108-129！ The Lone Ranger swallowed two consecutive defeats; back-to-back battles, the Lakers finally fell apart; the "Brother No Letter" Bucks defeated the Timberwolves, and the Seventh in the West continued to soar.
The youngster scored 12 points in a single quarter and led the team to a wave of collapse opponents
After a battle with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lone Ranger rushes to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets. After a period of slump in the previous period, the Hornets gradually returned to the state of the game, against the Lone Ranger before the three games, Charlotte is able to win the opponent (the Hornets in the first three games can average 16 points per game, three-point shooting rate can reach 45% per game), although the Lone Ranger has the advantage of paper strength, but who wins and who loses is really difficult to say.
The Lone Ranger's first three games were really not very good in terms of defensive intensity, and the defensive efficiency could only rank seventh from the bottom of all teams in the same period. That's why they dragged the game into a pivotal moment in two consecutive games. This game against the Hornets, as soon as the opening was shot by the opponent, the Hornets players hit a series of difficult goals, a wave of 22-6 almost replicated the raptors hit the Lakers a few days ago.
Continuous away journeys have also made the Lone Ranger very tired. With the exception of Doncic,37 points per game, the other Lone Rangers did perform lacklusterly, with none of the supporting cast players shooting more than 35 percent from three-point range, frequently being snatched by opponents, and playing into converted offense (the two teams' fast-break scores were 20:9 in the whole game), and the Lone Rangers were caught up in a large number of singles (the number of assists in the whole game was 15 less than the opponent).
"Everybody's scoring, and when we play like this, it's really hard for us to beat," was what Hornets youngster PJ-Washington said in a post-game interview. Statistically, none of the Hornets scored more than 24 points in this game, but they had 5 players score more than 16 points, and in the third quarter, Washington played an important role, cutting 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, leading the team to a wave of 22-8 small climax, widening the point difference to more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense early....
Young Master Wei continued the feeling of long-range shooting, and James met with mileage sadness again
The toronto raptors were beaten in overtime the day before, and today they are going to challenge the Wizards at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles senior team is really tired this time. The Washington Wizards have not been easy lately, they just fought the Knicks in New York to the end the day before, the second half of the game, the Knicks always had the advantage of the score, and finally with Barrett's two free throws, they beat the Wizards by 3 points.
Speaking of this game, after the opening whistle sounded, the Lakers were the faster to enter the game state, they found the Wizards' weaknesses in the inner defense, frantically impacting the inside line, the first quarter of the game was halfway through, the visiting team already had an absolute advantage in the scoring of the penalty area (18:2 in the half quarter), and their shooting percentage throughout the quarter was close to 66%, once leading the opponent by as many as 16 points.
The Wizards used a three-guard lineup for most of the game, and their three guards were basically white players, and the physical condition was really not good enough, and the Lakers' players could easily find the misalignment. "Young Master Wei" likes to play this kind of team the most, because in the face of this kind of opponent's defense, he can easily break into the paint area and give his teammates a share. Throughout the game, Young Master Wei shot 5 of 6 in the Paint Zone, and gave a total of 8 assists.
His long-range shooting feel also extended from Toronto to Washington. On this familiar field, Young Master Wei has repeatedly completed a 45° mid-range ball-holding jump shot, with a hit rate of as much as 50%. The first two shots on the three-point line were also all hits, and the total score of the game was 22 points, and the production and efficiency were very satisfactory.
LeBron continued to make strong outputs, scoring a total of 38+10+6 on 16-of-29 shooting in the game, of course, more noteworthy than such a large double-double, LeBron James in the second half of the second quarter, through an empty cut to the basket, completed the scoring list for Malone to successfully promote to the second place in NBA history score list. After completing this feat, the wizards arena audience gave a standing ovation to the great player.
However, the Lakers ultimately failed to complete the sweep of the Wizards this season. Porzingis suddenly woke up after his debut in the final quarter (he struggled with foul problems in the first three quarters) and played his due aggressiveness, scoring 16 points in seven shots in a single quarter, shooting in the far, middle and near areas, leading the team to complete the rebound in the final minutes, beating the opponent by 127-119, eight points.
138-119！ Towns led the team to victory over the opponent with four three-pointers in a single game
The Minnesota Timberwolves, seventh in the West, continue to soar, losing one game since March, ranking in the top five of the league in terms of three-point shooting, offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, making them the best team since March. This game is at home, and when it comes to bucks without "alphabet brothers", the Timberwolves should be quite sure to win this game.
The Timberwolves Triplet scored 66 points, 19 rebounds and 18 assists in the game without a single player playing more than 34 minutes. The terrible thing is that the performance of the three people on the offensive end is very balanced, and the shooting rate in the far, middle and near areas is very objective, especially Towns, who in this game he shot 4 of 6 three-pointers and shot the big center opposite - Lopez is very uncomfortable, the latter only played 20 minutes in the whole game, the plus-minus value fell directly to the lowest -18 in the whole game, and the data is so poor in large part because of Downs's excellent performance.
Without the "alphabet brother", the Bucks lacked the most critical characters to score, Middleton, Holliday, Portis these players used to play around the "Greek monsters", this game without the core of the team, playing are very struggling, no player on the team scored more than 20 points. On the other hand, the three-point rain has been falling non-stop, the third quarter hit 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, playing a 27-11 climax to expand the point difference to about 25 points, the Bucks who played on the road were back to the sky, and finally lost the game 119-138, so the Timberwolves also completed the sweep of the Bucks this season.
