On January 13, Beijing time, the Lakers lost to the Kings 116-125 in the NBA regular season! In this campaign, James got 34 points, 7 boards and 6 assists, and has done his best. But the Lakers suddenly collapsed in the third quarter, and the single quarter was broken 23-40. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, Wei Shao's poor performance and choice allowed the Lakers to finally swallow the bitter fruit of the loss. Wei Shao, can you really appear at the final critical moment?
In the first half of the campaign, the Lakers played smoothly, leading by 14 points at one point. But in the second half of the second quarter, the king began to catch up. The third quarter became a turning point, the Lakers defense was pierced, and the Kings rebounded by 13 points. In the last quarter, the Lakers began to chase points. In the final moments, James scored from the basket and the Lakers trailed 116-120. At this time, Wei Shao appeared! He held the ball on the outside and then shot straight out three-point misses. Turning back, the Kings' Metu hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers fell behind by seven points again, losing hope of a comeback.
In fact, the game progressed to the final stage of the fourth quarter, and an offensive round on the court was very telling. Munch and James played at the top of the arc and Westbrook waited for his chance at 45 degrees on the left. But Munch just doesn't pass wester. Judging by the effectiveness of the game, Munch was right not to give Westbrook a pass. Because then, James found a big vacancy for Westbrook, and as a result, Westbrook did not hit the three points. Maybe it can explain why the Lakers teammates don't trust him so much.
In the whole game, the Lakers' first high-paid 44.21 million Westbrook 14 of 2, three-point 5 0 only scored 8 points, far behind Reeves with a base salary of 930,000. Although he sent 12 assists and only 1 turnover, the poor choice at the key moment made the Lakers lose. On the last goal, James returned to the locker room directly at half-time, looking very frustrated.
Now Wei Shao's role in the Lakers' offensive end is really very embarrassing, from a tactical point of view, in the last moment, Wei Shao is not too necessary to stay on the court, because he dominates the ball too many mistakes, and already has a ball holding point like James, Wei Shao's shooting is extremely uncertain, to put it badly, the Lakers' last moment is like 4 to 5. Such a few Wei Shao, the Lakers still not hurry to give up?
