On January 10, Beijing time, James bombed 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies 119-127 to stop four consecutive wins, 4 people slump, three turning points pointed to one person is difficult to blame.
James had 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists
At the beginning of the game, James entered excellent condition, including a three-pointer in a single quarter of 5 including a three-pointer to take 12 points, Westbrook although only scored 2 points on 1 of 5, but sent 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 0 turnovers, Tucker bench 4 of 3 contributed 8 points to become a surprise, the above three people maintained the hot state of the past 4 consecutive wins, the Lakers fought with the Grizzlies in the first quarter to 27-27 draw, from the second quarter, the game took a turn.
James was super hard to squeeze three points
Bane three-pointers, layups, three-pointers, continue to break through, when one person scored 8 points in a row, James broke through, Tucker helped Reeves layup, James helped Ariza's three-pointer and hit the second three-pointer, the Lakers could also respond; the Grizzlies hit two more three-pointers, James helped Bradley's three-pointer and his own whistle three-pointer, and he could also bite the score at 43-48, but there were still 4 minutes and 44 seconds left in the second quarter when the turning point came, James went off, And anthony played the fifth place on the bench!
Jackson beats Anthony and Ariza, just to play
During the Lakers' five-game losing streak, James played the Fifth position, Aniston and Ariza substituted; after the Lakers won four consecutive games, James played the Fifth position, Howard substituted, the effect was self-evident, so the next 4 minutes: Williams made two layups, Tillman made a layup, Anderson threw a shot, Jackson made a basket, a European step layup, Anderson threw a 2+1 after Jackson's basket, and the Grizzlies a wave of 17-9 offensive and defensive flow to freeze the half-time score at 65-52.
The turning point of the first half, the Grizzlies hit the paint area 8 times in the last 4 minutes, the Lakers simply could not resist, the paint score was 32-20, and the two teams formed a 13-point difference.
Easy side to fight again, we did not wait for Vogel's adjustment, Howard still did not play, so the picture on the court, Anderson made a basket, Morant made two fouls, Bane followed a three-point after sending an empty pick, Morant smashed, the Grizzlies 73-56 continue to extend the lead, say a "point" detail:
Morant smashed the buckle
Any team that plays a five-point lineup, provided they have enough stable three-point snipers and the outside line can make up for the inside line at any time on the defensive end, and the Lakers are 17 points behind: Bradley 1 of 5 three-pointers, Anthony 2 of 0, Westbrook and Reeves 1 of 0 each, the Lakers can maintain 8 of 19 three-pointers, James 3 of 3, Tucker 3 of 2, two efficient. Since the team's shooters are collectively sluggish and the inside line has suffered a serious loss, Vogel should be sent to Howard after the suspension to try to change the status quo.
Timeout back Vogel continued to use the starting five, consequences, Bane mid-range and three points, Morant made two fouls, Anderson layup, Jackson hooked, Anderson continued to slow down to the basket, Morant re-made two fouls, 88-64 Grizzlies have led by 24 points, even if James re-dunked, broke through 2+1, it is powerless to return to heaven.
James partition jackson moment
Note that Howard is not unable to play, the third quarter of the game still has 4 minutes and 44 seconds to play the Warcraft, although 3 points and 2 rebounds can not change the situation, but the Lakers' interior offensive and defensive ends are finally guaranteed.
At this point, looking at the Lakers' fiasco in this game, James played a difficult savior efficiently, three turning points:
Hit by 17-9 in the final 4:44 of the second quarter, James didn't play Howard on the break.
Howard still didn't get in at the start of the third quarter, and at 2 minutes and 14 seconds, he was hit by another wave of 8-4, trailing by 17 points 56-73.
After three minutes of the timeout, howard did not come to him, and he was again played with a 15-8 small climax 64-88 and fell behind by 24 points.
Reflected in the data end: the Lakers at that time rebounded 26-37 lost 11; the inside score score of 30-42 lost 12 points, which is Bradley, Munch, Anthony and Westbrook, 35 shots only 8, three-pointers 11 of 2, four people collective slump outside, the Lakers directly collapsed the main reason, when the outside line downturn, Vogel did not use Howard, the previous team inside and outside the line completely collapsed.
