Beijing time on December 13, the NBA regular season continued, today the Lakers sat at home to usher in the Challenge of the Magic, and finally the Lakers with a wave of attack in the third quarter of a single quarter 36-10, the team defeated the Magic 106-94, in the third quarter the Lakers only let the Magic shoot 8.7% of the shooting rate This is the Lakers since December 14, 1999 The Lakers suppressed the opponent's lowest single-quarter shooting rate, 22 years ago they made the Clippers 18-in-18 shooting rate as low as 5.6%.
Are NBA-level teams, even able to limit the opponent's shooting rate so low, but also enough to see the lakers' defensive potential, although their defense so far this season is not too good, but today the Lakers let everyone see how good they are in the focus of the defense, and today's such a good defensive intensity is James, he set the tone for the game trend at the beginning of the third quarter, sent 2 blocks in a single quarter, and also scored 14 points and 3 assists.
This campaign James shot 12 of 20 from the field, 3 of 7 three-pointers to take 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks, this is James's fourth triple-double since the age of 35, he is also the history of the most triple-doubles player after the age of 35 up to 4 times, through the recent game, who will say that James is old? Although his athleticism is not as good as before, his skills are better than before.
In the past 8 games, James can average 29.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8 assists per game, the shooting rate is as high as 52%, perhaps what everyone does not know is that so far in the season, Durant has won 11 30+ to lead the league, but he has played 25 games, James has played 16 games and won 30+ 8 times, James has half of the game won 30+ ranked first in the league, perhaps it is too early to say that Old Zhan is not the first person in the league.
In the third quarter, it was James who infected his teammates that the team had such a good performance, And Jordan Jr. scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block in the 4 minutes of the third quarter, and 4 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in 8 minutes, such a defensive attitude is commendable, and Tucker, who performed well in this campaign, also said in an interview after the game that James infected him: "Seeing the 36-year-old James play like this, this makes me have no excuse." ”
Today Horton Tucker shot 7-of-14 from the field, 3 of 6 from three points and 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 steals, perhaps his projection today was extraordinary, but today Horton Tucker poured his all his strength on the defensive end to be commendable, and only 1 turnover in the whole game was extremely reasonable, which is also rare for Tucker, after the game, Wei Shao also talked about Tucker, he said: "He is figuring out the problem, learning how to find his position, play his role." ”
The Lakers abandoned a number of good blue-collar players in the offseason, including Kuzma and Caruso, two players they developed themselves, when they left a young Tucker for 3 years and 30.78 million to make many fans question, and now we seem to see what the Lakers see as a future player he has strengths, Horton Tucker still has a lot of potential to dig into on the offensive end, his ball-holding offense is very good, but more importantly, his defense.
Maybe he's not as defensive as Caruso now, but Tucker's talent is good enough, powerful and fast, the key is that his long arms and big hands are too good, a 1.93m defender, arm span of 2.17 meters, which gives him an advantage on the defensive end, Caruso's attack may not develop to the top level, and Tucker is expected to grow into an offensive and defensive player in the future.
