Another world famous painting was born. In the face of the extreme flutter of thick eyebrows, Murray jumped high, super backwards, jumped and shot, and the ball into the light was perfect to press the whistle. At that moment, the court boiled and the Nuggets celebrated wildly. This shot could also ruin the Lakers' entire season-long efforts.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Murray was possessed by the Grim Reaper, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, including that stunner. It's true that the Lakers are pretty close to winning the game, but that's the playoffs.
How amazing is Murray's stunner, since 2000, only three players have made a stunner in 20+ reversals, except for Horry who faced the Kings in 2002 and Doncic who faced the Clippers in 2020.
In this battle, the Lakers once led by 20 points, and finally were dragged into the decisive victory, which is what the Lakers renewed their contract to reflect on. And in the last round, their defense was actually quite good, but luck was not on their side. If James had been able to shoot an open three-pointer, perhaps the game would have been over long ago.
James suffered a six-game losing streak in the playoffs, the longest of his career. What's more heart-wrenching is that according to statistics, when the Lakers fell behind 0-2 in 7 series, their final series record was 2-20, with a 9.1% probability of advancement.
