The Lakers lost again, a 20-point reversal, it's a pity, James tried his best, two key three-pointers in the fourth quarter, a key 2+1, but unfortunately the free throw didn't go in, and then a raw Murray counterattacked and dunked, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, 39 years old, this state is already very strong. Although the open three-pointer in the final moment was not shot, the flaw was not hidden, and James had already hit the last bullet. On the contrary, it was Brother Thick Eyebrows, who only missed 1 shot in 14 of the first 15 shots, but missed all 4 shots in the last 4 shots, and only made 1 shot in the fourth quarter, and couldn't catch the ball at all. The Lakers were reversed for many reasons, the opponent is really strong, but no matter how you say it, the 20-point lead is reversed, and you need to find a good reason.
Some people say that it is the Lakers' lack of bench strength today and the role players not playing. It's true that there are some negatives, but if you look at the Nuggets, it's normal for the role players to not play at such a high intensity. With the exception of Porter Jr. and Jokic, the Nuggets combined for 0-of-20 three-pointers, and they were more iron than the Lakers' role players. But the NBA playoffs are not decided by role players, the Lakers didn't score for 5 minutes at the end of the third quarter, and let the Nuggets score all the last 8 rounds of the fourth quarter.
It's not terrible for the Lakers to lose, it's terrible that the heart is gone. Therefore, in the post-game interview, the Lakers players were depressed, and the head coach Ham forced a smile, he said that this loss was very painful, but everyone had to cheer up, and it was another scene to return to Los Angeles, the series all started with an away win, the Nuggets 2-0 at home did not mean anything, and similarly, the Lakers fell behind 0-2 away, and it was not the end of the world. Ham also gave an example of the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals, where the Raptors fell behind the Bucks 0-2 away, but then the Raptors won four games in a row, defeated the Bucks 4-2 and advanced to the Finals, and the Raptors successfully won the championship that year in all unfavorable circumstances.
Hamm's example is apt and true. In 2019, the Raptors fought back from 0-2 down, won four games in a row, and defeated the Raptors led by the MVP of the season, Ham obviously wants to repeat the miracle of the 2019 Raptors in 2024, defeat the Nuggets led by Jokic, the MVP of the season (most likely him), and then advance all the way to the championship. Some people think that Hamm's words are funny, and they don't understand how many pounds and taels they have, but to be honest, at this time, if the head coach is not confident, then the players will basically collapse, and the series will be directly explained. There is no way to use Hamm's dead horse as a live horse doctor.
