On November 5, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended at noon today, the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home and lost to the Thunder again 104-107, ending their three-game winning streak.
In this game, James was absent due to injury, davis quickly entered the state at the beginning, and in the first quarter of the game, he had 7 of 8 shots, bombed 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, and the performance was almost perfect. However, in the lakers' final attack before the end of the half, Davis accidentally broke his finger while competing with Alexander for offensive rebounds. Perhaps because of the impact of this injury, the performance of the second half of the thick eyebrow was much worse than before, and finally he shot 11 of 20 shots in the whole game, cut down 29 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, but the plus-minus value was -14, ranking first in the bottom of the team.
As the team's fourth-largest, Cameron Anthony stepped forward again today, especially in the final quarter, when he nearly staged a single-rider savior scene with two consecutive three-pointers. To be honest, if the Lakers give the ball to Anthony on the last attack, maybe he can really help the team drag the game into overtime, but unfortunately he did not have a chance to touch the ball in the last attack. According to statistics, Anthony played 31 minutes in this game, and finally shot 8 of 18, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and cut 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
The most controversial of this game is Also Wei Shao, in the absence of James, the ball is almost in his hands. From the data point of view, Wei Shao played quite well today, he shot 10 of 23, 3 of 6 from three-point range, cut 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and the plus-minus value was as high as +6, ranking second on the team, but even so, he was still scolded by fans after the game. [After the game, russ (Westbrook) and Westbrick (Tiewei) these two topics rushed to the Twitter NBA list hot search]
There are three reasons for this: first, Westbrook made a fatal mistake in a key fast attack in the last 21 seconds, knowing that this was the Lakers' last chance to reverse the score, but did not expect to finally give the ball to the opponent in vain; second, after This mistake, Westbrook gave the Thunder a chance to serve the sideline ball, and as a result, Westbrook missed Dort at this time, who directly and easily dunked after receiving Alexander's pass; third, with Anthony's two three-pointers, The Lakers were still just three points behind in the final moments. Due to the lack of suspension, Wei Shao directly kicked off the ball through the half, just when everyone thought he would give the ball to Anthony, who felt hot, he suddenly chose to pull out his hand, and the result was that the ball bounced out of the box and the game time was completely exhausted.
For wei shao's performance in this game, the famous domestic commentator Yang Yi gave a different view, he believes that Wei Shao's play today is already excellent enough, although he is responsible for the Lakers' defeat, but the biggest pot should definitely not let him back. Yang Yi said: "Is this game because of Wei Shao's mistake and the three-point loss? The thick eyebrows were almost exhausted, who knew that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he did not even go to Master Huo, and let him continue to fight, could not see that he was already gasping for breath? ”
Yang Yi continued: "There is also the round that won Guago in the fourth quarter but did not go to Wei Shao, the lineup of Rondo, Rivers, Bradley, Munch and Davis, who can stand this lineup? Although Yang Yi did not name names, everyone could tell that he had pointed the finger at Lakers' head coach Vogel, and this is not the first time he has done so. In the past few games, as long as Yang Yi has come out to comment, then no matter whether the Lakers lose or win, he can always point out some fatal mistakes of Vogel.
So the question is, who do you think is the culprit of the Lakers' defeat? Is it Westbrook or Vogel, or someone else?
