103-114, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets. James had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, thick eyebrows 32 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, and the duo combined for 59 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists to perform flawlessly.
James 27+6+8, Lakers lost to Nuggets
With a revenge mentality, James and the thick eyebrows duo teamed up to hit:
James steals and counters for layup
Dinwiddie led the defense and caused Reggie to make a mistake, and James made a steal and counterattack layup, which helped the Lakers build a 12-point advantage at 49-37, but then the half-quarter:
Russell had three points and three points
After the team's offense had problems, Ham replaced Dinwiddie with Russell, and as a result, today's Russell was in a very poor offensive state as we saw the picture, and even shot three non-sticks, so when Russell missed two three-point shots and missed the throw, the Nuggets only used three minutes to chase the score to 51-51 with a wave of 12-2 counterattack.
James is a three-pointer from a distance
Fortunately, the thick eyebrows' subsequent dunk, Reaves' mid-range, James' strong burst and the ultra-long three-point at the last moment helped the team to temporarily lead 60-57, note, first-half data: thick eyebrows 11 in 7 bombardment 18 points, James 10 in 7 bombardment 19 points, Russell is 4 in 11, 3 points in 5 in 0, with the highest number of shots in Ping thick eyebrows only 8 points, three-point feel is not online, it stands to reason, as a head coach should be used cautiously, not to mention that there is no offensive threat, Russell's defense is a weakness, but the facts?
Russell singled out Jokic
Yibian fought again, Russell was not only still present, but even as we saw in the picture, he actually had the weight of a heads-up teacher.
Russell misses a layup and Murray makes a three-pointer
In the worst round, James sent a wonderful pass, an excellent opportunity to go to the basket, and it was his favorite left-handed finish, Russell couldn't go up; at the price, the Nuggets counterattacked, Murray hit the bottom right corner to chase down the three points, chasing the score to 67-67, and this ball was also a key turning point in the game, Murray was the leader, the Nuggets' three-point open, so from 75-76 behind one point, the current situation of the two teams:
Russell was 0-of-6 from three-point range
Thick eyebrows hit three points of iron, James made a passing error, Russell as we saw the picture, absolutely empty three points and still hit iron, thick eyebrows three points second iron, James three points also missed, Hachimura three points and hit iron again, the team three points in a row 5 consecutive irons:
Pope three points
Pope slammed three three-pointers, and the Nuggets went on a 13-0 run to set the score at 75-89, and the Lakers fell behind by 14 points in an instant, the most critical turning point of the game.
Note that as of that time, Russell not only remained on the court, but also took 16 shots, higher than the 15 of Bushy Eyebrows and James's 14, but as a result, he only scored 10 points on 5-of-16 and 0-of-6 from three-point range, and the offense was completely out of order, and the Lakers' offense could not match one of the important factors for the Nuggets.
It is true that if the Lakers want to win, they can't do without Russell's normal play, but his offense is already seriously abnormal, and Ham still has to reuse it, which is a failure, not to mention, the team is not without shooters.
James assists Prince with a three-pointer
The team's goal to break the scoring drought, James helped Prince to blast a three-pointer into the bottom right corner, which is a reality proof.
What's even more incredible is that after the third quarter of the battle, Russell's offense has been a mess, but in the final quarter, Coach Hamm still continued to reuse, the most disastrous offensive and defensive round:
Russell hit a three-pointer, and Porter Jr. made a key three
James and thick eyebrows tried their best to chase the score to 96-103, but this offense, with 12 seconds left and thick eyebrows did not completely block the opportunity, Russell forced a three-point iron;
At this point, you look at the Lakers being reversed by the Nuggets, as mentioned above, Coach Ham's reuse of Russell is a failure, which is reflected in the data, Russell has 20 shots that surpass James as the second most on the team, but only hit 6 goals, 1 of 9 outside the three-point line only contributed 13 points, and the 30%+11% low shooting rate cannot match the offense in this game at all, the most important factor in the Lakers' defeat, not to mention, when his offense is not online, the defense is a fatal shortcoming?
