Lakers News The referee report is out, the forward joins 23 12, and the Nuggets performs!
March 2, three news from the Los Angeles Lakers.
I got a referee's report.
Yesterday, the Lakers went back-to-back with the Washington Wizards, who are weaker in the East, and after four quarters of overtime, the Lakers narrowly beat the Warriors 134-131 to get two wins and finish ninth in the West. However, some fans were unhappy with the result, saying that on the Lakers' home court, the referees were clearly biased in favor of the Lakers, as evidenced by the free throws in that game. Today, the NBA officially released a list of penalties for the regular season and 2 minutes before the end of overtime, and 2 of them were in favor of the Wizards.
With 2:03 left in the game, the referee found that the Washington Wizards Afridia had been in the restricted area for too long with no obvious defenders around, which led to a three-second foul that gave the Lakers a free throw.
In the same round, the referee decided that Jones made physical contact with Russell when he made a layup and made a noticeable downward motion, so Russell made 2 free throws.
It's easy to see from the referees' stats that the Lakers didn't get much out of this game, losing by 3 points both inside and outside. In terms of free-throw shooting percentage, the fundamental reason why the two teams have very different styles is that the Wizards are more inclined to shoot from beyond the three-point line; The Lakers are more into fights, especially Davis, who relies on fouls to defend, which makes Davis the culprit of 13 free throws. It's clear that the Lakers weren't affected in yesterday's game"5 to 8"They are more of luck, they have more experience and have enough time to finish the game when it matters.
The former merge is 23+12
Today, according to the well-known ** Shamscharania news, the Lakers have agreed a two-way contract with libero Harry Giles to get more playing opportunities, while another versatile player, Windler, has also been fired. Giles is 25 years old and 211 meters, weight 110 kg, small forward, 17 years old, was drafted in the 20th draft of the NBA for five seasons, appeared in 158 appearances, played an average of 12 minutes, and scored 56 points 36 rebounds 11 assist, a single-game high of 23 points and 12 rebounds.
I have to say that when Giles was young, he was known as the No. 1 high school student in the United States with his **-like strength and all-round shooting ability, even the proud Tatum had to admit that Giles's strength was above him, and once, he became the No. 17 pick in the draft. Unfortunately, Giles missed the draft because of back-to-back injuries, and after the NBA, he also tossed and turned on different teams.
So, why did the Lakers sign Giles at this time? There are two reasons for this, one is that Wood and Caston are both injured now, so they need Giles to share the pressure for Davis; On the flip side, when Giles' talent can't be exchanged for money, he's only 25 years old and still has potential, and the Lakers want to repair his injury at minimal cost. Giles feels that being able to return to the much-anticipated Los Angeles is a great opportunity to prove himself, and in the words of the NBA, that's the key to whether he can take it.
Nugget Wars lineup update.
Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Beijing time, the Lakers will travel to Denver, and their opponent is the Lakers. The Lakers' roster has been confirmed, with Vanderbilt (sprained right midsole injury), Vincent (left knee injury), Wood (left knee edema), James (right ankle injury), Davis (bilateral tendonitis), all likely to play. You know, James is now nine points away from surpassing 40,000 points, and if he can make it, then this game will be a historic moment. So, can the Lakers use a win to cap off James' great night? We'll see.
