On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, in a game that everyone paid more attention to, the Lakers and the Lone Rangers played to the last moment, and finally the Lakers relied on Rivers's killer thriller in overtime to win this game. In this game, the Lakers forced a five-five when facing Doncic's absent lone ranger. The Lakers have been unable to solve the point of Porzingis in this game, although Porzingis's shooting rate is not high, but his overall performance is still good, and it can be regarded as taking on the defensive responsibility under the basket. Of course, the overall strength of the Lakers in this game is still dominant, but they almost lost in regular time, which is somewhat unacceptable.
Lakers star James played 43 minutes in this game, shot 9 of 19, 4 of 9 three-pointers and scored 24 points, the overall performance is not bad, but it is not as exciting as before. Another Lakers star, Anthony Davis, had 20 points and 12 rebounds on 8-of-18 shooting, while also making six turnovers, and his performance was only average. Another giant, Westbrook, was the team's biggest victory in this game, and his final scoring and passing in overtime was the key to the Lakers' win.
Of course, the decent performance of the two players in James and Thick Brow also made some other role players need to stand up and help the team. Ellington's performance in this game is not bad, but the performance of another outside player is not so good, it can even be said that it is not effective, he is Bazemore.
Bazemore played 15 minutes in the game, did not score on 0-of-3 shooting, only got 1 assist and 1 steal, and also had 2 fouls, which was very bad. Although Bazemore still played a good performance on the defensive end in this game, because his lateral movement was obviously regressive, he still seemed a little weak, and the overall effect could only be said to be poor. On the offensive end, this 1 meter 93-tall guard is even more of a disaster, this season's Bazemore's offensive state has not been very good, which may be related to his personal competitive state and the Lakers' tactics, overall, he is really not suitable for the current Lakers, so Pelinka has actually put him on the trading shelf, just wait to deal with it. But The value of Baezmore's current transaction is actually not high, Pelinka still needs to deal with his contract as soon as possible, how to deal with it depends on Pelinka, I hope to have a good result.
