On December 30, Beijing time, the Lakers led by up to 14 points, and were overturned by the tenacious counterattack of the Grizzlies Youth Army, and they finally regretted losing by 5 points. The Lakers have only 1 win and 6 losses in the last 7 games, only beating the Rockets at the bottom of the West, and the Lakers have lost 8-29 free throws 21 times, and the lack of aggression has become the biggest cause of loss.
When the Lakers suffered a wave of 5 consecutive losses before, the Lakers who fell to the bottom of the group were ridiculed, and it was also the longest losing streak record of the team that equaled James's career. Fortunately, in the last game against the Rockets at the bottom of the West, with james's 30+ triple-doubles and Westbrook's 20+ triple-doubles data, the Lakers finally narrowly defeated the Rockets to end the losing streak.
Now facing a three-point game of the season with the Grizzlies, James entered the state of vitality full card early, once leading the Lakers to a 14-point lead. It's just that the Lakers can't stop Morant's crazy slashing attack, and the Grizzlies frantically counter-attack to chase the score and surpass the score. In the final stage of the final quarter, the Lakers were crushed by a wave of 21-9 offensive attacks by the Grizzlies, and it was also a regrettable loss.
Throughout the game, the Lakers only had 8 free throws, and the aggressiveness was seriously insufficient, including James 3 of 3 free throws, Howard 4 of 2 of 4, Munch 1 of 1, and none of the rest of the players had any free throws, setting a record for the Lakers' lowest number of free throws in a single game this season.
In contrast, the Grizzlies frantically won 29 free throws, of which Morant alone made 9 of 12 free throws, and he alone destroyed the Lakers. The Lakers lost 21 free throws and scored 18 points less on the free throws, which is naturally the biggest cause of the Lakers' loss.
When the Lakers recently lost 7-6, they are still in crisis, in the case of the thick eyebrow brother has not yet returned from injury, how the Lakers should adjust, has become their biggest problem.
