On January 1, the Lakers finally swept away the recent decline at home in the NBA regular season, beating the Blazers 139-106 and sending their opponents four consecutive losses. The Lakers were even more aggressive in the game, scoring 43 points in the first quarter, setting a single-quarter high under the leadership of James and Anthony. James even exploded 27 points and 10 rebounds in the first half, at least 25+10 in the first two quarters of his career; the Lakers in the second half withstood the impact of the Blazers and successfully won. The last time the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies was blamed by the outside world, Wei Shao and James had mistakes, this game against the Blazers, they completed the rise, James cut 43 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, Wei Shao once again won a triple-double, completely achieved a rebound.
At the same time, the Lakers also have a milestone moment, that is, the first time they wear the city version of the jersey to win the season, before they wore the city version of the jersey 4 times, all of them were at home, and all lost, including:
November 13, 83:107 Timberwolves;
November 16, 103:121 Bull;
December 4, 115:119 Clippers;
On December 24, at home 110:138 Spurs;
It can be seen that as long as the Lakers wear the city version of the jersey, they all lose, with a net loss of 74 points in 4 games, and an average loss of 18.5 points per game, which can be said to be a state of rout. This also makes many fans complain that the Lakers in the season are unlucky to wear this urban version of the player.
To know that this is the city version of the jersey is of special significance, mainly blue, the number and team name is white, paying tribute to the Minneapolis era in 1950, the font is a tribute to the 1960s, the Lakers name on the chest is a tribute to the 1970s, the "Lakers Dynasty" printed under the jersey is very meaningful, but what was not expected is that the Lakers were 4 games lost when they wore this jersey before.
Fortunately, today met the Blazers who are also in trouble, the Lakers seized the opportunity, under the leadership of James, Wei Shao and Wei Shao, successfully won the victory, and finally won the game for the first time this season in the city version of the jersey, it is indeed too difficult.
Also look forward to the next Performance of the Lakers, the previous loss to the Grizzlies is indeed very demoralizing, reversed by the opponent, and now ends 2021 with a win (Los Angeles time is still December 31, 2021), which is also very good, and I hope that the Lakers in 2022 can have good luck.
