Anthony and James
Before you start, ask a question: Are the Lakers' three-pointer accurate? Perhaps many people will think that the Lakers have no chance with the three-pointer, even in the championship season, the Lakers' outside projection is also a big problem. The Lakers' performance in the preseason and regular season exposed the problem of the team's inability to pull space, how can a team that can't pull space shoot a high-percentage three-pointer? But the fact is so embarrassing, the Lakers after beating the Grizzlies, with a 43.4% three-point shooting rate topped the league. Even though James shot 1-of-10 three-pointers in the game against the Cavaliers, the team still ranked fourth in the league with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.9 percent. The Golden State Warriors currently rank 7th in the league with a 37.4 percent three-point shooting percentage, and the Rockets, who have been playing hard in the game, are also ranked 8th in the league with a 36 percent three-point shooting percentage. Therefore, if you don't look at the data, you often draw some wrong conclusions based on impressions alone, which shows the importance of the data.
Anthony shot three points
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > what is the Lakers' three-point shooting rate? </h1>
The Lakers' three-point shots and hits in the last six games are:
The Warriors shot 15-of-42 from the field, shooting 35.7 percent, James 5-of-11 and Anthony 2-of-4;
Hit the Suns on 15-of-34 shooting, shooting 44.1 percent, James 5-of-9 and Anthony 4-of-6;
Playing the Grizzlies on 16-of-30 shooting, shooting 53.3 percent, James 4-of-9 and Anthony 6-of-8;
Playing Spurs 8-of-30 shooting, shooting 26.7%, James is out, Anthony is 0-of-4 and Munch is 4-of-10;
Playing the Thunder 11-of-35 shooting, shooting 31.4%, James is out, Westbrook is 2-of-8, Anthony is 1-of-8, Bazemore is 3-of-5, Munch is 1 of 5, and Bradley is 4-of-3;
The Cavaliers shot 12-of-27 from the field, shooting 44.4 percent, James 10-of-10 and Anthony 6-of-8.
James dunked
Judging from the game situation, the Lakers played the Thunder and the Spurs had a low three-point shooting rate, and James was all absent in these two games. Facing the Cavaliers, although James shot 1 in 10, only 10% of the three-point shooting rate, but the team won the second highest three-point shooting rate of the season of 44.4%, which is enough to show that the Lakers' high three-point shooting rate has a certain relationship with James.
Anthony
In addition, Anthony is in hot form, but Anthony's three-point shooting rate is positively correlated with James, when James plays, Anthony's three-point shooting rate is all more than 50%, and when James is out, Anthony only has 4-of-0 and 8-of-1 performance, respectively. At the same time, when James was absent, the other players of the Lakers shared James's shots outside the three-point line, And Bazemore, Munch and Bradley played the Thunder to shoot a total of 7 of 14 three-pointers, basically sharing James's task from the point of view of the three-point line, but the effect was not good strategically, which also reflected that Westbrook is not the best organizer of the Lakers at present. It is worth mentioning that Rondo does not seem to help the Lakers improve their three-point shooting rate, and only when James is on the court, the team's three-point shooting rate is improved. James' contribution to the team's three-point shooting is partly in his own shooting percentage and on the other hand in his ability to organize and respond. When James is able to improve his three-point shooting percentage, he can attract more defense while creating more opportunities for Anthony to shoot easily. While teammates can fill the void caused by James' absence on three-pointers, James still has irreplaceable attributes from a strategic point of view.
James conducted
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > 1 in 10 james is a state problem? </h1>
Whether James' two consecutive absences affected the feel, after all, after the absence, the old Zhan shot an embarrassing 10% shooting rate outside the three-point line. But I think James' low shooting percentage in this game is not unrelated to the defense of the opposing Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are somewhat similar to the Lakers' lineups, in that they have tall interior lines and are equipped to line up a large, four-small or mobile lineup. Therefore, the Lakers' game with the Cavaliers makes the interior line seem very crowded. On the Lakers, Jordan Jr. and Davis started, and the Cavaliers were paired by Allen and Mobley on the inside, and there were 4 big men on the court at once. At the same time, the Lakers and Knights can't pull away from space. Although Markkanen and Mobley both have three-pointer attributes, their three-point shooting percentages cannot be a threat. On the Lakers, neither Davis nor Jordan Jr. can provide too many threats from outside the three-point line. At the same time, the Lakers' guard Westbrook's poor projection, mainly based on breakthroughs, this look is a "hand-to-hand battle".
James shoots
LeBron James is one of the Lakers' three-point guarantees this season. In addition to James, the Lakers' most accurate player on the outside is Cameron Anthony. However, these single-point threes do not pose enough of a threat. In the objective situation that their own outside line cannot open the situation and the Cavaliers are heavily guarding the inner line, the Lakers' choice is somewhat embarrassing. On the one hand, if their outside line can hit a shot, then the Cavaliers have to expand their defensive area. On the other hand, the Lakers' breakthrough is limited, if the three points can not open the situation, the breakthrough will fall into a dead end, which forms a vicious circle. At the same time, the knight's interior line is highly mobile. Even if Mobli pounced on the outside, Allen could still keep the inside. This means that the Cavaliers' "three-high lineup" will not cause a vacuum in the interior line due to the problem of movement speed.
Allen and Mobley defend
As a result, James' three-point shooting environment is much more difficult than previous games. At the same time, it can also be seen from James's offensive choices. He made a total of 22 shots in this game, 12 of which were jump shots, 8 layups and 2 dunks. Even on the layup there were 2 misses and no fouls. Although James also shot 9 of 12 from the field, 6 of them came from layups, 2 from dunks, and only 1 jump shot. So, I think it's not that there's a problem with James' form, but because the Cavaliers' defense makes James's breakthrough threat much less, which also allows James's opposing defender to focus on defending his shots without worrying about The Old Jane's breakthrough, after all, there is a tall Allen on the inside.
Wei Shao with thick eyebrows
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > How did the Lakers win this game? </h1>
So, how exactly did the Lakers win this game? I think the Lakers ultimately rely on "defensive counterattacks" to win, which is the old way they won the championship season. The Cavaliers scored 101 points in the game, which is a low score in today's league. The Lakers mainly relied on the opponent's mistakes to form a fast attack, which mainly occurred in the third and fourth quarters. It can be said that the Lakers took the game away with a wave of streams. While they made 20 turnovers in this game and the Cavaliers only 15, 10 of the Lakers' 20 turnovers appeared in the first quarter. The Lakers only made a total of 10 mistakes in the last three quarters. In addition, Lakers key man Anthony blasted down 24 points, 0 points in the first quarter, 6 points in the second quarter, and 9 points in the third and fourth quarters. Anthony's all-of-eight three-pointers, none of the first half hits, 3 of 3 in the third quarter, 3 of 4 in the fourth quarter, 6-of-7 in the second half, and 18 of 24 points, which became a turning point in the game.
James passes the ball
The Cavaliers' loss also continues their two laws, one is that the team that scores more than 100 points cannot win the ball, and the other is that the rebound cannot win the ball. In this game, the Lakers scored 113 points and won 6 rebounds 42:36. Therefore, this game can be said that the Cavaliers have a chance to win, but the team did not seize the Lakers' 10 mistakes in the first quarter to open the score, but let the Lakers seize the mistakes in the third quarter to play the advantage, a wave of away the game.
James and Westbrook
Meanwhile, Westbrook performed well in the game, shooting 8-of-13 from the field, scoring 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers. However, Wei Shao's four mistakes were 3 in the first quarter and 1 in the fourth quarter. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers are still adapting to the Cavaliers' lineup, and the overall situation in the fourth quarter has been set to be harmless. At the same time, Wei Shao delivered a total of 5 assists and 0 turnovers in the second and third quarters! Many of Wei Shao's options in the game are also better than in the past. In the case of poor shooting, Westbrook shot 1 three-pointer and hit a shot. Meanwhile, eight of his 13 shots came from layups or dunks, and he shot 3-of-5 from the jumper and hit 60 percent of the range. In one attack, Wei Shao swung a false shot outside the three-point line and smashed Huang Long to complete the earth-shattering split. Of course, perhaps an experienced defender will never be swayed by Wei Shao outside the three-point line, but this shows that Wei Shao has made great progress at present, he has also played his advantage in the basket, and at the same time, he has more use of rebounds to rebound in the mid-range jump shot, and finally let fans see a "brainy Wei Shao" late in his career. I think the change in Westbrook came from the guidance of many veterans of the team, and also from the leadership of James. Otherwise, why is Westbrook a cancer around Durant and Harden, but something different around James? Orange born in Huainan is orange born in Huaibei is orange, perhaps we should think more about why some people can change Wei Shao.
