The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and at 10:00 Beijing time on April 26, the third matchup between the Lakers and the Nuggets has attracted the attention of the world. The Lakers suffered two straight losses in the playoffs, and the situation is quite grim. In this campaign, the Lakers have the home-court advantage, and whether they can reverse the decline has attracted the attention of fans.
After two rounds of the playoffs, the core system led by Lao Zhan and thick eyebrows performed well, averaging 39 rebounds, 23 assists and 101 points per game, shooting 48.5% from the field. Lao Zhan and Thick Mei played well, averaging 58.5 points, 19.5 rebounds and 13.5 assists per game. On the offensive end, the Lakers' starting five Tigers are full of firepower, which is not inferior to their opponents in any way. However, the bench's unsatisfactory performance led to the Lakers leading and then reversing in both games.
The Nuggets are riding a two-game winning streak in the playoffs, and the situation is bright and optimistic. With Jokic and Murray as the core, the offense and defense are strong on both ends. In the first two games of the playoffs, the Nuggets averaged 107.5 points, 47 rebounds, 26.5 assists per game, and shot 44.5% from the field. The two cores, Jokic and Murray, combined for 50.5 points, 27.5 rebounds and 14 assists per game. With overall strength and home-court advantage, the Nuggets reversed the Lakers in two consecutive games. However, playing away from home, the Nuggets may still be a little nervous.
In-depth analysis of this game: After two rounds of the playoffs, the Lakers averaged 6.5 fewer points per game than the Nuggets on the offensive end, but the shooting percentage was 4% higher than that of their opponents, showing a higher scoring efficiency. However, the Lakers did not perform as well as the Nuggets on the defensive end, averaging eight fewer rebounds per game, which is worrying. Despite this, the firepower of the Lakers' core system has not diminished, and in the matchup between Thick Eyebrows and Jokic, they averaged 2.5 more points per game. Lao Zhan averaged 26.5 points and 10 assists per game in the first two rounds, outperforming Porter. In the first two playoffs, although the Lakers once led, they were reversed by the Nuggets, and they were killed by 20 points in the last round. Returning to their home court in this game, the Lakers have a strong desire for revenge, and under the leadership of Lao Zhan and thick eyebrows, they are expected to show strong firepower. In this game, the Nuggets will be unable to get out of the game, and the Lakers are expected to roar at their opponents. (This article is for pre-match analysis only)
