Yesterday, many fans on the Internet predicted that the game between the Lakers and the Spurs would be a one-sided victory, as if the old man's team was a piece of cake. As a result, many people were dumbfounded by the final game. The Spurs beat the Lakers almost all the way, and the Lakers at home had no chance at all.
Why is this happening? Personal analysis has several reasons. Discuss it with your friends and see if it makes sense.
First, it's not that the Lakers are too bad, but that their opponents are three-point perverts.
Fans who have been watching the Lakers know that the Lakers have been playing healthy basketball to take care of James, 37. The Lakers' healthy basketball can be summarized as follows:
However, the situation of this game is different from the previous games. In the last game, the Spurs lost their confidence in the Clippers and suddenly became the peak warriors. They always hit 65,438+06 three-pointers, and they always beat the Lakers.
James made a rare effort in advance in the third quarter of this game, otherwise the game would have ended long ago, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.
Second, the Lakers' backcourt configuration is not good.
Speaking of which, I want to mention the Lakers' backcourt configuration. In recent games, the team has been playing healthy basketball mode, so James still has physical strength in the fourth quarter, which can start the killing mode.
But he is a 37-year-old veteran after all. In today's bayonet competition, a qualified backcourt player must cover for James and let him catch his breath. Rondo really played a role when he won the championship last year.
But at present, the Lakers do not have such a reassuring person. Schroeder and harel can score well, organization is not a strong point, neither of them can!
Interestingly, the Lakers have held preliminary negotiations with the Spurs today, and are prepared to exchange 1 for Kuzma+Schroeder+Tucker 3, so as to get the star of the Spurs, Demar demar derozan.
Personally, I feel that this is really a good idea and deserves serious consideration by the Lakers. It is obvious that Schroeder cannot be reused. Now I think it is really wrong to let Rondo go!
Third, James is old.
This is a heartbreaking topic for James fans. Although many people talk about this issue every year, and have been talking about it for many years, they are all hit by James' performance, but this year is fundamentally different from previous years. He is about to reach the point where quantitative change is qualitative change.
This game is particularly obvious. James seems to hit 0 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter, always hitting the front box. It's really worrying!
All this is because he played too hard in the third quarter and the fourth solar term was short.
Anyone who has played on the court knows what it's like. Finally, he couldn't get up while the iron was hot, and he was really tired.
