106-108! There is no miracle, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets away, and the big score is 1-4, missing the next round. In this game, the Lakers can't say that they don't do their best, they really do their best, Davis plays the game with a shoulder injury, James hits the basket again and again, and continues to play with his feet, but unfortunately he still can't beat it, the opponent is too strong, Jokic's Wendy, and Murray completed the stunner again, which made the Lakers very desperate.
Take a look at the Lakers' player ratings after the game, and it's clear who is the culprit of the loss. First of all, James, played 44 points, 11 of 21 shots, 30 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists of quasi-triple-double data, plus/minus +3, rating 7.8 points! James did not congratulate the Nuggets after the game, there were no black spots elsewhere, he was really desperate, after Davis was injured, he carried the team, hit the basket again and again, as well as his three-point shot, his passing, to help the team continue to live, but he is really old, and his ability at critical moments has declined too much, unfortunately, this era no longer belongs to Lao Zhan.
Davis, 41 minutes, 8-of-11, 17 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 hats, plus/minus -4, rating 9.3, team-high. Bush is the most consistent player in this series, he's no longer Jokic's toy, he doesn't fall into the net, and if his teammates push a little harder, the team can at least win one game. Before he was injured in this game, Davis's performance was not black, very efficient, offensive and defensive online, but after the injury, there was really no way, especially on the offensive end, he shot once, but the defensive end was still powerful. If they hadn't been injured, the Lakers would still have a chance.
Reeves, 34 minutes, 6 of 11 got 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 hats and 3 steals, with a rating of 7.5 points! Reeves is everywhere in this game, his counterattack is fast-breaking, breakthrough killing, and his defense of Murray, are all good, but unfortunately the critical moment is still almost, not calm enough, should give the ball to James to deal with, should not force the shot, too anxious.
Russell scored 14 points and 6 assists in 6 of 15 minutes in 40 minutes, with a rating of 5.8 points! But without Russell, the Lakers can't win a game, he's a barometer, and the three-point shot is too crucial.
Hachimura, 34 minutes, scored 15 points and 5 rebounds in 6 of 15, with a rating of 5.1 points! The second half was better, but the overall game was still failing.
Dinwiddie, 14 minutes, 2 of 4 got 6 points and 3 assists, with a score of 5.1 points! The most impressive thing is that the two free throws missed, which is extremely outrageous, but the offensive and defensive ends are okay, in the case of a very low tactical position, to be able to have such data, yes, hard work is okay, but the physical disadvantage, there is really no way.
Prince played 19 minutes, scored 4 points and 1 rebound on 0-of-5 shooting, and scored 5.1 points!
Vincent 8 minutes, 2 of 0 no points, rating 4.0 points!
Hayes played 7 minutes, 1 point and 5 boards, with a rating of 4.7 points! Jokic's toys can't eat cakes, can't dunk, have no offensive threat, and the defense is also given for nothing, can't help Davis a little, and is not as good as the elderly Howard.
Summary: Except for James, Davis and Reaves, everyone else didn't play well, that is, the role players didn't do it well, and it didn't help Zhan Mei share the pressure. As long as the role players take advantage of the open opportunities and make free throws steadily, the Lakers have a good chance. So next season, the Lakers will continue to rebuild around Zhan Mei, they still have oil, but they are almost off the bench.
