In a focus battle of the NBA regular season that ended, the Los Angeles Lakers lost at home to the visiting Grizzlies 119:127, so that the Grizzlies ended the Lakers' four-game winning streak and won nine consecutive games. From the score point of view, the Lakers did not lose much, but in fact the Lakers can be called a fiasco, because in the final quarter, the Lakers fell behind by nearly 30 points, and then the Grizzlies replaced a large number of substitute players, and as a result, Ellington and Reeves joined forces to play a 21-0 offensive wave of the Grizzlies, narrowing the point difference to single digits.
In the Starting Lineup of the Lakers in this game, except for James (14 of 19 shots, scoring a game-high score of 35 points), the feel is very bad, Westbrook only hit 2 shots in 12 shots, Bradley hit 2 shots in 10 shots, and Munch, who has been in hot form recently, also feels cold, hitting only 3 times in 13 shots. In the starting five Tigers, in addition to James scoring 35 points, the total score of the other four players is only 22 points, an average of less than 6 points per person, in this case, the Lakers want to win is simply impossible.
In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies quickly occupied the initiative on the court, but James quickly stood up, he cut points consecutively to help the Lakers catch up with the score, the first half of the second quarter the two sides played against each other, the score was once very glue, but in the second half of the Lakers suddenly lost power, they fell into a long scoring drought, the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to establish a double-digit lead at the end of the half. In the third quarter, the Grizzlies continued to march all the way, the point difference ran to 30 points, and the Lakers side, although James has always had a stable output, but the two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, the Grizzlies in the last quarter of the big score lead the Grizzlies early to close the army, and the final game is not any suspense.
It's worth noting that the Lakers' bench players still played quite well in the fourth quarter, and a 21-0 shockwave made the Grizzlies break out in a cold sweat. After the game, James did not turn his head and leave the court as usual, and he has been standing on the sidelines and constantly applauding the substitute players, and he is reluctant to leave, which shows that James still recognizes the performance of these substitute players. Standing next to James, the thick eyebrows watching the game were sad, and they left the court silently with their heads bowed. I have to say that in the days when the thick eyebrows were absent, Wei Shao was not able to stand up to help James, but dragged the team's hind legs.
