On December 24, Beijing time, the Lakers lost 110-138 at home to the NBA regular season, suffering a wave of four consecutive losses. After this campaign, the Lakers ranked 6th in the West with a record of 16 wins and 17 losses, and the winning percentage fell below 50% again. Zhan Wei led the Lakers to seek a win, which is a complete whitewashing of thick eyebrows.
In this game, James played 34 minutes, shooting 16 of 25, contributing 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 three-point data, these six major statistics are the first in the team; Westbrook scored 17 points in the third quarter, contributing 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. The double core performance is outstanding, the Lakers fiasco is mainly due to the defensive end of the explosion, the two teams of the bench score is the Spurs 69-20 Lakers, the two teams of three-point shooting is the Spurs 18-5 Lakers.
After the game, according to US media statistics, during the 4 consecutive losses, the Lakers had 8 statistics ranked first in the league, including: the offensive efficiency was only 96.2, the 16.5 points lost to the opponent in 100 rounds, the average score was 100.5 points per game, the average loss was 17.3 points per game, and the average of 9 three-pointers per game was only 9 three-pointers per game, tied with the Wizards for the first place, the three-point shooting rate was only 25.9%, the free throw shooting rate was only 63.5% of the free throw shooting rate (it is difficult to believe that this is an NBA professional team, similar to the CBA), in addition, The Lakers averaged 7.8 points per game using opponent errors and was also the bottom of the league.
Since the thick eyebrow injury, the Performance of the Lakers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has collapsed. Before that, celebrities including Barkley and Perkins had pushed the main reason for the Lakers' poor performance on the thick eyebrows, thinking that at the age of 27 and the top 5 basketball talents in the league, he should not behave so muddyly, but now it seems that we may really blame him. This season, Davis has played in 27 games for the team, averaging 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 2 blocks, shooting 52.1% from the field and 17.8% from three-point range.
As we all know, the tactical core of the Lakers is James + Davis, and now Davis is injured, only James is left to punish the opponent's defensive strategy, plus the role players also have different degrees of injuries, at this time others can hardly help James, one person to play, four people look normal; although Wei Shao is also one of the big three, his playing style can not defeat the opponent. (It is not only the teammates who hold James back, but also the coach's magical operation and lineup arrangement)
Davis played inefficiently, playing soft is a fact, but he is tired is also a fact, he and James have made different degrees of sacrifice in order to make Westbrook integrate into the team as soon as possible, so at this time we should not blame him, but should pray that he can return as soon as possible!
