The Lakers lost again, the NBA regular season, the Lakers faced the Raptors were defeated, trailing by 21 points in the first quarter, although in the end they struggled to catch up, but they were still invincible, James played back-to-back games for 40 minutes, scored 30 points, still became an empty slash, the Lakers suffered 2 consecutive losses, with a 29-39 record in the West 9th. And the 10th Pelicans are getting closer and closer, the playoffs and even the playoffs are in danger for them, James is rarely angry, angrily rebuking his teammates in the game, and after the game, he directly left the game, refusing to accept an interview, maybe James's mentality really collapsed, his efforts were in vain again, he could not accept such a situation.
From the perspective of the whole game, the Raptors play is simple, the Lakers play is simpler, there is no cooperation, the shooting is not accurate, the opening is only three minutes, only James scored 2 points, the Raptors fully blossomed, 9-0 and then played 12-0, the Lakers' defense is like a virtual set, the outside line is completely sluggish, relying on Wei Shao to break through, the Lakers only scored 12 points in the first quarter, and let the Raptors get 33 points, such a huge gap, so that the Lakers can not see any hope of winning the game.
In the second quarter, the outbreak of Tucker Jr. narrowed the point gap for the Lakers, but in addition to Tucker Jr., other outside players did not score, the Raptors used the inside and outside line to cooperate, the point difference was maintained at about 18 points, and in the third quarter, the team made many mistakes, the young Reeves felt unable to adapt to the intensity of the game, offensive fouls continued, James broke out to hit three points continuously, the Raptors gave back for the first time, the point difference was widened again, in the last quarter, the Lakers did not give up the game, Tucker Jr., James hit the middle and long range shots continuously, but the Raptors, Both VanVleet and Trent have excellent performances, and in the end, the Lakers lost 11 points to the Raptors and suffered two consecutive losses.
A loss once again saw the Lakers' sluggish state and lack of fighting attitude, James once again got the highest score in the game, played 40 points, 11 shots, 4 three-pointers, 7 free throws, got 30 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, back-to-back games, age 37, the whole game tried their best, but teammates could not provide corresponding help, the only highlight was Tucker Jr., got the second highest 20 points on the team, starting young man Reeves was ashamed of Vogel's trust in him, shooting was not good, and the defense was also lineupd , scored 3 points, after the last game angrily criticized the whole team Munch, this game continued to slump, only scored 8 points, plus or minus the lowest 28 in the whole game, perhaps when talking about others, you should reflect on your own problems.
Wei Shao really fights, plays 35 minutes, 10 shots 4, gets 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, only 1 mistake in the whole game, he also tries his best at both ends of the attack and defense, the ball is insufficient, he actively cooperates with his teammates, but other players are also depressed, so Wei Shao faces many choices on the field, he improves his defense, the offensive end gives up too many shots, reduces mistakes, cooperates with teammates, but this Kind of Wei Shao, is not the omnipotent Wei Shao, expressionless, more passionless running, the Lakers lost Wesser can't be blamed at all, because he also put in the effort, but the whole team really didn't meet the criteria for winning.
Raptors 6 players scored in double figures, three players scored more than 20 points, the whole team assisted 24 times, rebounded 64, rebounded 19 in the front court, and the Lakers rebounded 43 total rebounds, so the rebound gap, the Raptors do not want to win are difficult, Barnes, Siakam, VanVleet, Trent have excellent performance, in the face of the Lakers' weak defense, they can all score, fight to be completely above the Lakers.
Losing is a good thing for the lakers now, and only by constantly losing miserably can the Lakers management make changes.
