Will James lead the Lakers from the play-in tournament to the Finals? The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel. When the G2 of the Lakers and Nuggets entered the final moment in the playoffs, first James's empty 3-point score, then Murray's whistle kill! Then Davis, who blocked Murray, fell to the Nuggets bench and became the background board for the Nuggets celebration! The process picture is very classic, and the result is very intuitive, the Lakers are 0:2 behind the Nuggets.
Once again, it comes to the familiar scoring part of the playoffs, and in the NBA playoffs, the probability of finally advancing after falling behind 0:2 is only 7.3%. The Lakers' prospects for advancement are not optimistic.
There are 10 incredible things about G2 itself:
First, James missed a key three-point shot, which would be different if he grasped it! But he didn't grasp it, which is the annotation of the 39-year-old age;
The second is that Jokic's stats are not much more than Davis's, but his role on the court is much worse. Davis can't win with 30 points, but Jokic can win with 30 points, but the Nuggets can win;
The third is the Nuggets coach "killing people", at the end of the first half, he found that the Lakers were physically unable to bear it, and the Lakers led 10 points at that time.
Fourth, the Lakers still have few people who play, why they always can't play in the second half and are reversed, which is essentially the reason.
Fifth, Jokic played 27+20+10 and played 41 minutes, you see he is not tired!
Sixth, the Lakers have never had a third scoring point, and they are practicing James and Davis back and forth, so it is not much for them to score 20~30 points per game! According to the current style of play, unless they average 70 points per game, it is not easy to win.
Seven is that James angrily sprayed the referee today, judging from the data, the Lakers fouled 20 times, the Nuggets fouled 17 times, and the free throws were 13 to 17, which is actually okay!
Eight is to lose or not control the rebounds, the Nuggets have 45 rebounds, the Lakers have 38, and it is said that the teacher can grab 20 rebounds, which is a bit of a problem.
Nine is Davis said he can defend Jokic alone, and G3 can consider trying.
Ten is that the Lakers have led first and then fallen behind in 2 consecutive games, indicating that they are missing a strange soldier. During the regular season, everyone thought it might be Dinwiddie, and he was 0 points in G2. Who could that be?
