The Lakers finally won, ending the team's 5-game losing streak.
In this game, the summary of high emotional intelligence is: playing chess against the opponent is extremely intense; the summary of low emotional intelligence is: playing rockets is hard, it is really rookie pecking at each other.
As for how to describe it, it depends on your preferences.
But the game can be described by these two rounds. The first round was the first quarter of the game, and James staged three wonderful passes in one attack, but his teammates failed to score.
First in the counterattack James passed to find the bottom corner of Bradley, he shot out of the open position, the Lakers grabbed the rebound in the front court, James sent a wonderful pass again, Munch under the basket directly on the basket but was hated, Bradley got the rebound to James, James immediately passed to the outside Stanley Johnson, who was deflected out of the empty three-point position again.
The Lakers ultimately failed to score in this round, and by the next round, James was transported to a 45-degree angle to shoot a three-point shot directly.
The other round took place in the second quarter of the game, when the Lakers and Rockets teamed up to stage an offensive and defensive battle in 20 seconds.
In these 20 seconds, first the Rockets layup was covered by Anthony, Wei Shao jumped up and the pass was directly cut off by Green, the Rockets burst into the box and wanted to make a stormy back pass, the result was that the ball was directly thrown in Anthony's face, Tucker took the ball and immediately went to the basket, but the person threw it out but failed to make a layup.
Although there are such "five big 囧" moments, of course, there are also more wonderful moments. For example, in the last minute, James and Westbrook successfully blocked and dismantled the connection three times in a row, and finally helped the team seal the victory.
It is also because of the last three wonderful passes that Wei Shao achieved a triple-double in this game. Westbrook also reciprocated, and in the final defensive link, he gave the rebound to James, who also reached a triple-double. After that, James took another defensive rebound, which was an insurance for the triple-double.
This is also the first time since the two joined forces to cut a triple-double on the same court, and the last time two Lakers players played a triple-double was created by James and Ball.
The Lakers have only seen three triple-doubles in the history of the lakers, and the only time there was no James involved was the 1982 combination of Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson.
In this game, James scored 32 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 11-of-19 shooting; Westbrook scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals on 10-of-17 shooting. It was also the first pair in Lakers history since Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson in 1982 to score a triple-double on at least 50 percent shooting.
As for why the last moment was the blocking of James and Westbrook, it is because in this game, James became the Lakers' starting center. The game was the Lakers' 19th starting lineup of the season, with players playing Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, Stanley Johnson and James.
Acting coach Fitzdale said: "LeBron's plus-minus when he played 5 is very exaggerated, tonight against the Rockets, this is a good time for him to play center. ”
James himself said: "I've never played center before, I've always been playing wing or possession, my little body is too thin to play center even as a kid. ”
Well, let him load it again. But from the front line to the point guard, and then to the center now, it can be seen that James is fighting in order to win.
It has to be said that as a veteran who has played for 19 seasons, James is still refreshing the fans' perception of him, and in the last 5 games, he can average 34.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks, shooting 58.2%.
In the past five games, James has scored a combined 172 points, equaling the record set by Jordan (nearly 38 years old) in January 2001 for a player over the age of 36 who scored five totals.
After today's game, James's career total score reached 36,000 points, James is two days away from his 37th birthday, he became the youngest Mr. 36,000 points in history, ranking in the top two in the all-time total score list are Malone (36928) and Abdul-Jabbar (38387).
It is worth mentioning that starting from 1000 points, every youngest thousand point record belongs to James.
As for Westbrook, today's performance was already outstanding, with the exception of a dribble out of bounds and a shot that hit the top edge of a rebound. On 10-of-17 shooting, he had 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. So when the whole world was in Hei Wei Shao, finally someone stood up to help Wei Shao speak.
Anthony Walker said: "I think Westbrook is good, the problem is that during the Lakers' five-game losing streak, Westbrook's problems were amplified late in the game, he can play his own style, but he has to reflect on his decision-making and poor three-point shooting later in the game, he is not the reason for the Lakers' 16-18 losses." ”
On the other hand, Curry also ushered in his own career record night. That night, Curry reached a career record of 3,000 three-pointers.
Before today's game, Curry was only one goal away from 3,000 three-pointers, but he had no targets today. It wasn't until 3 seconds left in the third quarter that Curry quickly shot his first three-point shot of the game when he ran out of the slot, and it was this three-pointer that brought Curry's career three-point shots to 3,000, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve this achievement.
But before that, Curry and the Warriors were in too much of a slump.
Today's dream was absent from the game due to the trigger of the league's health and safety agreement, the team's defensive core and organizational center were gone, and the Warriors looked quite uncomfortable. The team scored 16 points in the first quarter, 20 points in the second quarter, and only 36 points in the halftime. Even the easiest free throw to score, the Warriors are 4-of-14, shooting as low as 28.6 percent.
As far as the free throw is concerned, it is almost time to break the rookie Cumming's defense. First 4 free throws missed, and then Cuminga was anxious, but the harder he tried, the worse the effect, the defensive end frequently made mistakes and was caught by the Nuggets, who took advantage of the half-time blast for 60 points, leading by 24 points.
Cuminga's play is only a symptom, and the real reason is Curry. In particular, Curry scored 2 points on 1-of-6 shooting, plus 4 turnovers. It's hard to imagine how thick the material would be in today's conference room if it were Westbrook and Harden.
I feel that the best way to prevent Curry is to give him some large and small records for him to worry about, so that the Warriors' state will be more or less affected.
But today's Warriors Nuggets can be described as playing a good half-time goal. In the third quarter, the Warriors offense did not pick up, and only scored 25 points. But the Nuggets suddenly lost power and scored only 14 points in a single quarter, which also brought the game back to the rhythm of being able to chase points.
Since shooting three points at the end of the third quarter to create a record, Curry seems to have opened the second pulse of Ren Dou, scoring 15 points in a single quarter with a sudden belt, shooting 4 three-pointers, and once saw the opportunity to reverse.
In the penultimate round of the game, 10 seconds before the end of the game, the Nuggets led the Warriors 88-86. The Warriors didn't ask for a timeout, they opted to advance from the backcourt. Curry gave the ball to Porter after halfway through and then ran to the top of the arc at 45 degrees on the right.
Potter rushed into the box and passed to Cuminga under the basket, but Cuminga was young after all, and was covered by Mr. Joe with a strong hat.
Don't look at the teacher about 22 points, 18 boards, 5 assists and 4 breaks in the account, but there were also up to 8 mistakes, including several mistakes that almost buried the victory, fortunately, the final victory hat redeemed himself.
In the last 2.2 seconds, the Warriors had the opportunity to equalize, but Curry encountered the strict defense of Nuggets players such as Rivers Jr., did not run out of the right opportunity, and the opportunity to draw the ball could only be handed over to Iguodala. The latter was deflected by three points, and the Warriors had no choice but to lose.
Malone said after the game: "The team's plan is not to let Curry get the ball. "It seems that in this round, the Nuggets' execution is better.
The Warriors' 86 points across the team also set a new season low.
At this moment, Chao Meng may be holding red wine in one hand, dialing Curry's phone with the other hand, laughing and shouting: "You need me too much!" ”
Forever Young！ Tomorrow morning at 8:15 a.m., let's wish Lao Zhan a happy 37th birthday
