Winning the mid-season tournament seems to have drained the Lakers' luck a lot, and after earning 500,000 per person, I don't know if the players are busy spending money, and the Lakers seem to have been losing.
After sending warmth to the Spurs, the Lakers started their losing streak, and on December 21, the Lakers met their potential trade next home, the Bulls. As everyone knows, the Lakers are flirting with LaVine and DeRozan of the Bulls, so this game has also attracted the attention of many fans.
Facing the Bulls, who are in a bad situation, the Lakers must be hoping to use this game to stop their losing streak. However, things may be different from the Lakers, after the game started, the first to enter the state was the Bulls, the Bulls played 33:22 in a single quarter, leading by 11 points in a single quarter, such a point difference also made many Lakers fans feel cold, because usually the Lakers dig a hole in the first quarter, and it is difficult to win.
Trailing by 11 points in the first quarter, the Lakers began their Xi path of chasing points, and the combination of James and Brother Thick Eyebrows allowed the Lakers to recover 5 points in this quarter, and they still trailed by 6 points in the first quarter. In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers generously sent back the advantage of chasing points, losing by 6 points in a single quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, the Bulls led by 12 points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers looked like they wanted to win the game with James, Rivers and Brother Thick Eyebrows, and the entire Lakers team seemed to be playing as slow as they had played back-to-back for 3 consecutive days, they didn't hand over too much momentum to chase points, and the Bulls always had the initiative on the court, and the Lakers finally lost this game and suffered three consecutive defeats. After losing this game, the Lakers' ranking continued to fall to No. 9 to be friends with the Suns, and James may not have expected to meet Durant in this position.
Losing this game, who is the culprit on the Lakers' side? It was undoubtedly Russell who should have packed up and sent away overnight. In this game, Russell played 28 minutes, shot 1 of 6, got 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 fouls, to be honest, does anyone think Russell's contract with an annual salary of 15 million is too worthwhile?
In the fourth quarter of the chasing stage, when I saw Russell's hesitation to handle the ball, when Russell's three-point line was empty, James also showed an unbelievable performance when he looked at Russell, maybe James found it hard to imagine that this is the data that Russell can hand over, as everyone knows, Russell just can't play strong teams and tough battles, but now the Bulls are also a strong team.
