Moving to the City of Angels, the Lakers once again staged a familiar story with the cheers of the home fans - the third halftime lead in the series, which was also the sixth halftime lead in the last 11 games with the Nuggets, but basketball is made up of four quarters of the game, and at the end of each fourth quarter, it will be Jokic's Denver Janissaries who will have the last laugh. When the score was finally fixed at 105-112, it meant that James had lost ten consecutive games against the Nuggets, which was the first time in Lao Zhan's long career that such a team was so strong that it made people desperate and made LeBron feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
At the same time, James is also facing the unfavorable situation of falling behind 0-3 in the series for the first time, he has also hesitated and confused, but he has reversed the situation at a critical moment, not to put himself in such a passive situation, even if he faced the universe Yong at the beginning, he was only 1-3 behind, this time the thirty-year-old man really stood on the edge of the cliff, and there was no way to retreat. No team in NBA history has ever been able to complete a comeback from 3-0 down, and the Lakers are clearly unlikely to be an exception. The last team that could fall behind 0-3 and once equalized the score was the Lakers' old rival Celtics, who once rewrote the score to 3-3 against the Butler-led Heat last season, but still lost in the tiebreaker.
Judging from the statistics after the game, Lao Zhan shot 12 of 20 from the field, handed over 26 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Lao Zhan has been criticized for a point, or at the last moment of the game, the regular time is less than 20 seconds, the Lakers' backwardness needs at least 3 balls to erase, at this time if you still want to win except for the fight for three different ways, Lao Zhan once again found another way - his iron-blooded layup is so solid, and the situation on the court is incompatible.
It is conceivable how big everyone's opinions will be in the post-game evaluation, a leading star does not take victory as the first purpose, but at this time he thinks about the personal data column, or "brushes" the key moment to score in front of the public, in all fairness, it is indeed a little undignified. Maybe a few years later, many fans will forget that Lao Zhan also had such a "not very decent episode" in his glamorous career, and will only remember his "411 Project" and his contribution to the sport, but at least in the short term, the label of "iron and blood" will follow Lao Zhan for a while.
Perkins, a former NBA player who is now an ESPN commentator, commented: "Unless Jokic retires early, LeBron will never have any hope of winning the championship." Obviously, at the age of 29, Mr. Yoo will never quit the league before the elder Zhan, but Perkins' comments also paint a picture of James' current situation, which is really heartfelt. What's even more terrifying is that in this game, Mr. Yoo actually didn't exert much force, he didn't use the kind of ruthlessness that he shouldered the burden of scoring, so he organized a series and won the victory with the regular season mode, and it was Mr. Yoo's partner "Uncrowned Slam Dunk King" Aaron Gordon who actually broke the Lakers' interior line.
Judging from the picture of the camera sweeping the Lakers bench before the end of the game, the morale of the Purple and Gold generals has been lost, in the upcoming battle of face, can they protect their home court? Can James break the losing streak against the Nuggets?
