The Lakers have lost two games in a row, and are currently 2-0 down in the series, the situation is precarious, looking at the entire history of the NBA, the hope of falling 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals and trying to turn around is very slim.
Even though James has completed many incredible reversals, the current James is almost 40 years old after all, and he has long lost his original steel and strength that can never be used. The difference between the two games was within a millimeter, especially the hope of winning the game, losing in this way made the morale of the entire Lakers very low, and James also publicly expressed his attitude in the postgame interview. When talking about the performance of the second game, Hachimura was highlighted, while also criticizing one of the Lakers' players.
Hachimura was effective defending Jokic in the second half of the first game, and his shooting percentage and efficiency on the court were among the highest on the Lakers. He repeatedly used his flexibility and soft touch to hit the desperate interior and successfully made Jokic very passive, after all, Jokic's speed could not keep up with him. James also bluntly said that Hachimura is the fig leaf of the Lakers today, playing very well and helping the team bite the game, but unfortunately James himself and other players did not give him enough help.
One player James hates is himself, and James is also outspoken about his poor three-point shooting percentage and a few senseless errors on the court. As the core of the team, he did not help the team at key moments to complete the comeback. I need to take responsibility for losing, and I will not escape this responsibility, and I will strengthen my three-point practice after the game, believing that my hand will not be so low all the time. At the same time, James also encouraged the team to have confidence that they had completed a big comeback after falling 3-1.
Now just 2-0 down, it's time to get back to playing at home and confident of winning the entire series.
