After beating the Clippers in the last game to end a four-game losing streak, the Lakers sat at home to face the Raptors, who completed the trade 3-1, and the two teams in full shape started a fierce tug-of-war, and the suspense of the game was maintained until the last minute, and finally the Lakers took away the game with the inexplicable defensive performance of the thick eyebrows, narrowly defeated the Raptors 132-131 to get the precious two consecutive wins, and the team's winning rate returned to 50% (19-19).
Among them, Brother Thick Mei became the biggest hero, shooting 13 of 17 from the field, slashing 41 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, and scoring 20 points in the final quarter to win the game.
With this performance, Bushy became the fourth player in Lakers history to score at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in 50 times, the first three being Elgin Baylor, O'Neal and Abdul-Jabbar.
As a result, the referee's blowing penalty became the focus of controversy among fans after the game, and Raptors coach Rajakovic was even more angry after the game, and he angrily sprayed the referee and the league.
In his post-match interview, Rajakovic bluntly said: "It's just a piece of shit! Shame on you! Shame on the referee! Shame on the league that tolerates this kind of thing." 23-2 on free throws in the fourth quarter, can anyone tell me how that makes us play?"
"Do the Lakers have to win today? If that's the case, then tell me, we're not going to do it at all, and it's unfair to judge the Lakers to win, tonight's game is too unfair. ”
The fundamental reason why the Raptors coach is so angry is the huge free throw gap between the two teams in the final quarter, in the case of losing only 1 point in the whole game, the Raptors fell behind 2-23 in the final quarter of free throws, and the 14 free throws in the whole game were 1 more than the whole Raptors.
Even excluding the free throws from tactical fouls, the Lakers led 15-2, and in the first three quarters of the game, the two teams were not far apart from 13-11, and the final free throw count was fixed at 36-13.
In the final five minutes of the game, the Raptors didn't make a single free throw, and the Lakers made 19 free throws in the same period.
After the game, the American media forwarded the relevant free throw data comparison, with the text: "This is crazy. ”
Statistically, the Lakers are also the best team at making free throws this season, ranking first in the league with three free throw statistics.
Number 1: The 23-2 win in the final quarter of the game and 21 free throws was the most in the league in any quarter of the season.
Second: Since the start of the game, the Lakers have led their opponents by 186 in total free throws, ranking first in the league.
Third: The Lakers led their opponents with a total of 86 free throws in the final quarter, which also ranked first in the league.
In the face of such blows and controversy, James responded publicly when asked about it in the post-game interview.
James said: "I feel they fouled, we didn't foul. ”
Zhu Yipeng, media person of Yang Kan's team and editor-in-chief of new media of "Hoop Slam Dunk" magazine, was more direct, commenting after the game that if competitive sports are not real, it is better to watch Mayday.
