At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams entered the state relatively slowly, the two sides attacked each other, the Lakers' strategy was to strangle Morant, let the other Grizzlies players attack, after half a quarter, James blew the offensive horn with a violent dunk, and hit 4 3-pointers in a row to instantly pull the score back, the Grizzlies were at a loss, asked for a timeout, and came back from a timeout, Wood replaced the thick eyebrows, and played a role as soon as he came up, first hit a 3-pointer, and hit two strong hits under the basket, Reddish's death entanglement also caused Morant to make 2 turnovers, and Vanderbilt came off the bench to fully show his vitality and actively fight for rebounds。 At the end of the first quarter, Morant hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to close the gap. In the second quarter, when the Lakers were at James' break, the offense stalled, the Grizzlies fought back, Smart hit 3 3-pointers in a row to stop the Lakers twice, the Lakers made frequent mistakes, James had to play again, today's first 3 points James, the basket offense was frequently not scored, and the Grizzlies relied on Smart and JJJ to chase the score to 1 point.

The Lakers' defense and offense in the first 3 quarters today were normal, the defensive counterattack was very good, and the rebounds were also very active, but the 3-point shooting was never possible. In the 4th quarter of a game, the Lakers only played the first 3 quarters, and the fourth quarter collapsed collectively. It's like sleepwalking, and you can't prevent it.

Bane also hit five 3-pointers, and the Lakers didn't care about the tail, and it was simply wishful thinking to expect the opponent to have a bad hand.
Today's best double standard award fell into the hands of the judges on the field, and it is well deserved!
