The Lakers, who won 4 consecutive games, still failed to withstand the Grizzlies with 8 consecutive wins, and with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers replaced the main force in advance, but the Lakers bench once played 21-0, although it was still 119-127 to lose the game, but the bench played well. In this game, James efficiently got the all-around data of 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but the sluggish feel of his teammates caused the game point difference to be pulled apart, and it really did not move. Wei Shao was 2 of 12, and although there were no mistakes, his contribution was really limited.
The lake and the Grizzlies showdown, the first quarter James entered the state quickly, he got 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, but the Lakers could not take the lead, the two teams played 27 draws. Starting Munch, Bradley and Westbrook have been playing iron, and only substitute Tucker has scored 8 consecutive points, which is still a good contribution. By the second quarter, James was still very good, scoring 11 points, halftime is 23 points, but look at the Lakers' single quarter score, the second quarter of the team 25 points, a single quarter lost 13 points.
James really tried his best, and he tried to wake up the whole team with his own dunk in the third quarter, but the teammates were really too bad to stand up and help James. James scored 9 points in the third quarter, but the Lakers conceded as many as 42 points in a single quarter, completely lost the inside line, and faced the Grizzlies, they trailed by more than 20 points, really blown up.
James was still trying in the fourth quarter, but he alone could not change the trend of the game, And Vogel did not arrange for center Howard to appear until the second half of the third quarter, but it was too late, and the Lakers also replaced the main force in advance. The Lakers' benches still did not give up, Reeves and Ellington led the team to play 21-0, at one point chased only 7 points, although in the end they still lost, but at least saw the efforts of the bench. Looking at the Lakers' scoring distribution, James scored 35 points, 14 of 19, really efficient. But Wei Shao is 2 of 12, 6 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, although there are no mistakes, but such a contribution, is it worthy of his high salary?
Looking at Munch 3 of 13, this game did not find a feel, Bradley 10 of 2, this is also a downturn. In fact, their hand feels normal, but what about Wei Shao? What is the significance of the Lakers keeping him in this fight! Therefore, the Lakers should still make a decisive decision, perhaps the biggest problem now is Wei Shao, where can he go, or who will want him.
