On March 4, Beijing time, in the Los Angeles derby game, the Lakers once played their own characteristics in the first half, and in the third quarter, they lost points and rebounds consecutively, and were played by the opponent to play a fast attack. In this quarter, they trailed 18-40 and eventually lost the game.
The final score was 111-132, and in the game they were behind by more than 30 points on several occasions and had little ability to fight back.
The current Lakers, with a record of only 27 wins and 35 losses, are quite far from the playoffs. This season's Lakers, promotion is only theoretically possible.
The Lakers have had a very bad record in recent times. They wanted to change all that, and in the los Angeles Clippers game, Howard returned to the starting position. In the first 2 quarters of the game, the two sides were very anxious, and the Lakers, although the defense was average, were very distinctive in the offense.
But in the second half, the Lakers became the previous team that was not defensive and procrastinating.
The Lakers' hesitation in the offense led to the Clippers being able to get a lot of counter-attack opportunities. They fought back quickly, scored quickly, and widened the gap just as quickly.
Constantly fighting back, constantly three points, constantly breaking through. The Lakers quickly lost their temper.
The Lakers have a large number of players who can play, and the Clippers' 3 main players are still on the injury list. But even so, the Lakers can't stop the other side's attack.
After losing points again and again, the morale of the whole team began to decline. At the top of the third quarter, the Lakers were behind by more than 30 points at one point. If it wasn't for James' 3-pointer, the game might have gone into garbage time. But James' three-pointers came too late and too little. And the support given to James by teammates is not enough.
The Lakers' game is very strange, when they are ahead, it is easy to be caught up by the other side. Once the big score is behind, even if the whole team is working hard, it is extremely difficult to chase points.
The whole team is not short of three points, no shortage of fast attacks, no lack of assists. But the Lakers rebounded in general, and also lacked the back-up in the fast attack. In the case of backwardness, the Lakers have obviously made more mistakes than the other side. This leads to the team getting more and more tired, and once the big score is behind, it is equivalent to losing.
James is very tired, Westbrook is very tired, the AD that has not suffered an injury is not easy, the Lakers' current lineup, can not prevent the small man, can not prevent the big man, can not prevent the three points, and can not prevent the opponent's fast attack.
When the opposing player is in hot form, the Lakers want to pinch the defense, but the effect is very poor.
With a wave of consecutive scoring from Reggie Jackson, the Lakers put on a bench early to accept the loss when there were 3.5 points left in the game.
After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers have little chance of reaching the playoffs. At present, they have only 27 wins and 35 losses, while the Los Angeles Clippers, who are eighth in the West, are 34 wins and 31 losses.
Although there are still quite a few games left, considering that both teams will encounter a strong championship battle with excellent strength and the favorite of the champions. Therefore, there are not many games that can really chase points.
What they really need to worry about is whether they will be surpassed by the Pelicans and Spurs behind them in the future.
For a long time in the past two, 3-4 super players plus a lot of veterans, were able to make up the championship favourites. But now, times have changed.
This summer, the Lakers may have a big deal in the transfer market.
