On February 13, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers lost 115-117 to the Warriors on the road, suffering 3 consecutive losses, this game Lakers star LeBron James won three free throws in the end, could have dragged the game into overtime with three free throws, but James finally made 3 free throws and 1 shot, making the team regret losing.
Speaking about whether his 1-of-10 shooting efficiency in the fourth quarter was affected by blow-offs, James said: "Of course, I hate playing inefficiently, especially when it comes to shooting. I didn't play enough rounds in the final stages to help our team win, I shot just 2 of 15 in the second half and it wasn't like me. However, I like some of the shots I get, and I'm sure I've been hit in some shots. They played well, though, and I didn't finish enough rounds well to help us win. This kind of thing will inevitably happen. ”
At the same time, after the game, Lakers star Anthony Davis also said that the team needs to practice free throws. Speaking about the team's poor free throw performance, Davis said: "You have to practice hard in the training hall and practice more free throws. From me, I made poor free throws. As Thick Brow said, this game is not only James's bad free throws, the Lakers' free throws are not good, a total of 33 free throws, 22 of the shooting rate is only 66.7%, but where the Lakers players can make a little better free throws, they may win this game.
But it should be noted that the penalty difference can take the initiative to practice, but the tactics are problematic, may need the Lakers coaching staff to reflect on it, this game James played very poorly in the fourth quarter, 10 shots only 1, and there was a serious physical overdraft phenomenon, and at this time, it should have been the time for the thick eyebrows to stand up and take over the game, but in the end, the thick eyebrows only got 3 shots in the fourth quarter, 3 in 1 to get 3 points and 2 rebounds, 13 out of 5, 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Placing it on a superstar of this level with thick eyebrows is undoubtedly unqualified.
But is it all a matter of thick eyebrows? One of the biggest problems is the Lakers coaching staff. According to statistically from statistic media Stat Muse, Lakers forward Anthony Davis made a total of 3 shots in the fourth quarter of the last two games, shooting 1 of 3. As the youngest star in the Lakers, a superstar at the peak age, the thick eyebrows can not get the ball in the fourth quarter for two consecutive games, which is undoubtedly unreasonable.
What's more, the Lakers have two major assist kings, James and Westbrook, and the passing of these two should be able to maximize the empty cutting and eating ability of thick eyebrows, but the final effect is that they did not feed the ball well for thick eyebrows, did not find ways to make thick eyebrows play more comfortably, and participated in more opportunities on the offensive end.
Although part of the reason for this result is also because the recent personal state of thick eyebrows is indeed average, but because of this, the Lakers should find ways to better activate thick eyebrows, to know that he is the youngest of the big three, but also the Lakers' biggest advantage in the game, how to use thick eyebrows basically determines how far the Lakers can go this season.
Especially if the Lakers really play against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs, there is no doubt that thick eyebrows are the key to defeating the Warriors, so the coaching team led by Vogel, as well as the two organizers of James and Westbrook, should really take thick eyebrows as the tactical core, at least there should be no embarrassing situation that makes him only turn back on the court at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.
