NBA regular season continues, the Lakers home against the Lone Ranger, cut Jordan Jr., signed Augustine, the Lakers are changing, the female boss Jenny Bass came to the field again to cheer for the team, the Lone Ranger has been in good shape recently, successive wins, the two teams after four quarters of competition, the Lakers fell behind by 21 points, James hit three points in a row to help the Lakers equalize, at the critical moment, the Lakers' mistakes made them helpless to accept the loss, 109-104, 5 point difference, The Lakers have lost 6 of their last seven games, and the Lone Ranger has won three straight games.
From the beginning of the game, the Lakers and the Lone Rangers launched a confrontational battle, Johnson scored for the Lakers first, James and Westbrook used the breakthrough to score the ball equally strongly, the Lone Rangers relied on Doncic, Brunson to respond, Munch, Anthony's three points, so that the Lakers maintained the lead on the court, in the end of the first quarter, the Lakers offense was blocked, many shots hit iron, 3 minutes did not get a point, Doncic led the Lone Rangers to seize the opportunity to play an offensive climax, at the end of the first quarter to help the team lead the Lakers by 5 points.
In the second quarter, the Lone Ranger offensive feel undiminished, Dinwiddie, Brunson hit the outside line in succession, the Lakers scored 2 points in the opening 2 minutes and Bazmore scored 2 points, the Lone Ranger quickly expanded the point difference to more than 10 points, and what made the Lakers helpless was that the team's defense was lax, the Lone Ranger once again played a 14-2 attack wave, the Lakers fell behind by 5 points from the start, directly pulled up to more than 20 points, the Lakers attacked the downturn, began to complain about the referee, was led to a technical foul, Anthony broke the scoring drought for the Lakers, and the Lakers fell behind by 15 points at halftime. In the third quarter, the Lone Ranger offense was blocked, the Lakers seized the opportunity, Rivers counterattacked a two-point shot, Munch and Johnson hit three consecutive three-pointers, helping the Lakers play a 13-1 offensive climax, and then James suddenly broke out, he hit three consecutive three-pointers, directly equalized the score, such offensive momentum was cheered by the fans in the audience, boss Jenny Bass stood up and shouted for the Lakers, the Lakers won 17 points in a single quarter, 2 points ahead of the Lone Rangers.
In the final quarter, Westbrook, James quick attack dunk to help the team open the point difference, Dinwiddie for the Lone Ranger to stop the decline, James immediately in high difficulty to throw back, James to rest, the Lone Ranger in Brunson, Doncic led by 11-0, directly over 5 points, James re-debuted, but the feel declined, two attempts to three points failed, the Lone Ranger led by 7 points, the game time is not much, the Lakers can only accept the loss.
From 21 points behind, to equalize, counter-overtaking, the Lakers this game is like a roller coaster, the whole team of 5 people scored in double figures, James got the team's highest 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, the whole game he played 38 minutes, it can be said that he tried his best, 10 of the 18 shots hit one of them, plus three three-pointers, James's performance was impeccable, especially in the third quarter, three consecutive three-pointers, but also helped the Lakers equalize, which is 21 points behind, but James got no continuation, James made 4 mistakes in the whole game, three of which appeared at key moments, 2 three-point shots were not hit, directly buried the team's victory, but compared to victory, as a fan, you can still see James 37 years old so strong, this may be enough, many fans think that not to watch the Lakers is uncomfortable, watching the Lakers game is uncomfortable for a day, but so what, aren't we still watching every day?
In addition to James, Anthony is equally strong, playing 31 minutes and scoring 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting, so what else can we ask of anthony? Westbrook is still sluggish, only 5 hits in 17 shots, three-point and 4 shots, 12 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, when will we be able to see the really strong Westbrook? Tucker Jr. was controversial, scoring 8 points, the lowest plus-minus value in the team, but got nearly 34 minutes of playing time, seeing that Howard only played 4 minutes, maybe we can still find the "back pot" person who lost the Lakers.
The Lone Ranger also scored 5 people in double figures, their state is not particularly good, especially in the third quarter, directly by the Lakers out of a wave of streams, but at the critical moment, they did not make mistakes, with their own tenacity to avoid the 21-point big turnover, Doncic and Dinwiddie became the heroes of the Lone Ranger's victory, Doncic played 38 minutes, 21 shots 9 times, three-pointers 5 shots all lost, got 25 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers, such a state is obviously unqualified for Doncic, fortunately they have Dinwiddie, Playing 34 minutes and scoring 22 points, we can see the Lone Ranger whenever he encounters offensive difficulties.
This loss is indeed too bad for the Lakers, but how they adjust next there are still too many uncertainties, as fans, we can only wait and see, the championship does not want, we want to playoffs, and now the record has slipped to the playoffs, we can only expect the Lakers to put down their mentality and play a good game.
