Beijing time on February 26, the Lakers 102-105 defeat to the Clippers, this game lakers once wiped out the disadvantage of 16 points, in the last quarter there are 3 minutes and 53 seconds left to lead 5 points, the last quarter is 1 minute and 34 seconds left to lead 1 point, did not expect to reverse the failure in the end, can only say that the last 1 minutes and 34 seconds The Lakers attacked and defended the two ends of the crotch too much, James was once again pushed to the cusp of the storm.
18.8 seconds before the final game, Tucker defended Reggie without a foul, the referee watched the replay and announced that the Lakers challenge was successful, the Clippers did not have half-time violations for 8 seconds, the Lakers had 17.7 seconds to play the final attack, at this time the Lakers only trailed by 1 point, whether it was two points or three points as long as the goal is a huge advantage.
James' outside line was clipped to Anthony, who shot with about 4 seconds left, two steps from the three-point line, and missed the frame before shooting, leaving only 2.2 seconds, James did not choose to shoot his own three-pointers or break through at the most critical moment. If this ball James breaks through is likely to create a foul, two free throws also have the hope of killing, but he chose to split Anthony.
After the game, 'Gold Medal Jamhei' Slip Belis said bluntly: What? LeBron turned down a possible winning ball, or a winning free throw, and instead opted for a three-point shot pass to Anthony. LeBron then shot a three-pointer in the bottom corner that missed the ball. The Lakers lost to the Clippers without Leonard, George, or Powell!
James was sprayed again! Refusing to shoot the winning ball chose to give Anthony, and when the Clippers led by three points, he did not hit the 0.7-second tie. With as many as six turnovers of 6-of-18 + 8-of-8 three-pointers and as many as six turnovers in the game, James was just too crotch-pulling. However, I think Vogel's problems are also big, and his problems are more serious than James's.
First of all, Howard is very good, the whole game 26 minutes to get 14 points and 16 rebounds (7 frontcourt rebounds) 1 steals and 3 blocks, he only played less than 2 minutes in the final quarter, but these 2 minutes The Lakers established a 5-point lead, to know that James was not present in that time period, if Vogel continued to let Howard protect the basket, maybe this game could not play the last minute, Vogel did not have the courage to let James watch from the sidelines, he was so cowardly.
Secondly, why must James play center in the fourth quarter, is the 37-year-old almost 38-year-old really not tired? From the scene, he is really tired and can't do it, let James play 3-4, Howard continue to play five is not good?
