At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Denver Nuggets. Before the game, the Lakers had lost 5 straight, and there was only a theoretical possibility left before they returned to the playoff area. While the Nuggets are sixth in the West, they have only one game to win against. Coupled with their last game being reversed by the Warriors, the Nuggets need a win to quench their thirst.
As a result, both teams are desperate to win this game and plan for their respective playoff situations.
In the last game, James made a hasty comeback but still lost to the Pelicans, and after the game, James said that his ankle was still sore, so he did not see James in this game. As a result, Davis had to stand up and carry the team.
From the beginning, Davis showed his super scoring ability, rubbing opponents on the inside line and gaining the initiative for the Lakers. But the Nuggets' "pork belly essence" Jokic is not a vegetarian, and soon became the Nuggets' spear and shield at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends with color. But the appearance of the Lakers' veteran Cousins upset this balance, and the Nuggets quickly bit the score and engaged in a tug-of-war with the Lakers.
In the third quarter, the Lakers, who were easy to fight again, adjusted their state, took the lead, and soon took the lead, but the Nuggets player Jokic once again became the pillar of the team, repeatedly attacking the Lakers' interior line, and making a big contribution to the Nuggets' stalemate.
Then in the fourth quarter, Cousins was once again the team's miracle soldier, attacking opponents' interior scores in a row. Jokic took advantage of the chase and helped the Nuggets establish a double-digit lead. In the end, the Lakers, who had gone, gave the victory to the Nuggets and hated 6 consecutive losses.
In this game, Thick Brow scored 28 points, 9 boards, 8 assists, 2 breaks and 3 caps, and Wei Shao also had 27 points, 10 boards, 7 assists and 2 breaks. The Nuggets are Jokic with 38 points, 18 boards, 6 assists, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 blocks, Button 25 points, 2 assists, and Gordon 24 points, 8 boards and 3 assists. In addition, the Wizards Cousins played well in this game, scoring 14 points, 3 boards and 3 assists.
Players on both teams played pretty well, but the Lakers were unable to get more points before the end of the game, losing 118-129. There are currently two wins between the Lakers and the tenth-place Spurs in the West, while the Nuggets have followed suit to become fifth in the West.
In fact, the Lakers' theory of qualifying for the playoffs may also be very unrealistic, which requires the Spurs to lose consecutive games to the Nuggets and Timberwolves, and the Lakers can win the remaining 3 opponents, the Suns, warriors and Thunder.
In fact, davis' understanding of the future of the team can be felt from his post-game speech. He said: "The most frustrating part of this season is not knowing how good this team really can be. ”
According to statistics, Thick Brow has only played 21 games with LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
