In an NBA playoff game that ended today, the Lakers lost 105-112 to the Nuggets, the process was quite intense, the Lakers led by 10 points in the first quarter, the Nuggets narrowed the gap in the second quarter, and the third quarter became a turning point, the Nuggets were full of firepower and won by 12 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers launched counterattacks many times in the final quarter, but Jokic, Porter, Gordon and Murray can always respond, and the Lakers have no choice but to lose in the end. In terms of statistics, thick eyebrows slashed 33 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, James 26 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers, Reaves 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, the Lakers only these three scored double-doubles, and Russell scored 0 of 7.

Looking back on the start of this round of the series, the Lakers had all kinds of rhetoric, but it became 0-3 behind, and the Lakers have suffered a humiliating 11-game losing streak in the face of the Nuggets, in the history of the NBA, there has never been an example of 0-3 falling behind and being able to turn the tables, not to mention that there is a strength gap between the Lakers and the Nuggets themselves, so the Lakers elimination is already a foregone conclusion, the only suspense in the series is whether they can be swept away, frankly speaking, the Lakers must win G4, first of all, this is a matter of dignity, being swept out by the same opponent for two consecutive years, it is really ugly。 Secondly, James is considered the second person in NBA history, and if he is swept 3 times in his career, it will definitely have an impact on his historical status.

What's more, if he is swept directly, will James consider retiring? He will have a player option next season, if he retires directly, it will definitely not be the result that fans want to see, and it will also be a huge loss for the league, even if it is 1-4 out, it will be much better than being swept, at least so James should not retire, and it is not a problem to play for another year, after the game, many fans are also complaining that the Nuggets really don't need to be too ruthless, G4 should release water to give the Lakers some face, and G5 will return to the home court to harvest the series. Looking back at these three games, the Lakers are leading by double digits at most, and then reversed, the Nuggets' ability to play adversity is too strong, and no matter how much we fall behind, we don't panic, of course, this is also related to James' physical inability to maintain the whole game.

You have to find the reason for losing, looking at the whole game, the Lakers mainly exposed four problems, the first is that the outside line is too iron, only 5 of 27 shots, and even 1 of 16 at one point is so irony that it can't be seen, and the Nuggets are not allowed to make three points (5 of 28), but they are very timely, and they can determine the trend of the game. Secondly, James played a bit like G1 today, the start was quite hard, big hat pop, dunk, hook, layup, everything, but it was not a good thing for Lao Zhan to exert his strength in advance, and sure enough, in the second half, James had physical problems again, inexplicably dribbling out of bounds, and there was a round of thick eyebrows under the basket 1 hit 5, James still did not come over in the backcourt. Secondly, Russell couldn't play directly, and he didn't score 1 point on 0-of-7 shooting, but you are the Lakers' starting point guard.

Russell had some open opportunities, but he couldn't shoot alive, he hesitated when he shot in the second half, obviously losing confidence, in this round of the series, Russell played a good game in G2, but if he made a few more three-pointers, maybe the Lakers had a chance to win one, it turned out that Russell couldn't play a tough game, and he quickly traded it off in the offseason. The third reason for the loss was that the Lakers rebounded and fell behind 38-51, and the frontcourt board lost 6 (8-14), and Gordon single-handedly exploded the entire Lakers team in many rounds. The final reason for the loss was that Ham was too stubborn in employing people, like Russell and Reaves did not defend and did not score when the Lakers lost power in the third quarter, but they still stayed on the court for a long time, and Prince and Dinwiddie, who were well defended, did not use it, which was incomprehensible.

James was interviewed after the game, and when talking about the Nuggets' performance in this series, James said: "This team has no weaknesses, they are one of the strongest teams I have played against in my career," which is easy to understand, and James acknowledged the strength of the Nuggets. Subsequently, when talking about the defeat, Lao Zhan said: "The challenges we face in each game are different, the team will make different adjustments in each game, this game is over, we have not done it to the extreme, we have to find a different strategy and then execute it." ”

The next thing is the point, when talking about the 0-3 down, James replied: "As long as you haven't been eliminated, you have to have faith, you will play until the wheel falls, we have to try to get the next win, and then continue to move forward on that basis," James's meaning is easy to understand, first of all, he is not satisfied with the performance of the Lakers G3 and thinks that adjustments need to be made. Secondly, James will not give up, he vows to win G4, and then move on, it can be seen that Lao Zhan is still full of confidence, which is a reminder to his teammates that as long as the series is not over, he must fight with all his might.

Or as mentioned earlier, even if it is for the sake of face, the Lakers have to win G4 anyway, after all, it is too ugly to be swept for two consecutive years. Next, James also talked about Russell's poor performance, he said: "We will never lose faith in him, Russell is Russell," even Lao Zhan was encouraging after the game, I hope Russell can see the reality, Zhan Mei alone can't shake the Nuggets, if you can play, the Lakers have a hope of winning. Finally, according to statistics, the thick eyebrows have scored 30+ in all 3 games, and can average 32.3 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.
