On November 11, Beijing time, a special day of Double Eleven, the Lakers and the Heat presented an exceptionally exciting and fierce game for the fans. Today's game, the Lakers side let an old Zhan, did not think, the Heat side Butler played for seven minutes also because of the foot injury retreat, both teams let a main player, but also basically equal.
The two teams basically did not pull away the score in the whole game, and continued to alternate the score to the end. Today's game can be described as no loser, the two sides in the overtime game to each other to give gifts, melon serve five seconds illegal, the Heat side of several consecutive free throws do not score, did not seize the opportunity, lost the game.
In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Ben thought that Wei Shao's consecutive breakthroughs and mid-range shots helped the Lakers reverse the score and complete the redemption, but in the last minute, he made another mistake and sent a key mistake, almost burying a good game.
One of the heroes of today's Lakers winning is Munch, who stood up from the bench. From the last game Munch against the old club Hornets, it can be seen that although Munch did not play much time, he was very efficient, full of vitality, and the mid-range jump shot or throwing crosshair after the cover or blocking was very high, at the same time, he could also open up space and have a good three-point shooting ability.
Against the Heat today, he played 34 minutes, scored 27+6+3 data, shot 4-of-7 from three-point range, and shot 10-of-13 from the field, which is really too efficient, two words "true fragrance". His performance completely conquered Vogel, leaving him on the field in the second half of the fourth quarter and in overtime.
Munch is in such good shape, personally feel that it is time for the Lakers coaching staff to consider taking him into the starting lineup. After James' recent injury, the Lakers have commonly used starting lineups for Westbrook, Bradley, Bazemore, Thick Brow and Jordan Jr. If Montcla is brought in, it will be Replaced by Bazemore, whose recent games have often not had much playing time in the second half, and are about to become a pseudo-starter like Jordan Jr., and he has missed several layups in the fast attack this season. Therefore, it makes sense to replace him.
Munch has several advantages in starting the lineup, so let's analyze them.
First, young. Munch was similar in height to Westbrook and Bradley. But one of his big advantages is that he's young enough and physically fit, and he can top a strong point guard when Bradley's defense is struggling. Today Rondo rested, and when he was restricted or rested, as the main controller, he delivered three assists and was qualified. The key is that in the fourth quarter and overtime, when his physical fitness has declined, he still has more physical strength to support his attack and defense.
Second, the threat of shooting. The biggest difference between Munch and Bazmore is the shooting threat, or it may be that Bazmore's defensive tasks in the starting lineup are too heavy, resulting in a decline in his shooting stability. However, compared with the defensive effects of the two men, as well as the vitality displayed on the court, Munch's defense does not fall to the peak, there is also an excellent shooting threat, three points, mid-range, throwing can be, and a certain amount of production. This does open up some space in the starting lineup and make it slightly easier for Zhan Meiwei to break through. And when he and Anthony are on the court at the same time, there will be two more reliable shooting points, which will make the opposing defense more jealous of the Lakers' outside line.
Third, the key ball is handled calmly enough. In the last game, he threw a half-court whistle ball that picked up the pot and turned the whole field upside down. In this game, he forced a breakthrough at a critical moment, with only five seconds left to attack, and scored the key two points with a throwback throw. Although the game sample is not large, it can be seen that Munch is calm enough when handling the ball at key moments, and also relies on good physical ability to score some key goals, which is valuable. For the Lakers, signing Munch with a base salary, having a mid-range shot, having three points, and being able to attach key balls is really a very good deal and lucky.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the Lakers have recently had consecutive overtime games, and the injury camp is full, and today Rondo and Rivers are truncated due to injury, and the Lakers can only put together a list of ten people. Thick eyebrows, continuous play for about 45 minutes of game time, this is indeed a big hidden danger, I hope that the Lakers coaching staff can also realize this, you can take a break in time to take a break of thick eyebrows.
