The Lakers beat the Pelicans 110-106, and this game is really the perfect script for a reversal drama, who is the protagonist of this drama?
First of all, let's talk about this James, although his shooting in this game was not too accurate - only 6 of 20 shots, 1 of 5 three-point shots, but you have to look at his perfect free throws, all 10 free throws! A total of 23 points, plus 9 rebounds and 9 assists, as well as 3 steals and 2 blocks, it is really an all-round no. The plus/minus on the court is as high as +11, doesn't this show how the Lakers have a solid advantage when he is on the court? Although the score is not the highest, this all-round contribution has to be admired for his ease.
Then we have to talk about thick eyebrows, this young man may not be in good shape today, after all, the impact of injuries is there. He made just 6 of 16 shots, but made 6 of 8 free throws, scoring a total of 20 points. Most crucially, he grabbed 15 rebounds and had three blocks on the defensive end, showing his defensive ability. Although he was a bit of a butter hand, the two frontcourt rebounds at the critical moment stabilized the position for the Lakers.
Let's talk about Russell, this guy was really in good shape today, especially that crucial three-pointer, which was just a game-set. 21 points in the game, plus 6 assists and 1 steal, this plus/minus +16 is the highest on the team, do you say bull or not?
Let's not forget Reeves, this inconspicuous guy, who can still stand up at critical moments. With 16 points in the game, plus five rebounds and six assists, his consistent play was also an integral part of the Lakers. It's not the kind of shining star, but it's the kind of steady luminous body.
Speaking of Hachimura, this young man's performance today was really efficient, hitting 5 shots in 6 shots, and those two three-pointers, which can be described as a stroke of genius. With 13 points, although there are not many rebounds and assists, the limitation of Zion on the defensive end is also quite weighty, and his performance is also one of the key factors that helped the team win.
And, of course, the brothers off the bench, both Prince and Hayes had good performances, especially Prince's glossy steals and blocks, which are still fresh in people's minds. Although Vincent did not score much, his defensive attitude and timely scoring also contributed to the team's victory.
Overall, the Lakers didn't just rely on the performance of one person in this game, but the whole team combined to make them come from behind in the game and finally win. Everyone played to their strengths, especially on the defensive end and the consistency in key moments, which was the key to their ability to turn around and win the game. Therefore, the hero of this game is not one person, but the entire Lakers team as a whole! In front of them, even challenging opponents can only surrender. It's not just a win in a game, it's a showcase of teamwork and individual heroism.
