On March 10, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers challenged the Rockets away. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily led 38-32. In this quarter, the two teams began to fight each other, cutting 70 points together, but what is rare is that none of them scored in double figures, and even superstars like James Weston anthony did not steal the limelight at all.
At present, the Lakers' situation in the West is precarious, after the last loss, their record has become 28 wins and 36 losses, ranking ninth in the West, only 3 wins ahead of the non-play-off zone, not very safe, the rest of the schedule does not dare to take it lightly. And the Rockets, who have nothing to say about the rotten team, are at the bottom of the West with 16 wins and 49 losses, and for them, winning is not a good thing.
In the first quarter of the competition, both teams were efficient, and they put more energy into the offensive end, and there was a feeling of mutual explosion. In the end, it was the Lakers who were better, and they scored 38 points in a single quarter, which was gratifying. And the Rockets are not bad, with 32 points in the account. Interestingly, the two teams did not rely on a superstar or a surprise outbreak to achieve this effect, but relied on the whole people to fight and play collectively, which is the most rare.
On the Lakers side, James started the game, played the center position, did not steal the limelight, shot very little, only 3 shots and 2 of 3 shots to get 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. In addition, Augustine was the team's highest scorer, including two three-pointers on 3-of-3 and contributing 8 points. Another thing worth mentioning is that Westbrook had 2 of 5, 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, without error. Anthony, Bradley, S-Johnson and Malik Munch all scored five points.
On the Rockets side, the highest scorer was Green, who scored 7 points on 3-of-5, followed by Kenyan Martin Jr. who contributed 6 points on 3-of-3, and Schroeder and Gordon also had 5 points. Such a full-fledged confrontation is estimated not to last too long, depending on which side can have one or two explosive points to stand out, it will break the balance.
