On March 24, Beijing time, the Lakers lost to Philadelphia 121-126 at home, and this game played back and forth between the Lakers and Philadelphia without LeBron James and even once made the home fans feel that they smelled the smell of upset. Dwight Howard faced the league's top center Joel Embiid with a perfect 24+8 statistic, and the Lakers' five-man double-doubles + four 20+, it was an exciting game, after all, Philadelphia is the top three in the East.
LeBron hung up the free card because of the swelling of his left knee, Vogel let Howard play 28 minutes in order to cope with embiid's strength, 28 minutes is a new high since The Kings on December 1, Howard's appearance time is a new high, 9 of 14 in the game, 9 of 14, 24 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, shooting 64.2%. Embiid scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks on 11-of-19 shooting, of course, the emperor is better, but Howard has also made up for the absence of old Zhan.
Westbrook this battle should be more praiseworthy, the lakers left 47 seconds left in the final quarter to fall behind by as many as 8 points, 39 seconds before the end of the game to break through to create Harris foul to complete 2 + 0, and then Westbrook stole Harden again easily to get a layup, 32 seconds before the end of the game to help the Lakers narrow the point difference to 4 points! 4 points in 7 seconds.
In the last quarter, Wei Shao was 5 of 6 in the single quarter, 2 of 5 of free throws, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, the Lakers scored 30 points, he alone won at least 18 points, such a performance is already dazzling enough, right?
The whole game is 33 minutes, 10 of 20, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 24 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, shooting 50%, shooting 40% of the three-point shooting rate, although there are 7 mistakes, but the quasi-triple-double data of 24+9+8 is not flawed, right?
It is worth mentioning that this campaign is also a milestone night for Westbrook, his regular season total score surpassed Lakers star Elgin Baylor to 32nd place in history, and the loss of this game is not back. Compared with Harden's 37 minutes, 7 of 18, 6 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, 24 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, shooting 38.9%, and shooting 17.4% from three-point range, Westbrook was significantly better.
In the last four games, Wei Shao has won 20+ data, 22+10+10, 22+10+8, 20+11+4, 24+9+8, and the shooting rate is more than 50%, the three-point shooting rate is more than 45%, who still says that the turtles can't do it?
