Lakers 110-125 Kings! The scary thing is not the loss, but James's remarks, which is called leadership
In an NBA game that ended today, the Lakers lost to the Kings 110-125, there was not much suspense in this battle, the Lakers fell behind by 13 points in the first quarter, and the two teams fought to a 34-all tie in the second quarter, and the Kings continued to open up the point difference in the third quarter, and the Lakers did not give up in the last quarter, James broke out and once led the team to chase single digits, but unfortunately the Kings did not make any more mistakes, Fox, Sabonis Jr. and Huerter stood up, and the Lakers could only accept defeat in the end. In terms of statistics, James had 28 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 6 turnovers, Brother Bush had 9 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 turnovers, Russell had 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Reddish had 16 points, 2 rebounds and 5 steals.
The Lakers' three-game winning streak was ended, and the ranking was also overtaken by the Warriors behind them, falling to 8th in the West. According to the usual practice, the loss must be found to find the reason, looking at the whole court, the Lakers mainly exposed four problems, the first is the inaccuracy of the outside line, the last game beat the Grizzlies, the Lakers scored 22 three-pointers, tying the team history record, but the battle was not accurate, the team was 11 of 29, especially Reaves 5 of 0, the outside firepower has always been the Lakers' shortcoming, too unstable. Secondly, the Lakers' defense is terrible, Russell don't look too much, but there is no way to take Fox on the defensive end, just like the air, the same is true for the inside, Xiao Sa is overturning the river under the basket, and the thick eyebrows can't be suppressed. The third reason for the loss, Brother Thick Mei was sluggish at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, only 3 of 9 shots, and was completely blown up by Xiao Sa.
Brother Thick Eyebrows' personal ability must be above Xiao Sa, it can be seen from the first quarter, Brother Thick Eyebrows is playing at the wrong pace, a little careless, not positive enough, the reason may be because of back to back, Brother Thick Eyebrows has problems with physical strength, but the 39-year-old James can break out, so this cannot be used as a reason, it can only be said that Brother Thick Eyebrows lacks fighting spirit today and lacks desire to win. The final reason for the loss, Brother Thick Eyebrows is also related to Hamm, Ham never estimated Brother Thick Eyebrows' feelings, we all know that Brother Thick Eyebrows does not like to play the No. 5 position for a long time, but Ham doesn't think so, Brother Thick Eyebrows not only has to score, but also has to protect the frame, and occasionally will be pulled outside by Xiao Sa, serious physical consumption, or serious pressure at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, plus back-to-back, this is also the reason for the sluggishness of Thick Eyebrows.
Speaking after the game, James said of the team's 23 turnovers: "It wasn't right, it affected the game a lot, the opponent predicted our passing route very well, we made too many mistakes, they got a lot of points out of it, it allowed them to play a couple of waves, and when we played a good defense to defend the opponent, they could guess and read our passing intentions. From these words, it can be seen that James is very dissatisfied with the team's many mistakes, and then, James also criticized himself, saying that he made 6 mistakes, affecting the rhythm of his teammates' game.
James is very responsible, and he personally takes responsibility for the season, which is called leadership temperament. In fact, James had no problem playing this time, scoring 14 points in the second quarter, and once led the team to chase single digits in the final quarter, Lao Zhan tried his best, and on the defensive end, James chased Xiao Sa in the third quarter, but after all, the Lakers are a dual-core team, and James alone cannot win. Then, when talking about the sluggish state of Brother Thick Eyebrows, James also expressed his support, Lao Zhan said: "We all know the ability of AD (Brother Thick Eyebrows), he is AD, we just need to believe in him, he will play dominant in the next game, wait and see." ”
What is called a super leader, James explained very well, Brother Thick Eyebrows is in this slump, and the next game will be played. Reddish has 16 points, 2 rebounds and 5 steals in this game, and has played well in three consecutive games, James also talked about him after the game, Lao Zhan said: "We let him know how special he is now, I think he can play well, he can do a lot of things on the court, he can shoot well, he can defend well, sometimes we just just want to give him some push." "For the Lakers, Reddish is getting better and better, and it can be regarded as the only gain outside of today's loss, I hope Reddish's form can be maintained forever.
