Hamm was not a strong head, and G2 decisively removed the back three on Van der Biao. At first, I was a little surprised why I didn't start the defeat of Hachimura, but then I thought about it because I wanted to leave myself behind. Judging from the effect of Hachimura's appearance, Hamm's back hand punch has an effect, but the problem is that Debiao's effect on the field is really average, which is equivalent to the failure of the formation.
Some folks may think that Debiao chased Murray well, at least to give a lot of interference, and it is difficult to understand why Hamm gave him so little playing time. There is some truth in this, but we can't ignore another fact: Debiao played less than 15 minutes in the first three quarters, but the plus-minus was slightly embarrassing -7, which is equivalent to the Lakers in loss mode when he was on the floor. The reason is not difficult to explain, Debiao defends well but the offensive means are quite lacking, especially the three-point is basically relying on Meng, which is very dragging space on the court, which is similar to 4 to 5 on the offensive side. Think about it, Debiao really wants to be mobile, able to defend against small at the same time, but also wander in or vacant snipers have long been offered as a baby, can you still give the Lakers so casual exchange?
So don't think that Hamm's three-back is cephalosporin and less IQ to be recharged, but there is no way.
After the opening game, the referees led by the Tony brothers once grabbed the home team, and Kung Fu Popport Braun committed two fouls in the half quarter. The free throws on both sides were almost opened in this half of the quarter, and then I realized that the scale was a little too much, and the scale of the referee's trio began to balance. Therefore, objectively speaking, the whole game was quite reasonable except for the blowing in the first half of the first quarter, and the home team did not give a sharp comment on the blowing penalty after the game.
In fact, judging from the first three quarters, the Lakers' strategy was almost successful, they managed to cut the game and destroy the rhythm to pieces. This is what the Lakers want to see, as we all know, the two sides of the Western Conference have very different combat paths, and the Nuggets rely on the output Lakers to fight defense, so the low score is what the Lakers like to see. In the third quarter, the two sides were tied to 79-76, and the Lakers had a narrow lead with 3 points. If this rhythm continues, it is likely that it will be a back-and-forth tug-of-war to the end, with the away team winning a thrilling victory to make the total score 1-1.
Of course, from the perspective of hindsight, the first three quarters of the Lakers buried several hidden dangers, including but not limited to:
1, thick eyebrows big move to CD, this is very easy to understand, eyebrows play a combination of work and rest, recall that G2 after Huyong G1 is also listless. It's just that the Lake Warriors G1 won the Lakers, and the West Final G1 won the Nuggets, and as soon as the scene is switched, it is a bit embarrassing to turn the CD again;
2. The overall situation of the old man is mixed, how to say? Relying on experience to steal points is still dramatic, the projection of the sense of struggle is really not at all, and there is enough to list the hollow basket of today. It's not about being old or tired, what happened at the beginning of the second quarter, tired fart. It is clear that the hand feels bad;
3. No one in the entire guard line can stand up except Reeves, especially Russell is a crime record;
4, there is still no good way to take Jokic, and Hamm, who is engaged, has to let the old man bear part of the heavy responsibility of defending Jokic, saying that you will suffer the crime, and scold the teacher. But then again, it seems that no team can really get the former MVP, but on the other hand, it is easier to get the current MVP;
The above hidden dangers are harmless when the situation is superior, and the advantage lies with me. However, the unexpected scenario popped up, Jamal Murray, you can call him Guanxi or Mouth Mamba, only scored 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting in the first three quarters, and the degree of internal ghosts is extremely high. Tired enough to choke Jokic like a stupid boy, the result is that this kid, like a superstar descending into the world, covers the sky with one hand:
6-of-7 alone scored 23 points, while the Lakers scored 24 points in the entire fourth quarter.
The tide of battle turned around in an instant.
Did the Lakers defense suddenly collapse? Not really, the anti-Murray defense is in place. Thick eyebrows and old men take turns to serve, what a blessing. It is true that the old man is unfavorable, but if you look back at Murray's stunned faces, you will be shocked to find that the old man is not out of position. Purely in the field of metaphysics, Xiao Ye is able to withstand frontal rapid pulling and continuous promotion, can I help? To be fair, inviting God to the peak library is almost this visual effect.
Murray is not the only one who will be rushed, but also Potter. Porter's 5-year 173 million li, the knife pulling technique is worth at least 150 million. But I saw that these two brothers were on one side, opening a bow left and right, pulling out and pulling out sharply, buzzing the braincase of the lakers, and echoing in his ears: "Send it, send it, send it." ”
There is no way to do this, planted in the hands of the giant planet of Nuggets. Quite darkly, it is clear that the Lakers are theoretically the team that relies more on superstars. As a result, the two superstars are old, and the other is fished...
Even if it is pulled out like this, the Lakers can still play back the possibility of turning over with Reeves' continued life. With 1:07 left in the end, Reeves magically hit a 3-pointer to bring the score closer to 99-101. In a word, if Reeves has the ability to fight for a 4-year 60 million contract in the offseason after the regular season, then the playoffs play this one, its market value can reach 80 million in 4 years, smart + tough + big heart + defensive side is not targeted, where do you find young players who combine the above characteristics?
It's a pity that Reeves' desperate efforts to earn back the situation was squandered by thick eyebrows, and God knows why he would be confident on the outside. Eyebrows sober up, now is 2023 not 2020, this is the Denver Pepsi Center is not Disney Amusement Center, three years ago the Disney version of the eyebrows can shoot close to 40% three-point shooting; Whether the outer line of the eyebrows is three percent sure today is another matter. So even if you are in an empty seat, this shot is still not a reasonable choice. The result was not surprising, and Brown laughed at the rebound.
Rao is so that there is still a chance, the old man drank loudly after stealing and personally rushed the formation, unlike the treasure in the second quarter, this time he really couldn't catch the three, and was interfered by Gordon on the rebound, this time it was completely cool, the cool kind.
With a 0-2 aggregate scoreline, the Lakers returned home dejected. What awaits them will be a home desperate fight where the margin of error is lowered, and Governor Madu flaunted his might after the game, suggesting that "the media will only have just the right traffic, obviously we are 2-0 but do not discuss us, but are keen to discuss how the Lakers should adjust." "The winner can say anything, and he has to be proud. On the other hand, as a loser, Ham Ruquan didn't know what to say in his throat, and after thinking about it, he finally said to the old man:
"Tell me, what should I do next?"
The old man made a bitter face and spread his hands.
