Discuss the review | He is the only one who can save the Lakers

Without James, the Lakers played the most magical game of the season, and at the same time, added another classic game to Rivers' brilliant reversal career.

Before the Lakers and Bucks game, James decided to rest in the rotation, and the signal released by the Lakers should be to let go of this game and focus on playing the Grizzlies in the next game. Such a choice at the end of the season is normal, and James should be given a certain amount of rest.

So the mentality of Lakers fans today should also be that if you lose, you will lose, including being blown up by the Bucks in the first quarter, and the Lakers opened with three guards and then 1 of 10, all within the acceptable range of Lakers fans. But the Bucks were bad at this game, and they didn't beat the Lakers to death.

The Bucks led by 16 points in the first quarter, but from the second quarter onwards, the Lakers found their offensive rhythm and tied the Bucks in the first quarter. Russell, who was 1 of 7 in the first half, exploded in the third quarter with 14 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and the Lakers once chased the difference to only 6 points.

But when Russell went down, the ball was back in Reaves' hands, and Reaves made a low-level error on the dribble, and then Davis dribbled and Hayes was stealed. The Lakers played extremely poorly during this period, and Reaves' main control was also poor. Russell's single-quarter outburst chased back the little point difference, and all of them were sent back.

If the game ends here, Reaves' play is not up to par. His level of control will once again be questioned by fans, and whether "Reeves" should start or not will also become a hot topic of discussion among fans after the game. Thankfully, there was still one quarter left in the game (plus two overtimes, in fact), and he was the only one who could save Reeves.

At 8 minutes and 24 seconds in the final quarter, Lillard threw a mid-range shot, and the Bucks led by 19 points. But in the next game, the Lakers snatched the victory out of the Bucks' pocket. When your head coach is Rivers, no amount of lead is too safe.

Thick eyebrows, Russell and Reaves, the three of them combined to score 25 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Lakers all the way to chase points. Thick eyebrows were really deflated today in the face of Brother Alphabet + Da Luo's inside, but he magically hit two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and even hit a stumbling three-pointer in overtime.

The Lakers erased a 19-point deficit in the final moments, and even Reaves had a chance to shoot in the final minute, with a three-pointer from beyond the arc, and then two hard-fought overtimes.

Why is this a magical game? In addition to the plot of the big reversal, the whole Lakers team is also saving themselves to varying degrees.

Bushy missed 19 shots, a new high since the Lakers, but he hit three three-pointers and ended up with two Lillard blocks in the first overtime, and the defense was still full. He played a career-high 51 minutes and 52 seconds in the game, with 34 points, 23 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.

Russell's poor hand in the first half regained his accuracy in the second half, and without his play in the third quarter, this game would not have played to that extent. Including Dinwiddie, who made a goal in the whole game, but it came from a crucial overtime and a crucial three-pointer.

Reeves missed a great chance late in the fourth quarter, but in the final minute of the second overtime, Reaves hit a game-deciding three-pointer from almost the same position. In the second overtime, the Lakers scored a total of two field goals, all from Reaves.

Looking back at his clenched fists after throwing the stunner, Reeves at that time should have thought in his heart: next time, next time I will definitely throw this ball.

The Lakers trailed by as many as 19 points in the final quarter, and then they played a wonderful team basketball game where Reaves found control and his big heart. Reaves had 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists and only 1 turnover, a statistic that only two Lakers have ever had since the 21st century, Reaves and James.

After the game, Reeves said: "You can do two things, break down, or pick yourself up and take on the challenge. Obviously, he chose the latter. Picking himself up from adversity, taking on the pressure and carrying the team, we reversed all the momentum.

This season, Reeves should move on to the next stage of his career. Previously, he was an unknown undrafted pick, relying on hard work to win a Lakers seat, relying on excellent ball intelligence to gain James' love and the team's trust, and gradually gain a foothold in the NBA.

And after signing a big contract and being seen by Ham as the second ball-handler after James, Reaves should have done better. But his performances in the first half of the season were struggling, with confusion between starting and coming off the bench, a drop in efficiency due to increased possession, and people said he was a brat who couldn't handle the ball.

And Reaves in this game, after James was absent, played a career signature game. The last time the Lakers beat the Bucks, it relied on Russell's 44 points, and today the Lakers swept the Bucks on Reaves' triple-double and fearless determination.

Of course, in the end, I have to mention that the Bucks' backcourt defense is really poor.
