On October 30, the Lakers played against the Cavaliers.
James' comeback, just against his old club, is also the anniversary of his debut, but at home he is biased towards playing rather than career. For the Lakers, after they lost to the strategically broken Thunder in their last game with a 26-point lead and a big reversal, the trend of being judged to have a friendly schedule for more than a month began to produce other conclusions. What's more, although the Cavaliers lack offensive talent, they have a clear defensive advantage, and the momentum is very strong in the past three consecutive games to beat the Hawks, Nuggets and Clippers at least the Western Half final playoff teams.
Despite James' comeback, the Lakers still haven't gotten better, and even basically made most of their mistakes. Offenses are questioned by mistakes, shots, and coordination, etc.; defensive issues are tactical literacy, focus, and tacit understanding. These are not only the advantages that must be strengthened to the extreme in the fight for the championship, but also the basis for playing a good game.
Mistakes are the deadliest mistakes because it means there is no chemistry in the team. The Lakers fell into such passivity at the beginning, whether it is a veteran like Anthony or a super giant like Davis, it is as inevitable as being put under a spell. The Lakers' attempt to resolve their mistakes requires a lot of effort and collective sacrifice in the macro time frame, but there is one shortcut to buffer, and it's simple: give the ball to James.
The Lakers were in a dilemma of falling behind the Cavaliers by double digits, and finally even Westbrook finally decided to go through the process and handed the ball all over to James. James's ankles do match the intensity of the regular season, fast attack plus dunks and chasing caps, and three basketball rounds that rely specifically on athletic talent and health prerequisites have been activated. James' only game against the Cavaliers last season gave Sexton a chasing cap, and this time it was no exception. It seems that Sexton, if he is strong enough, can also join Rondo, Rose, Curry, Westbrook and Iguodala, who can be chased by James alone for a few minutes of the big list.
The third quarter is a difficult problem for the Lakers this season, and there are several statistics that are the league's bottom or even the bottom of the list, including those games that James has also played. This means that these problems are bound to the whole and are not solved independently by super giants like James or Davis. Again, to solve these problems, you need to bind the whole. James, Davis and Westbrook are all basket players, and they are matched by three-pointers. Anthony is the Lakers player with the most consistent three-point shooting outside of James (the most accurate today), and Rivers does play the role of Caruso's successor who has touched all missions except for the title of "first man in history". As a result, the Lakers are in a wave, and what is valuable is that there is no need to use James and use Westbrook at the same time.
The Lakers also had a feat of falling behind against the Suns, but the problem of low continuity was reflected in this game. James' inaccurate three-pointers in this game also allowed him to weaken the reasons for the outside defensive containment, scoring range and tactical number. But James is the least adept at configuration and system in history, and the most versatile player in history, so he has any way to produce game impact. After the lineup on the field had outside containment and the core of the attack and defense in the penalty area (Davis), James matched the trend zone Lakers to play another wave of flow. This time there was no Westbrook, there was James.
In the end, James successfully broke through consecutive breakthroughs in the closing stage, helping the Lakers lock in a win and win the Cavaliers. Davis's data is average, but it is expensive in stability, offensive and defensive, and is one of the core of tactics. Westbrook plays reasonably, which is the Westbrook that the Lakers need most.
