Purple And Gold Los Angeles Lakers poor overall performance, let them in the final stage of the regular season, but also need to go all out for a play-off place, although the fans have no expectations for them to impact the championship, but if even the playoff qualification can not be obtained, it will definitely make the Big Three become the laughingstock of NBA history, for James, Thick Brow brother and Westbrook who have been selected as the 75 stars this season, they will certainly do their best to avoid such "shame", in the last regular season with the Raptors, Westbrook in the final moments of the fourth quarter steals plus a three-point tie, helped the team tenaciously drag the game into overtime, and led the team to win to end the losing streak, in this back-to-back game, the Lakers encountered the challenge of the Wizards, the last game to find the confident Westbrook, let the fans see the style of the triple-double king again, and James also surpassed the legendary Carl Malone in this game, but the last quarter of Porzingis's rampage, let the Wizards in the case of 16 points behind, Defeated the Lakers with a 127-119 comeback!
This Wizards home and Lakers game for many players on both sides, are very special, last season Westbrook led the Wizards to break into the playoffs, but after the end of the season, the Wizards and Lakers traded, Westbrook joined forces with James, and Kuzma and Pope came to Washington, but from the current point of view, this transaction is undoubtedly a very failure, the Lakers withdrew from the championship ranks, and the Wizards also lost hope of advancing to the playoffs.
This campaign Kuzma due to injury absence can not be at home against the old club, so that the overall strength of the Wizards has declined significantly, which is also the reason why the Lakers in the game, once established a 16-point lead, but they played a very smooth overall offense, the whole game wizards a total of seven players scored in double figures, of which the trade deadline to join the team Porzingis, in the first three quarters of the performance is not good, the key moments in the last quarter frequently stepped forward to score 16 points, to help the team lock in the win, Boshin contributed 27 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
Before the start of this game, James was only 20 points away from The Second Place in the NBA's all-time scoring list, And the probability of James's performance and ability to complete the game was very large, and James did not disappoint the fans in this game, playing 35.5 minutes in the whole game, hitting 16 goals in 29 shots, bombing 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, but only scored 5 points in the last quarter, encountering "mileage sadness".
A very important reason for Wei Shao's poor performance after coming to Los Angeles is that he has no confidence, but after playing an excellent personal performance in the last game, Wei Shao's self-confidence has improved significantly, hitting 10 goals in 15 shots in the whole game, contributing a quasi-triple-double of 22 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, but unfortunately the excellent performance can not help the team win.
Since the beginning of this season, the Lakers' defense has been criticized by fans, and there is still no improvement to this day, the game Porzingis frequently hit the inside line at the end of the season, once again exposing the weak defense of the Purple and Gold Army, if you can't pay attention to the defense, and everyone contributes on the defensive end, the Lakers will most likely miss the play-offs!
