On February 17, Beijing time, the NBA regular season was a focus battle, and the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Utah Jazz. In the end, the Lakers beat their opponents 106-101. After this game, the Lakers' record became 27 wins and 31 losses, ranking ninth in the West. The Jazz, on the other hand, are 36-22, finishing fourth in the West.
This game is still quite ups and downs, especially for the Lakers, it can be described as going from hell to heaven. When Anthony Davis injured his foot in the first half, the whole team was full of sad atmosphere, and many people thought that they were finished in this game, because they had previously relied on thick eyebrows and Donovan Mitchell to hold on, and if he was injured, then who could stand up and pick the girder.
As it turned out, James still had to come. At their peak, the Lakers trailed by 14 points, and since then, they've embarked on a counterattack trip. Thick eyebrows are gone, James has to come forward, and he proves once again that even at the age of 37, he is still one of the best players in the league. In the whole game, James played nearly 40 minutes, it was not easy, 14 of 23 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, 33 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, very versatile.
The most bloody thing is that the final decisive moment of the last quarter is that James uses a tough three-point solution to the battle and completely lays the victory. In addition to James, another giant, Russell Westbrook, did not pull his crotch today, withstanding the pressure in the second reading stage and using free throws to save the victory. He played 33 minutes, shot 6-of-13, contributed 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, even if there were 5 turnovers, he could accept it.
The Lakers beat their backbone, overcame the haze of thick eyebrow injuries, and pulled the fourth place in the West off the horse, slightly unexpected. The victory or defeat of a game does not represent anything, the Lakers are still difficult to say out of the predicament, especially in the next period of time may not have thick eyebrows, it is even worse, I hope that Zhan Wei and others will continue today's performance in the second half, so that the outside world is impressed.
