Today's NBA regular season ended a focus battle, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 101-95 at home, and the Lakers, who led by 6 points in the first half, nearly collapsed in the third quarter, and were won by 12 points by the opponent in a single quarter. Fortunately, in the last quarter, bench Benchley Johnson stood up and scored consecutive points, James also performed well, Westbrook played a key 2+1, and the Lakers successfully won the victory. James had 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, still fairly stable. Although Wei Shao's 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists data is not eye-catching, but the first half of the gap gobert is quite domineering, and he also scored key goals in the final quarter. Stanley Johnson scored 15 points, including 10 in the final quarter, and was instrumental in the Lakers' win.
In this way, the Lakers ended the recent 3 consecutive losses, it is not easy, James continues to be in good shape, Wei Shao also proved himself at a critical moment, facing a team ranked higher than himself, the Lakers won at home and swept away the recent decline. After more than a month, the Lakers finally beat a team with a winning percentage of more than 50%.
There are also foreign media ridicule, saying: Since James issued an apology and promise, the Lakers remain undefeated.
James didn't give an interview after the last game with a 37-point loss to the Nuggets, and the next day an apology and promise will get better, and it's clear that today's James delivered on his promise, cutting 25 points, 7 boards and 7 assists, leading the team to beat the Jazz.
At the same time, James has at least 25 points and 5 rebounds in 14 consecutive games and has shot 1+ three-pointer, the longest record in NBA history.
James has scored the highest points in the last 14 Lakers games, and in the past 25 seasons, only Kobe Bryant and O'Neal have done it.
On the offensive end against Gobert, Stanley said after the game: "I think if you've watched the last few years, some teams have successfully played Gobert with small players. He also said that James wanted to play this confrontation himself, reflecting high emotional intelligence.
Also looking forward to the next performance of the Lakers, it is very important to end the 3-game losing streak to stop the decline. But what to see is that it is close to collapse in the third quarter, and it is important to note that this season is not the first time. So I also look forward to seeing Vogel's next adjustment and trying to get back on track as soon as possible.
