Beijing time on January 3, the NBA Lakers sat at home to meet the Timberwolves, this time the Timberwolves missed D'Angelo Russell, Carl Anthony Downs, this team is in a residual state, the first quarter LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Munch cut 20 points, the Lakers got a 7-point lead, reed 8 shots in the second quarter to take 11 points + 6 rebounds, the Timberwolves will be behind the score to 2 points, the first half of the Timberwolves projection is very bad, Their three-pointers in the first 2 quarters were a combined 19-for-16-iron shooting, which was a key point for them to be behind.
In the second half, the Lakers' feel is very sluggish, of which the Westbrook data is the most embarrassing, he shot 4 irons in the third quarter, plus or minus -10, the Timberwolves overtook the Lakers by 3 points in the third quarter, and in the last quarter, Westbrook and Cameron Anthony cut 17 points, of which Wei Shao shot 2 shots, melons shot 4 shots 3 times, under these 2 powerful plays, the Lakers finally narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 5 points to win 2 consecutive wins, after half a month, the Lakers finally won a streak again, and in the process of these 2 consecutive wins, The 2 37-year-old veterans of the Lakers are really not old?
LeBron James and Cameron Anthony were also born in 1984, now they are all over 37 years old, in the game against the Timberwolves, although the last quarter of the Zhan Huang is relatively sluggish, but his first three quarters did support the situation, melon performance is the opposite of Zhan Huang, the first three quarters of the melon 6 shots 4 iron, the last quarter 4 shot 3, Zhan Huang supported the situation, melon at the key moment, the 2 37-year-old veterans played very critical, they all played their own shining point.
Zhan Huang played 39 minutes and 13 seconds in the whole game, Zhan Huang was the longest player in this game, Zhan Huang scored 26 points + 7 rebounds + 5 assists + 3 steals + 1 block on 7 of 15 shots, his plus-minus ranked third in the team, Melon played 28 minutes and 39 seconds, he scored 14 points on 5 of 10 shots, Melon was the player with the highest plus-minus value in this campaign, the data was very good, and more importantly, they played well in 2 consecutive wins!
During the Lakers' 2 consecutive wins, Zhan Huang shot 23 of 41 shots, 69 points + 21 rebounds + 9 assists + 5 steals + 3 blocks + shooting rate of 56%, melon 2 games total 21 shots 11, 30 points + 3 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal + 4 blocks + shooting rate of 52.3%, Zhan Huang + melon 2 games cut 99 points, in these 2 games the Lakers total net victory over the opponent 38 points, and Zhan Huang and melon 2 games of positive and negative values total +54, from the overall data, positive and negative values, Without the play of these two 37-year-old veterans, the Lakers are estimated to be unable to win 2 consecutive wins.
37-year-old players have played excellent performances in 2 consecutive games, as mentioned earlier, this is really somewhat amazing, the 2021 offseason Lakers trade came to Wei Shao, which led to their veterans more, which is a good thing and a bad thing, after all, experienced veterans are often difficult to maintain health, this is the key point of the Lakers' current record, this is also the key point that the Lakers need 37-year-old veterans to play excellent performances to win consecutively, I hope that zhan huang and melon can continue to play such excellent performances, right?
