The Lakers finally won, facing the Rockets at the bottom of the West, the Lakers under the leadership of James, Westbrook, Anthony, Munch and won by 9 points, ending a 5-game losing streak, compared to the win or loss of the game, the Lakers' performance in this game is still worth summarizing.
From the perspective of the whole field, the Rockets completely gave up relaxing, the whole team entered the offensive mode, and the Lakers also changed the normal, gave up the center lineup, Tucker Jr. readjusted to the bench, using James to play the center, Johnson to play the big forward, Munch to play the small forward, Bradley scoring guard, Westbrook to control the ball, the advantage of this lineup is that the offensive speed is accelerated, and the defense is a mess, the Rockets tactics use Wood to open the situation, and then use the outside shooters to constantly put pressure on the Lakers' inside and outside defense, the best aspect of the Lakers is, The team feels very good, whether it is Munch who started, or Anthony, who came off the bench after 4 minutes of the first quarter, their mid-range shots and three-pointers Lakers withstood the pressure.
In the second half, the tactics that the Lakers began to use were Wei Shao's attack with the ball, but the effect received was very low, coupled with Wei Shao's continuous mistakes, so that the Lakers' attack once stopped, the Rockets seized the opportunity to play a wave of offensive climax, the Lakers continued to use the previous tactics after the suspension, James played a single or with the ball to break, you can score by yourself, you can also pass the outside shooter, the Lakers' tactics today are very similar to James's tactics in the Cavaliers before, James is the core of the offense, with the outside shooter, compared to the "one-star four shots" tactics, The difference is that Wei Shao's position, due to the lack of long-range shooting ability, Wei Shao has long become a player in the defensive interior line, there is no crowded interior line, and Wei Shao's breakthrough advantage is played to the extreme.
In the key fourth quarter, James fulfilled his previous promise and personally led the Lakers to victory, he scored three consecutive interior breakthroughs, played a long-lost domineering, plus Anthony's three points, the Lakers in the last quarter of more than 1 minute, using star tactics, directly take the game away, such a star play, even if the Rockets 7 people scored in doubles, still can not withstand the Lakers' offense, not that they played well enough, but their lack of core players became a key factor in the loss.
This game the Lakers broke a number of records, one, Westbrook and James got a triple-double at the same time, James got 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Westbrook got 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, this is the third time the Lakers opponent has a combination to get a triple-double at the same time, once in 18 Years James and Ball got a triple-double, once in 82 Years Magic Johnson and Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar got a triple-double at the same time, in the game, Westbrook deliberately put the rebound into James' hands in order to be able to rebound in doubles, It can be seen from here that in terms of data, Wei Shao has a very sensitive pursuit.
Second, James scored 30+ points in 5 consecutive games, scored 32 points in this game, James shot 11 of 19 shots, very efficient, the previous 4 games, the Lakers suffered a losing streak, James tried his best to win, and now the whole team broke out and finally found a long-lost victory. Third: James broke the record in scoring in history, with 32 points in this game, James's career total scores reached 36001, becoming the third and youngest player in NBA history to accomplish such an achievement. Fourth: James became the first player in NBA history to achieve 36,000 points, 9,000 rebounds and 9,000 assists, and fifth: James scored 172 points in five games, equaling Jordan's record of five consecutive games after the age of 36. Sixth, James spent 23 games, 13 of which scored more than 30 points, tied for first place in the league with Curry, Durant and Trae Young. From these records, it can be seen that James has a new record in each game, which also indirectly shows his strength.
In addition, the Lakers also have a problem trouble, that is, Wei Shao's mistakes, in the face of weak brigades, Wei Shao has 7 mistakes, this season Wei Shao averaged 4.7 mistakes per game, although ranked after Harden, but his every mistake makes the team one point less chance of winning, in this game, Wei Shao has more low-level mistakes such as kicking the ball out of bounds when dribbling, for a superstar, these small problems should be corrected in time, so that the Lakers can really get back on track.
