On October 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a game that just ended, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 113-101, sweeping away the haze of the previous loss to the Thunder. James, the absolute core of the Lakers, ushered in a comeback in this game, and his comeback is also a huge improvement for the overall strength of the Lakers, so when facing the Cavaliers who are not very strong in the East, the Lakers still play well at key moments. Although they didn't pull away in the first three quarters, the Lakers let us see the team we were very familiar with in the crucial fourth quarter.
In this game, the Lakers' big three giants James, thick eyebrow brother and Westbrook all played an efficient performance, the three of them combined to score 60 points in this game, the offensive firepower is very strong, although this game James has a poor feel outside the three-point line, only 1 of 10 shots, but we can still see that the Lakers' big three on the field has a significant improvement, which is a good news for the Lakers. In addition to the excellent state of the Big Three, we also found another role player in this game who still played a very good performance, he is Avery Bradley, who was signed by the Lakers with a basic salary.
Bradley played 23 minutes in this game, shooting 3 of 5, 1 of 1 three-pointer and 7 points and 3 rebounds, no mistakes, but lost 3 fouls, and the performance was still outstanding. In fact, from the data point of view, you may not see how good Bradley's role is, after all, he does not score much, and there is no defensive data into the account, so if you look at the data alone, you may not think how good Bradley's defense is, but from the course of the game we can find that Bradley's role is still very large.
Although Bradley only scored 7 points in this game, his points were actually quite critical, 2 points in the second quarter boosted morale, 2 points in the third quarter helped the team stabilize the situation, and the three-pointer in the fourth quarter set the team the winning game. At the same time, his defense in the game is also very important for the Lakers, and bradley made a very good defensive performance against the Cavaliers' two potential small guards, and sexton only scored 9 points in this game. Bradley has scored 20 points and 4 rebounds in the last two games, performing well, of course, his biggest role is still on the defensive end, after not getting any playing time at the beginning of the season, we can see that recently Vogel finally began to reuse Bradley, and I hope that the Lakers coaching staff can use him more in the later stage, he really has the potential to become a playoff wonder.
