On February 10, Beijing time, 105-107, the Lakers lost to the Blazers. In this game, James played 37 minutes, 13 of 22 shots, got 30 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and 14 points in the fourth quarter. But he was powerless to be the Savior. Thick eyebrows played 40 minutes and 45 seconds, shooting 8 of 11, 1 of 3 points, 1 of 4 from the free throw line, contributing 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, 1 steal, and 0 shots in the last 9 minutes.
This battle is less truce, but James and Thick Brow are both on the scene. Rivals have recently suffered six straight losses and have given up on the season after a back-to-back big trade. Therefore, before the game, many people are still optimistic about the Lakers to win the opponent and stop the decline.
Unexpectedly, the Lakers' attack in the second half of the game was like a pool of stagnant water, with a series of mistakes, and it was difficult to play a smooth cooperation. In the whole game, the Lakers made as many as 21 turnovers, James and Munch each had 6, and the opponent had only 11. Moreover, after shooting 11 three-pointers in the first half, the Lakers only shot 6 three-pointers in the second half, while opponents opened up the outside touch.
In this case, it is not surprising that the Lakers once led by 9 points, and finally were reversed. However, losing to the Blazers who have given up this season is still unbelievable. The US media "Hoop Central" posted a desperate expression on James's face at the last moment, bluntly saying that LeBron could not believe all this.
According to statistics, this is the first time in the Lakers' era in Vogel's coaching era that they are still 4 games away from the 50% win rate. Thick Brow played the final 9 minutes and 09 seconds of the fourth quarter, and he didn't even have a single shot, nor did he shoot a free throw. The last time Thick Brow played at least five minutes in the fourth quarter, the game without a shot dates back to December 28, 2015.
Such a defeat would be bitter. According to Lakers Daily, thick eyebrows, who were invisible on the field at the last moments of the game, did not attend the press conference and did not want to be interviewed.
