The NBA regular season ushered in a focus battle, the Lakers at home against the Pelicans, the two teams did not divide the winner until the last minute, with James's absolute draw of three points, the Lakers lost 111-114 to the Pelicans, suffered 5 consecutive losses, a little far from the playoffs. The two teams played very well in this game, but unfortunately the Lakers failed to grasp the last moment, and successive mistakes let the opponent take the victory.
After the Lakers lost this game, they have suffered 5 consecutive defeats, still ranked 11th in the West, and if they want to enter the playoffs, they have to look at others. At present, the Lakers are one win behind the tenth-place Spurs, and with 5 games left, the Lakers must win 2 more games than the Spurs to surpass their opponents, which depends on the Face of the Spurs. Perhaps knowing what the outcome of this game means, the Big Three are also very upset when James is absolutely three-point missing.
In the final 9.4 seconds, McCollum hit two free throws to help the team take a three-point lead, and the Lakers wanted to keep the suspense alive and only hit a three-pointer. The Lakers' tactical arrangement this time is also a bit complicated, first handed to Augustine, then passed to Munch, and then handed over to James, who first shook away Nance Jr., but the opponent did not lose position, and the continuous shaking also made James lose his rhythm, and finally made a hasty shot, directly threw a three-not-stick, and the game ended.
After shooting three points, James also wanted to return to the dressing room at the first time, but he was shouted by the Pelicans' little Nance halfway through, and then the two embraced, and then James hugged and greeted the other players. In this campaign, James scored 38 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 13-of-23 shooting, scoring 21 points in the third quarter, but unfortunately failed to continue in the final quarter, scoring only 2 points.
Davis, on the other hand, directly bowed his head and walked towards the locker room without turning his head. It was his first game since his comeback, played 36 minutes, and still wanted to lead the team to victory, shooting 8 of 17 and 6 of 9 from the free throw line, with a total of 23 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. But in the last quarter he was not in good shape, may be a little tired, 1 of 5 to get 4 points, and there are two missed penalties.
Wei Shao, who was sitting on the court, turned his head and walked away, walking to the dressing room after James missed three points. At that time, Westbrook had already committed 6 fouls, and the Lakers' layout was also problematic, Johnson did not foul Murphy, and Westbrook, who committed the last 5 fouls, could only foul McCollum. After the game, Wei Shao sat off the court and watched the Lakers' final attack, he did not stand and watch the ball like other players, still sitting there. Westbrook played 30 minutes, 5-of-15, with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
