After a three-game losing streak and a hasty road trip, the Lakers, who desperately need a win, returned home and ushered in the challenge of the powerful Jazz.
In terms of the Lakers, melon + thick eyebrow brother is absent, and this campaign faces the Jazz team that ranks in the top three in the West, which will undoubtedly face a huge challenge for the Lakers who lack major generals.
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, the main players are pouring out, Mitchell is in a hot state, and the Jazz are also ready to go this game, ready to do a big job on the road, and win 2 consecutive wins!
However, after four quarters of fighting, with a wave of 13-5 scoring climax, the Lakers, who played at home, although in the first half, once overpowered the Jazz and occupied the initiative on the court.
But after returning from the second half, Mitchell + Gobert + Ingles in the third quarter successively sent out a wave of 12-2 counterattacks, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
Fortunately, in the final finale, James + Stanley Johnson suddenly ushered in an outbreak, leading the Lakers to return a wave of 14-2 offensive frenzy.
Coupled with the icing on the cake of Wei Shao, the full-court rushed to score the key 2+1, completely ending the suspense of the game, and the collapsed Jazz team could only lose.
The Lakers, who finally withstood the pressure, also defeated the Jazz at home with a 101-95 upset, ending the losing streak strongly, and also staged a wonderful reversal on the following grams!
Playing at home in this game, the Lakers swept away the downturn during the losing streak, playing a team performance of 5 people scoring in double figures and all the staff.
In the case of Munch + Bradley + Horton Tucker + Howard and other main players, each performing their own duties, the two core James + Westbrook, and the play of the surprise soldier Stanley Johnson, is particularly critical!
In this game, James attacked and defended well, starting 35 minutes, shooting 9 of 20 from the middle and outside the line and hitting 3 three-pointers, bombing a game-high 25 points, plus 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Not only has he gained something on the offensive end, James' work in tandem teams this campaign has also helped the Lakers play a smooth offense and successfully affected the trend of the game.
In addition, although it has been controversial and criticized, as the team's starting point guard, the performance of Westbrook in this game also played a crucial role.
This campaign won up to expectations, playing 26 minutes, delivering 15 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists, and in the game, he also staged a good play of the gap gobert, successfully completed the redemption!
Of course, the Lakers were able to complete a comeback in this game, beating the Jazz in a cold way, and the performance of The Miracle Soldier Stanley Johnson on the bench was also indispensable.
In this campaign, Stanley Johnson was appointed to play 22 minutes off the bench, shooting nearly 80% of the time from 7 of 9 shots, and contributed 15 points + 5 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks.
And his key performance in the last quarter, riding alone to score 10 points, not only once became a difficult existence for the Jazz team, successfully disrupted the opponent's defensive rhythm and deployment, but also won the game for the Lakers, made a great contribution!
And rationally speaking, considering the performance of Stanley Johnson in the short-term contract, for the Lakers who are in the process of employment, the team management may indeed consider signing a formal contract with Stanley Johnson!
On the other hand, on the Jazz side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and finally lost by 6 points, and the performance of the away game was obviously still to be examined.
After all, in the case of Gobert + Conley playing well, scoring 19 +16+1+3 and 20+1+4 respectively, the performance of the two main players Mitchell + Bojan in this game is indeed to blame!
Mitchell was slightly sluggish, starting 36 minutes, 6 of 19 shots, not to mention the poor hand, the outside three-point shot was 8 shots and 0 shots completely lost the crosshairs, and there were as many as 4 personal mistakes.
Coupled with Bojan being strictly guarded, only 1 of 9 shots in the whole game, 4 shots in 4 of three-pointers and 0 in the delay in opening the situation, facing the Lakers with all the soldiers, the performance of the Jazz team in this campaign is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory!
More importantly, after losing to the Lakers in this game, the Jazz's regular season record also came to 29 wins and 15 losses, and the ranking was officially overtaken by the Grizzlies and fell to fourth in the West.
Obviously, in the next fierce ranking battle, the prospects and situation of the Jazz team that are attacked on their backs have also reached a point where they are not optimistic!
