Kuzma challenges the Lakers
The Lakers are difficult, Wei Shao is also difficult, at this moment, both sides are estimated to have some regrets, if there is no offseason deal, maybe now, everyone is not so much trouble. But all this has happened, regret will not help, the Lakers and Wei Shao can do, is to make it up, until the next offseason. However, Kuzma and Pope proved themselves in the Washington Wizards, carrying the pot in the Lakers last season, and now they have become the wizards' home stars, which is really surprising!
Bill was injured, Dinwiddie was traded, so Kuzma became the boss of the team, Pope became his right and left arm, and the two Lakers veterans led the team, and the data performance can be described as very good. Even with Porzingis' comeback, the Wizards still have tactical arrangements around Kuzma and Pop. This time facing the old owners, Kuzma and Pop, must hope to show the best performance.
James rules the game
Although the Washington Wizards have 2.21 meters of big center Porzingis, Vogel still chose to let James play as the starting center. James's personal ability is naturally no problem, 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-5 shooting, Munch also has 7 points on 3-of-4 shooting, and the Lakers have 26 points in a single quarter, once taking a 9-point lead, but after the Wizards' bench came on the court, they still helped the team to equalize the score. After returning from the second quarter, James had 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 3-of-4 shooting, but Westbrook was really bad.
In the first quarter, Wei Shao shot 0 of 2, and in the second quarter, he shot 1 of 7, with only 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and even met with boos from home fans. The Lakers scored just 26 points in the second quarter, while the Wizards blasted down 33 points, and at the end of the half, the Lakers trailed the Wizards by seven points 52-59. In the second half, James completely took over the game, scoring 19 points and 2 rebounds on 6-of-10 shooting, including 2 minutes and 30 seconds to score 12 points. Under james' leadership, the Lakers blasted down 32 points in the third quarter and successfully surpassed the Wizards by 7 points.
In the final quarter of the game, the Wizards once chased the two-point difference, James could only return to the court, up is to withdraw from the shooting to stabilize the situation, and then Munch hit 2 consecutive three-pointers, James scored 4 consecutive points, stretching the point difference to 10 points. The 37-year-old James, on 5-of-5 shooting in the final quarter, blasted down 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 122-109 victory over the Washington Wizards at home and successfully refused a three-game losing streak.
Westbrook's home stadium was booed again
James 50+7+6, Lakers reverse Wizards! Westbrook shot 2-of-11 and Kuzma proved himself. LeBron James, 37, has once again proven himself capable of turning the game around. Shooting 18-of-25 from the field, 6-of-9 from three-point range, 8-of-8 from the free throw line, and 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, it was simply unstoppable. This is also james after 6 days, once again got 50+ points, the position of the first person in the league, he does not give, no one is allowed to grab. Wei Shao made 2-of-11 shooting, with only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, which at one point made the home fans boo.
LeBron James delivered a perfect performance, and Lakers veteran Kuzma, this game also proved himself again, 9 of 18 shots, with 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and also greeted James after the game and exchanged for a long time. However, Pop did not feel good, only 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 1-of-6 shooting, Porzingis had only 14 points and 14 rebounds on 3-of-13 shooting, Keyiport had 21 points and 2 rebounds, and Hachimura also had 15 points and 6 rebounds. Losing to such a James really has no excuses.
