April 17, Beijing time
The Lakers beat the Pelicans 110-106
The Lakers eventually advanced to 7th place in the playoffs through the playoffs
The first round of the playoffs will face the defending champion Nuggets
And the Pelicans want to advance to the playoffs
At that time, it can only defeat the 9.10th winning side in the West
So the Pelicans still have a 50% chance of advancing to 8th place in the playoffs
Both sides have done their best in this game
The Lakers' starting five scored in double figures
James 23 points, Russell 21 points and Davis 20 points
Reeves 16 points and Hachimura 13 points
Particularly commendable is Davis
Although he played with an injury, he still scored 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks
And he fought for offensive rebounds in the final moments
He made 2 free throws to lead the Pelicans by 4 points
And the Pelicans' Zion has completely proven itself on this game
Played 36 minutes
He finished with 40 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block
The reason why the Pelicans have a relationship with the Lakers
It's all relying on Zion to constantly attack the Lakers' restricted area again and again
If it weren't for the last 3 minutes he left the field injured
Zion might be able to lead the team to win the game
At the moment of leaving, he threw his towel angrily to vent his anger
Ingram was the most depressed of the game
As the second core of the Pelicans
Only played 24 minutes
He had 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers
Shot 4-of-12 from the field and shot a dismal 33.3% from the field
Pelicans head coach Willie Green is also very ruthless
In the final one-and-a-half quarters, Ingram was benched
The camera showed Inge also full of anger and depression
The Lakers led the Pelicans by 18 points at the most
I thought I had a chance to win
But at the last moment, Zion kept hitting the inside and scoring
James also immediately stepped forward to turn the tide
In the end, Russell hit a game-saving 3-pointer in the last 40 seconds
Davis grabbed an offensive rebound and made both free throws
The Lakers managed to hold on to the lead and win the game
The Lakers won the game
In the first round of the playoffs, they will face the Nuggets, the champions of the previous year
The Nuggets have been on the rise this season
After all, none of the starting 5 Tigers left the team and still maintained the starting lineup of the championship
The starting five, each of whom is an offensive and defensive player
Each player has the ability to handle the ball individually
Unlike the Pelicans, Zion has only one offensive strength
Whether the Lakers can succeed in black 7
We'll see
