On March 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers challenged the Cavaliers away. For the Lakers, this is a game that cannot be lost, after the last loss to the Wizards, the Lakers' Western ranking has dropped to the tenth place in the West, the Spurs behind them are in hot pursuit, the Lakers also want to maintain the home qualification of the playoffs, no matter from which point of view, the Lakers must win the game. In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers quickly grasped the initiative, at most directly behind 14 points, fortunately, Augustine suddenly broke out, helping the Lakers to bite the score, the second quarter of the game James mastered the situation on the court, with the Lakers to reverse the situation, subsequently, the Lakers under the leadership of James did not give the Cavaliers the opportunity to reverse, and finally the Lakers won 131-120 away to the Cavaliers, with the Pelicans next door lost to the Hornets, the Lakers returned to the ninth in the West.
In the whole game, the Lakers as a whole performed well, for the Cavaliers' big lineup, Vogel also made targeted changes, re-mentioned Howard to the starting position, but have to admit that Howard's performance on the court is not too good, of course, we are not saying that Howard's performance is not positive enough, but when he is on the court, it greatly affects James's play, the first quarter and the third quarter, Howard is on the court, but the Lakers performed relatively badly, With Howard off the court, the Lakers' offense has been more fluid, and almost a season has passed, and the Lakers' five-small lineup has finally begun to bear fruit.
Everyone knows that the Cavaliers' big lineup is their most powerful weapon, but after the whole game, the Lakers actually grabbed 41 rebounds, while the Cavaliers only had 38, only this, the Lakers have the initiative in the enthusiasm, and the best performance today is Wei Shao, although James is very strong, but James's personal ability must be limited, and the facts also prove that when James brushed out the high score data, the Lakers' record was not ideal. The key to the Lakers' victory today is the play of Wei Shao in Xiao Feng's view, the whole game, Wei Shao got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, it is worth mentioning that there was only 1 mistake, plus or minus as high as +23, the highest in the whole team. After the whole game, the Lakers sent 34 assists, additional 7 steals, on the surface, the Lakers in today's game more active, it is because of this enthusiasm, let the Cavaliers forget their advantages, I don't know if you remember, the last game Porzingis alone broke the Lakers' inner line, the Cavaliers obviously have a stronger inside advantage, helplessly fell into the Lakers' trap, and the Lakers played a soaring score war.
In the whole game, the defense of the two teams is not too good, the Lakers are like this, can not attack, can not defend, can not attack, now Vogel is using a broken way of playing, can not take into account at the same time, but the Cavaliers are different, they have always been a team with good attack and defense, with the loss of this game, they are only 1 win difference from the 7th Raptors, if they continue to lose, it is likely to fall into the playoffs. Next, it depends on whether this group of young players can keep the fruits of their victory, of course, for the Lakers, they can not relax, although a victory allows them to temporarily find a little self-confidence, but please do not forget that the Lakers' goal is the playoffs, this attitude of only attacking and not defending is doomed to be difficult to go far.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
