In Game 3 of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers hosted the Nuggets. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers sitting at home took the lead in entering the state, the Lakers played an 18-9 offensive to seize the start, and the Nuggets started slowly, and at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets 33-23. In the second quarter of the competition, the Nuggets warmed up, and they played an 8-2 offensive in the middle to close the score, and at halftime, the Lakers led the Nuggets 53-49.
Yibian fought again, the Nuggets began to exert their strength, played a wave of 15-4 offensive and took a 10-point lead in one fell swoop, and at the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets 83-75 Lakers. In the final quarter, the Nuggets firmly controlled the situation on the court, and Porter Jr. scored 8 points in a row to kill the suspense of the game, and finally the Nuggets defeated the Lakers 112-105, and the total score of the series was 3-0 to get the match point.
Nuggets player stats: Jokic 24 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists, Gordon 29 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, Murray 22 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, Porter Jr. 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Lakers player stats: Thick eyebrows 33 points and 15 rebounds, James 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Reaves 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals, Dinwiddie 8 points, Prince 7 points.
Nine facts that have to be admitted:
1. James was powerless, playing 42 minutes, 12 of 20 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and got 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. James really doesn't defend, he doesn't have any heart at all, it seems to be very efficient, but in fact, the sense of existence of the game is very low, his data has basically nothing to do with the team's wins and losses, the data is very beautiful, the defense is standing in place, looking forward to his big explosion in this game, but it's too disappointing, his feet are like lead, I don't see his attitude of wanting to win, he stands motionless at the critical moment, he is really old, the star level is not on the opposite side, the strength gap is really not beatable, and the hero is late.
2. Thick eyebrows tried their best to score 31 points and 15 rebounds efficiently. Thick eyebrows are the real thighs of the Lakers, the most stable point of the Lakers, he really wants to win, he can be said to have done his best, offense and defense are integrated, the defense must be against Jokic, always one to steal five, and the offense has to face the bag, thick eyebrows are too difficult. I really can't bring it, I went around and around and returned to the feeling of empty chopping in the Pelicans in those years, with an average of 30+10 per game not being able to get back a victory, but it's a pity that the thick eyebrows are in such a good state.
3. Russell was a pure undercover agent, played 24 minutes, missed all 7 shots and did not score. Russell is really unpredictable, the first game was inefficient, the second game was recovering and the three-point hand was hot, and this game was lost again, not scoring a point, it was too abstract. really lost his value, there was still room for comfortable shots without intensity in the regular season, and it really depends on fate if the intensity in the playoffs is not high. I still can't play a high-end game, against the sky, it's very difficult to score 0 points in a game.
4, Ham can get out of class, there is really no tactics, and he is still on the third guard, he was beaten by Jokic, whether it is tactical running or rotation, there is no order, on the other side Malone is desperately directing the players, on the other hand, Ham has his hands in his pockets, rolling his eyes, the contrast is too obvious, the suspension has been left is not used, the players do have a gap, but it will not be a game that cannot be won and the game is overturned, and the next game may be Ham's last game of coaching with the Lakers.
5. Jokic continued to play efficiently, easily scoring 24 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists. Jokic is too terrifying, a little effort to directly break the opposite side, it is really powerful, there used to be Lao Zhan's team had Gundam, now Gundam is on the opposite side, slow dribbling, slow looking for someone, and a turn around to score 2 + 1, this is the dominance shown by Mr. Jokic, easy to handle, he didn't even play seriously at all, he deserves to be the most dominant player in the active service, and his influence on the game is obviously higher than that of other players.
6. Gordon incarnated as a god of war under the basket, slashing 29 points and 15 rebounds. Today, Gordon dunked and dunked well, and the fancy air cut under the basket blew up the Lakers, eating cakes and eating support, and the rebounds were too fierce, the opposite side really dared to let him go, the Lakers' defense let Gordon do whatever he wanted, he was ordered by James in the Magic back then, and now he can finally order James, it's so good, Gordon and Jokic are a perfect match.
7. Murray played averagely, playing 40 minutes, shooting 8 of 21, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 22 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Murray's performance was decent, he didn't play the level of the playoff god of war, and he didn't feel good about the three-point shooting recently, but he did a good job of organizing the tandem team, and finally gave up the empty three-point position, which was very decent. It can only be said that the Nuggets' margin for error is too high, and Murray's state can generally suppress the Lakers properly, if Murray is in good shape, the Lakers have no power to fight back.
8, Porter Jr. is really strong, he scored 20 points and 10 rebounds in this game, and he has no solution again and again, the Lakers are really unable to defend, 2.08 meters tall and jumper, the feeling of basically ignoring the defense, fighting for rebounds is also very positive, he only looks at his personal feel, but as soon as he hits the Lakers, he will come hard, and the last few dry pull-out jumpers will directly kill the game, if Porter Jr. has maintained this state, the Nuggets' championship is stable.
9. The Nuggets beat the Lakers again, leading the Lakers 3-0 in the series and getting the match point. The Lakers really can't beat the Nuggets, in fact, in the last game, with Murray beating the Lakers, this round of the series has ended, the Lakers' spirit has been defeated, the Nuggets have played a terrifying 12-game winning streak in the face of the Lakers, it is really a proper blood suppression, Jokic's strong dominance, Murray, Porter Jr., Gordon and other players play steadily, the strength of the Nuggets is bottomless, and it is likely that the championship will be successfully defended. On the other hand, the Lakers may need to rebuild, James is indeed old, and taking him as the core of the team will only get farther and farther away from the championship, and in addition to the James Mei Lakers, other role players are really unreliable, and the Lakers should consider the offseason rebuild.
