In an NBA match, the Lakers lost 105-112 to the Nuggets.
This game was not only a simple loss, but also exposed the three embarrassing facts of the Lakers.
First, the superstar shines, and it is difficult to hide the defeat
When James and Brother Thick Eyebrows showed their individual abilities on the court again and again, bringing a visual feast to fans again and again, people can't help but ask: Why did the Lakers still lose?
This is indeed a puzzling question. The outstanding play of the two superstars should have led the Lakers to victory, but the reality was that the team lost repeatedly.
This begs the question, is there something wrong with the Lakers' tactical system, or is it that the performance of other players is not consistent enough?
In this game against the Nuggets, James and Bushy Eyebrows played well again, but the Lakers still failed to win.
This can't help but raise concerns about the future of the Lakers. After all, two superstars alone can't win a championship, and the whole team needs to be more united and tacit.
Second, rebounding became a fatal injury
Rebounding has always been a weakness for the Lakers.
In this game against the Nuggets, the problem was once again exposed.
The Nuggets have been excellent inside, grabbing key rebounds time and time again, creating more offensive opportunities for the team.
And the Lakers don't seem to have any other players other than the thick eyebrows who can pose a threat to the opponent when it comes to rebounding.
The loss of control of the rebounding ball directly led to the passivity of the Lakers in the game.
The Nuggets used their rebounding advantage to constantly launch secondary offenses, making the Lakers unguardable.
This also became a big reason why the Lakers lost.
3. Russell's form has been up and down
As one of the Lakers' leading scorers, Russell's performance has been in the spotlight.
But in this game, his performance was a big surprise.
In the last game, Russell hit seven three-pointers and showed excellent touch.
But in this game against the Nuggets, he felt cold and ridiculously iron.
The ups and downs of such a state make people worry about his future.
Russell's inconsistent performance also became an important factor in the Lakers' loss.
When the team needed him to step up, he couldn't play at his level.
This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for the Lakers.
The Lakers need to adjust as soon as possible
The three embarrassing facts exposed by the Lakers in this game undoubtedly cast a shadow over the future of the team.
If the Lakers want to do well in the next games, they will have to adjust their form and tactical system as soon as possible.
Only in this way will they be able to achieve better results in the next races and launch a strong attack on the championship.
