On April 26, Beijing time, the Lakers and the Nuggets' G3, this game is a life-and-death battle for the Lakers, as long as they lose, the Lakers have little hope. It's a pity that the Lakers were beaten by the Nuggets in the next three quarters when they went on a rampage on the offensive end in the first quarter, which is similar to G1. There is no way, the Lakers' offense and defense are no longer in rhythm, the offense is strong, and the defensive end is chaotic, which ultimately caused the 105-112 fiasco.
This game actually relied on James and Brother Thick Eyebrows. Especially the thick eyebrows, he has completed three consecutive games. In these three games, he is dominating the inside line, and even today the inside line grabbed three and played four, which is a regular picture. Helplessly, he really didn't have a helper. He was hungry to win, but his teammates were bad enough.
James is also a big focus. Although he is very tired, James has been playing with his own willpower, and he has scored 26+6+9 in 12 of 20, which is still very perfect. In fact, James also wanted to win, he wanted to win a game, but unfortunately he couldn't miss it in the end.
At this time, Rivers and Russell are all cancerous. Once Rivers doesn't shoot on the offensive end, then he will definitely collapse on the defensive end. Of course, garbage time has brushed some points, and now, he can't be the absolute core. And Russell has started to slump again this time, he can go on the offensive end, and Russell has maintained the G1 state in this game. 0-of-7 in the game, which was clearly not enough. As long as Russell can't open, the Lakers offense is very lacking.
At this point, Dinwiddie, Prince, and Vincent were barely able to see. Dinwiddie can play both offense and defense, Prince can defend Murray, and Vincent can help him defend. Unfortunately, their overall playing time is not very high, and Ham continues to give Rivers and Russell trust.
On the other hand, the Nuggets, all four cores are maintaining enough lethality, and Gordon, Jokic, Murray, and Porter combined to score 93 points. Of course, Murray's shooting percentage is a bit low, and the other players are perfect performances, and the Lakers can't do anything.
