NBA Western Conference Finals G2, Los Angeles Lakers lost 103-108 to the Nuggets, the total score of the series also came to 0-2, and then the Lakers will return home with this score, the situation is already very unoptimistic, the Lakers must win the two home courts of G3 and G4, otherwise the series will lose suspense in advance.
In fact, today's game The Lakers played very well, they have been leading in the first three quarters, and even led by as many as 11 points at one point, but the fourth quarter was carried away by the Nuggets, which is indeed a pity.
Today's James scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists on 9-of-19 shooting, Rivers also scored 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting, and Yamura Takashi who came off the bench shot 8-of-10 and scored 21 points, and the three-point performance was very good, but the core player thick eyebrows, his performance is simply a little spicy!
Thick eyebrows shot 4 of 15 and 1 of 3 from three-point range, and made 11 free throws to bring his score to 18 points, but he also contributed a team-high 4 fouls and 4 turnovers, and 3 of them came in the crucial fourth quarter! The Lakers can lead by 11 points in the first three quarters, in fact, it has nothing to do with the thick eyebrows, because when the Lakers lead by double digits, the data of the thick eyebrows is 2 of 10, but if he is a little normal, if the Lakers can expand to more than 15 points, then the Nuggets are not easy to chase!
In the crucial second half of the fourth quarter, the thick eyebrows didn't even have the courage to storm the basket! Throughout the fourth quarter, Brother Thick Eyebrows scored 6 points, including 1 of 3 two-pointers, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and 3 turnovers while being extremely inefficient, simply a "first-class war criminal" of the Lakers! Especially in the last 5 minutes, Brother Thick Eyebrows did not hit the basket once, but threw 2 three-pointers on the outside and then hit the iron, and there was a particularly good fast attack opportunity, Brother Thick Eyebrows even went directly to the layup and gave the ball to the Nuggets.
In fact, the defensive pressure of the thick eyebrow brother is not large, the head coach specifically let James defend Jokic, Schroder to defend Murray, the task for the thick eyebrows is to assist the defense, Porter Jr., Gordon, Brown and others who appear on the front line rotation are all opposite players of the thick eyebrows. So how effective is his defense? Porter Jr. is 5 of 10, Gordon is 5 of 9, Brown is 5 of 11, all three players combined to shoot less than 50%, this is your defense? Fortunately, the coach did not let the thick-eyed brother defend Jokic, otherwise Mr. Jokic would definitely have scored more than 23 points!
What makes Lakers fans most angry is a brainless interference ball in the third quarter whistle! At that time, the Nuggets missed a three-pointer, and the thick-eyed brother actually did not have a card position, so Jokic stood in place to get the rebound, and then quickly shot to make up for the basket. Brother Thick Eyebrows sent a whistle jamming ball with only 0.5 seconds left! In fact, if he didn't touch it at the time, the ball would not necessarily have scored.
Can't shoot, can't prevent, is the true portrayal of this game of thick eyebrows! And the quick attack to get rid of the hand, press the whistle to send the jamming ball, I really don't know how to wash. Many fans even said that if you replace the thick eyebrows with Ayton, the Lakers will win this game! At least Ayton won't play so much iron, so that more possession can be given to reliable players such as James and Rivers.
In fact, the whole playoffs are played, the state of the thick-eyed brother is not good, and the most direct impression is soft! Playing the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals, because of the height advantage, thick eyebrows slightly bullied the Warriors' interior line, but when encountering the Nuggets inside, thick eyebrows are nothing. I hope that the thick-eyed brother can adjust well when he returns to the home court, stop messing around, and James can play for a few more years? As long as there is no James to help, relying on the thick eyebrow brother alone to lead the team, at most it will be a round tour, right?
