The Lakers' game with the Grizzlies is held as scheduled! In this game, the Lakers want to win, even if it is not for 5 consecutive wins, but also to wash away the shame of being reversed before. Moreover, at this time, the Lakers are strong and strong, and everyone is full of confidence. However, the course of the game was not satisfactory. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers played quite well, able to find room to attack, and the defense was also online. But in the second quarter, the Lakers' offense suddenly went muted.
In the second quarter, the Lakers' generals seemed to have suddenly encountered freezing, especially the three scoring sources that the Lakers relied on, namely Westbrook, Munch, and Bradley. By the way, they're also the Lakers' starters. At the end of the half, Westbrook shot 8 times and hit 2 goals, including 1-of-0 three-point shooting, with 4 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block; Munch shot 8 times and hit 1 goal, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, with 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist; Bradley shot 8 times, hit 1 goal, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, and got 3 points, 1 assist and 1 steal. As you can see, the above three players made a total of 24 shots and only hit 4 goals. On three-pointers, they're only 2-of-7.
Such a performance is really unbearable. I don't know how this game is going, the Lakers' home basket is like putting a lid on these three players, no matter how you shoot, you can't shoot. In fact, a few of them have won a lot of empty positions, and James himself has passed a lot, but they just can't shoot, otherwise James's assists can increase a lot. The main score point is dumb, James can only come by himself, he ignores the fact that he kills the basket again and again, and constantly creates "2 +1", which looks like a surging and painful picture. James' scoring kept soaring, but he was too tired to play.
James is 37 years old, but he can still find his place on the court and maintain good efficiency. Other players in the Lakers should learn more about this. If you say that basketball talent, everyone is not much different, the shooting is not scored on the one hand is attributed to the feel, on the other hand is attributed to their own on-the-spot adaptability, if the feel is not good, you can completely change other ways. This game, the Lakers will pick this up. In addition to the players themselves, Vogel also has to reflect on himself.
So far this season, the Lakers' winning streak is still four consecutive wins. The Grizzlies are still obstacles that the Lakers can't cross. Not to mention, the Grizzlies are really tough, have won 9 consecutive wins, the future can be expected!
