Beijing time on February 27, the NBA Wizards away challenge to the Cavaliers, the first quarter cavaliers shooting rate of only 30.8%, under the leadership of lakers abandonment kyle Kuzma, the Wizards easily got a 5-point lead, the second quarter Wizards 7 mistakes in a single quarter, too many mistakes to the Cavaliers seized the opportunity, the Wizards only led by 2 points after halftime, Kuzma shot 5 of 6 in the third quarter, Markkanen scored 8 points on 1 of 2 shots, and the Wizards led by 4 points in the third quarter.
It is not easy for the Wizards to maintain the lead, but in the fourth quarter, their feel was suddenly lost, the Wizards shot 34.8% in the final quarter, 0% from three-point range, Markkanen and Allen scored 1 more point than the Wizards in the fourth quarter, and finally the score was fixed at 86-92, the Wizards were 6 points to defeat the Cavaliers, and in this game of defeat, the Wizards' 2 starters scored a total of 6 points, which also made Kuzma 2 to score 70 points is really helpless?
Corey Keyspert, Raul Neto is the Wizards' starting backcourt combination, Keyspert single-game 4 shot 1 points 1 points, Neto 10 shot 2 points scored 4 points, unbelievable, NBA team's starting backcourt combination can only score 6 points, these 2 total 14 shots 3, shooting 21.4%, three-point shooting rate of 0%, these 2 points combined are not as good as the Cavaliers Brandon Goodwin, when the starting backcourt combination played such a downturn, the Wizards' guard line basically collapsed...
The backcourt collapsed, which means that the pressure is on the front and inside, and Kuzma is the best player in the Wizards' front line of this campaign, Kuzma shot 13 of 22 in the whole game, including 8 of 11 three-pointers, he cut 34 points + 13 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks + 59% shooting rate + 72.7% shooting rate of 72.7% of the super data, more interestingly, the last 2 games Kuzma played well, but unfortunately it is still empty cuts.
In the game against the Spurs, Kuzma scored 36 points + 8 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals + 1 block + 48.1% shooting rate + 60% of three-point shooting rate, but the Wizards lost by 4 points in that game, coupled with the empty slash against the Cavaliers, Kuzma was 2 games 49 shots and 26 mid-range cut a full 70 points (including 11 of 16 three-pointers), gorgeous data can not win, this is really very helpless, especially in the case of Keyspert + Neto to cut 6 points...
Before leaving the Lakers, Kuzma also had a good single-game performance, but his state is difficult to maintain, that is, fans often say that unstable, unstable offense, unstable defense, this is the key point he will be used by the Lakers to trade Russell Westbrook, and the Wizards have more performance opportunities, his average data so far this season is 17 points + 8.9 rebounds + 3.1 assists + shooting rate of 45.6% + three-point shooting rate of 35.2%, only to maintain this state, Maybe it's only a matter of time before Kuzma is named an All-Star?
