On April 24, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Lakers trail the Nuggets 0-2 in a high-profile matchup in the West and will need to win four of their next five games to advance.
In the two games that have ended, the Lakers have had a very good chance of winning, they once led by 12 points in G1 and were eventually overturned, and they were killed by 20 points in G2. However, the Lakers have not lost confidence because of this, and they all expressed their willingness to win G3 in interviews.
Davis said in the interview: "Win G3. It's as simple as that, we're going to win G3. ”
James said: "All we have to do is defend the home stadium and that's my mentality right now. Obviously, the only thing that matters now is G3 and how we can get better. How can we get this team done. So, my current mentality is to defend G3 at home. ”
Coach Ham said: "The Nuggets defended their home court, and now it's our turn to defend ours. Instead of the first team to win one, two, three games, we just have to go back to home and do the same thing, and it all starts in G3. ”
According to statistics, in the history of the first round of the NBA playoffs, there have been 196 times when they have fallen behind 0-2, but only 13 times have the side behind to win. In other words, the Lakers only have a 7% chance of a successful comeback, and the same happened to the 76ers, who were 2-0 behind the Knicks.
According to the schedule, G3 between the Lakers and Nuggets will be played on April 26, and the Lakers will return to play at home.
