On February 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers challenged the Warriors away. Klay Thompson performed well in the 4th quarter, scoring 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting in the quarter and scoring 33 points in the game to lead the Warriors to a 117-115 victory over the Lakers! James, due to physical reasons, played abnormally in the 4th quarter, scoring 3 points on 1 of 10 shooting, and the Lakers regrettably lost to the Warriors to suffer 3 consecutive losses.
Although the Lakers lost this game, it gave Lakers fans a glimmer of hope. The first is that Wei Shao played this game very reasonably, until the last second of the game, Wei Shao was still able to fight for the Lakers on the court. Wei Shao played 35 minutes in this game, shooting 7 of 13 of 7 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and only 1 turnover, plus-minus is also the only player in the starting lineup. Lakers head coach Vogel also praised Wei Shao rarely after the game, saying that Wei Shao showed a very good competitive spirit against the Warriors this evening.
The second is that the Lakers' bench played really well in this game! Munch played 20 minutes, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 5-of-9 shooting, with a plus-minus of +7! Tucker Jr. played 30 minutes, scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 5-of-9 shooting, plus or minus +8! Ariza played 16 minutes, and although he didn't score on 0-of-2 shooting, he had 4 rebounds and a plus-minus of 4! Reeves had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 5-of-5 shooting, and performed very well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at key moments!
James scored 26 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, and ushered in his own milestones in the game. After this game, James's career regular season + playoff total score reached 44157 points, surpassing Lakers star Jabbar and becoming the first person in NBA history. It was a great achievement, and his significance completely exceeded the outcome of a match! After the game, Lakers head coach Vogel talked about this achievement of James, Vogel said: "For me, he is the greatest player in history, and I still believe that he can take us to some great things this year." ”
How far do you think the Lakers can go this season? Is there a chance to make it to Round 2 of the playoffs? I think it's still more difficult, because the Lakers are in the playoffs, I don't think it's big. But to reach round 2, you need to beat the Warriors or the Suns in the first round, which is a bit more difficult!
