Sports Warm Winter Creation Season
Refuse to lose 5 in a row!The Lakers have not lost faith in the face of the devil's schedule. In the 30th round of the regular season, facing the Thunder, which is ranked second in the West, thick eyebrows released their words early, this one must be won!After the game, James also said bluntly: This is our first game of the season that we must win!As it turns out, the Lakers are well prepared for this.
First of all, Ham took the lead in changing formations, pressing Reeves and Russell to the bench to form the starting line-up of James, Prince, Reddish, Vanderbilt and Davis, among which the shortest Prince also had 1.98m. Under the suppression of height, the offensive efficiency has been significantly improved. Averaged 27 per game in the first quarter of the seasonThe Lakers, who scored 6 points, scored 36 points in the first quarter of this game, only 3 points behind the Thunder.
In this context, the Lakers, who did not dig holes at the beginning, the game went much smoother. Russell, who came off the bench, also brought a surprise, scoring 12 points in just six minutes in the second quarter to help the team take the lead. James and Hachimura continued to attack efficiently, and the Lakers firmly held a 12-point advantage at halftime.
According to the normal flow of the Lakers this season, it should be a loss in the first quarter, a chase in the second quarter, and a scorching ...... in the third quarterAfter a smooth start, there were different changes in the third quarter, when James and Hachimura hit three three-pointers together, and when Reaves hit 3+1, Holmgren of the Thunder missed three consecutive empty three-pointers, and the difference once widened to 26 points. Fortunately, Alexander's strong ability to solve problems is outstanding, and when his teammates can't shoot, he continues to twist his body in the air to score, helping the Thunder narrow the gap as much as possible before the start of the fourth quarter, and at one point concede the difference to 8 points in the fourth quarter.
At this time, I have to mention LeBron James, although he is 39 years old, he is still in great physical condition, and he is still one of the strongest players in the game, especially against the Thunder. As a result, the offense at the critical moment was unambiguous, not only able to eat the basket, but also the chasing hat, and even more powerful was the three-point bullet. In the end, he hit two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, which embarrassed the Thunder who missed three points in consecutive empty positions, and even if the difference returned to 9 points at the last moment, he didn't have the idea of fighting again, and directly changed the bench lineup.
Throughout the game, one thing is reflected, that is, the Lakers are increasing their confidence a little bit, and the Thunder are losing confidence a little bit. And the reason for this situation is well understood. That is, the Lakers with Zhan Mei, who are indeed not afraid of any team, plus a set of defensive and shooting roles, are a strong contender for the championship, which has been perfectly demonstrated in the mid-season tournament. Of course, it also exposed a problem, if the Lakers want to win, James and Davis must do their best, and the thick eyebrows played 41 minutes and 52 seconds in this game, which is too tiring. On the other hand, James also appeared in 37 minutes and 18 seconds.
Another point is that if the Lakers want to get a solid advantage on the court, James needs to be efficient offensively. After watching this game, you will find that whether it is Hachimura's play or Reaves' play, it will be difficult to make the Thunder succumb in the end. On the other hand, when James scores consecutive points on the court, the advantage accumulates very quickly. James also scored 40 points on 13-of-20 shooting, including 5-of-5 three-pointers, becoming the first player in history to shoot 40+ and 100% three-point shooting, and also set a new season scoring high. The Lakers will face the Celtics in the next game, can James and Thick Eyebrows still withstand it?Can the Lakers go on a winning streak?Welcome to communicate and interact with "DK Talk Sports" in the comment area below.
