James exploded! The Lakers beat the Clippers by 19 points! Finally ended an 11-game losing streak
On November 2, Beijing time, the Los Angeles derby officially began: the Lakers home vs the Clippers. Although the Clippers have officially announced that Harden's big trade is complete, Deng Ge needs to return to practice and will not play in this game. In addition, Mann is also unavailable due to an ankle injury. PJ Tucker is available today, and he will make his Clippers debut.
There were a number of injuries on the Lakers' side: Van der Biao, Vincent, Hachimura and Prince didn't play. In the past two days, a reporter deliberately asked Wei Shao: "Why do you feel happier in the Clippers than in the Lakers?" Wei Shao laughed, and then replied: "There are many reasons, and I can't finish talking here." I want to say thank you to the Clippers for accepting me when I was at a low point. ”
George replied for him: "No one said he was bad when he was a wizard. But Wei Shao went to the Lakers, and those negative voices began to circulate! Wei Shao is uncomfortable playing with the Lakers, he is not his final form! In the first four games of the season, Wei Shao averaged 13 points, 7 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 56.1% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.
Clippers starters: Westbrook, Hyland, George, Jr., Zubac. Lakers starters: Reaves, Russell, Reddish, James, thick eyebrows. How much traffic and attention did this game get? THE SOUTH KOREAN GIRL BAND LE SSERAFIM CAME TO THE SCENE TO CHEER FOR THE LAKERS AND PERFORM, AND MAGIC JOHNSON GREETED THEM ON BEHALF OF THE LAKERS.
Now that the off-field talk is out of the way, let's see how the players on the field are doing. As soon as the game started, Leonard started the rampage mode: 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the first quarter! The Lakers have three fewer fronts, and they really can't prevent small cards. In the first quarter, the Clippers led by as many as 19 points, and the team made 5 of 8 three-pointers, and the Lakers were directly stunned!
Due to Leonard's hot hand, the Lakers could only save on the inside, resulting in an empty basket. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led the Lakers 37-24. In the second quarter, the small card felt down and missed three consecutive jump shots. Wei Shao stepped up, scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the second quarter, and 13 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals on 6-of-11 shooting in the first half.
George took few shots, scoring nine points on 3-of-4 shooting in the first half. On the Lakers' side, James continued to advance from the outside in the second quarter, scoring 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting in a single quarter. In the first half, Lao Zhan played 19 minutes and 28 seconds, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block on 6-of-9 shooting. Thick eyebrows consumed too much energy on the defensive end, scoring only 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks on 3-of-6 shooting.
The two sides were 24-24 in the second quarter, and at halftime, the Clippers still led by 13 points at 61-48. Inside scoring: The Clippers outscored by 12 points at 30-18. In the first two minutes of the third quarter, Reaves picked up his fourth foul, and Ham didn't replace him. Lakers increase defensive intensity: James big hat Wei Shao, Reddish steals George.
Tucker didn't contribute at all on the offensive end, shooting 0-of-0 in the first three quarters, and didn't attack at all, let's see if he can help the Clippers on the defensive end. The Lakers offered a three-high lineup: Hayes, Wood and Thick Eyebrows were on the floor at the same time! The Clippers can't get into the interior at all, and they can't grab the frontcourt board! In the final 1:46 of the third quarter, the Lakers narrowed the gap to one point.
In the second half, the Clippers' offense was in disarray, uncooperative, and all on their own, and waiting for Harden to play might be able to solve the problem. In the third quarter, the Lakers won by 15 points at 39-24 in a single quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Clippers 87-85. At the decisive moment of the final quarter, George hit two three-pointers in a row! But George and Zubac were both guilty of 5 ...
James named Zubac several times, and in the final five minutes, the Lakers led by eight points. With Covington, Batum and Morris Jr. being traded, the Clippers don't have enough bench depth to play too little. Tyronn Lue sent a five-small lineup and let Xiaoka play center! The Lakers insisted on hitting the ball to the inside to keep the lead, and the girls on the sidelines also watched it.
Wei Shao and George each hit a three-pointer, 24.1 seconds, the Clippers chased to 114-115! Russell hit both free throws to give the Lakers another three-point lead. Reddish fouls George with a three-pointer, and the Lakers challenge fails! George hit all three free throws, tied 117-117! With 17 seconds left for the Lakers, Ham didn't take a timeout, Russell missed the game, and the two teams went into overtime.
In the fourth quarter, George scored 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting to save the Clippers! At the beginning of overtime, George left the court with 6 fouls, and all the Lakers' defensive focus came to Xiaoka. The Lakers steal the small card, and James catches the tomahawk dunk in the air! The small card scored 6 points in a row, but unfortunately the rest of the Clippers couldn't step up! At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 130-125!
Congratulations to the Lakers, who staged a 19-point comeback and ended an 11-game losing streak against the Clippers!
