Today, the NBA regular season continues, with the Los Angeles Lakers coming to the road to challenge the Charlotte Hornets, a back-to-back game.
Yesterday, the Lakers also lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, and today their lineup is even a little more ugly, because anthony Davis will not play except for James's absence. Only Westbrook led the team, and the Lakers' combat effectiveness was naturally much lowered, not the opponent of the Hornets.
But in the end, the Lakers only lost to the Hornets 114-117, and Westbrook's final chance to kill was not taken. However, occupying such a good situation, or narrowly winning 3 points, the Hornets are of course very dissatisfied with themselves.
In the first three quarters of the game, the Hornets were basically dominant, maintaining a 10-point lead or so. But in the final stage of the third quarter, the Lakers began to chase points, and in the fourth quarter, the game was reopened to the point difference, or slowly catching up.
As the owner of the Hornets, Jordan came to the scene to watch the game, and he was in the same frame as the Lakers' veteran James, which was very interesting. Watching the Hornets being chased by the Lakers, and even the possibility of being reversed and losing, Jordan could not sit still and angrily left the field early in the last 16.8 seconds.
Fortunately, the Hornets eventually withstood the pressure and won the game without giving the Lakers a chance to reverse. The Hornets have ambitious goals this season, hoping to reach the top four in the East and secure a playoff qualification and home field advantage in the first round.
Facing a team like the Lakers with an uneven lineup, the Hornets must win. Playing so hard, it's no wonder Jordan is so dissatisfied with his employees.
