Today's NBA regular season ended a focus battle, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 96-133, swallowing a three-game losing streak. The Lakers trailed by a maximum of 42 points in this game, and swallowed a 37-point fiasco. Jokic won a triple-double in three quarters, and most of the last quarter was reduced to garbage time. In addition to Jokic's triple-double, Hyland and Jeff Green also performed well. James scored 25 points and 9 rebounds, and Westbrook scored 19 points in this campaign, shooting 7 of 15 from the field, shooting a significant improvement in shooting, and he also had a verbal conflict with Gordon in the second half. In this way, the Lakers lost in the competition with direct competitors, which is very regrettable.
It is worth mentioning that in the past 1 month, the Lakers have faced teams with a winning rate of more than 50% 6 times, the record is all defeated, the Nuggets are also the main competitors of the Lakers, and the Lakers have lost again.
In an interview after the game, Lakers coach Vogel said that yesterday's "full of energy" practice defense, today's big loss, which is "very frustrating.". The Lakers must do better in "overcoming" adversity.
Speaking about today's dribble jump shot against the Nuggets with an embarrassing 18-on-2 shooting percentage, Vogel said: "We didn't attack the paint like we needed. ”
The Lakers' poor performance has also been attacked by reporters: this Lakers season is reminiscent of the last years of Bryant's career. The team has no direction, and the highlight of every game is James surpassing various records. Hopefully there will be some positive progress in the second half of the season as it's brutal.
Some people rejoiced and some people were sad, the big victory of the Nuggets was very happy, after the game, the Nuggets pushed out the same frame picture of Jokic and James, canvassed for The Jokic All-Star, and wrote: "The world's best player and LeBron James #尼科拉 - Jokic #NBA All-Star"
For the Lakers, the performance during this period is indeed unsatisfactory, first Westbrook has been in a continuous slump, and the team has lost. Now that Wei Shao has just improved, he still can't stop the team's losing streak. James' consecutive empty cuts in the game are indeed a pity. There is still a period of time before the comeback of the thick eyebrow brother at the end of the month, and then we are also looking forward to Vogel's adjustment, and strive to lead the Lakers to end the losing streak as soon as possible and sweep away the recent decline.
