Some time ago, the Lakers were completely in chaos, and the big three teams that had ambitiously formed a double MVP in the offseason did not expect the effect of playing after the start of the game to be disappointing. Just two days ago, Wei Shao and James were subjected to a lot of insults, and even some fans made a rap for Wei Shao to complain about his very bad performance, and then James also stepped forward to take the responsibility for the loss on him, apologized to the fans and promised that the Lakers would become better. It is gratifying that after the promise, the Lakers soon completed the salted fish turnover when facing the strong team Jazz, and ended the previous decline with a hearty victory. However, in the just-concluded game, the Lakers once again made people question them.
In today's game, the Lakers sit at home to meet the challenge of the Eastern Fish Belly Pacers, whether this game can win, in fact, it is still more important for the Lakers, after all, the recent Vogel has fallen into the storm of the class, the Lakers players have been criticized by the outside world, so only by opening a new wave of winning streaks, there is hope to make the Lakers revitalize. The game started, as we thought, and the Lakers quickly opened up the situation through the outside, at one point shooting 8-of-16, and the point difference began to pull to double digits. However, the Pacers did not give up, and soon blossomed more, quickly biting the point difference, so that the half was able to control the situation and leave a foreshadowing for a reversal.
In the second half, the Lakers gradually began to collapse, to be honest, in the third quarter, the Pacers' offensive attack was really very fierce, if it were not for the melon that had just returned in the field, in the third quarter to stabilize the situation and give back step by step, the Lakers may have collapsed. This first quarter of the game, to my feelings, the Lakers really want to change, really want to return to the road to the championship and work hard. But in the second half, I quickly dispelled this idea, and seeing their performance on the field, I really didn't have any hope for the title. Friends who watch this game, see the performance of the Lakers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the third quarter, I believe that like my thoughts, there are only two big words - "very messy".
Anthony in addition to the three-point 5 shooting 0, in fact, the performance is also OK, after all, the score is also cut down in the stalemate stage, the result of the final quarter suddenly collapsed, it is really a melon comeback can not move the Lakers ah. Remember that it has been said before that Lakers coach Vogel sent out a wave of dismissal, but after winning the Jazz in the last game, it slightly slowed down the storm of Coach Wo's dismissal. But this time, against the Fish Belly Team in the East, the Lakers can actually be overturned with the lead, and play in a disorderly manner, and both offensive and defensive ends are like they can't find a home. Although this is not only Vogel's responsibility, but there must always be someone to carry the pot, the inner layer of the pipe is impossible to carry the pot, then Vogel is the scapegoat.
In addition, James's performance in this game, although it looks luxurious, 11 of 22 shots, cut 30 points, 12 boards and 5 assists of the super performance, but in fact, it is not as gorgeous as the book looks, and even should be back. For example, in the deadlock of the Lakers in the last quarter, James did not score several goals in a row, three points were missed in succession, and the ball was basically only in the hands of James in the last moment, so the game was directly buried in the end. Moreover, in the last 8 seconds, the Pacers led by 9 points, the two sides have not attacked, James also single-handedly took the ball into the upper basket, which is really a bit incomprehensible, these 2 points are meaningless, is James really as Kwame Brown said, the rest time has been looking at the data table, the last moment in order to get 30 points, blatantly to brush points?
In fact, in this game, Wei Shao really surprised us at the beginning, he seems to have begun to transform, and the three-point field also shot an efficient performance of 4 of 6. However, the three are separated, the middle shot and the layup are still the same as the subway, although the transition to the outside line is useless, if the basic offensive efficiency can not be improved, the Lakers are still difficult to open. This game, really makes people hard to say, more is the disappointment of the Lakers, if it is still this way of playing, this state, even if Davis returns, the Lakers will be the same as the opening period, can not be among the ranks of the championship team.
