Before the start of the regular season, the Fans of the Purple and Gold Army Lakers have great expectations for the team to impact the championship, how great the loss is today, and the poor performance has proved that the combination of the big three of Westbrook, Thick Brow And James is difficult to produce a good chemical reaction, although the Lakers still did not complete the big deal on the trade deadline, to adjust the lineup is also interpreted by the outside world as giving up this season, but even if it fails, it can not be without a bottom line, if the Lakers can't even enter the playoffs this season, Undoubtedly will become the laughing stock of the whole league, the purple and gold army, which is currently ranked ninth in the West, strives for a play-off place, which has become their top priority, in this regular season, the Lakers encountered the Rockets, the penultimate rocket team in the West, and which team played is the Lakers' curse of five or five open, this game to welcome back the thirty-year-old LeBron James' Lakers, the whole game did not extend the lead to double digits, the two sides have also been playing overtime, the final decisive link, Jaylen Green burst out to score 10 points in overtime to help the Rockets beat the Lakers 139-130, giving the Purple and Gold Two Straight Losses!
The Rockets, who have created the longest losing streak of the season, have also played a wave of consecutive wins before, the reason why they will have the opposite performance in a season, mainly because their stability is not enough, when they can play a smooth overall offense through excellent sharing of the ball, they can make up for the weakness of the top super giant to the greatest extent, in this game and the Purple and Gold Army, the Rockets have played a momentum of everyone fighting bayonets on the offensive end, and the rocket team nine-man rotation of the whole game has all scored, Seven of the players scored in double digits.
Jaylen Green, who was pinned high hopes by the team management, continued the fiery state of the game, playing 38.1 minutes, hitting 13 goals in 21 shots, contributing 32 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, including scoring a new career high, while Christopher, who came off the bench, became the most threatening player on the offensive end of the team's second lineup, scoring 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting, and the rockets were also the key to the Rockets' ability to beat opponents on the gram.
In fact, the Purple and Gold Legion also showed a good integrity in this game, LeBron James, who took a break from this campaign, was once again put on the fifth position, and very well revitalized the team's attack, although the thirty-year-old man felt cold in this battle, 9 shots, but he still contributed 23 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks of triple-double data, but the overtime performance was completely suppressed by Green, and he could only accept the outcome of the loss.
Wei Shao, who has become the Lakers' designated back pot man, suffered a career mileage in this battle, played the best game in recent form against his old club, hit 11 goals in 22 shots, cut 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and in this game, Wei Shao also raised his career total score to the 23,000 point mark, becoming the fifth player in the active game after James, Anthony, Durant and Harden to unlock this achievement!
Judging from the Current situation of the Lakers, they want to climb to the eighth position after the end of the regular season, and it is unlikely that the Clippers will climb to the eighth position, and the gap between the Pelicans and the Purple and Gold Army behind them is not large, go all out to keep the ninth place position in the West, and then go all out to fight for the playoffs, which has become their most promising way to impact the playoffs!
