: Six hundred thirty-eight. Lose the Warriors again

Sometimes the game is so turbulent, watching the Lakers play the advantage in the last few minutes of the first half, but by the beginning of the third quarter, the situation immediately changed. Apex novels update fastest
Just say that playing against the Warriors, a few points or even a dozen points difference is not considered a point difference. This time it has proved this again. Barnes, who opened today, broke out after being suppressed by Green for five or six minutes. In the third quarter, they scored three three-pointers. Although the Lakers kept a 50% shooting percentage, the Warriors tied the score in just over a minute.
Liu Ren is really painful. He played with him, except for a strong jump to the basket and a layup, he was shot twice by Barnes, and he was blocked by Randall and was shot by Barnes. No?
This Barnes slapped under Green's defense, but when he was on defense, he suddenly exploded? And this Randall, aren't you tired? There was no rest for a second at halftime.
Liu Ren hates this kind of physical blame... Uh... He forgot that he is also an individual to blame.
Not only was Liu Ren depressed on the defensive end, but Liu Ren was also depressed on the offensive end. The Warriors' defensive team is really amazing. The rest of the Lakers can let go of him.
Kobe is absent today, and the Warriors' defense is tougher on him. McCollum keeps getting opportunities. It was not D'Antoni arranged this time, but McCollum really took the opportunity. In Barn After Slian cut three three-pointers, McCollum and Antetokounmpo supported the Lakers' offense without being overwhelmed by a sudden wave of offense by the Warriors.
Driven by McCollum’s offensive firepower and Antetokounmpo’s passing support, the Lakers’ Nance and Monroe’s offenses also played quite well. Only Liu Ren was targeted, and he still had to. Stopped running constantly gives him a chance to score and attracts the Warriors defense to a greater extent, but his actions can only keep him scoring normally and cannot give him a chance to break out.
Liu Ren is depressed, and Curry is also depressed. Every time he plays the Lakers, he will be regarded as a key defensive target. It is not difficult to score 30 points, but it is almost impossible to break out.
In fact, this kind of thing is normal for a real super team.
The strongest players of super teams are not actually the key to determining the direction of the game. Their role is to get the points they should get and help the team lay the foundation. The specific direction of the game depends on the role players.
For example, last season, Curry was undoubtedly the core of the Warriors. The man who scored first. The Lakers also used Kobe as the first offensive choice last season, but the two teams played against each other last season. Both Kobe and Curry performed only Normally, Kobe scored 22 and 3 points, and Curry scored 25 and 6 points. There was no chance of breaking out, but Klay Thompson and Liu Ren broke out and staged several big scenes between the two.
It was the same in the previous Heat’s two consecutive championships. James played that basis, and those role players were the key to winning. For example, in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, if James didn’t score and assist in the fourth quarter, he would The score was killed, and there was no chance of Ray Allen's final lore.
For the five champions of the Lakers in the new century, if there is no sustained and stable performance of O'Neal and Kobe to delay the game, there is no chance for Fisher to become the key man.
Both Liu Ren and Curry are depressed and desperately trying to maximize the scoring space for their teammates.
Generally speaking, the Warriors have the advantage in overall strength today. The reason is that the Lakers did not make Kobe today, and Korver is no longer as brave as last season. Without Kobe, the Lakers’ first offensive point without the ball. In the real bayonet fight into the third quarter, the Lakers began to lose ground.
D'Antoni is very anxious. Not going to Kobe today is indeed a misguided plan, but given him a chance to re-elect, he will still take Kobe off in rotation, because the coach has to count, otherwise it will adversely affect the team's military spirit. .
The thing that makes D'Antoni painful is not Kobe's failure, but Korver.
Korver was amazing last season. He averaged 3 three-pointers in the regular season. Most of his scoring close to 12 points per game were three-pointers. The three-point shooting percentage during the Eagles was a terrifying 4%. Nineteenth, the Lakers even reached 52%, which made their opponents nightmare. Their three-point shooting percentage for the entire season was 50.7%!
But this year Korver has fallen a bit sharply. Of course, compared to last season, he still has a 40% three-point shooting rate this year. He often has four or five three-pointers in a single game and the shooting rate is extremely high, but There are also situations where one-third of n is 0, and then he doesn't dare to shoot.
Korver’s condition was not so good today. He scored 6 calls during the playing time and only hit a three-pointer. The defensive end was as weak as Nick Young, who had a bad hand. He started with Nick in the second quarter. -Like when Young was on the court, Korver's presence gave the Warriors several rounds of scoring opportunities.
Combining various factors, the final direction of the game did not go to the end as D'Antoni imagined. The point difference was overtaken by the Warriors, and then slowly opened...
Antetokounmpo and McCollum were the two best performers for the Lakers today. They played the entire game and scored 53 points as the starters, but they couldn't stop the Lakers from gradually losing...

On January 15th, the Lakers lost their 41st game of the season, 116 to 120, not many losses. There are various reasons for the loss, and there is even one reason for self-comfort, that is, Kobe did not play.
But if you lose, you lose, and judging from the points, the Lakers did not lose unjustly.
Antetokounmpo scored 20 points, McCollum had 33 points, and Liu Ren had 24 points. The Lakers only scored 106 points, and these three people scored 77 points.
Except for these three players, the shooting percentage is pretty good, and everyone else on the Lakers can be described as terrible.
As the season progresses, some previously invisible problems are now slowly emerging.
The Lakers this year is very different from last season. The biggest difference is that the strength of several young players has improved, and this is really not a good thing for the Lakers.
Clarkson, Antetokounmpo, LaVine, and McCollum have made great progress, especially Antetokounmpo and McCollum, who all have the strength to become an absolute starter for any team. There are more ways to play with the ball, and LaVine also begins to restless. This restlessness becomes more and more obvious as the season deepens. This is also the reason for D'Antoni's tough rotation strategy. Today, Green did not get much playing time, even though the Lakers It has been ugly since the second half, but D'Antoni still has to give LaVine more playing time~EbookFREE.me~ is forced to put Antetokounmpo at the power forward position.
But what can D'Antoni do is to let them play the regular season happily, so that in the playoffs can they have a reason to obey the arrangements and make them not complain, because D'Antoni’s goals are the same as the Lakers’ management. Just defending...

January 16th at 1:00 noon.
Toyota Center Training Hall.
The current leaders of the four Lakers, Magic, Kupchak, Nash, and Pelinka, are in the Staples Center for a meeting on the team's future lineup.
"Giannis is here to practice shooting again today? Just finished the game yesterday, this young man is really not afraid of getting tired!" The magician laughed.
"Haha, I just saw the depressed face of the boss. It seems that Giannis has been pulling to train again. The boss doesn't like to go out. He usually trains at home when he rests." Nash felt sorry for Liu Ren. Emoji.
"Alas, Giannis is such a great player with good talent and hard work. It is a pity that it is not in our team's future team building plan. It is a pity." Pelinka exclaimed.
"That's right..." The magician was also a little sorry, and then he changed the front. "But why can't we try to keep Giannis? He can play point guard, and he can play very well, and his organization is very good. He needs him. When scoring, he still stood up and scored 20 points like the last game."
Hearing this, Kupchak hesitated and said: "We already have Zach. He is the core defender who the boss personally requested to be traded back. Even if it is just to make the boss happy, we have to keep him, not to mention. You have all seen Zach’s talent, very good, enough to serve as the core point guard in the future."
Kupchak has been a little depressed lately.
