The NBA regular season is a focus battle, with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the New York Knicks. The opening plot is eye-popping. The Knicks exploded on the outside, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and with only 81 seconds left for the Lakers, Vogel was forced to call a timeout, and LeBron James was frustrated.
The Lakers' ranking has fallen to the ninth place in the West, with a record of 25 wins and 28 losses, and the winning rate is still a certain gap from 50%, which is not satisfactory. And the Knicks, no longer the original dark horse nature, only ranked 12th in the East, 24 wins and 28 losses than the Lakers are worse, it can be said that this is a contest between brothers and sisters.
For the Lakers, it is gratifying that the top pillar LeBron James has returned, and the big three of Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook have finally merged. No matter what the record was when the previous combination was, at least the main heart bone was more, and the heart was more confident. But after the opening, the big three were hit by a critical blow and were blinded by the long-range sniper.
The Knicks shot 3 consecutive three-pointers, RJ Barrett two, Fournier one, almost all of which are empty positions, indicating that the Lakers' defense has certain problems, but also shows that the Knicks themselves feel good. At the same time, the Lakers have nothing to gain on the offensive end, which is even more depressing than being blown up on the defensive end. So, in just 81 seconds, Vogel decisively called a timeout, which is still quite cautious.
The comeback James, a bit dejected, is equivalent to a two-way fight, before he opened the frame, he was punched a few times, you can imagine how depressed. After the timeout returned, the Knicks continued to score, and after blasting out an 11-0 attack wave, the Lakers finally scored their first point. The opening game began by digging a double-digit pit, and the Lakers forced themselves to add difficulty.
