On March 2, Beijing time, the Lakers lost 104-109 at home to the Lone Rangers, suffering three consecutive losses. The Lakers once erased the huge disadvantage of 21 points, but they were helpless to lose at the last moment, and finally lost. After the game, James, who played well in this battle, did not return to the court and left the court directly, and he was very disappointed about losing. And Wei Shao's poor performance in this game also needs to bear a certain responsibility for losing.
In the whole game, Wei Shao only made 5 of 17 shots, had 12 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and did not make mistakes. But Westbrook's plus-minus for this game was only an embarrassing -8, the lowest of all starters. Consecutive good missed shooting opportunities, and Westbrook's performance was really disappointing. In the second quarter of the game, Wei Shao also appeared in a scene of angrily scolding the referee for eating T, and it was obvious that there was some emotional breakdown.
At that time, Wei Shao was completely emptied by the Lone Ranger on the outside line. Doncic, who was responsible for defending him, did not care about Wei Shao at all, and directly released 5 meters. Then Westbrook won the ball on the outside line, and he did not seek to shoot, but directly rushed into the inside line. But Doncic was already defensive and directly sent a big hat. Wei Shao felt that the ball had not been blown by the foul, so he asked the referee to roar angrily.
The referee was also not accustomed to Wei Shao, and directly gave him a technical prisoner. Westbrook then chattered, but in slow motion, Doncic's cap wasn't much of a problem. It's just the epitome of Westbrook's full game, constantly being let go, making the Lakers feel like 4-5 on the court. At the last minute, Wei Shao made another mistake, causing the team to completely lose hope of overturning.
After the game, Wei Shao left the field alone. James also looked very unhappy, and he did not turn his head back directly back to the dressing room. In this game, James got 26 points, 12 boards and 5 assists, plus or minus +7, which can be said to be the best effort. It's just a pity that the team was blown up by Doncic at a critical moment, and it can only be said that the strength of this Lakers is not enough to beat the Lone Rangers.
