Beijing time on April 11, with the NBA playoffs approaching, the Los Angeles Lakers are finally going to end the season awkwardly, today in the face of the Early Playoff Spot Nuggets, before the game Vogel was also ridiculed by fans This game will be his final battle with the Lakers.
The two teams faced an outcome that did not matter whether it was all the main force and all the substitutes were on the bench, which was naturally a good thing for the team, but it was a painful game for the broadcast tv station and the fans. Seeing today's game before the season starts, no one will believe that the significance of this game will be so. You must know that in that season in 2020, the Lakers and nuggets played extremely badly in the playoffs, and it was after crossing the nuggets that the Lakers were able to rush out of the West!
At present, it has been less than 2 years, and it has long been a human being. So, the two sides also relaxed their mentality to play, the first quarter of the game, both sides did not have any defense, the offensive end of the bench did not disappoint the fans, although there is no superstar, but the ornamental play is still OK, the first quarter of the game Lakers bombed 36 points, leading the Nuggets 3 points into the second quarter.
This tournament, the two sides still play back and forth, I have to say that the benches rarely have such a performance opportunity, naturally want to seize the opportunity to perform well, and strive to find a good contract for the next season, the Lakers' Munch, Tucker, Andrington are all full of momentum to fight, outside the three-point line is also open hands, the breakthrough is also extremely sharp, leading a wave of little brothers to play several waves of attack, the second quarter is a 33 points. The Nuggets' benches are naturally unwilling, and Jeff Green, Cousins and Forbes have also shown their immediate combat strength, leaving a good impression in the eyes of coaches and trying to buy more playing time for the playoffs.
Cousins played today is really eye-catching, the presence on the inside line is full, especially in the foul is really open,On the inside line of various hard chisels, the feel is also very good, angry brush a wave of presence.
Both sides played well offensively at the end of the first half, drawing 69-69 into the second half. Although these 2 games are substitutes, the visual impact of having a look can indeed be, and it also makes fans look a little valuable. In particular, some of the Nuggets' benches, some familiar faces of the past, seeing them now fight so hard for a survival contract, have to lament the importance of hard work and dreams.
At the beginning of the second half, the feeling on the field suddenly changed, the Lakers offense became very slow, the sound of iron became the sound of the third quarter, it can be seen that even the strength of the bench is a big gap, the first half can also see a variety of fairy goals, this session is very difficult, the Nuggets are indeed a playoff team, the depth of the bench is still better than the Lakers, the Lakers scored at 24 points, but they exploded a new scoring high of 39 points.
The fourth quarter of the game Lakers after the start of the game was pinched by the Nuggets, did not play 2 minutes, the point difference was instantly pulled to 16 points, but in the face of such a large point difference, the Lakers' bench did not give up, they magically dragged the Nuggets into overtime at the last moment, the Lakers finally laughed to the end, to the majority of fans to see crying, Munch's 40+ and Reeves's last crazy 30+ luxury triple doubles should be the most shining memory point of the Season for Lakers fans!
In fact, the early end of the regular season is also a relief for the Lakers, entering the summer they are the main force, the head coach at that time and the next stop of James and Wei Shao will affect the hearts of fans around the world!
