The NBA regular season ushered in a high-profile matchup at 9:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 1, with the Oklahoma City Thunder facing the Los Angeles Lakers. Previously, the Lakers were in 7th place in the West with an 11-8 record, while Bushy Eyebrows and James still showed dominance. However, they were met by a formidable Thunder in this game and eventually lost 110-133.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides went back and forth, and the Lakers relied on James' organization and scoring to take a slight lead. In the first quarter, there was a tense atmosphere on the court, and every fan could feel the intensity of the game. However, the Lakers only had a temporary advantage.
As the game progressed, the Thunder found the code to crack the Lakers' defense. The Lakers' weak point on the inside was hit by the Thunder many times, and the thick eyebrows frequently completed difficult points not far from the basket. At the end of the first half, the Thunder counterattacked and overtook the score, and the Lakers fell into passivity.
In the third quarter, the Lakers completely lost control of the game. The dominance of thick eyebrows became more and more prominent, slashing 31+14 in the air, he was like a giant beast sweeping the world, and the Lakers had no power to fight back on the inside. Alexander's organization also gave the Thunder more scoring opportunities, and the Lakers were nearly unable to collapse in this offensive wave.
In the fourth quarter, James tried to raise his arms and shout to lead the Lakers on a counterattack. The quasi-triple-double data seems dazzling, but in front of the Thunder's solid defense, James also looks alone. The overall strength of the opponent made the Lakers unreachable, and the game entered the final stage, and the Lakers completely lost the opportunity to counterattack.
At the critical moment of the game, the Lakers fought back, but the Thunder's overall defense was like an impregnable wall, and the Lakers struggled to find an effective way to attack. Thick eyebrows and Alexander's performance in key moments became a symbol of the Lakers' despair, they could not find a breakthrough, and the Lakers were finally destroyed in this thunderous storm.
This game revealed the fact that the dark horse of the West, the Thunder, is not accidental. They showed great overall strength in the game, with Bushy Eyebrow's dominance and Alexander's playmaking ability making them a team to be reckoned with in the league. In contrast, the Lakers' holes on the defensive end and their reliance on the interior are becoming more apparent, and this game is a profound lesson.
Through data analysis, we can clearly see that the Lakers are at a disadvantage in several ways. The first is rebounding, and the Lakers clearly don't have an advantage in the fight for rebounds, which provides the Thunder with multiple opportunities to re-attack. The second is the interior scoring, and the performance of the thick eyebrows is a step up from the Lakers' interior players, and the Lakers can't find an effective way to defend. Finally, the team's overall shooting percentage, the Thunder are more comfortable with teamwork.
The Lakers faced a strong opponent in this game, but it also made them see their own shortcomings. In future games, the Lakers will need to adjust their tactics and find a more comprehensive way to attack and defend. The Thunder, on the other hand, are coming to the fore, and they are no longer the obscurity of past few seasons, but a team to watch.
This game is undoubtedly a test for the Lakers, requiring not only the excellent performance of core players, but also the role players to step up. In the next step of the Lakers' journey, they need to learn lessons and improve their overall defensive level to better cope with future challenges.
The Thunder, on the other hand, have once again proved that they are the super dark horses of the season with their strong team strength and Alexander's individual performance.
