On April 17, Beijing time, the Grizzlies played at home against the Lakers, and the Grizzlies lost to the Lakers 123-123 at the end of the game. Thick eyebrows were injured in the game against the Timberwolves, something like this happened that made the Lakers lose to the Timberwolves, and then thick eyebrows also missed the game against the Warriors, even if James returned to the Lakers still lost to the Warriors, losing these two games made the ranking in the West precarious, the Warriors successfully defeated the Trail Blazers after the Lakers also fell to the tenth place in the West, but there is no win difference between the Lakers and the Warriors and the Kings, so the Lakers still have a chance to improve the rankings, so the Lakers really can't afford to lose this game.
After the start of the first quarter of the game, thick eyebrows took the lead in helping the Lakers score, and in the next game, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, although James and thick eyebrows hit the inside line to score, but the Lakers played quite chaotically, and the rebounds were not well protected and there were mistakes, so the Grizzlies kept biting the score, but at the end of the game, under the leadership of thick eyebrows, the Lakers still managed to pull away the score, and the Lakers led by 8 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, James raided the inside line to help the Lakers keep the lead, and when Prince hit a three-point shot, the Lakers led to 12 points, but unfortunately after LaRavia, GG-Jackson broke out with three points to quickly narrow the difference, but at the critical moment, Hachimura hit three points in a row to help the Lakers stabilize the situation, but unfortunately the Lakers made too many mistakes in the next game, and the Grizzlies continued to narrow the difference, and the Lakers had a lead of only 4 points at the end of the half.
In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers still couldn't control the mistakes, and the Grizzlies had completed the overtake after Pippen hit a three-point shot, and after thick eyebrows and Russell finally helped the Lakers stabilize the situation, the Grizzlies maintained their state, and the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 2 points after Goodwin hit a three-point shot. In the next game, the Lakers could not stop the decline, and the Grizzlies once led to 9 points, but fortunately, the thick eyebrows scored to stabilize the situation, and James also turned on the offensive mode, and when the thick eyebrows hit the shot, the Lakers completed the overtake, and the Lakers led by 1 point at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers played a wave of 9-2, but then Pippen helped the Grizzlies bite the score, and the next game Lakers played chaotically, and the Grizzlies once completed the overtake, and at the critical moment, the thick eyebrows also appeared in the free throw 2 0 situation, fortunately, James stepped forward to help the Lakers stabilize the situation, and finally the Lakers refused to upset and won the game.
It's a pity that the Grizzlies lost the game, after all, the Lakers played quite badly in this game, Pippen Jr. and Goodwin once helped the Grizzlies and the Lakers to play inseparable, but unfortunately at the last moment the Grizzlies still lacked superstar players, and in the end the Grizzlies were still powerless to lose the game, at the end of the game, Pippen Jr. got 28 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Goodwin got 23 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists. As for the thick eyebrows, although they hit down 36 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, but the thick eyebrows almost became a sinner, after all, the thick eyebrows missed two free throws at the last moment of the fourth quarter, which made the Lakers quite passive.
Russell played a lot of time in this game, but Russell's performance in the game was very bad, at the end of the game, Russell got 4 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists in 2 of 9, of which the outside three-point was a terrible 5 in 0, it can be said that Russell's performance in such a crotch also made the Lakers uncomfortable. As for James, he also completed the redemption in the game, after all, James really made too many mistakes in this game, and James's so many mistakes were a huge blow to the Lakers, fortunately, in the fourth quarter of the game, James was carrying the team, and in this case, the Lakers were thrilling, and at the end of the game, James got 37 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 8 turnovers.
