Although the Warriors, like the Lakers, have not achieved any results in the free market, the situation of the two sides is different! The Lakers' goal now is not a championship, the reality is that they need to get a playoff spot; and the Warriors are in second place in the West, and in their current state, no matter how they will not repeat the same mistakes. So it seems to be the same form, but the problems that the two have to face are very different, and today two such teams have ushered in a contest!
The result of the game is that the Lakers lose, but this game, whether it is the Lakers management, or the players themselves, or the 6 billion fans, everyone should be satisfied. The point where the Lakers lost was only that James did not score in the final free throw, in contrast, the Lakers did a lot of good things today. There are three people who deserve our praise!
The first one is Young Master Wei! There is no need to say with a clear conscience, Westbrook's game really meets the needs of most of the Lakers' fans. Everyone didn't want to and didn't want to see Wei Shao shoot three-pointers, and he really tried his best in this game, and the whole game played for 35 minutes, and Wei Shao only shot two three-pointers and hit a hit. Another point is that everyone hopes that Wei Shao will make mistakes, and this game Young Master Wei has also done the same. 35 minutes of playing time, Wei Shao only made a mistake, at the critical moment of the game, Wei Shao's choices are very rational and clear, Wei Shao does not come, does not randomly shoot, does not pass blindly, in the case of the Lakers losing the game, Wei Shao's plus and minus values can also reach +2, and it is not easy to win 2 points on the floor.
The second player to deserve our praise is James! The problem with James is not scoring the final free throw, and that's really his problem. But if you think about it, if it wasn't for James cheating on three-point fouls, if it wasn't for James winning these three free throws, what would be the result of the Lakers? So we can't talk about things by results. Another point is the full game down, is not the performance of old Zhan not enough? Three points of 3 of 10, organization on the offensive end, constant passing of the ball, giving teammates a chance, alignment on the defensive end, old Zhan is all right, and don't forget that this is a 37-year-old man, we can't always treat him with the eyes of a saint, to ask him.
And the most commendable thing, in terms of this game, is the little Tucker on the bench! In fact, compared to the scolding, the Lakers have been scolded this season, and Tucker Jr. is no less than Westbrook. Because of the decision Pelinka made between Caruso and Tucker Jr., because of the 3-year, $30.78 million contract, because the performance did not deserve the salary. But this is actually not to blame the Lakers, Tucker Jr. has not played well so far in the season, the Lakers also want to send him away, he did not say anything, but the final result is 0, the Lakers smashed the mess in their hands.
And today's game, Tucker Jr. is revenge for virtue! The Lakers want to send him away, but he still makes himself. Today's bench debut 29 minutes, shooting 9 of 5, including 3 three-pointers, the whole game plus or minus +8, net win 8 points, 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Tucker Jr. has been very powerful. The Lakers can't send him away now, they can only choose to accept it silently, and this game little Tucker also surfaced his attitude, he began to change, so Pelinka is very ashamed, you don't want the person, actually use virtue to repay your injustice, and as for the big brother Old Zhan, you can wait, maybe little Tucker can continue this state and become your savior!
