The Lakers won again, James 30 points and three-doubles broke out strongly, achieved 2 consecutive wins the ranking has been consolidated, the Lakers against the Magic game, the original strength of the two teams is very different, Davis although absent, but the Lakers still have James and Westbrook two All-Star players, and the Magic is to rebuild the team, mainly to cultivate young players, James once again to young players "lessons". He was unstoppable in the whole game, leading the Lakers to a 12-point victory over the Magic, winning consecutive games while giving the Magic four consecutive losses.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers' state was very good, especially Bradley, who continued the strong state of the previous game, the three-point easy score, James domineering breakthrough layup, let the Lakers maintain the advantage on the court, but the Magic young man's feel is not bad, especially Wagner and Cole Anthony, consecutive three-point shots, the first quarter ended, the Lakers are still 7 points behind. In the second quarter, the Lakers regained their feel, Westbrook and Anthony continued to shoot points, James also had 2+1 opportunities, the Lakers directly played a 14-6 offensive climax, Cole Antoni and Lopez Jr. stabilized the situation for the Magic, for which the Lakers three points, the Magic led by 3 points at the end of the half.
In the third quarter, the Lakers strengthened the defense at the same time, the offense completely opened, 8 minutes let the Magic did not get a point, and the Lakers under the leadership of James played a 23-0 offensive climax, the point difference directly up to 20 points, the third quarter lakers have led by 23 points, the entire third quarter Lakers scored 36 points, and the Magic only scored 10 points. The Lakers won 26 points in a single quarter. In one fell swoop, the victory of the game was laid. In the final quarter, the Magic offensive state picked up, the Lakers defense began to slacken, Hampton and Wagner chased points continuously, stopped the Lakers many times, James hit a three-point shot to stabilize the situation for the Lakers, because the point difference is indeed too large, the Magic single quarter net victory of 11 points, has felt the chase points hopeless, can only accept the loss.
James is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory, the whole game played 37 minutes, 20 shots hit 12 times, three-point shots also have a good feel of 7 shots 3, got 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks of the three-double data, it is his excellent play, when the Lakers are behind, he helps the Lakers stabilize the situation, when the Lakers lead, he stabilizes the advantage for the Lakers, completely dominates the offensive and defensive ends, and wins such data to let James create three records, one of them. This is the 101st triple-double in James's career, second, at the age of 37, he can still get 30 points + 10 data, and only Jordan in the history of the NBA, and third, after the age of 35, James can also get a triple-double four times, ranking first in the NBA, before only the big bird Bird and Kobe Bryant can do it. However, the two have only one time, and it can be said that James is completely the NBA's "walking recorder".
Compared with the Lakers to win, the mistakes of this game can not be underestimated, James this game 6 mistakes, Wei Shao also has 5 times, as the core of the team, the mistakes of the two are indeed too high, especially Wei Shao, this game got 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but 5 mistakes, so that Wei Shao in the last 4 games appeared 20 mistakes, currently in the mistake list, the number of mistakes is second only to Harden, many key mistakes almost let the Lakers be reversed by the opponent, this is a problem that Wei Shao must control.
Secondly, the Lakers made a mistake again, that is, when leading again, the defense was lax, in the key fourth quarter, the Lakers had led by 23 points in the third quarter, and as long as the Lakers took out a little defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, they would not let the Magic play an offensive climax many times, and constantly narrowed the opportunity to narrow the point difference, but the Lakers once again appeared defensively lax, if it was not James's three points at a critical moment, breaking the magic momentum of chasing points, perhaps the game was another scene. The game that could have been clocked in in the third quarter let James play 37 minutes and Westbrook play 36 minutes, which requires Vogel to reflect well, after all, the previous two losses to the Thunder were overturned in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers need to be behind without discouragement and the lead is not relaxed.
