On January 30, Beijing time, the Rockets played against the Lakers at home, and the Rockets successfully defeated the Lakers 135-119 at the end of the game. The Lakers have been in good shape recently, especially in the game against the Warriors, the Lakers performed well, and finally the Lakers successfully won the game under the play of James, and the Lakers are in ninth place in the West after winning 2 consecutive wins, on the other hand, the Rockets have been in poor form recently, even if they lose to the Celtics in the game, they really shouldn't lose to the Trail Blazers and Nets, and the current Rockets are ranked 11th in the West with a record of 21-24, but the Lakers can't be careless here, If the Rockets' young players find their groove in the game, it won't be easy for the Lakers to win.
In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets played a wave of 8 1, and then the thick eyebrows scored inside to stop the bleeding, fortunately, Russell was in a hot state to help the Lakers chase the score, but under the leadership of Green and Shen Jing, the Rockets once led to 10 points, and the thick eyebrows hit three points at the critical moment, plus James scored an inside dunk, and the Lakers chased 5 points. After the pause, the Lakers completed a wave of 8 2 to overtake, and at the critical moment, Green and Shen Jing helped the Rockets stabilize the situation, and the Lakers could still stabilize the situation by relying on Russell, but Whitmore's outburst at the end of the game directly helped the Rockets open the score, and the Lakers trailed by 11 points at the end of the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Lakers were able to bite the score by relying on James and Russell, but then the Lakers pulled their hips directly, and Whitmore directly helped the Rockets lead to 16 points, and the next game The Rockets once led to 21 points, but relying on James and thick eyebrows, the Lakers once chased 13 points, but unfortunately the Lakers performed badly at the end of the game, and the Rockets led by 18 points at the end of the half.
After the start of the third quarter of the game, the Lakers still did not improve, on the other hand, the Rockets became more and more courageous, and the Rockets were already leading to 30 points after Smith scored on the board. Although the Lakers did not give up the game in the next game, Shen Jing continued to score here, although Russell was able to score to stop the bleeding, but the Lakers' outside defense was useless, and the Rocket's outside three-point state was good, so the Lakers were still behind by a big score, but at the end of the stage, thick eyebrows and Hachimura still helped the Lakers chase the score, but unfortunately Green helped the Rockets stabilize the situation at the end of the game, and the Lakers fell behind by 24 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers did not give up the game, but the Lakers really couldn't prevent the Rockets from attacking, so the Rockets continued to expand the lead, but James and Russell still led the Lakers to chase the score, but unfortunately Reeves hit the iron at the critical moment, and the follow-up Rockets opened the score, and finally the Lakers defeated the Rockets.
The Rockets won this game relatively easily, after the start of the game, the Rockets resolutely hit the Lakers' inside, the Lakers' poor outside defense made Green play quite easily, and it was Green who broke out early to help the Rockets establish a lead, and at the end of the game, Green got 34 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, and in this game, Shen Jing's play did not lose thick eyebrows at all, and finally Shen Jing also got 31 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. In this game, it can be clearly seen that James and thick eyebrows are a little tired, although Russell can maintain his condition, but he is unable to return to the sky, and in the end the Lakers still suffered a heavy defeat, at the end of the game, James got 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, thick eyebrows got 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and Russell got 23 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.
The referee's blowing penalty in this game also caused controversy, especially Dillon's foul on Vanderbilt in the game, when Dillon had an obvious pushing action, but the referee still blew an ordinary foul after the replay, Vanderbilt was very dissatisfied with this, so after Dillon and Vanderbilt had some things happen again, Vanderbilt was dissatisfied and moved Dillon's braids, and finally Vanderbilt was expelled from the game. And Hamm's coaching in this game can be called a disaster, the defense of the starting lineup has obviously been blown up by the Rockets, but Ham just doesn't change, Ham doesn't call a timeout when the Rockets get up many times, and the start of Russell and Reaves is really a big defensive hole, but Ham is still carrying it out until now, what is even more uncomfortable is that the Rockets have slowly taken a big lead, and the Lakers will play back-to-back tomorrow, but Ham still chose to let James play in the fourth quarter, although the Lakers did chase points, But it's still hard to change the overall situation, and such a Hamm really deserves to get out of class.
