James's 37th birthday, the Lakers all over the world including fans are celebrating his birthday, and the Lakers are visiting Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies, the James effect has doubled the Grizzlies' home tickets, from the previous average of $84, directly to $172, this is James's appeal, the performance of James in the whole game did not disappoint all the fans who paid attention to him, the full field shot 8 three-pointers to get 37 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks of the comprehensive data, However, the Lakers were hit by the Grizzlies in the final quarter with a 21-7 offensive climax, reversing the game in one fell swoop, and the Lakers lost the game by 5 points.
Compared with losing the game, Lakers fans are more angry that no matter every star, now against the Lakers can find the state, either to create a record, or to break a new scoring high, the Grizzlies core Morant got 41 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, this is the second player to face James to get 40+ points, before it was Anthony, such a record made James very unhappy after the game, he said: Morant scored 41 points is very special. This is not the first time the Lakers have sent records for opponents, before Harden found the state in the Lakers game, against the Spurs let Diop get 30 points, against the Rockets, let Green get 24 points, against the Bulls, let DeRozan get 38 points, it can be said that the lakers have become a team that sends opponent records, fans jokingly called "record makers".
The Lakers just defeated the Rockets to end a 5-game losing streak, against the Grizzlies, originally many fans thought that the Lakers would continue to work hard and continue to get consecutive wins, James fulfilled his promise, facing the young players of the Grizzlies, James was unstoppable, plus Howard Town guarded the inside line, James gave up playing the center position, played small forwards, shot 8 three-pointers on the outside line, tied the career three-point record, played 38 minutes, scored 37 points, scored more than 30+ points in 6 consecutive games, and also created an NBA record. It's just that the Lakers have only won 1 in these 6 games, but they have suffered 5 losses. The last time the Lakers made 6 consecutive games to get 30+ points was Kobe Bryant, although James tried his best, but his teammates still did not give strength, the point difference was double, but they could not resist the Grizzlies' last quarter of the wave to take away the game. James tried his best, and the Lakers lost.
Wei Shao once again got a triple-double, this is the eighth time that Wei Shao has won triple-double data this season, played 40 minutes, shot 7 of 16, got 16 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, even if such comprehensive data, can not help James win the game of day and night, Wei Shao in the Lakers' position is more and more embarrassing, 8 times to get a triple double, the Lakers record 3 wins and 5 losses, the winning rate is less than half, in the history of the NBA Westbrook became the first in the history of the three-double data, the record is disproportionate.
What makes Wei Shao even more embarrassed is that at the end of the game, Wei Shao has more offensive opportunities, at the critical moment, Wei Shao quick attack, the Grizzlies have given up this attack, Wei Shao in the case of no one interfering, the upper basket is not hit, which makes Morant under the basket are confused, Wei Shao himself is also surprised, his eyes look at his hands, do not know where there is a problem, the last two rounds, the Grizzlies directly let go of Wei Shao's shot, the whole team defended James, Wei Shao's absolute big vacancy, His teammates also no longer believe in his ability to make a final decision at a critical moment. All this may be wei shao should think about what the reason is, the whole game 5 mistakes, two games there were 12 mistakes, and these two games against the opponents are young players, they can still control the number of mistakes, why Wei Shao can not think about their own problems.
The Lakers' loss is not terrible, the terrible thing is that they lost while also sending some records to the opponent, such a performance surprised James, but also let the fans feel that the Lakers this season do not always want to win the championship, advanced playoffs to say after the championship.
