The Lakers are so miserable! After a 96-133 defeat to the Nuggets, the Lakers have suffered three straight losses. Some time ago, the Lakers once lost 5-4, and many fans felt that the Lakers were going to take off. I didn't expect a wave of three consecutive defeats, and pulled the dream to reality!
Realistically speaking, the Lakers' previous record was good, and it was really too weak for the opponent. According to statistics, the Lakers have not won a team with a winning rate of more than 50% this month, and the last time they won more than 50% of the team was against the Lone Rangers who missed Doncic on December 16 last year. Before the Nets were defeated, now it seems that the Lakers have more than enough!
Against the Nuggets, the Lakers were also unlucky. The Nuggets shot too accurately today! Of course, on the other hand, the Lakers' defense in this game is too pulled! The fiasco to the Nuggets can no longer let Westbrook carry the pot! Wei Shao played 26 minutes in this game, shooting 7 of 15 three-pointers and shooting 1 of 2, with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course, Wei Shao's plus-minus is a little lower, only -11!
James did his best in this game too! James played 31 minutes in the game, shooting 9-of-23, including 2-of-8 three-pointers, taking the Lakers' team-high 25 points and stealing the Lakers' team-high 9 rebounds. The Lakers are such a big defeat, how can the famous Zhan Hei let go? After the Lakers' crushing defeat to the Nuggets, the famous Zhan Hei spoke out on his personal social media! Skip said: "James' Lakers just suffered their worst loss of the season, losing to the Nuggets by 37 points in Denver. It's hard to believe that the Lakers ranked first in defensive efficiency last year and 17th this season. James, whose defensive victory contribution (Win Share) is in the top 200, is now all offensive and not defensive. ”
James' defense of this game is indeed a little worse, but it is too much to say that there is no defense! After all, James is this age, you let him fight hard at both ends of the attack and defense, and the physical strength can't stand it! Lakers head coach Vogel is also true, do not give James a break, the playing time is not controlled at all!
Take the game against the Nuggets, the Lakers are 30 points behind the small, the overall state of the Lakers is not good, what else do you put James on the court? Is this trying to exhaust James? Is it necessary to have James play another 4 minutes in the 4th quarter? Vogel, did you let James rest badly?
