Playing the Grizzlies on Ariza as the fifth position, this choice can not be said to be wise, but it seems a bit stupid! Good guys, what kind of team are the Grizzlies? Morant, nicknamed the dunk boy, I'm afraid you don't have a big center inside, no big center, who is going to go? Jaren Jackson Jr., who is this? Famous physical fitness maniac, not a big center, he almost didn't like to die, how violent he played, slashed 21 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks! Like to play super five small is it, hot pot let you eat enough. Anyway, you can't understand, is the Lakers' coaching staff blinded by the recent four consecutive wins, do you really think you can not have a center?
The Grizzlies are the most impactful team in the league, especially the guard line led by Morant, almost all of them are good at breaking through, especially Morant himself, you don't have a big center, he can break through more comfortably, this game is 12 free throws in a single game, the Lakers no one can withstand this young man's sudden dunk! The most important thing is that the lakers' age problem is vividly reflected in this scene! The Grizzlies are a team that can defend and is also very capable of attacking, they rely on Morant but do not rely on Morant, everyone on the team is an offensive player, the Lakers have problems with defense at this time!
It is unable to withstand the impact pressure brought by the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies seem to be making fouls in the whole game, the whole team has a total of 32 free throw opportunities, even if their free throw efficiency is very average, but the Lakers really can't stand this kind of young people's fist-to-flesh play! As a fan, in fact, there are some unwilling for old Zhan. Especially at the beginning of the third quarter, when the Lakers' point difference fell behind to 22 points, James broke through to the basket alone to dunk Jaren Jackson Jr., that scene was very pale, and the Lakers only James was scoring!
The starting game was completely defended, except for James, who scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on 14-of-19 shooting, none of the remaining four starters could score in double figures. Wei Shao played 26 minutes without a single mistake, but only 2 of 12 only 6 points into the account, Munch was also locked up 13 of 3 only 7 points, Bradley 10 of 2 angrily cut 7 points, Stanley Johnson 4 of 1 angrily cut 2 points, the team's four starters combined score is not as much as the old Zhan alone, how the Lakers won, after the third quarter lost 24 points, there is no hope of any reversal.
It is true that the Lakers bench in the last quarter also played the main force of the Grizzlies back, but in fact, there was no suspense when the game was played in two and a half quarters, and the starting core of the Grizzlies side was ready to punch in the third quarter, but the Lakers went crazy in the last quarter, but even if the Grizzlies let the Lakers chase 16 points, the ball was already lost early. Again, the Lakers' previous four consecutive wins were very gratifying, but the gold content was indeed not so high, and the intensity of the team against them was not so high. And in the face of the Grizzlies, this strong team in the league, the lakers' drawbacks have been shown, but they can't play, James is to cut 40 points today is not helpful!
