Lakers vs. Lone Rangers. The four-quarter battle between the two sides did not divide the winners, Ellington's three points helped the Lakers reach overtime, and Reeves' three-point kill helped the Lakers win 107-104. Throughout the game, the Lakers should not have played so exciting, especially When Vogel used the "mini five" lineup twice, he was hit with a total of 20-0 offense, and it was Ellington and Reeves who redeemed Vogel.
In the first half, both teams played a good game in each of the two quarters, with the Lakers leading by 10 points in the first quarter and the Lone Rangers winning 13 points in the second quarter.
The Lakers' "mini five small" lineup in the second quarter had a huge problem, the Lone Ranger Porzingis offensive and defensive ends let the Lakers' small lineup "prototype" be exposed, the Lone Ranger hit the Lakers a 13-0 wave, Vogel helplessly used the thick eyebrow brother again, and even in the third quarter, the thick eyebrow brother Davis received 4 fouls early after Vogel still did not dare to replace him.
After the absence of davis, the "five small lineup" is the Lakers' more commonly used lineup recently, and the Lakers' small lineup offensive efficiency is very good after James hits the fifth position, but the Lone Ranger's Porzingis has a height of 2 meters 21 meters and moves well, and the Lakers' small lineup is not so easy to use when it meets the Lone Ranger.
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams tied the score, and the decisive moment came to the fourth quarter, but Vogel did not remember to play, and the opening was beaten 7-0 by the Lone Rangers with a small lineup, combined with the second quarter of that section, the total was beaten 20-0, and the Lakers' "mini five" lineup had not encountered such humiliation before.
Even if the Lone Ranger has played quite well for a long time, after all, there is no Doncic, lack of stable scorers, the Lakers played well in the final moments, James, Westbrook, thick-browed brother Davis all played well, and Reeves's three-pointer of 6-of-5 shots finally sealed the victory for the Lakers. I hope Vogel can be more careful when he is on the spot.
