"Huh? The Lakers lost again? Or lose to the Rockets? You can all lose! "That's probably how most fans felt after watching today's game.
After all, the Rockets' steady league counts the bottom three, and they almost carved the "open swing" on the team. The Lakers lose to such a team, and the face is not wanted.
But savor it, this logic is not right, what level of your Lakers is now, you want him to win? The Lakers have only won 4 wins and 13 losses in the past 17 games, the second-worst in the league in the same period, only better than the Rockets' 3 wins and 14 losses.
Say good things, Lakers rockets are difficult brothers and brothers; said ugly, Lakers rocket rookies peck each other. Even, the rocket is in a slightly better condition, because they have previously laid the Grizzlies down.
Yesterday we talked about Wei Shao, hoping that he could stand up, and today Wei Shao responded with his own performance. At the beginning of the game, he strode out of the shooting star to leave the chase behind, and with this layup, Westbrook scored 23,000 points of his regular season career.
What is the concept of 23000 points? The total number of active players ranked ahead of Westbrook in terms of scoring were James, Anthony, Durant and Harden. Well, in the top five active scoring points, the Lakers accounted for three.
In this game, Wei Shao opened a big package mode, he played 39 minutes, shooting 11 of 21 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 8 from the free throw line, 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and only 1 error.
Such a performance should be regarded as a response to the sunspots. Unfortunately, Wei Shao was supported, but he was still a little bit away from punching his face.
The reason why it was a little worse was that it did not score in the final offensive round of the fourth quarter. At that time, James burst into the box with the ball, creating an excellent shot opportunity for Anthony who was ambushed on the flank, but Anthony's key jumper was deflected, and the Lakers failed to complete the kill.
Interestingly, in the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers once put up a lineup of James + four Rocket veterans, which were James + Westbrook + Anthony + Augustine + Bradley. In addition, the Lakers bench also sits two rocket veterans, Ariza and Howard.
Not to mention wester and Anthony, Augustine and Bradley, are all players abandoned by the Rockets in these two seasons, and the effect can be imagined. In a game where both sides poked each other without defense, neither team had a point difference of more than 3 points in the final quarter.
But how can a group of old men compare with the young ones? According to Martin Jr. Rockets, these guys played with my dad and are still playing with us.
The Lakers desperately used five small, so the Rockets' Green seized the opportunity to play 2 and a half minutes before overtime and led the team to a wave of 10-0.
Asked about the game plan after the game, Jaylen Green said bluntly: "The game plan is to attack melons. ”
Everyone understands the reason, but young man, you have to give Uncle Gua some face.
In the whole game, Jaylen Green played 38 minutes, shooting 13 of 21, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring a total of 32 points, 3 boards, 3 assists and 1 hat, setting a new career scoring record. Of those points, 10 points were scored in extra time.
In an interview after the game, Jaylen Green said: "It feels great. My teammates kept feeding me the ball and telling me to keep attacking until the opponent stopped me, and that's what I did. Tonight's basket feels super big. ”
I have to say that Jaylen Green has been doing really well recently. In a total of 8 games after the All-Star, Green contributed 20+ in 6 games, averaging 21.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. If the eyes are not watery, we have to look at it and say it again.
For the Lakers, nature can't escape a group of ridicule. Records alone are enough, such as losing 19 points in overtime, which is the record for the most points lost in a single quarter in overtime in the league this season.
Another example is this game is the 9th consecutive away game that the Lakers have lost, and the tie with the Rockets is the longest existing away streak in the league.
In addition, the nine-game losing streak on the road is the Lakers' longest away streak since the 16-17 season, when the Lakers suffered 12 consecutive away losses. In the remaining 17 regular season games, the Lakers have 11 away games left.
After the game, Lakers star and current commentator James Worthy said: "I think they have realized they can't win. They're not dead yet, but they've lost the tenacity and willpower to work hard to get out of trouble. ”
Miraculously, Anthony responded to Worthy's statement. Here's what he said: "I have a lot of respect for him, that's his point of view, man. He's been in this business for a long time, earning himself the right to speak out. I don't completely disagree with him. ”
So, negation + negation = affirmation?
Even the Clippers' Reggie said something he shouldn't have said today. After the Clippers' victory over the Wizards today, Reggie said in an interview: "There is no intention of offending the Lakers, but they are a team that lives under the spotlight." And we're the team that's really fighting for the people of Los Angeles, and we're the heart of the city. ”
Although the beginning emphasizes that he is not offended, the whole article is full of offense.
Interestingly, the Lakers will also play against the Wizards in the next game, when Kuzma and Pop and others are going to return to Los Angeles, and Kuzma also said: "The day after tomorrow against the Lakers is an important game for me and Pop. Today's and the day after tomorrow's game will be different. ”
So what's the difference, is it about winning or losing?
Back to the Rockets, the most amazing thing is not that they won the Lakers, nor is it the topic of Jaylen Green's water, but the man who has not played a game so far in the team season wants to return to the Wizards.
According to NBA reporter David Aldridge, Wall is now considering returning to wizardry and has discussed the matter with those around him.
According to The Athletic's analysis, after the Wizards sent Dinwiddie off the trade deadline, the team desperately needed a reliable full-time core guard. After all, netto, Smith, Satoransky or Winston, role players, can not play the team's starting point guard.
Looking at the free market, it seems that there is no one who meets the requirements of the Wizards, so there is a trick to move and hope that Wall will return to the Wizards.
That way, Wall doesn't even need to run into the team seamlessly. At the Rockets, he couldn't even play the ball, and back at the Wizards he could at least play a starter.
After all, the relationship between bill and Wall, the boss of the team, is not bad, even if the team's record is bad, the two people have not passed out too many real hammers of teammate discord.
It's just that this thing is unrealistic and difficult to say, after all, if you build a set of trading chips, Wall's 47 million contract needs to be balanced, which will inevitably make the Wizards hurt their bones. As for reaching a buyout with the team, the Rockets do not need adult beauty to make a wedding dress for others.
So all this is just a rumor, but this idea is too strange, breaking everyone's imagination, so say it to everyone.
The Rockets Lakers attracted a large wave of traffic, but forgot that today's real strong showdown is the sun and heat game, as the top of the East and West, this basketball strength contest is no smoother than the Lakers can not enter the playoffs?
In the end, the Suns won 111-90 on the road to 53-13, becoming the first team to fully lock up a playoff spot so far this season.
The Suns lost first and then won the game, playing a turnaround battle. At the beginning of the game, the Suns were a little dizzy by Dunro's three-point shot, trailing by 11 points at most, but then chased the score back and eventually won the Heat.
Winning the Heat also means that the Suns have won at least once against each of the league's 29 teams this season. Simply put, the sun wins the hemp.
The last time they won the league was in 2006-07, when the team finished 61-21, second in the West.
It seems that this season the Suns will make history, after all, their record this season has reached 53 wins and 13 losses, which is likely to set a record.
And it's no exaggeration to say they're the most stable team in the league this season.
So far this season, the Suns have a record of 22 wins and 9 losses against a team with a winning percentage of more than 50%, the best in the league. When the Suns faced a team with a winning percentage of less than 50%, the record was 31 wins and 4 losses, which was also the best in the league. In addition, when they played the game at a critical moment, the record was 27 wins and 5 losses, which was still the best in the league.
Even though Paul missed eight games with injuries and Booker missed four games due to safety deals, the Suns' record has not fallen far, with their last eight games being 5-3.
Lock up the playoffs 16 games early, the sun is out of the west, don't worry about the Lakers.
