On March 19, Beijing time, the NBA regular season game continued to compete, and the high-profile Los Angeles Lakers came to challenge the Toronto Raptors on the road. In the previous meeting between the two sides, the fiery Raptors only used one section to beat the Lakers to the bottom, so before the start of this game, many American media were optimistic that the Raptors could defend their home field. However, after the game began, the Lakers took the lead on the court and extended the lead to as many as 11 points at one point during the second quarter. However, in the subsequent game, the Raptors took turns to attack the Lakers with the front line "Hum Ha Second General" Siakam and Barnes, and once saw the dawn of winning, but in the end, Wei Shao, who had been in a relatively low state before, shot a crucial flat ball, leaving the Lakers with hope of winning.
However, after entering overtime, Bradley, who had once fallen out of the rotation lineup, became an important figure in the game, and at the key moment of overtime, Bradley hit a decisive three-pointer worth 10,000 gold in the flank receiving a pass, and in the next two free throws, he scored five consecutive points, and finally helped the team beat the Toronto Raptors 128-123 to get a valuable road victory. It is worth mentioning that in the previous 6 meetings between the two sides, the Raptors maintained a 100% winning rate, so this important victory not only swept away the Lakers' current haze, but also further alleviated the team's embarrassing law of "never beating the Raptors".
In this game, gabriel, who started the game, undoubtedly became one of the heroes of the Lakers this night, and in the limited playing time of 24 minutes, Gabriel shot 7 of 8, extremely efficiently cut 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter of the game, Gabriel, who got the first start, shot 6 of 6 and scored 14 points with a 100 percent shooting rate, helping the Lakers play a fantastic start. However, in the overtime tiebreaker, Gabriel made another achievement on the defensive end, blocking VanVleet's layup and helping the Lakers win this crucial victory.
Born in Sudan, Gabriel is only 24 years old this year, after entering the NBA league, he has played for the Kings, Blazers, Pelicans and Clippers, but no matter which team, the relatively rough gabriel is difficult to enter the team's rotation list, over time, Gabriel, who is in the current year, has gradually become an outcast of the NBA league, obscure, and eventually no one cares. However, when he once wanted to give up, the Los Angeles Lakers, who lacked a forward height, threw an olive branch to him, and after joining the Lakers, Gabriel's positive attitude to the game was also affirmed by many Lakers fans.
After the game, Lakers coach Vogel praised Gabriel in an interview with the media, Vogel said: "Gabriel's performance impressed me, tonight he played a really good game. He brings fresh blood to the team and his technique is very solid. Subsequently, the Lakers core LeBron James also gave Gabriel a high evaluation in the media interview, James believes that Gabriel's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is crucial for the entire team. In the previous few games, the Lakers' total collapse in the first quarter has become a major problem for the team at the moment, after sending Howard, Gabriel, James, Munch and Westbrook's new starting lineup, Vogel finally tasted a hint of the sweetness of the success of the change, in terms of rim protection, the Lakers have indeed made eye-catching progress in this game.
