On April 6, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Lakers made a guest appearance to challenge the Suns. The Lakers still have theoretical hopes of advancing to the playoffs before the game, but the process of the game is desperate. After a difficult resistance half, the Lakers finally collapsed in the third quarter without surprise. At one point, they were hit by the opponent's 33-12 attack wave, and the point difference once reached 26 points. The game also basically lost suspense, James has left the game early, and Anthony's mentality has also exploded, deliberately pushing down opponents.
Two wins behind the Spurs, James may feel hopeless and continue to truce. He is also dressed as a rich man on the sidelines, which is quite a camera.5 In the first quarter, the Lakers played more tenaciously, leading 31-28 in the single quarter. But the gap in strength between the two sides began to show in the second half of the second quarter, and the Suns quickly caught up and rebounded the score, and at the end of the half, they were already 63-58 and overtook five points.
In the third quarter, the storm suddenly changed, I don't know if the Lakers learned in the midfield that the Spurs have won, and the team's mood seems to be suddenly dissipated. Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers played quite casually and badly. The Suns, led by Booker and Ayton, unleashed a frenzied 33-12 attack wave! The point difference instantly came to 26 points. At this point, the game also completely lost suspense.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers have trailed by 18 points 80-98. And according to the state of the Lakers, they have no desire to resist. In the fourth quarter, the sun sent a substitute and announced the receipt of the troops in advance. But even on the bench, the Lakers are powerless. James left early, desperate. And Anthony also deliberately pushed down opponents in the game, which is very rare.
Earlier, the Spurs upset the Nuggets 116-97, and after winning three consecutive wins, they were already 2.5 wins ahead of the Lakers. As long as the Lakers lose to the Suns, the Spurs will lock in a top 10 playoff spot. After the game, the old coach Popovich also rarely laughed. It has to be said that it is reasonable to leave a play-off seat for the Spurs, and the Lakers have paid for the poor performance throughout the season.
