115-129, the Lakers upset the Spurs, the reason for the loss, James led 5 people to meet the standard, 3 people were too disappointed, and the red and black list objectively revealed the answer.
James 23+7+14, the Lakers upset the Spurs
1. The red list led by James.
With thick eyebrows out of the game, James needs to carry the banner of the team, and his performance is amazing.
James steals and dunks
The 40-year-old man, as shown in the picture, also staged 4 heavy dunks in the whole game, plus two three-pointers, and scored a team-high 23 points in 7 of 17, and the offense is no longer provocative, more importantly:
James assists Hayes for a layup
With Russell and Vincent both sidelined, the team's guard line was strained, and James took on the responsibility of playmaking, diching up a career-high nine assists in the second quarter alone, and a team-high 14 assists in the game. With 23 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 blocks, James' performance was flawless.
Reeves middle distance
As the team's third-leading leader, Reaves also lived up to the expectations of the team and fans, contributing 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-10 three-point shooting, which was also a passing outside leader.
James assists Hachimura to finish the basket
Hachimura is also the forward future that the team has high hopes for, and today, he received James passes several times and finished efficiently under the basket, scoring 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 8 of 15, no pick!
Prince breakout
Prince has been in a steep upswing recently, gradually fulfilling the 3-and-D value introduced by the team, contributing 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block on 5-of-10 and 2-of-6 three-pointers, at least at a passing level.
Wood 3 points
As a backup center, Wood contributed 17 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 6-of-10 shooting, and his all-around performance was also passing.
If the above five people all performed up to the standard, how could the team lose? Looking at the three people on the black list below, it is too disappointing.
2. Black list, 3 people.
Vanderbilt is an important forward puzzle piece of the team, although the defense is still remarkable, but the offensive end:
Vanderbilt hit a layup
The three-point shooting was acceptable, but as shown in the picture, the close basket was still interfered with, 0-of-3 did not score a point, only 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 fouls, Vanderbilt's performance was not up to standard.
Of course, even if the performance is not good, Vanderbilt is not too bad, and the following two:
Hayes 5th foul
In the absence of thick eyebrows, Coach Ham pushed Hayes to the starter, the purpose is self-evident, is to improve the interior defense, but his performance on the court, not only can not protect the paint area and meet the interference three-point requirements of unlimited defensive changes, but even worse, he only played 12 minutes and 28 seconds, he committed 5 fouls, and then he did not have too big defensive moves when he came on the court, so that the team's interior defense came to naught. Even though he contributed 8 points and 7 rebounds, he could commit 5 early fouls, and his performance was very disappointing.
Of course, there is another person who is the worst on today's black list - Christie.
Christie misses a 3-pointer from Vassell
In the first three quarters, the offense of 5 in 0 has made people unbearable to look at directly, and worse, his defense was like sleepwalking in the whole game, and he couldn't get stuck under the basket and was basketed by Sochan; as shown in the picture, when Reeves switched defenses with him, he suddenly let go of Vassell, the Spurs' most accurate three-point shooter in this game, and went to defend Sochan at the top of the right arc? Such a nightmare defense did not meet the team's expectations of the responsibility of the outside defensive leader.
The Lakers trailed by 20 points 96-116, and when the game lost suspense, Christie's data: 17 minutes and 47 seconds 5 did not score a single point, and all the rest of the data were "0", not even a single turnover and a foul, and the plus/minus value of the game was -31, a disaster!
At this point, looking at the Lakers' warmth in this game, let the Spurs end their 18-game losing streak, in addition to the objective factors of unorganized personnel, as mentioned above, only the five Tigers led by James reached the standard, 3 people performed disappointingly, and 5 people played 7 Spurs with double scores, which is not realistic at all.
