Beijing time on March 28, the NBA regular season continues, today the West ushered in a focus war, the ninth Lakers in the West challenged the Pelicans in the West, this game if the Pelicans win, then they will be successfully promoted to the ninth position in the division, in the regular season with 7-8 games left, this victory is crucial for both teams, in the first three quarters the Lakers have been dominant, and finally the team turned over in the last quarter, losing to the Pelicans 116-108.
This game loss can be accepted, because the old Zhan sprained his ankle in the second quarter, and then the state was obviously not good, but even so, in order to win this card position war, the old Zhan also fought, fighting for 42 minutes, 14 of 27 shots, 7 of 13 three points, 39 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block data, only 2 of 8 shots in the last quarter, the hero was late, although old Zhan was still in the top five levels of the league, but injuries and age also let him not lead the team to victory today.
Now Wei Shao played very reasonably, but without his wild, but also let him not play the standard he should, this campaign 15 shots 8, three points 5 2 to get 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists data, in addition to the old Zhan to play the best today is Munch, the whole game 17 shots 9, three points 8 2 got 23 points and 6 assists data, this game loss is actually understandable, after all, old Zhan is injured, compared to losing, there may be two problems that they should worry about the most.
First of all, James's ankle problem, in an interview after the game, Old Zhan said: "For me personally, I lost all my explosive power, basically unable to break through the inside line as desired, which also makes me can only rely on the outside line to shoot", even if old Zhan is now better than before, but it is undeniable that his main way of scoring and tearing defense still relies on personal breakthrough killing, and the injury undoubtedly affects him.
After the reporter asked whether he would miss the game because of this, Old Zhan said: "I hope not to miss the game, because I hate to be absent, that is not my nature, I have begun the process of treatment, let's see how the next game feels", old Zhan's professional quality has nothing to say, now the Lakers have a life in the balance, if this season even the playoffs can not enter, it is estimated that this will become one of the biggest slots in his career.
If old Zhan is absent from them and they may fall out of the playoffs, after losing this game first, they have fallen to the tenth place in the West, and secondly, the Spurs behind them are now also very promising to surpass the Lakers, now the Lakers are ranked tenth in the West with a record of 31 wins and 43 losses, the Spurs are ranked 11th in the West with a record of 30 wins and 44 losses, the two teams are only 1 win difference, it can be said that a game may make the Lakers fall out of the top ten, old Zhan's injury and current ranking, both of which are bad news for the Lakers.
In fact, the Lakers' current problems are well understood, to the Lakers fans to say a rational word, even if the thick eyebrows return to the championship, after all, the team's role player strength here, today's game After the game Munch was interviewed about the team, he said: "Such a loss is very frustrating, as we lost previous games, all the losses feel very bad, we can't expect to be able to defeat a good team in the last quarter with only 14 points." ”
This is the current situation of the Lakers, everyone is working hard, but the strength is here, 14 points in the last quarter and the injured old Zhan got 4 points and an assist, if they meet a strong team, their defensive ability and execution are stronger than the Pelicans, can you expect to win? Maybe role players will break out one or two games, but the overall strength of the Lakers role players is clear to everyone, Anthony Howard is old, just a Munch is not bad, other Rivers, Augustine, Ellington and others are pitchers, functional aspects have shortcomings.
Finally, talk about the record created by Old Zhan in this game, this game Old Zhan scored 13 sports battle goals to surpass Carl Malone, rose to the second place in history, and when Old Zhan scored 17 points in this game, his career total score broke through to the 37,000 point mark, 37 years old and 88 days scored 37,000 points is also the youngest, in fact, from 1000-37,000 points The youngest Mr. is Old Zhan, after all, high school students, plus strength in this, he has too many advantages, It is also a manifestation of talent and strength.
