On December 1, the NBA continued to stage a fierce regular season, and the game between the Lakers and the Thunder was hailed as the highlight of the day. On the one hand, the Lakers, as the traditional giants of the league, have always attracted much attention;On the other hand, after years of hard accumulation, the rise of rookies Alexander, Holmgren, Keady and others in recent years has also made people see the infinite possibilities for them to impact the playoffs. In the first quarter of the opening game, the Lakers led by league veteran James used their experience and skills to play a 30-23 single-quarter lead, which made the young Thunder feel the hardships of back-to-back games. Lakers fans also once believed that if they didn't dig a hole in the first quarter, they would have a high probability of winning the game. However, the young players of the Thunder team did not care, in the second quarter of the game, they played their strength unscrupulously, and the astonishing score of 42:23 in a single quarter made the Lakers fall into a 12-point disadvantage before halftime.
In the third quarter, the Lakers were trying to find opportunities to chase points, and James performed well, scoring 7 points on 2-of-2 shooting, and also had a good performance in rebounds and assists. However, the Thunder's Alexander once again showed his strengths, allowing the margin to continue to expand to 20 points. By the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers had fallen into a deep quagmire, and the aging team could not fight back quickly, and Coach Cephalosporin could only give up this game, and the Lakers' winning streak was ended. After the game, fans began to review the game, who is to blame for the Lakers' loss?Assessing the Lakers' overall performance, the 39-year-old James played 35 minutes, shot 7-of-13 from the field, and got 21 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. And Brother Thick Mei played 36 minutes, with an efficient shooting rate of 11 of 18, and got 31 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists.
Russell's game, although he did not have the amazing performance of 35 points in the last game, his performance in the game was still decent. So, who is to blame for the loss in this game of the Lakers?Maybe it's Wood, who James has high hopes for. In this game, Wood got 24 minutes of playing time, but only scored inefficiently on 1-of-6 shooting, and his performance of 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist was disappointing. As the team's substitute, Wood's stats weren't bad in this game, but his defensive performance was disappointing. Wood didn't play a role in limiting opponents' offense, and even became a target for opponents, which frustrated Wood and affected his concentration on the defensive end. So at the start of the third quarter, the coaching staff decided to drop Wood. To make matters worse, Wood also made a low-level defensive mistake, which surprised Bushy Eyebrows, who couldn't believe Wood would make such a low-level mistake. While Wood hasn't played a lot of minutes, his performances on the field are hard to ignore.
Due to his poor performance on the defensive end, Wood's playing time was cut. It also made Wood think about how to improve his defensive ability in order to better contribute to the team. In the third quarter of the game, Wood's performance began to decline, which was one of the reasons why he was dropped. At this crucial moment, the team needed to be more focused and consistent defensively, and Wood didn't deliver a great performance. He needs to pay more attention to his opponent's movement and offense in order to play his role better on the defensive end. While Wood's defensive performance has been less than satisfactory, his offensive performance has been impressive. He scored brilliantly on a number of occasions in the game and brought important points to the team. Still, Wood needs to work harder on the defensive end in order to better contribute to the team. Overall, Wood's performances in this game have fluctuated a bit, but he is still a player with a lot of potential.
He needs to be more focused and consistent on the defensive end to improve his defensive abilities and contribute better to the team. At the same time, he also needs to maintain his excellent performance on the offensive end and bring more points to the team.
