On May 23, Beijing time, the G4 of the Lakers and Nuggets, the Lakers had fallen behind 0-3 before, but in the first half with James's violent departure, the Lakers had a huge advantage. Unfortunately, after the start of the second half, the Lakers played iron on the offensive end and scored almost no athletic battles. Coupled with the defensive end, the Lakers routed the Nuggets in the third quarter. Even if they were dead biting the score in the final quarter, they still couldn't overcome, so they lost 111-113 to the Nuggets and were eliminated.
James really did his best today. In fact, at his age, the first half exploded, and his physical energy was almost consumed. Especially today, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, all of them are unsolvable existences, and 15 of 25 in the game cut 40+10+7 data. Unfortunately, James went on his own, which was obviously not enough. There is no way, in this life-and-death battle, only James inspires a strong desire to win.
Especially the thick-eyed brother, he really makes people desperate. After the last game, today is once again in the doldrums according to routine. 6 of 15 from the field, 21+14, completely mastered by Jokic. After all, if you can't score on the offensive end, you can't keep up, and the defense can't keep up. In addition, the protective frame cannot protect it, and his body movement makes it clear that I am going to be eliminated. Even if the last eight minutes of the final quarter were not bad, it was too late.
Even Hamm is a big problem, and his adjustment is really slow. For example, the defense has always let the thick eyebrows wrap, all leaky, he has to insist. In the third quarter, the opposite side chased consecutive points, and Hamm could really hold a timeout without calling. Coupled with the fact that he still insists on using three defenders, he only knows that Russell went to the eighth base base until he was in a desperate situation, and only then did he know that he was on the top of TT, he is really desperate, and it is better to leave class at the end of the season.
And the overall performance of role players today is not very good. For example, Schroeder and Hachimura were reused, but they could not maintain a consistent score. In particular, Hachimura was 3 of 12 from the field, which was much sluggish compared to the previous one. And the bench is only 10 points, which naturally does not help James.
TT was a real surprise though. He came to the court, there are tactics on the offensive end, especially the defensive end can Jokic's offense, and the overall temperament is also very good, he helped the Lakers stop the decline in the final quarter. The whole 4+1 can be regarded as helping the team adjust some fighting spirit, but unfortunately it has been abandoned before, which is Hamm's problem.
