On October 30, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 113-101, this game between the two sides fought until the last quarter, the key fourth quarter, Lakers star LeBron James firmly controlled the rhythm of the game with his strong control ability, and his good brother Carmelo Anthony, with three three-point single quarter blasts 9 points and 4 rebounds to kill the game, once again became the key to the team.
There is no doubt that today's Anthony is becoming the Lakers' bench thigh, many times in the game to play excellent performance to help the team win, following the last game against the Grizzlies single game bombed 28 points, this game Anthony once again exerted force, the whole game played 23 minutes, 12 shots 9, three-pointers 8 shots 6 of 24 points and 5 rebounds, the second single game of the season scored more than 20+, really some old men talk about the taste of juvenile madness.
Speaking about Anthony's shooting ability, James bluntly said: "A threat. He's a sniper, and we refer to this type of guy in the league as someone who doesn't need much room to shoot because he pulls the trigger so fast. When you have an honest defense like Melon that keeps your opponents on the three-point line, that creates too much space for myself, Russ and AD (Anthony Davis) to perform our blocking magic. ”
What is even more gratifying is that this season's melon has completed the evolution again, when Anthony signed the Lakers in the offseason, many people were worried that Anthony's ball-holding style of play was difficult to be compatible with James and Wei Shao, but now it is found that melon has completely transformed into a high-quality catch-and-shoot shooter, so far this season, his cooperation with James and Wei Shao is the most comfortable, James and Wei Shao like to find Anthony in the empty position, after an accurate pass is after the melon shot, The beautiful sound of basketball falling into the net.
Lakers coach Vogel said Anthony was an important part of the team's win in this game and praised Anthony's progress in receiving shots in recent years, Vogel said happily: "He really transformed into an elite-level catch jumper. "There's no doubt that Anthony is becoming James and Westbrook's favorite kind of shooter, and because of that, anthony can now get a lot of passes from James and Westbrook in every game, just like this game, James and Westbrook keep assisting Anthony to score, which is like feeding him to the point.
This side of Anthony is like a fish in the water around James and Westbrook, and the other side of Love is a little uncomfortable. In this game, Love played very badly, playing 16 minutes off the bench, only 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 7 shots, frequent iron on the offensive end, and the defensive end became a black hole, without the style of the Third Big Man of the Cavaliers.
Last season and offseason, the news about Lefu may buy out to join the Lakers is full of news, although Lefu himself did not make a clear statement, but now seeing Anthony in the Lakers mixed up, Lefu's heart even if there is some envy and regret is not impossible. In fact, now Anthony's role in the Lakers is also very suitable for Lefour, when paired with James, Lefu has always played the role of an outside heavy artillery, but now without James's quality passing, Lefu is difficult to be as comfortable as Anthony.
It is worth mentioning that after the game, James and Lefu hugged each other tightly, and now look at Anthony can play with his two good friends James and Wei Shao, and have the opportunity to impact the championship, will the Cavaliers only struggle with Lefu, will there be any heartbeat, with the idea of buying out to join the Lakers?
