Thick eyebrows 29 + 18, Heat Five Tigers 77 + 24, Lao Zhan left the field in tears, God changed, God changed
The NBA regular season once again set off a battle of focus, with the Lakers and the Heat competing fiercely. In this game, the Lakers faced Butler's absence, while the Heat were all in full. Before the game, fans were expecting James and Bushy Eyebrows to play, but the final result was a big surprise.
In terms of starting lineup, the Heat sent Lowry, Herro, Harkes, Jovic and Adebayo, while the Lakers made up of Reaves, Prince, Reddish, James and Bush. In terms of roster strength, the Lakers clearly have the advantage, however, the result of the game is clearly not in line with people's expectations.
At the beginning of the game, Lowry hit both free throws, and James and Reaves responded quickly, but the Heat gradually gained the upper hand. The Lakers' outside shooting percentage was at a low point for a while, and mistakes were frequent. After hitting all three free throws, Herro hit another three-pointer to put the Lakers in a double-digit deficit. Despite the Lakers' efforts to stop the bleeding, the Lakers' Van der Biao and Bushy Eyebrows still trailed 18-25 in the first quarter.
After the end of the first quarter, the Lakers' perimeter problems became more and more prominent, and their 0-of-7 three-point shooting allowed them to fall into passivity. At the beginning of the second quarter, Ham sent in Schifino, but three-point performances from Christie and Richardson didn't help the Lakers turn the tide. Schifino actually failed to score in an empty basket, allowing the Lakers to miss a chance to get back the score. The Lakers trailed 45-53 at halftime.
Halftime statistics show that Brother Thick Mei performed eye-catchingly, contributing 29 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks, but James's performance was not satisfactory, only 12 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Overall, the Lakers had obvious problems with outside shooting percentage and turnovers, which became one of the main reasons for losing.
In the rematch, the Lakers tried to overtake the score, and James made a layup and Richardson's throw to narrow the gap to 2 points. However, the Heat's Dunroe responded quickly, with Harkes coming out and Love making a layup to open up the gap again. The Lakers, despite the back-and-forth of Bushy and Bam Adebayo, were unable to overtake the Heat and ended the third quarter 67-72.
Entering the crucial final quarter, the Lakers still had a chance to overtake the score, and the excellent performances of James, Richardson and Wood narrowed the gap to 2 points at one point. However, back-to-back scoring by Dunroe and Harkes once again allowed the Heat to hold on to the lead, and the Lakers failed to reverse the decline. In the end, the Lakers lost 96-110 to the Heat in the final quarter.
The loss left the Lakers on a three-game losing streak, and although they still sit in 10th place in the West, the margin has been tied by the 11th-placed Warriors, and the play-off situation has become grim. The Lakers and Warriors have become difficult brothers, and one team may be destined to leave the court before the play-in tournament. For Hamm's coaching, this may be the time to think about getting out of class.
The game statistics show that the Heat's Herro, Jovic, Harkes, Adebayo and Lowry all performed well and played to their strengths across the board. In contrast, two of the Lakers' starters scored nil, and James, Prince and Reddish also had disappointing performances. Although Christie scored 14 points, it was clear that his three-point shooting percentage could be improved.
The Heat remain in fourth place in the East after beating the Lakers, and the Lakers' situation is getting more and more serious. The play-off situation has become confusing for them, and the competition with the Warriors is getting tougher. This game is not only a three-game losing streak for the Lakers, but also a profound review of their overall performance.
Overall, the Lakers had a lot of problems in this game, with low outside shooting percentage, a lot of turnovers, and the poor performance of some key players as the cause of defeat. In the next games, they need to seriously sum up their lessons, adjust their form, and strive to get back on the winning track as soon as possible. Although this loss is embarrassing, it could also be an opportunity for the Lakers to rise. After all, in competitive sports, winning and losing are the norm, and it's important to learn from your failures and keep improving.
