Los Angeles, the atmosphere is so tense that it is almost dripping, the Nuggets are playing a demon, 112-105 to win the Lakers, this is to send the Lakers home to farm! After three games, the Nuggets have a 3-0 lead, and this game is like a realistic version of "how is it possible" for the Lakers.
Let's talk about our big brother first, Nikola Jokic, isn't this guy the thigh on the court today? 24 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists, he is simply an all-round warrior, and he is just a little bit closer to a triple-double. Jokic is like that eternal backer on the court, if you push me, I won't fall, and I can still help you up. Should the fans consider giving him the nickname "Little Train", slowly pulling it up, and finally giving you a big fire to collect the juice.
Aaron Gordon, this guy really burned today, 29 points and 15 rebounds, like the kind of bad boy who can find a way to score no matter how you defend me. When the fans saw his performance, did they silently think in their hearts: "Isn't this the ruthless character we want!"
Then let's talk about the Lakers, although LeBron James is old and strong, he also scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists today, but unfortunately, the basketball game is a game of five people, not one person can carry it. Although Anthony Davis scored 33 points and 15 rebounds, he is more like a lone hero on the court, trying his best, but basketball is not a guerrilla, and one person's heroism can't save the team.
The most critical part of the game was in the third quarter, when the Nuggets seemed to open the door to a new world, and a 34-22 wave of attack pushed the Lakers to the edge of the cliff. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were in a hurry and used foul tactics to try to recover, but the Nuggets' free throws were as if they were under contract, and they hit them accurately one by one.
In the final analysis, the Lakers' outside shooting today is really worrying, and the whole team only hit 5 three-pointers, which is like playing a shooting percentage challenge. As for rebounding, the Nuggets have the upper hand with a 51-38 advantage, and the Lakers' rebounds are like a basket that has leaked the bottom, and they can't grab it.
Seeing that the Nuggets have got the match point, and the next game is still on the Lakers' home court, if the Lakers can't play a little spirit, then this sweep out is not possible, but inevitable. Are fans secretly mourning for the Lakers in their hearts, and at the same time expecting a miracle?
Overall, this game was more than just a win, but a strong declaration for the Nuggets in the playoffs. The Lakers, this time it is really a battle against the water, and if they don't blow the horn of counterattack, they can only exit the game. And the Nuggets, they just need one more "simmer", and this series is theirs. Fans, fasten your seatbelts and stay tuned for this high-energy playoff game!
