The NBA playoffs continued as the Lakers beat the Nuggets 119-108 at home, ending a three-game playoff losing streak. In this game, the Lakers continued to suppress the Nuggets at the beginning, and from the second half of the first quarter, they have been controlling a lead of about 10 points, and extended the advantage to more than 15 points at most in the second half. Although the Nuggets then launched a counterattack, this time, the Lakers seemed to be fully prepared in terms of mentality, they did not collapse, but stabilized the offense and defense, maintained the advantage to the end, and won smoothly. 赢球后，湖人在这组系列赛以1-3的大比分处于落后，拒绝被横扫！那么这场湖人到底赢在哪里？或许数据可以给我们一些答案。
1. James is really getting older and more demonic! 6 of 8 in the final quarter, scoring 14 points alone. Every time the key score is to be narrowed, Lao Zhan can always resist the explosive bag to score the ball! Judging from the state of James in the last quarter, he seems to have deliberately allocated his physical strength to the critical moment, but fortunately, the rest of the Lakers stood up and stabilized the first three quarters for the team. James, who shot 14-of-23 from the field, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scored 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 6 turnovers, with a plus/minus of +1.
2. Thick eyebrows, 11 of 17 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, he scored 25 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +11. Thick eyebrows are really good in this year's playoffs, and today thick eyebrows once again played the performance that the core boss of a championship team should have. was able to explode with Jokic, and even suppressed Jokic, today he came back with various mid-range shots and throws, and cut nearly 20+20 explosive data in the third quarter, and I feel that Jokic can't prevent him.
Thick Brow Series
It's not easy to have thick eyebrows, in these four games, you have to rely on yourself to attack, and you still have to defend yourself. 湖人防守体系全靠浓眉支撑起来。 On the Nuggets side, Mureyjokic is not the main defensive man. The contribution of thick eyebrows in the game is no worse than Jokic.
3. Russell, 8-of-15 shooting and 4-of-8 three-pointers, he contributed 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +15. Russell's performance has always been the weather vane of the Lakers, today he ushered in a rebound, and has maintained a good efficiency from beginning to end, every time the Nuggets counterattack, Russell can always stand up and hit three points to help the Lakers stop the momentum, this is what the Lakers want to see Russell.
Russell has really improved a lot from the previous game. If they can't get up, the Lakers won't have any chance against the Nuggets, and today is the best example. If you can't score a point as the main guard of the Lakers, you will definitely not be able to win if you rely on James's thick eyebrows to play inside. And Russell has to be consistent at this point for the Lakers to win. The Lakers can't treat him as a surprise soldier, and today's cooperation with the thick eyebrows is fantastic, and the open three points can almost be grasped!
4. Reaves, who shot 7-of-15 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, he had 21 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of +1 on the court. Reeves' performance today is the epitome of his season, fragrant and smelly. He took on some of the ball-handling offense in the first three quarters, and the overall effect was good. 但末节上头了，湖人领先10分剩下一分半钟，里弗斯不压时间打，上去直接一发中投打铁被反击2分...... He is physically limited, and Reaves on the defensive end can only be said to be very average in limiting the Nuggets' guards, and there was a leakage in defense in this game. Overall, I have an attitude today. The Lakers deserve a win.
Lao Zhan was dissatisfied with the referee's decision
5. Hachimura, shot 4-of-8 from the field and 1-of-3 from three-point range, he got 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, with a plus/minus of +13 on the court. Prince, who shot 3-of-7 from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, contributed nine points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one turnover. Today, Prince is still the most consistent point on the Lakers' bench, he is decisive in his impact, and he does not delay things when he has the opportunity. Hachimura's overall performance in this round of the series is very average, and I feel that Hachimura's defense is really a little poor, for example, his two consecutive fouls in the first half are not necessary, and when he has to defend at the last moment, he feels that there is no need to be on him
6.恭喜湖人时隔498天终于再次战胜掘金，终结11连败，詹姆斯上次战胜掘金，还要追溯到2022年12月17日。 The last time he won, Wei Shao was still in the formation [covering his face] [covering his face]
7. The Nuggets regretted not being able to complete their sweep of the Lakers today [covering their faces] [covering their faces], and Murray's performance in this series was not excellent. To tell the truth, this round of the series is actually a bit biased towards the Nuggets, the Nuggets bench is more abstract than the Lakers, it is not easy to meet the Timberwolves in the second round, Murray's state is a worrying point, if he can't play, it will be difficult to defend the title this season
