Not easy, after 2 consecutive losses, the Lakers home ushered in the Challenge of the Hornets, this game is also played very tragically, the first half of the two teams did not divide the winner and loser, the 3rd quarter Rondo with a single quarter of 6 assists performance, coupled with the thick eyebrow brother and Anthony's excellent play, helped the team to establish a 7-point advantage, the last 4 minutes of the game The Lakers also led by 9 points, but they ate technical fouls continuously, resulting in three-goal free throws scored 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap.
At the critical moment, the Lakers failed to attack consecutively, the Hornets seized the opportunity to narrow the point gap, Reeves 3 fouls, Bridges chased the 3 points to tie the score, but unfortunately the thick eyebrow brother's 3 points did not hit, the Hornets did not kill in the last 1.3 seconds. In overtime, the Hornets scored consecutive points to open the gap of 4 points, the key moment of the thick eyebrow brother threw the hit, Anthony's desperate 3 points helped the team to reverse the score, and finally with the Hornets' last moment of 3 points missed, the Lakers after overtime to 126-123 narrowly won the opponent, got a difficult victory, their winning rate is also more than 50%, temporarily rose to the 8th position in the West.
In this game, the thick eyebrow brother is also fighting with illness, his performance on the inside line is also very strong, although he only scored 2 points in the first quarter, but he is still 13 of 25, slashing 32 + 12 + 4 + 3 + 5 full performance, after the game he bluntly said that he threw up at the end of the third quarter, but for this game, the thick eyebrow brother is still full of confidence, he said: "They (Hornets) have lost four consecutive games, so they need a victory, but we need a victory. We didn't lose this game. Vogel also praised the performance of the thick-browed brother, saying: "His thumb is still a lot of problems at the moment, and he is also a little sick. But he overcame these to keep playing. Without his strong will, we wouldn't have been able to win tonight. ”
As for Anthony's 7 3-pointers off the bench and 29 points, Vogel also played for him, talking about the fact that Anthony almost didn't have the ball a few years ago: "To be honest, I never understood this. Wei Shao also did not skimp on his praise for Guago's performance, saying: "He is a Hall of Fame player, he knows his value (more than the contract). We also know his worth, and we know how to work with him. He knows how to score on the pitch and all we have to do is find him. ”
Speaking of his almost no-ball situation a few years ago, Guago said: "To this day, I still think about why this happened every day. I never doubted myself. "This game Rondo also played an excellent play, although he was expelled early, but he did not leave the locker room, but chose to practice, today the Lakers these old guys, are giving full play to their energy, there are more difficult schedules waiting for them, this momentum depends on whether they can continue!
