On January 16, the Nuggets beat the Lakers 133-96 at home. The Purple and Gold Lost by 37 points, suffering one of the worst losses of the season, with a previous maximum loss of 28 points. James had 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. The famous Jenhei Skipper Velez did not miss the opportunity of Black James, and he slammed James defensively.
LeBron's Lakers just suffered their worst loss of the season, losing to the Nuggets by 37 points. It's hard to believe that the Lakers ranked first in defensive efficiency last season and 17th this season. James, whose defensive win-win contribution rate is 200 percent away, is now all offense and no defense. Velez wrote.
The Lakers' defense this season has been really poor, with the Nuggets scoring 133 points, shooting 52.2 percent from the field, shooting 57.5 percent from three-point range, shooting 23-of-40 from three-point range and 16-of-17 from the free throw line. The Nuggets are like playing a training game.
The Lakers have averaged 113.3 points per game this season, the third-most conceded in the league. James' defensive efficiency of 112.5 this season is indeed not good.
However, this is not a problem for James alone. The Lakers mainly play a small lineup, allowing James to play center, the shortcomings in height are difficult to make up, and the increase in opponents' scores is inevitable.
In this game, the Lakers were hung by the Nuggets. The Nuggets posted the same frame of Jokic and James, canvassing for Jokic's All-Stars, and wrote: "World's Best Player and LeBron James #尼科拉 - Jokic #NBA All-Star." ”
Such a practice is also in the heart of laker Zhan Huang. Zhan Huang is no longer the best player in the active game? Jokic, who was the regular season MVP last season, doesn't seem to get enough respect. However, with Murray consistently absent and Porter reimbursed for the season, Jokic carried the team forward. Jokic interpreted his worth, and in this game, Jokic played a triple-double in the third quarter.
