On December 16, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Lone Rangers away, and the Lakers successfully defeated the Lone Rangers 107-104 at the end of the game. Although the Lakers eventually succeeded in winning the game, but in this game the Lakers still encountered a lot of difficulties, they were targeted by the opponent when they used a small lineup in the second and fourth quarters of the game, so this allowed the opponent to occupy the lead on the court, fortunately, in the later game, James, Wei Shao stood up to help the team, and finally Reeves completed the kill in overtime to help the Lakers win the game.
Although James did not have much dazzling performance in overtime, but in the previous game, James was really powerful, and it was amazing to hit a super three points in the game, so James also did his best in this game, and at the end of the game, James got 24 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. At the same time, after this game, James was also outspoken, talking about the Lakers' current 16-13 ranking 6th in the West, James said: "Our performance this season is not as everyone hopes, things are developing like this, we play and always hope that we can have a better performance, we want to get better every day, we want to continue this habit and then do our best every night.
James also knows that the Lakers' current state has not met the expectations of fans, but the Lakers are also slowly getting better, and Wei Shao is also gradually getting better, and although the thick eyebrows have had a bad performance in the game, the thick eyebrows still play their own performance at key moments, so the current Lakers are still developing in a good direction. And the Lakers won this game, Westbrook and Reeves must be the most powerful, after all, the two performed well in overtime, so they also got enough attention, and it is understandable that such a thing happened, after all, Westbrook and Reeves performed really well, they should also get enough appreciation, but the Lakers should really not ignore one person when they win.
This person is Ellington, although there are some empty opportunities in the game Ellington did not grasp it, but in the last moment of the fourth quarter, if it were not for Ellington hitting a three-pointer, then I am afraid there would be no Westbrook and Reeves in overtime, and this three-point shot is also very difficult, so Ellington can hit is also very critical, and this season's Ellington is high hopes, after all, his three-point ability is what the Lakers lacked in the past, and from this game, Ellington has reflected his ability. However, for Ellington, he still needs to play well enough in the game, but with Ellington's performance in this game, he should not be ignored, and the Lakers' win against Ellington should also be praised.
And when the Lakers win there is good news, the good news is that the Lakers are expected to impact the top four positions in the West, the Lakers after defeating the Lone Ranger has no win difference with the fifth Clippers in the West, they and the fourth in the West Grizzlies only have 2 wins difference, and then the Lakers will play against the Timberwolves, Bulls, Bulls, although the record is good this season, but now they lack of major generals, and now the Lakers are in full swing, so the Lakers are expected to continue to maintain their winning streak, So in the next game, the Lakers can go to the top four positions in the West, and the emergence of such a thing is undoubtedly good news for the Lakers, after all, if they can do such a thing, they can make the morale of the Lakers high, and they can also play a better chemical reaction on the court.
