On October 28, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers challenged the Oklahoma Thunder away. With the Lakers leading by a big score, they were frantically counterattacked by the Thunder in the second half, and finally the Thunder reversed the Lakers 123-115.
For the Thunder, Alexander had 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Buzzley had 20 points and six rebounds, Josh Giedy had 18 points and 10 assists and Dort had 15 points and six rebounds. For the Lakers, "Thick Brow" Anthony Davis had 30 points and eight rebounds; Anthony had 13 points and three rebounds, Bradley had 13 points, and Bazemore had 11 points and four assists.
Russell Westbrook returned to the Thunder, and Oklahoma fans gave Westbrook a warm welcome. In the whole game, Wei Shao returned to his Thunder self, shooting 8 of 20 from the field and 2 of 8 from three-point range, with 20 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 turnovers. This kind of "four doubles" that fills the data column is also Wei Shao.
In the first half, Wei Shao's performance was remarkable, and in the second half of the game, his efficiency declined, and the Lakers were reversed by the Thunder. The Lakers led the Thunder by as many as 26 points in the game. The Lakers should firmly control the game in their own hands, but the Lakers just failed to seize the opportunity.
According to statistics, in the past 25 seasons, the Lakers have led by at least 25 points in 230 games, with a record of 230 wins and 0 losses. Speaking about being reversed by 26 points after the game, Lakers coach Vogel said: "You can't let your guard down against any opponent. ”
Although Wei Shao won his first triple-double with the Lakers in this game, he also made 10 mistakes, which is the sixth time in his career that he has had a triple-double +10 mistake, except for Wei Shao, only Harden (3 times) has done this many times in history. Lakers coach Vogel was asked about Westbrook's mistake after the game: "I have to go back and watch the video. ”
Overall, Vogel was positive about Westbrook's performance: "This guy is fighting too hard, and the 10 assists in the half is impressive. ”
5.7 seconds before the finale, Anthony made a steal, and an open three-pointer at the top of the arc could have tied the score, but he threw a three-point shot that was a big surprise. The Lakers also lost their best chance as a result. After the game, talking about the three non-sticks, Anthony said that he "did not fully control the ball, the footsteps were not right, but he saw the shooting space, so he shot." ”
In the final decisive moment, the Lakers' three offensive choices were quite sloppy. First, Wei Shao directly pulled out a three-pointer and did not score. Later, after the timeout, it was Munch who singled and then directly threw a three-not-stick. Is this the tactic Vogel laid out during the timeout? Although Anthony's final three-point shot is also a three-pointer, it is an opportunity to fight for it, and Anthony's camera can also understand the shooting.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Vogel fielded thick eyebrows, Anthony, Westbrook, Munch, and Bazemore. On the defensive end, this lineup failed to prevent the Thunder attack, and Anthony stood in the fourth position and could not defend at all. On the offensive end, Anthony failed to shoot a few three-pointers, and he would be countered by the Thunder. Behind, instead of lining up a purely offensive lineup, Vogel is not as good as Howard to strengthen the defense and protect the rebounds. After the defense is successful, give the ball to the thick eyebrows and play steadily.
Or the saying: Can you give me Vogel?
