On the morning of December 25, Beijing time, the high-profile Lakers VS Celtics Christmas battle came to an end, and the injury-plagued Lakers failed to compete with the in-form Green Shirts in this game. Despite his best efforts to maintain his team's performance, James struggled to withstand the onslaught of the opponent's onslaught and lost 127-101.
The result of this game undoubtedly surprised many people, in last season's matchup, the Lakers and the Green Shirts can be described as extremely fierce, each round of the competition is full of suspense and drama, making people mesmerizing to watch. However, this season, the gap between the strength of the Lakers and the Green Shirts is particularly obvious, and the Lakers' performance has declined significantly, which makes many fans and media feel quite sorry and emotional. As we all know, in the offseason, when the league was planning the regular season, it set this basketball feast as an important program on Christmas night, attracting the attention of countless basketball fans around the world. However, judging from the current situation, despite the many factors that play a role, it is somewhat too idealistic to expect this clash between strong teams to be as tense as it has been in the past.
The Lakers' physical fitness and results are significantly lower than those of the Green Shirts, and the entire game showed that the Lakers were behind the Green Shirts by a large score. Both teams put in a lot of enthusiasm and focus during the game, and this was especially evident in the crucial first quarter. After just six minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Green Shirts by more than 10 points, and the outcome of the game was uncertain.
Difficult circumstances have not dampened the Purple and Gold's desire to do so, especially given the high level of attention on Christmas and their home advantage. Then, under the leadership of Brother Thick Mei, the Lakers launched a pursuit storm, and under the stubborn blow of Brother Ruomei, the Lakers successfully saved the situation from behind. After the game entered the second quarter, the Lakers consciously gradually approached the score. Before halftime, as Prince calmly lit up the three-point line, the thick eyebrows scored a strong basket, and the Lakers finally managed to fill the hole behind.
After the rematch, the Lakers rekindled their fighting spirit, and they were led by the leader of the court, LeBron James, who shot the ball well. And when the Lakers launched a counterattack, the Green Shirts were not to be outdone, and they quickly launched a counterattack, and Kyrie Irving hit a shot to pull the score away again. As the game wore on, the physical and mental strength of players on both sides was gradually depleted, but the Green Shirts did not let their guard down, they had already built a 22-point lead by the end of the fourth quarter and won the game with a landslide 127-101 victory. For the Lakers, this game was not only lost, but also lost to self-challenge. Despite their tenacious fighting spirit and indomitable spirit in the game, the gap in quality was evident against strong opponents.
The problems exposed by this competition are not only individual ability, but the operation of the entire league and the competitive atmosphere. Even with the much-anticipated battle between the Lakers and Celtics at the beginning of the schedule, fans naturally turned their interest to other competitors when the spectacle declined. Only by solving the problem of balanced development of the league can we truly realize the charm of sports competition - crazy competition is the place that really attracts the audience.
