On December 24, Beijing time, on the eve of the renaming of the Staples Center, the Lakers' home stadium, the Lakers ended their Staples journey with a big defeat.
110-138 points, the Lakers lost 28 points, losing has become a common thing for the Lakers, the Lakers are so helpless in the face of the Spurs' attack, and James's crazy output is unfortunately so pale and weak. Who can the Lakers win now has become the main theme of the Lakers, although as many as 7 people have not played, but the Lakers' defense is simply a mess.
The old Lakers players can still score through experience, but on the defensive end, the Lakers are simply watching the Spurs score, and now the Lakers can only ask for more blessings. The Lakers are also more obsessed with the small lineup, Thomas Jr., Westbrook, Horton Tucker at the same time, the three-guard lineup completely disregarded the defense, the most critical thing is that the Lakers even put Howard an inside line for a period of time, but the outside line did not shoot the shooting rate, the Lakers' advantage directly became a disadvantage.
In fact, the Lakers lose two points are the most critical, one is that the performance of the defensive end is too bad, the legs and feet of the veteran are almost with many Spurs this group of young people, and the Spurs' tug-of-war is quite good, coupled with Popovich's homework is more sufficient, the Lakers really can't prevent it, a game actually let the Spurs take 138 points, and the huge gap of 28 points has also become a shame for the Lakers.
The second is that the Lakers' three-point shot is too low, the outside firepower is simply heartbreaking, the whole team only hit 5 of the 27 three-point shots, and the outside line is simply a chicken rib. Holding the ball even wants to say that the Lakers have no outside shooters, if there is please stand up, this game spurs shot 18 three-pointers, the Lakers only have a pitiful 5 three-pointers.
In the end, James played 35 minutes, bombed 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, shot 26 shots and shot 15 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and although his personal performance was good, he looked pale and weak in the case of the Lakers losing. The imbalance of the three-point ball and the defensive crotch have become the key points for the Lakers to lose, and if these two major problems cannot be solved, the Lakers' loss process is far from over.
What do you think is the crux of the Lakers' loss?
