On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Spurs and Lakers ushered in a rematch, the two teams just played a game two days ago, and the Lakers narrowly defeated their opponents. The game came to the home court of the Spurs, and the Lakers were missing the starting core of the three cores of Bushy Eyebrows, Shuila and Reddish, so the Spurs were also favored to end their 18-game losing streak. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players' performance.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Branham and Sochan combined to cut 4 points for the Spurs to take the lead in opening the situation, James and Reaves combined to cut 4 points in response, and then the game entered the time of the Spurs, Vassell and Keldon hit three points one after another, Sochan played 2 + 1, the Spurs instantly established a double-digit lead, James relied on free throws to stop the bleeding, Sochan hit three more points, James killed inside, Wemban and Collins scored in response, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, and the Spurs led by 20 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Osman scored two points to expand the team's lead, James forced the inside line to create kills, sounding the horn of the Lakers, Hachimura scored two points, Hayes scored 2 + 1, Reeves and Prince hit three points one after another, the Lakers narrowed the disadvantage to 12 points in one go, Branham stopped the bleeding with three points, James counterattacked and dunked, Prince and Wood combined for 7 points, and then Lao Zhan hit three points to help the Lakers chase only 7 points to end the first half.
Wembanya scored 5 points in a row to lead the Spurs on the offensive end, Vassell and Sochan scored 4 points in a row to help the Spurs reextend the lead to double digits, and then the Spurs' firepower continued unabated, Vassell and Branham hit three points one after another, and the Spurs extended their lead to 15 points, but the Lakers did not give up, Hachimura scored 6 points in a row to help the team narrow the gap, and the Lakers fell behind by 11 points in the third quarter.
James scored two points in the final quarter to narrow the gap for the Lakers, Vassell and Osman responded with 4 points, Prince scored two points, Vassell responded with three points, Hachimura scored 4 points in a row, Wemban and Osman scored 4 points in response, although the Lakers played a good offense, but the Spurs withstood the opponent's offensive, and finally the team also defeated the Lakers 129-115.
In the absence of thick eyebrows, I thought that Wenban would play a good performance, but his performance in this game was not good, 13 shots in 5, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 13 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Keldon shot 6 of 15 in this game, 3 of 7 three-pointers got 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, his impact is too good, and now the star temperament is becoming more and more outstanding, Vassell shot 12 of 19 from the field, 5 of 10 three-pointers got 36 points, 6 rebounds and 32 assists, Vassell's projection ability is very good, this is the second and third core of the team that Popovich configured for Wembanyama, but the current Spurs lineup is not perfect enough.
Now the biggest problem for the Spurs is the lack of a player who can control the court and connect the team, they can't grasp the big lead, the team is too messy, the team has tried to let Sochan play the backcourt, but Sochan's skills are very rough, and it is really difficult for him to play the organization, and now some of the players signed in the offseason have been lifted and can be traded, maybe the Spurs should try to trade to get an organizational backcourt.
Through this game, everyone should also have a deeper understanding of the current Lakers and James, the 39-year-old Zhan is indeed no longer able to play as dominant as before, he can only play three quarters or less efficiently, which is also a problem caused by age, so it was thick eyebrows that ensured the basic plate for the Lakers before, and he bit the score with a stable output, allowing James to get a break to make kills at critical moments.
James shot 7 of 17 in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers got 23 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, he was indeed able to make the Lakers' offense play more fluent, but after he got off the court, the Lakers' offense was really not good, and even was suppressed by a weak team like the Spurs, Reaves shot 8 of 18 in this game, 4 of 8 three-pointers got 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and he became the second core of the team in the absence of thick eyebrows.
Hachimura shot 8 of 15 from the field, scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, he proved that he can help the team, but the team can play too many players, so he can't get a chance when he is full play, so the team wants to trade him away, Wood played well in this game, 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 15 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, the Lakers can play too many players, so it is difficult to get a chance like Wood.
