In an NBA game that ended earlier, the Lakers rushed to challenge the Heat on the road. At the beginning of the game, the Lakers were caught in a magic obstacle and could not open the situation for a long time, while the Heat relied on fierce defense to seize the opportunity. After the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind. After that, the Lakers' offense and defense did not improve, and the point difference was widened a little. By the fourth quarter, the Lakers began to wake up, relying on effective offense and high-quality defense to force the score. With 1 minute left, the Lakers trailed by just four points. Unfortunately, the Lakers made mistakes in retrospect, and the hope of reversal was completely extinguished. In the end, the Lakers lost the game 107-113.
It is worth mentioning that the "creator" of the Lakers' key mistake was the team's young player Horton Tucker, who passed the ball wide when he served the sideline, and the Heat seized the opportunity to complete the counterattack, and the point difference widened. Without this mistake, the Lakers may be able to equalize or even surpass the score. However, Vogel had a different view of this mistake, saying that the mistake was not Tucker's fault, but that he did not tell him more of the serve routine. It seems that Vogel still loves his players and will not throw the pot in public.
Before the game, some media revealed that Davis may return, but the fact is that he did not appear. Without Davis, the other two giants of the Lakers would have to take on the big responsibility. Let's start with James. In this game, James's performance was outstanding, especially in the last minute, which once gave fans hope of winning. Unfortunately, the sky is not the limit. Instead of being frustrated by the defeat, James made his own jokes and made a self-deprecation of his thinning hair. 37-year-old people, playing like this, what else do you want?
Let's look at Wei Shao again. There is a saying that this game Westbrook rebounded, and his play was very good. Throughout the game, Westbrook shot 9 goals in 15 shots and got a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. By the way, he made only 3 mistakes. Is this still Westbrook? At least not the Westbrook of the previous games. In the face of the loss, Wei Shao felt some regret, saying that they were a little late in the time to start the game, and should give the opponent a sense of pressure from the beginning of the game. Wei Shao is right, if the Lakers started like in the fourth quarter, the team really wouldn't necessarily lose.
Anyway, the Lakers should still sum up well, the team is not always so bad, there are highlight moments. Keep up the good work!
