So the two teams were inextricably linked at the beginning of the game, but the Lakers kept the lead most of the time. However, in the second quarter, the eagle quickly overtook the score with the performance of flowering inside and outside, and then the two teams entered a tug-of-war, and the score gap has not been big. Yi Bian fought again, and the Hawks turned the situation around again with Treyan's foul-making ability, but at the crucial moment in the last quarter, Lao Zhan took the initiative to take over the game and took away the victory with personal attacks.
In the end, the Lakers beat the Hawks by 107-99 and won two consecutive victories, ending their opponents' hopes of winning in a row. Although the Lakers still ranked third in the West after winning, losing to the Jazz and Clippers, considering that the Lakers finally ended their seven-day trip, it was perfect to end it with victory. The recent fluctuation of the Lakers' state and record is actually related to the long seven-day trip, during which the Lakers' physical fitness has been greatly challenged. Fortunately, the Lakers finally ended their away trip with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, filling the two shortcomings of the team's final battle.
The first is the state of the core thick eyebrows. As the core figure and key point of the Lakers' championship last season, Brother Thick Eyebrows' performance has been worrying so far this season. Both the efficiency of the offensive end and the toughness of the defensive end have been questioned by the outside world. In the final analysis, it is the improvement of the hard power of the Lakers lineup, which makes Brother Thick Eyebrows start to follow the example of Lao Zhan at the beginning of the season and save more physical strength for the playoffs. Brother Thick Eyebrows obviously didn't learn the essence, which made him unable to adjust the situation in time in key games and stand up to solve problems, and naturally became one of the shortcomings of the Lakers.
Therefore, in the case that the team fell into an unfavorable situation in the late period of 7 consecutive visitors, Brother Thick Eyebrows also began to adjust his status in time in this game. After playing for 36 minutes, 14 shot, effectively handing over 25 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists 1 stealing 3 blocks. Brother Thick Eyebrows scored mostly through individual singles, including many extremely difficult individual attacks. Although Brother Thick Eyebrows still needs to be improved in defensive state and rebounding control, it can be seen that he is recovering his offensive feel.
The second shortcoming is the poor free throw performance of the Lakers, and the game has also rebounded. As a championship team, the Lakers' free throw percentage ranks only 2 1. However, in this game, not only did Zhan Mei's two core free throws improve, the former made 9 free throws 1 1 and the latter made 5 of 6 free throws, but the team's free throw percentage also improved significantly, reaching 83.3%. This will help the Lakers ensure the stability of their record.
In addition, the state of the Lakers needs to be improved. In the last quarter, the eagle once narrowed the difference to one point. Fortunately, James stepped forward in the last quarter, and in the case of poor state in the first three quarters. James swept the last nine points of the Lakers and took away the game directly. He played for 38 minutes and made 5 of 12 shots, handing over 2 1 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals 1 blocks. With this performance, James has played 22 games in a row since the beginning of the season, handing over the data of at least 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, successfully tying his own NBA historical record (20 1 1- 12 season) and winning the top two in this data.
