Today the Lakers beat the Warriors 124-111, and against the Warriors without Curry and Wiggins, the Lakers won quite easily. And the most surprising thing is that James is in extremely bad form this game, and Davis is also mediocre. James scored 13 points on 5-of-20 shooting, 12 points and 12 boards. But the Lakers still broke the Warriors, and all we can say is that the success of the trade deadline operation allowed Pelinka to save the Lakers this season.
Westbrook took the top salary and almost hollowed out the Lakers' offensive and defensive resources, but he did not play satisfactorily. This season, Wei Shao's true shooting percentage is less than 50%, and Wall can be called a Crouching Dragon Phoenix. Having the Wei Shao Lakers is very barren in other positions, and now they split the Wei Shao contract into several parts. Instead, the Lakers have been strengthened, as we've said before. The Lakers' 20-year championship has taught everyone that the dual-core model can be successful.
Built around James and Davis, surrounded by a group of shooters and 3D, the inside hoarded a big center shield for thick eyebrows to mitigate the impact of injury. The bench strengthens its depth to give the starters a respite. This is the main reason why the Lakers have reached the top in 20 years, and for James, if they insist on pursuing the Big Three, then the object of pursuit should not be point guards, but should be top forwards. For example, Durant, George, Leonard and even Bridges and Anunoby are all third giants suitable for the Lakers.
If you really can't get it, you shouldn't go to Stud Big 3 casually, the Lakers lost to the Suns in 21, in the final analysis, it is not a problem of the dual-core system, but the thick eyebrows are injured and that's it. Thick eyebrows are not injured, the Lakers are the dominant side against the Suns, and it turns out that in 21 years the Suns passed the Lakers, and then entered the Finals without encountering any obstacles. Zhan Mei health plus a group of instant combat power can already prove how strong this field is. James, Davis, Van der Biao, plus Beasley and Shula's backcourt, the Lakers steadily suppressed the Warriors by boiling frogs in warm water.
And the tough bench, perfect play in the transition section, Reeves, the new Bamba, plus Schroder and Hachimura Takashi a meal output, the Lakers relied on the bench to successfully beat the game in the third quarter, the final quarter Lakers bench stormed the point difference to 26 points, Jam Mei clocked in 8 minutes early. This may be the easiest game for the Lakers since Wei Shao joined, and the accustomed James Mei was shocked after the game.
"I don't remember the last time I led by 24 points and had so much time to play. ”
Old Zhan said: "Never, never." ”
The Warriors chased 6 points, 11 boards and 5 assists, Thompson had 22 points, Poole scored only 16 points on 3-of-13 shooting, and Looney was still powerful with 10 points and 15 boards. But this time the Lakers encountered by the Warriors are very different from the past, Beasley scored 25 points on 7-of-11 three-point shooting, and Van Debiao cut 4 points, 9 boards and 2 assists in 18 minutes. The Lakers were full of Blossoming Rivers 17 points, Schroder 13 points and 6 assists, Bamba scored 10 points and 13 boards in just 22 minutes, and 2-of-4 from three-point range was finally normal, in addition to Hachimura 14 points and Walker 10 points
The Lakers who lost Wei Shao made James Mei shout after the game to rush for the championship, which the Lakers in the past did not dare to imagine. After all, with the Lakers' current record, they can only play the play-offs, but why Zhan Mei dares to call the championship may be very confident in the next Lakers' record. As Bamba and Beasley analyzed, the Lakers are now full of energy on the team. Bamba, in particular, has not been reused since entering the magic in '18. This time to join the Lakers, Bamba's exposure is directly full. The Bamba style of play suits James very well, he is fast and can shoot three-point shots and high. At the same time, Bamba is also extremely grateful to join the Lakers, and he has finally survived after 5 years. Bamba also revealed after the game that he intends to buy a house in Los Angeles and looks like he will be rooted in the Lakers for a long time.
