On December 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season competition continued, the Lakers went to challenge the Spurs on the road, and the Spurs continued their bottomless journey this season, and the whole team was accompanying Wembanyama to grow up and trial and error, and the 17-game losing streak before the game has broken the worst losing streak in team history. On the other hand, the Lakers won the midseason championship despite being plagued by injuries, but the Mavericks' four-game winning streak ended in the last game.
Due to the huge gap in the strength of the two teams, after a short tug at the beginning, the Lakers quickly established a double-digit lead under the leadership of Brother Thick Mei, and extended the lead to more than 20 points in one go in the final quarter.
As a result, the Lakers then completely slacked off, coupled with Ham's poor lineup, a big win that should have been clocked in three quarters was just a suspense in the final quarter.
In the last 52 seconds of the game, the Spurs took advantage of the Lakers' mistakes to close the gap to only 2 points, but Wembanyama lost free throws that could tie the score at the critical moment, and Brother Thick Mei hit 4 free throws to kill the game, and finally the Lakers beat the Spurs 122-119.
With five wins in their last six games, the Lakers improved their record to 15-10 and finished fifth in the competitive West, just one win away from the Nuggets and Mavericks in front of them.
The Lakers were able to go all the way despite being plagued by injuries, and the full-fledged thick eyebrows became the heroes, and the thick eyebrows broke the record in this game.
After scoring 37 points and 11 rebounds against the Mavericks in the last game, he made 13 of 23 back-to-back shots in this game, scoring 37 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals.
It is worth mentioning that Brother Thick Mei scored 24 points in the first half, setting a new record for Lakers players to score in a half this season, and the previous record was also held by Brother Thick Mei, who scored 23 points in the half against the Cavaliers on November 26.
What's even more gratifying is that Brother Thick Mei's projection ability is recovering, and he shot 2 of 3 from three-point range in this game.
This is also the epitome of Brother Thick Mei's highlight performance in the past three games, with an average of 38.3 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 65% and a three-point shooting rate of 60%.
In the face of Brother Thick Eyebrows' performance, James, who was absent due to injury, was also very excited, and after Brother Thick Eyebrows separated Wembanyama, James, who was eating snacks on the sidelines, stood up directly and waved his fists to celebrate.
The only worrying thing is that Brother Thick Mei has a certain injury risk in the case of continuous outbreaks, and after the past two consecutive uncomfortable butt games, this game has suffered another broken foot.
As a result, in this case, Hamm's poor personnel deployment failed to give Brother Thick Eyebrows an early break, and the final quarter forced a big victory out of suspense.
Ham left two offensive-minded players, Wood and Russell, on the court for an extended period of time in the final quarter, resulting in a loss of 45 points in a single quarter.
In the whole game, Wood played 21 minutes after being DNP in a row, shooting 4-of-7, scoring 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, with a game-low plus/minus of -13.
Russell shot 6-of-13 from the field and 0-of-4 from three-point range to finish with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, with a plus/minus of -6, the only minus among starters.
In the case of a near-rollover in the final quarter, Ham gave an explanation after the game, and he directly threw the blame on the players.
"We can't ignore the details, we have to add common sense to the talent, and we were lucky to win tonight," Hamm said. ”
