Beijing time on March 3, the most sensational news in the NBA today is undoubtedly that James scored 40,000 points. In the second quarter of the game against the Nuggets, James turned with the ball and broke through to the basket for a layup. He He completed the 40,000 mark in his career and became the only player in history to achieve 40,000 + 10,000 + 10,000. However, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets in this game. They gave their opponent 114-124. 6 consecutive wins.
In this game, the Lakers still suppressed the Nuggets in the early stage. They relied on excellent counterattacks and multiple blooms. The team once led their opponents by double digits, but in the third quarter, Kitchen began to exert his strength. The 13 points scored in a single quarter helped the team return to the same starting line after three quarters. In the last 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets relied on the stable killing ability of Murray and Jokic to defeat the Lakers. I believe everyone has seen this scene like
. This is basically the case every time the Lakers face the Nuggets. They can still struggle with their opponents in the early stage, but in the end, their opponents can rely on their stars to solve it. There is no way , Hachimura's defense tried his best. He entangled Jokic on the outside, but the pick-and-roll between Jokic and Murray allowed Jokic to call Reeves. If the thick eyebrows flanked him, Gordon would be open. If he did not flank, , Jokic just eats everything on his own, and the Lakers have nothing to do.
Therefore, Jokic also performed very well. He made 16 of 25 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block. Murray also performed well, with 23 points in the game. He made 11 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists. Yomo's pick-and-roll is still one of the most difficult weapons to crack in the league. Both of them have good offensive ability and ball handling ability. This also gives teammates more opportunities.
In this campaign, Porter Jr. made 10 of 10 shots from the field, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. He is also the only player in history to make 10 of 10 shots from the field. , a player who made all 5 three-pointers at the same time. The alley-oops between Jokic and Gordon are almost the key to killing the game, and this is also the problem we just pointed out. Gordon scored too many points by relying on the basket. He made 8 of 16 shots in this campaign. He scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
On the offensive end, he was restricted when facing Jokic with thick eyebrows. It was okay for him to play a small center with thick eyebrows, but he was helpless against Jokic, who was squatting in a big position. In addition, the opponent intended to let the Lakers' role players attack. The thick eyebrow did not get too much ball rights. He only made 7 of 13 shots and scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. In this campaign, James made 12 of 20 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 26 points and 4 rebounds. 9 assists data.
The data alone is indeed good, but the reality is that James did not score a point at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. He scored more after Jokic came off the court. James is now facing a team with a tall center. He was struggling. He was not afraid of the Clippers and Celtics, but he was afraid of the Timberwolves and Nuggets. The Lakers' role players performed well in this campaign. Russell scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Reeves scored 19 points and 14 assists, and Hachimura scored 23 points.
Although the mileage is sad, he is the only player in history to score 40,000 points. James also got the game ball after the game, and after the game, Brother Big Eyebrow accepted an interview and talked about James' 40,000 points. He joked: " I told James after the game that he must stop breaking records, because every time he breaks a record, the team will lose." Afterwards, he was asked who has a chance to complete the next 40,000 points. Thick Eyebrows said it might be Library. inside.
Lao Zhan also talked about his 40,000-point record after the game. He said: "I am very grateful to be able to score 40,000 points. I have always appreciated being able to do something unprecedented, but reaching the milestone in a loss is a bit bittersweet. "For me, the most important thing is to win, so I hate losing at milestones." Facing a level opponent, it is understandable that the Lakers lost. Afterwards, James was asked about the reason for the loss.
He said: "I can only think of one way to perform better when we face this team again. The Nuggets figured us out and we have no way to limit Jokic." After that, Lao Zhan also Talking about the list of players that cannot be restricted in his mind, they are: "Jokic, Doncic, Durant, Curry and Embiid", they are all top stars in the league!
After the game, coach Ham also talked about the issue of losing. He said: "We made some untimely mistakes. I hope we can learn lessons and become better. In addition, the team's defensive rebounds need to be improved. In this game we The number of rebounds was 31-47. Only by protecting defensive rebounds can we win some key games." Hamm's words were directed at the thick eyebrows. After all, the team's rebound protection still depends on the center, but in this game The thick eyebrows were blown away by Jokic.
