On March 4, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Clippers, and the Lakers lost to the Clippers 111-132 at the end of the game. This game is very important for the Lakers, after all, the last game the two teams met the Lakers are almost won the game, but the Lakers lost the game after the encounter is a losing streak, now the Lakers are in a difficult moment, in the face of the direct opponents who enter the playoffs, the Lakers are bound to need to win, otherwise whether the Lakers can still play in the playoffs is really difficult to say. The Lakers had ups and downs in the first half of the game, but in the end, in the second quarter of the game, the Lakers still chased the score, but it was incomprehensible that the Lakers collapsed early in the third quarter, and finally the Lakers suffered a fiasco.
The Clippers started 5-0 in the first quarter, but then James helped the team to bite the score, and the next two teams attacked each other, relying on Reeves and other Lakers to tie the score. In the following game, the two teams played separately, but the Lakers had problems in the final stage, And Covington's three-point burst from the outside line helped the Clippers reverse the score, and the Lakers trailed by 5 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, James scored to stop the bleeding, but the Lakers' poor defense allowed the Clippers to seize the opportunity to open the score, fortunately, the Lakers found some state in the next game, plus Anthony, Munch found the state and began to chase the score, and then the Lakers continued to maintain their status, Munch dunked and scored, and the Lakers fell behind by 3 points at the end of the half.
In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers' offensive state was sluggish, the Clippers played a wave of 13-2 to open the score again, after the timeout, the Lakers could not stop the decline, Reggie and others continued to help the team expand the lead, the Lakers trailed to 20 points. After the timeout, the Clippers played another wave of 7-0, Anthony scored to stop the bleeding, but Morris and others continued to help the Clippers extend the lead, and James scored to stop the bleeding in the final stage, and the Clippers led by 25 points at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter of the game, relying on James, Augustine and others to play the Lakers or close to the score, coupled with the west of the play lakers to chase the score to 18 points, but soon Reggie led the team to give a response to expand the lead, the next game saw no chance of reversal, the Lakers also gave up the game to let the Clippers win a big victory.
On the whole, the Clippers still win more easily, especially when Reggie is on the court, the Clippers can play a good performance, and the reason why the Lakers chased the score is when Reggie was not present in the second quarter of the game, and in the third quarter of the game, when the Lakers attacked the downturn, how the Clippers played, which also made the Lakers suffer, as for the fourth quarter of the game, although the Lakers chased the score, but the Clippers were always able to respond, and finally the Clippers won the game. In this game, Reggie's personal scoring set a new season high, and Reggie got 36 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists at the end of the game.
On the other hand, the Lakers side is more uncomfortable, after all, at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Lakers only trailed by 3 points, just when the fans thought that the Lakers were going to fight back in the second half of the game, the Lakers' performance was shocking, their sluggish offense soon made the Clippers completely play the game, and looking at such a Lakers can really only say that they are hopeless, after all, their goals in this season are different, and now the Lakers still have James and Westbrook, but their incomprehensible collapse is uncomfortable. So now the Lakers look really hopeless. James in this game really does not have much to do, after all, the current Lakers are really not James alone can save, the end of the game James got 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists data, it can be said that before James said that he wanted to lead the team out of the predicament, but now James obviously did not do such a thing.
As for Wei Shao's performance in this game, it is actually OK, in the first half of the game, Wei Shao still helped the team to catch up with the score, and when the Lakers collapsed in the game, you had no way to blame Wei Shao more, and Wei Shao got 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists at the end of the game. And for the current Lakers, Wei Shao and Vogel really need to leave a person, after all, the failure of the Lakers this season obviously looks like Wei Shao and Vogel have a lot of responsibilities, of which Wei Shao is obviously very uncomfortable with the team, Vogel's coaching is more than once criticized, and looking at such a Lakers can only say that the two need to leave one person, but in the end who leaves is really difficult to say, or both will eventually leave the Lakers, all this is not easy to say.
