After six consecutive losses, the Wizards, ranked eleventh in the East, returned to home back-to-back and ushered in the same back-to-back battle, the ninth-ranked Lakers in the West.
In terms of the Wizards, Kuzma is absent due to injury, and this battle is led by Bo shen single-core, and whether the remnants of the Wizards can defend the home field will undoubtedly face great challenges and tests.
On the other hand, on the Lakers side, Vogel changed again, Stanley Johnson + Reeves returned to the starting lineup, and whether James can break the record this battle has also become a major attraction of this game!
However, after 4 quarters of fighting, with the excellent performance of James + Westbrook, the Lakers, although in the first three quarters, once overpowered the Wizards, achieved a huge advantage of as many as 16 points.
However, at the moment of the final showdown, Bo Shen ushered in an outbreak, leading the Wizards to play a wave of 12-3 counterattack frenzy, instantly reversing the situation on the court and achieving a score reversal.
Although Wei Shao + Munch hit three points in a row to try to save the game, HeHe Bo took the knife and hit the key three points, helping the Wizards to gain an 8-point lead and lock in the victory in one fell swoop.
The Wizards, who finally withstood the pressure, also defeated the Lakers at home with a 127-119 reversal, staging a big upset at the same time, but also ending the team's losing streak!
In this game at home, although the Wizards once fell into a passive situation of 16 points behind in the score, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 7 people scoring in double figures, completing a reversal + upset.
In the case of the main forces such as Pop + Hachimura + Avdia + Kispert, each performing its own duties, the team ace Bo Shen, and the two major tigers, Gaford + Satoransky, are particularly critical!
In this game, Bo shen went low and high, and in the first half, bo shen ushered in an explosion to score 21 points, bombing the team's high 27 points, plus 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal all-round performance.
Among them, in the last quarter, he suddenly shot a single quarter to score 16 points, not only stepped forward, led the Wizards to fight back, but also almost single-handedly rewrote the trend of the game!
In addition, as the team's inner tower, Garford's play in this game also played a crucial role.
In this campaign, Garford was well attacked and defended, came off the bench for 20 minutes, and handed over 17 points+ 6 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 1 block on 7-of-9 shooting, successfully holding the Wizards' inner line!
Of course, the Wizards were able to reverse the Lakers in this game, and the performance of Tiger satoran Satoransky on the bench was also indispensable.
In this game, Satoransky was ordered to play on the bench for 26 minutes, 6 shots and 6 shots, and contributed 16 points+ 3 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals.
More importantly, throughout the game, Satoransky has not made a mistake personally, and it can be said that with a very efficient personal performance, he helped the Wizards defend the home field!
On the other hand, on the Lakers side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and was finally reversed, and the performance of the game that was lost by 8 points obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Lakers, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights and gains!
After all, as the two cores of the team, the play of James + Westbrook in this game is indeed remarkable.
This game James continued the fiery feel of the previous game, shooting a game-high 38 points, plus a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
The good partner Wei Shao also played well, handing over a full performance of 22 points + 10 rebounds + 8 assists + 1 steal + 1 block.
Although it failed to help the Lakers win the victory, there is one thing to say, the excellent performance of James + Westbrook in this game has indeed brought great pressure and trouble to the Wizards!
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that after scoring 38 points in this campaign, James's career regular season total scores have officially surpassed Carl Malone and risen to the second place in the history of the league, setting a great personal record and ushering in a major milestone in his career!
It's just that for the Lakers, Vogel's adjustment in the platoon arrangement is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and as the head coach of the team, Vogel frequently changes the starting lineup, and indeed needs to introspect himself!
