After a three-game losing streak and a hasty road trip, the greatly frustrated Los Angeles Lakers returned home and ushered in the challenge of the Blazers during the two-game losing streak.
In terms of the Lakers, James is absent due to injury, and Melon Anthony can play against the old owner, what kind of game performance can be played, which has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game.
On the other hand, the Blazers side, this game to the road, whether the team can withstand the pressure, end the decline in the losing streak, the core of the team CJ McCollum obviously needs to stand up!
However, after 4 quarters of fighting, with a strong start of 16-8, the Lakers, who played at home, overpowered the Blazers in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, CJ McCollum felt hot in the third quarter and led the Blazers to a wave of counter-attack and successfully completed the score reversal.
But helplessly at the end of the final showdown, the thick eyebrow brother + melon successively exerted force, and the two veterans also joined forces to take over the game, completely ending the Blazers' attempt to reverse the idea.
In the end, the Lakers also beat the Blazers 99-94 at home, successfully defending the home stadium, but also giving the opponent Blazers 3 consecutive losses!
Returning to home in this game, the Lakers will sweep away the downturn during the losing streak and play a team offensive with 4 people scoring in double figures and all of them.
In the case of Bradley + Munch + Howard and other main players, each performing their duties, the two core thick eyebrows + Wei Shao, and the play of the big general Melon Antony on the bench, is particularly critical!
The game continued the fiery state of the previous game, starting 34 minutes, shooting a game-high 30 points on 10-of-18 shooting, plus 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
Among them, his brave performance of taking 11 points in the single quarter of the final quarter not only helped the Lakers to defend the victory almost single-handedly, but also became a difficult existence for the Blazers to solve.
Rationally speaking, in the confrontation with Nurkic in this game, whether in terms of personal data or team performance, the thick eyebrow brother has indeed defeated Nurkic at both ends of the attack and defense!
In addition, as the core point guard of the team, the play of Westbrook in this game also played a crucial role.
Although Wei Shao did not feel good in this campaign, there were only 4 mistakes in 3 of 12 shots, but throughout the game, Wei Shao handed over a quasi-triple-double performance of 9 points + 10 rebounds + 13 assists + 1 steal, which revitalized the whole team's attack!
Of course, the Lakers can win this game, and the performance of Melon Anthony on the bench is also indispensable.
In this game, facing the old owner, melons are full of firepower, the substitute played for 31 minutes, shooting nearly 70% of the 12 shots in 8 shots, and the outside line shot 5 three-pointers, contributing 24 points + 8 rebounds + 2 assists + 2 blocks.
Not only did it provide the Lakers with a powerful outside firepower, but it also completely disrupted the defensive rhythm and deployment of the Blazers at both ends of the attack and defense, and successfully affected the trend of the game!
On the other hand, on the Blazers side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and finally lost by 5 points, and the performance of the game of swallowing 3 consecutive defeats obviously needs to be examined.
But for the Blazers, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of CJ McCollum + Anfinny Simmons and other main players, continuing a stable performance, the core of the team Norman Powell played, indeed remarkable.
Powell was in a heroic state in this game, starting 39 minutes, hitting 5 three-pointers on 10-of-20 shooting, cutting a team-high 30 points, plus 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.
Although it failed to help the Blazers win, Powell's excellent performance in this game did bring a lot of pressure and trouble to the Lakers!
Only in the case of Covington + McLemore 17 in 17, the feel of cold and the loss of the crosshair, in the face of the multi-point blossoming Lakers, this campaign worked hard for a whole, but did not return powell, it seems that he can only helplessly drink and hate.
