After a bitter defeat and a hasty road trip, the Greatly Frustrated Nets returned home and ushered in the Lakers' challenge.
In terms of the Nets, Irving can't play in the home game, Durant is out of the team due to injury, and whether the Nets who are disabled in this battle can defend the home, Harden obviously needs to play.
On the other hand, on the Lakers side, the thick eyebrow brother ushered in a comeback, the three giants reunited again, and the Lakers were also ready to go, ready to do a lot on the road, take away the victory to complete the revenge!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with a wave of 17-5 scoring climax, the Lakers, who were mainly anti-guests, in the first half, they pressed the Nets and quickly occupied the initiative on the court.
Coupled with the return of the second half, the Lakers in the third quarter to take advantage of the chase, James + Westbrook + Munch successively, leading the Lakers to once again blast a wave of 21-9 offensive frenzy, in one fell swoop to expand the point difference to as many as 14 points.
Although the Nets tried to launch a counterattack under the leadership of Harden at the end of the final quarter, there was not much time left, and the Nets could not chase the points, so they had to shoot and lose.
In the end, the Lakers also broke the Nets 106-96 on the road, which was worth the trip to complete the revenge, and also gave the opponent Nets 2 consecutive losses!
In this game away from home, the Lakers swept away the slump of the previous game loss, played a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures, and all the members were soldiers.
In the case of the main forces such as Westbrook + melon + Bradley, each performing their duties, the two core James + thick eyebrow brothers, and the play of the tiger general Munch on the bench, is particularly critical!
In this game, James broke out in full swing, starting 32 minutes, shooting nearly 70% of the 14-of-21 shooting, and it exploded a game-high 33 points, plus 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Among them, in the third quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 12 points in a single quarter not only helped the Lakers quickly open up the score gap, but also once became an overwhelming existence for the Nets.
More importantly, James has not made a mistake in this game, and it can almost be said that he dreamed of returning to the peak at both ends of the attack and defense, and dominated the game by himself!
In addition, the play of the thick eyebrow brother who ushered in the comeback of this game also played a crucial role.
Although the thick eyebrow brother was limited by the playing time, he was very efficient, starting for 23 minutes, and delivered 8 points+ 2 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal + 4 blocks of offensive and defensive performance.
And it is not difficult to see that after a long rest and adjustment, the physical condition and competitive state of the thick eyebrow brother have indeed maintained a fairly good standard!
Of course, the Lakers were able to break the Nets in this game, and the performance of Tigers Malik Munch was also indispensable.
In this game, Munch was full of firepower, playing on the bench for 26 minutes, shooting 6 three-pointers on 7 of 13 shooting, contributing 22 points, 5 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal, and there was no personal error.
And his key performance of 11 points in the second quarter, a single quarter, not only provided the Lakers with a powerful firepower, but also completely disrupted the Nets' defensive rhythm and deployment, and made a great contribution for the Lakers to win the game!
On the other hand, on the Nets side, the team's offensive and defensive ends of this game were comprehensively crushed, and finally swallowed a 10-point defeat + 2 consecutive losses, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
But rationally speaking, for the Nets, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, as the ace of the team, the play of James Harden in this game is indeed remarkable!
Harden was well-defended, starting 37 minutes, hitting two three-pointers on 11-of-24 shooting, a team-high 33 points, plus a triple-double of 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Although it failed to help the Nets defend the home stadium, there is a saying that Harden's full play has indeed caused a lot of trouble and trouble to the Lakers!
Only in the absence of Durant + Irving at the same time, facing James, who has gone crazy, and the Lakers who have blossomed more points, Harden, who has worked hard for a whole game but is difficult to support, seems to have no choice but to accept the reality of 2 consecutive defeats.
