On February 6, Beijing time, although James returned from a 5-game suspension and surpassed Kobe Bryant in 1347 games in his career to rise to the 14th place in history, the Lakers lost 42 points in the first quarter and 71 points in the first half, causing them to fall behind by 15 points in the first two quarters. The number one Zhan Hei, the American celebrity Skip, frantically spit on the Lakers led by James, especially accusing the Lakers of being "fake Lakers" and not having a purple gold glory temperament.
James had previously rested five games due to swollen knees, and the Lakers only had a 1-4 record, beating only the weak Blazers. Now facing the recently poor Knicks showdown, the Lakers were hit by the Knicks in the first quarter of 22, especially 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws, allowing the Knicks to get a new season-high 42 points.
Even more tragically, the Lakers continued to be suppressed in the quarter, and they lost 27-29 points in the second quarter with 13 points behind in the first quarter, and they had already trailed by 15 points 56-71 in the first half, and had been behind by 21 points at most, while the defense of losing 71 points in the first half was extremely deadly.
Although James scored 15 points on 7-of-10 and 7-of-11 in the first half, Westbrook scored 1-of-7, while Knicks double-core Barrett scored 21 points on 8-of-14 and Randle scored 20+7+6 on 7-of-12 to break the Lakers defense.
Skip is frantically spitting on the Lakers defense in the social media, "It is hard to believe that the Lakers led by James will change from the best defensive team last season to the ghost that it is now, the 24-28 Knicks just played the highest score of 42 points in a single quarter of the season, and it was in the first quarter, and it was at the Lakers' home. Defensively, the Lakers are now fake Lakers, and they don't have any purple gold glory! ”
