#2021-2022 Regular Season No.50 #
After the philadelphia defeat, the Lakers played back-to-back against the Charlotte Hornets today.
LeBron and Brow, who are in the state of daily observation, only decided to miss the game before the game, in addition to Munch also missing one game due to sore left groin.
As a result, three of the top five players on the team are absent, and the Lakers can be said to be playing in the residual team.
In the last meeting between the two teams, the Lakers narrowly won the opponent after overtime.
If this campaign is to achieve a double kill against the opponent's season, the team needs more people to be able to stand up.
Match overview
After the game began, the Lakers' new starting lineup was a bit unfamiliar with each other, and they failed to hit each other after repeated attempts on the offensive end.
The Hornets, on the other hand, set off wave after wave of counterattacks led by three goals, and they made a strong start of 9-0 at home.
Falling into passivity at a very early stage has also caused some changes in the mentality of Lakers players.
Jordan Jr. missed four consecutive free throws, and the Hornets made a lucky three-pointer for Washington, with the gap between the two teams getting wider and wider.
After changing to the second lineup, the Lakers' offense under Anthony's leadership was finally a little improved, but Rozier's three-point shot still gave the Hornets a 10-point lead in this quarter.
In the second quarter, the Lakers' benches continued their vibrancy on the court, with Tucker and Reeves scoring a basket to narrow the point gap to five points.
Unfortunately, when the starter returned, the Lakers returned to the first quarter on the defensive end, and the three-goal helped Plumlee complete the empty connection, and the point difference returned to double digits.
After two timeouts, the Lakers' starting set is still difficult to play, if it is not the Hornets at the end of the quarter to miss the opportunity to empty three points, the point difference before the end of the half may be even greater.
In the second half, Anthony was put into the starting lineup, but the game did not change much.
Westbrook's handling on the offensive end was a bit of a rush, and the Hornets seized the opportunity to score several counter-attacks, and the point difference was widened to 20 points.
Fortunately, the Lakers then opened three outside the line, Anthony and Ellington shot three points successively, and Wei Shao finally completed the counterattack to a dragon layup, and the Lakers responded with a wave of climax to narrow the point difference to 4 points.
After the timeout, the Lakers chased points unabated, Reeves hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers filled in the 20-point difference in this section.
In the final quarter, the Hornets stabilized the situation under the leadership of three goals, and the Lakers benches were still able to provide stable energy, and the scores on both sides alternately rose.
Rozier then committed a three-point foul, Martin counter-attacked a layup and the Hornets re-established a 10-point deficit.
In a moment of crisis, today's only leader of the team, Wei Shao, stepped forward, and he scored 10 points in a row, helping the Lakers keep the hope of winning.
In the last round, the Lakers trailed by 2 points, and Wei Shao chose to shoot outside the three-point line, but unfortunately this killer shot was slightly offside.
In the end, the Lakers lost 114-117 on the road to the Hornets, suffering two consecutive losses.

Post-match commentary
In the absence of Zhan Mei's two cores, the Lakers have to face a Hornets who are the first in the league in scoring per game and the third in the offensive efficiency league, in fact, they have fallen into a fierce situation before the game.
This is true from the first half of the game, the Hornets' blocking offense is playing well against the Lakers' defense, and the elderly Jordan Jr. is also treated as a toy in the face of the more impactful Plumlee.
But at one point behind 20 points, the Lakers were able to drag out the game to the last round, and even have a chance to kill the game, which can be said to be enough to make all Lakers fans feel happy.
Today's Wei Shao, after experiencing people's belittling and questioning of him for a season, he chose to carry the team on his shoulders, as if returning to his former self.
Since Kobe Bryant's retirement, Westbrook has become the first player in Lakers history to score 30 points at halftime.
Unlike the three-point shot against the Kings, although Wei Shao missed the kill this time, I believe that no one will question his choice again.
Without his 10 consecutive points to lead the team to launch a crazy counterattack, perhaps the game would have lost its suspense long ago.
Such a mighty sky has brought long-lost confidence to all the fans who supported him.
And if Wei Shao can find his rhythm and feeling of playing through this battle, we will also be happy for him from the bottom of our hearts.
Back-to-back two consecutive games, although the Lakers failed to win, in the two games in which LeBron was absent, we saw thick eyebrows and Westbrook erupt in succession.
When the trio fits together, the team still has a lot of fighting power, and they still have enough time to find the feeling of playing with each other.
