Friends who love the NBA, good evening! Today is the last game day before the Christmas war, and the league has scheduled 12 games, in which the Nets' game against the Trail Blazers was postponed. Today's focus is on the Lakers vs. Spurs and the Warriors vs. Grizzlies. The Warriors lacked Wiggins, Poole, a brother and brother-in-law in this game, but Curry scored 46 points on 8-of-14 three-pointers, and the Warriors defeated the bitter Grizzlies. On the Lakers side, James and Wei Shaohe cut 66 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, but the Lakers' weak defense allowed the Spurs to score 138 points, and the Spurs scored a double victory over the Lakers. The game was exciting, but the hot news off the pitch was also worth paying attention to:
1, Diop: When the Lakers played a small lineup, I was very successful in the blocking offense. Diop scored 30 points on all 11 shots, the Spurs' first 30+ points of the season, and 16 of his 30 points were in the box. He said that when the Lakers played small lineups, I became very successful in the block, and I just had to keep going down to score points. Note: Diop has averaged less than 5 points per game this season.
2) Green: It's frustrating to play Christmas on the road, and I want to be with my kids. Green said that we have so many players out of the game, the ranking is easy to go to the away game, it will go down, so the victory of this game is of great significance. I have three kids and I want to spend Christmas with them but it's a shame to have to play away from home, which is really frustrating.
3. Howard: Other teams won't pity us, and I won't blame the new crown for the problem. Howard played 22 minutes today and had 4 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, he said, no one will pity you, no one will let you win, they will only squash you. I couldn't train in quarantine, so I was a little tired today, and we've had a hard time lately, but I'm not going to push those issues into the coronavirus issue.
4. James: Our defense has improved tremendously in the past month, and we didn't play offensive tonight. James said we want to play as a team every night and we want every teammate to find form. Our defense has improved significantly over the past month, but tonight we lost a lot of points.
5. James: I've played in one of the best Christmas battles of all time, against the Warriors in 17 years. The Lakers will be playing the Nets in a Christmas game this Sunday, and James said that I think the best Christmas game I've ever played in was the one against the Warriors in Cleveland, and that was the pinnacle showdown. Of course, coming to Staples Center and the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant to play a Christmas war is also very good. It's always exciting and always an honor to be part of the Christmas wars.
6. James: After KD suffered an Achilles tendon injury, I never doubted that he would be fully recovered. Speaking about Durant's excellent state after the Achilles tendon rupture, James said that Thomas was also injured in the 90s, when people did not know how to treat it, and Durant benefited from the advanced medical technology now. Durant isn't the kind of player with a lot of muscle or a lot of weight, he's slender and he doesn't have to worry about impacting that area. For Durant, it's not a problem for him to recover from any injury, he's that kind of player.
7, James: We are going back and forth between the training hall and our home, but there are always positive tests. James said we were missing too many people, including the coach, who was an important person for us. We actually just went back and forth between the training center and our home, and we didn't move outside, but we kept getting positive tests, and I hope I don't get that situation again.
8. Curry: My ankle feels good and defense is one of the hallmarks of Peyton II. Curry twisted his ankle during the game today and said, "I'm fine now, I'm not worried about it at all." Payton Jr. is the best 6'3" player in the world, and he's outpacing his height. Although my defense has gotten better, Payton has always taken defense seriously, and defense is one of his hallmarks.
9) James: There is no chemistry in any of our lineups, that's the truth. James said that so far this season we have not figured out how to win and what is the best team on the field? Our squad changes too often, we don't have a chance to accumulate anything, we haven't accumulated any same time, so there's no chemistry in any of our lineups.
10. Fitzdale: I was also worried about whether James was tired, but he refused to take a break. Fitzdale said James is still in good shape at such an advanced age, he is a person who pays attention to lifestyle habits, he pays attention to details, and coaching him is easy. But my concern is whether we are overusing him, whether he is tired or not, etc., and when I ask him if he wants to take a break, he always says no.
