If the Lakers returning to the home court still can’t stop the Nuggets, then there is only one way to go. The Nuggets won the Lakers again at 119-108 on the road today, which not only pushed the Lakers into the desperate situation of 0-3 backward, but also stepped their feet to the threshold of the finals and ushered in the first finals trip Young Pioneer team history. Nuggets 3-0 Lakers, so decisive, so ruthless.
A good playoff game will bring all kinds of elements together before it comes to a lively scene. In this year’s playoffs, black eight had it, and even black seven had it. It was not uncommon for black eight to go to the finals. Even now black eight is about to enter the finals. There is no shortage of sweeping, which comes from the first round of 76 people sweeping basketable nets. Unexpectedly, the sweep in the West finals will be done again. Moreover, this wave swept because it appeared on the stage of the Western decision, which attracted more attention.
Today, the Nuggets will continue to thank Murray, especially Murray in the first half, just like Murray in the fourth quarter of the last one. Murray also fully proved that he was not only a well-known “key gentleman” of the alliance, but also a pioneer. Open the half-time technical statistics of the two teams, Murray’s 30 points are suddenly listed. Although the game was less than 37 points and the third quarter had not been scored, it was enough for other Nuggets players to make a fuss about it. And he only took 2 free throws. The Nuggets scored 19 free throws 10 times less than their opponents, but they still won. 50% of the total hit rate and of the three-point hit rate are their magic weapons.
Through today’s game, we can also see which players of the Lakers can stay and which players can be released.
Davis and rives both scored double points, and the “heavy eyebrow law” played a role again, but failed to bring victory. In the whole game, only James fell behind among the players who shot more than 10 in the 19-shot 8. Take off his three points (3 out of 9), and his hit rate is 5 out of 10 that can still be seen. Therefore, it can be said that James was dragged down by three points. However, this still cannot be used as an excuse for his overall hit rate to decline in this round of series. One more word, James is really old.
Russell’s performance is more like a disaster, with only 3 points in 1 of 8 shots (1 of 6 shots in 3-pointer). In fact, he has not played well in this round of series. You can say that he can’t find rim, or that he is limited by the defense of the Nuggets. In short, he pulled it very hard. In the first battle and the second battle, he scored 8 points and 10 points in a row. It can also be explained that he is not used to the high altitude of the Nuggets home. Today, there is no reason for this. Russell wants to renew his contract with the Lakers, but the wandering he left the Lakers for the second time may be nearby.
Besides Russell, there are Schroeder players who cannot stay. He got 25 minutes of playing time again today, but he scored 2 out of 5 shots, 0 out of 2 out of 3-point goals, only 5 points, and 6 out. In the series against Nuggets, he only scored 6 points and 4 points in three games, and only scored 15 points in three games. Whether the Lakers will keep him this summer is estimated to have a question mark.
When the game was in progress, there was a relatively positive news: the Lakers felt the progress of Reeves and eight village base, and they would discuss the renewal with them and keep them in the team. Reeves has been as good as ever since he was promoted to the first start in the second half of the season, and there are even surprises. He scored 20 + points against the Nuggets in three games. Eight village base since the G1 defense yokedge to eat the sweetness, although these two games failed to start, they were also reused. Today, he played a substitute for 34 minutes, again exceeding the first-mover Vanderbilt, and scored 13 points and 6 rebounds in 5 of 12.
The game is not over yet. Many hardcore fans of the Lakers have turned around and left the game. They are venting their dissatisfaction. But then again, the Lakers have come to this point this season. Although the series against the Nuggets, they can only fight for honor.
Looking forward to the beginning of the season, the Lakers only won 2 wins and lost 10 losses. Later, they miraculously sent away the Wei Shao and introduced a large number of outstanding fighting forces. From then on, they changed their faces. After fighting all the way, they entered the play-off and only took one game to advance. In the first round, they subjugate invincible and the second largest grizzly bear in the West. In the second round, they defeated the Warriors who had many questions and stories, and advanced to the West. Before meeting the Warriors, most of the experts were waiting to see the Lakers’s good show. They concluded that the Lakers must be defeated by the Warriors and finally hit the face one after another. If the Lakers do this, why do they want it?
Through this round of series, the Lakers can also see the scores, which players can be left and which players can be released. Reeves, eight village bases and Vanderbilt can be left, Russell and Schroeder can be released, and Malik Beasley and Lonnie Walker can continue to stay for a year. This is not easy to see when the team is doing well and thriving. Only when the team is not smooth and boring, can it be seen which are gold and which are just stones. It is unfortunate that the Lakers are 0-3 behind the Nuggets, but it also points out the direction for the team’s future team building.
