On April 30, Beijing time, the Lakers ushered in the half-game of the life-and-death battle with the Nuggets, James thick eyebrows once again exerted his might, facing the life-and-death battle, Zhan Huang, who averaged 33.8 points per game, was full of firepower, and joined hands with thick eyebrows to continue to gain a 53-50 advantage in the half, but after three quarters, they were already 79-81 behind.
There were 3 controversial blows again in this game, and it should be said that the referees are still unfavorable to the Lakers in terms of blowing penalties, especially in the second quarter, when it was 7 minutes and 29 seconds, the Nuggets were 3 points behind, James and Gordon carried out a normal card position, and both sides had some physical contact actions, but to be honest, there was nothing too much.
As a result, I never expected that the referee suddenly blew Zhan Huang's foul, LeBron was very dissatisfied, couldn't understand the referee's blow, and said that he didn't know what was going on, because it was true that this round was really outrageous. Not only that, but the most outrageous round was when the game was played at the beginning of the game at 9 minutes and 35 seconds, and they had a challenge at the beginning, and what was the challenge at the time? The referee blew Reaves for a three-point foul on Murray, and they didn't think there was a foul, so the challenge was successful.
But at this time, it shows that the Lakers were deducted a timeout, and the scene showed that there were only 5 Lakers timeouts left, and it stands to reason that the Lakers challenged successfully at that time, and the number of timeouts will not be deducted, so counting the next Lakers called a timeout, there should be 6 timeouts left, why are there 5 left? This is what people don't understand at all, this is another controversial blow penalty in the first half.
There was also a major controversy blow when James singled Murray with his back towards the end of the first half. It was clear that James was relieved, and Murray went straight to the basket to complete a layup, but this round he was obviously beaten when he was interfered with by Jokic, and even the referee didn't blow a foul for the ball.
The three major controversial whistles in the first half were very unfavorable to James and the Lakers, and James was not blown by a major beater and was deducted from the timeout. So although you look at the comparison of free throws in the third quarter, the Lakers made 18 free throws, the Nuggets only made 7 free throws, the Lakers had 9 fouls, and the Nuggets also had 12 fouls, but in fact, the referee's decision was still very unfavorable for James and the Lakers. Therefore, Zhan Huang was very dissatisfied and sat on the ground to protest against the referee.
This action can show that now it seems that the alliance still wants to let these old people take the initiative to quit, say goodbye collectively, and want to forcibly usher in a new generation and usher in the era of young people. But Zhan Huang refused to be swept out, he himself scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in 4 of 8, and the thick eyebrows also had 16 points and 9 rebounds, the good news is that Jokic only had 8 points, although Murray had 16 points, but 6 of 15 was also very inefficient, but in the third quarter, with the sudden injury of Brother Thick Mei, the Lakers suffered a big turnaround, and they were already 79-81 behind, plus the referee was not in their favor, James who scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter was too difficult.
