Today is the NBA's Christmas war game day, and the Los Angeles Lakers naturally won't miss it, after all, they have many stars. The Brooklyn Nets are also very important roles, and Durant and Harden are also interesting.
However, in reality, a large number of stars triggered the league's health and safety agreements and were forced to truce. As a result, Neither Durant nor Irving can play, and the Nets have 8 players who can't play, and only Harden leads the team alone. The Lakers' star was basically out of this agreement, but "thick eyebrow brother" Anthony Davis injured the medial collateral ligament of the knee and had to truce.
It seems that the Lakers are at home, and there is still a chance to win against such a Nets, after all, James and Westbrook can play games. However, the actual result was that the Lakers lost to the Nets 115-122, and it was almost caught up in the final quarter, and finally lost.
In this game, James performed well, he exploded 39 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Despite giving Westbrook the triple-double stats, James was clearly the lakers' mainstay, struggling to hold on when he was behind, keeping the offense threatening while constantly looking for teammates to pass, feeding shooter Munch to 20 points, and Cameron Anthony also had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Harden didn't disappoint the Nets, who contributed 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It can be said that this game is LeBron James and James Harden two "James" in the play, the Nets rely on role players to play better to win the game.
Such a game, while tragic, is not what the NBA wants to see. Without stars in place, NBA games will lose their appeal sooner or later.
