On April 26, Beijing time, in G3 of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers returned to their home court against the Nuggets. In the same process as the first two games, the Lakers had a strong momentum, but they were chased by the Nuggets while playing, and in the second half, they were completely under the control of the Nuggets. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 105-112, and the series fell behind 0-3.
It's really not that the Lakers don't want to win the game, it's really just that the Nuggets are too strong, and they are completely leading the Lakers. In fact, the Lakers also have a chance, but they didn't grasp it themselves, and the three-point hand was very sluggish, hitting only 5 three-pointers in the whole game, and the Nuggets also hit 5 goals. In addition, Jokic had 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes, and the Lakers also missed the opportunity, and Jokic still had 2 fouls at halftime, and the opportunity was just slipped away. And Russell, who should have needed to explode the most, was completely lost this time.
Russell's outbreak in the last game gave the team hope, but I didn't expect to lose my face this time. The game played 24 minutes, 0-of-7, 0-of-6 three-pointers, did not score a point, and contributed nothing on the court. When he played again in the final quarter of the game, he hit the iron again with two consecutive three-pointers, which was directly booed by the fans in the audience and directly lost his value. Even if Russell scored a three-pointer in this game, the result may have been different, but unfortunately he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and finally sat on the bench and ate by himself.
0-3 behind, which means that the Lakers have come to the brink of elimination, in the history of the NBA, no team has been able to complete the reversal from 0-3 down, last season's Celtics successfully dragged into the tie-break, but unfortunately it was a little bit worse to create a miracle. And now the Lakers have a chance? The answer is no, there is no chance at all, they really can't beat the Nuggets, facing them have suffered 11 consecutive defeats, and James is even more rarely convinced.
In his post-match interview, James bluntly said: "This team has no weaknesses, they are one of the strongest teams I have played against in my career. It is not easy to get this praise from James, who was swept 4-0 by the Nuggets in the West last season, and may be swept again. James has already set a number of career worst results against the Nuggets, suffering seven consecutive losses in the playoffs for the first time (all lost to the Nuggets), and falling behind 0-3 in the first round of the playoffs for the first time in his career.
