On April 28, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs was white-hot. The struggling Lakers finally found the strength to fight back in a desperate situation, and successfully pulled one back with a 119-108 home win over the Nuggets, who led 3-0. In this key battle, the two main offensive cores of the Lakers, James and Davis, teamed up to score 76 points, especially James's 14-point performance in the final quarter, which made the team finally reverse the swept decline and win a valuable victory for the team. This game was undoubtedly a turning point in the Lakers' season, and it also rekindled people's hopes of completing a big comeback.
In the previous three games, the Lakers were in a frustrating predicament, not only falling behind 0-3, but also in a slump and suffering repeated setbacks on the offensive end. But in this crucial G4 battle, James and Davis teamed up to break out, scoring 76 points together, which became the key to the Lakers' victory.
James played 40 minutes and had 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Especially in the crucial final quarter, James played bravely and scored 14 points to lead the Lakers to a narrow victory. In the previous three games, James's form was obviously not as good as in the regular season, but in this crucial battle, he completely found his form, not only shooting 54.5% from the field, but also hitting 5 three-pointers, fully demonstrating his all-round skills.
In addition to the excellent play of James and Davis, another key figure for the Lakers is thick eyebrows. In this game, the thick eyebrows lived up to expectations and once again became a key factor in the Lakers' victory.
In the whole game, thick eyebrows played 41 minutes and scored 25 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block with a high shooting rate of 11 of 17. As the most dominant player on the Lakers offensive and defensive ends, thick eyebrows' tough interior scoring on the offensive end and outstanding performance on the defensive end not only made the Nuggets helpless, but also became the key force for the Lakers to turn defeat into victory.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous three games, thick eyebrows averaged 32.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, and the shooting rate was as high as 61.5%. In this campaign, thick eyebrows once again showed their excellent form and gave hope to Lakers fans with their practical actions. As one of the two cores of the Lakers, the performance of thick eyebrows has undoubtedly become the key to this game.
While the Lakers have been on the back foot in the previous three games, this pivotal G4 battle has given them a chance to bounce back. Zhan Mei teamed up to score 76 points, and the outstanding performance of the thick eyebrows and two doubles allowed the Lakers to end the embarrassing record of 11 consecutive defeats against the Nuggets and pull back a city.
The win undoubtedly gave the Lakers a lot of motivation and confidence. In the history of the NBA, no team has been able to complete a 3-0 comeback, but the Lakers still don't give up hope. In his post-match interview, James admitted, "We're still hopeful, we're going to play game by game until the last minute." Such confidence and determination undoubtedly point out the direction for the future of the Lakers.
In the next game, the Lakers must maintain the determination and fighting spirit to turn the situation around, one game at a time. They will need to continue to play with the strong attacking power of Zhan Mei, while also strengthening their overall defensive performance in order to make the next goal in the next game. Only then will they be able to finally complete this historic reversal.
Regardless of the final outcome, this G4 victory has breathed new life into the Lakers. They will continue to fight until the last moment, and prove with their practical actions that even in a desperate situation, as long as they have faith and determination, any difficulties can be overcome. As one of the most legendary teams in NBA history, the Lakers are set to regain their glory this difficult season.
