Lakers vs Mavericks.
A game full of topics.
For the time being, the theme is "Goodbye Ex".
There are Lao Zhan and Irving playing again, thick eyebrows and Christie returning to Los Angeles as visiting players, and of course, Doncic facing the Mavericks for the first time.
Although they are all adults, they don't owe anything, and there is no need to pile up nostalgia and make the plot bloody.
We also understand that transactions are part of the business alliance, but when we see that scene, we will still be in a trance.
The most heartstring-tugging part is seeing thick eyebrows sitting on the Mavericks' bench.
The time of those years is vivid.
He really dedicated his best years to the Los Angeles Lakers... It deserves that kind of tribute.
It's a shame he wasn't able to play today's game due to injury.
As for Doncic, the other protagonist, this game does not need any mobilization.
Trade him away, maybe you can slowly let go.
But the Mavericks recently released a music promotion MV, in which Doncic appears several times, but these images are mosaiced.
This behavior has sparked widespread discussion and criticism.
A player who has just led the team to the finals gets this kind of treatment.
When it comes to Doncic, the Mavericks don't really respect the team's history...
Dongzi must be angry and resentful.
Let's talk about the game that just ended.
No bushy eyebrows, no Lively, no Gafford and no Caleb Martin, this is not a fully embodied Maverick.
So from the perspective of the strength of both sides, the away team has been greatly discounted, and the inside line could have played a table of mahjong, but no one was hurt...
The remnants of the battle can still see the dawn of victory in the end, what does it depend on?
Immortals + Buddhas.
Owen is 32 years old, but watching him play, I can still think of the classic lyrics: "The mentality of self-confidence and immortality will live to old age." ”
Shaved off his beard, he went back to the way he used to be.
He is strong, he is strong, and Ou Shenxian is still the role of the "lonely hero".
Klay, a few shells in the fourth quarter, also made people vaguely see him wearing the jersey of the Golden State Warriors...
However, the team was left with the Lakers' "best sixth man" PJ-Washington Superghost, and finally lost.
But the fighting temperament shown by the Lone Ranger today is serious...
As for the Lakers, there are thrilling victories.
Fighting the old master, Dongzi got a triple-double, and the win was expected.
The point I want to express today is that through this ball, we can see what else he can do with the 40-year-old James, who still has enough physical energy in the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, he shot 7 of 9, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and closed the game!
In the last quarter, he can hit three-pointers, can play fast offense immediately after assisting on the defensive end, can dunk, can break through to make kills...
"If LeBron can't control the game, we can't win the game; If the fans don't play three good times at the end, we can't win the game. ”
That's Reddick's assessment.
How could Lao Zhan have physical fitness in the fourth quarter?
In the last two or three seasons, he has struggled to do that, thinking that if he doesn't play in the first three quarters, the Lakers' game will be dead.
Once he exerts his strength, he can strangle the powerful Nuggets for three quarters, but he will not escape the situation of being cut off by the fire.
However, after Doncic arrived, the situation changed dramatically.
James had 27 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists today, and only had 3 assists in the game.
Doncic said of James: "He took over the fourth quarter and it was unbelievable. ”
In these two games, Lao Zhan has completely put the ball in Doncic's hands, and he is all kinds of ballless...
After three quarters of fighting with Luka on the other side, you can stand it when you find that you have to face a fully charged James in the fourth quarter?
James can play without the ball because his shot has grown, and he can accept giving the ball to Doncic and to Reaves.
In the transition section of Dongzi's rest, he can play with the bench, and then reunite in the last few minutes of the final quarter...
This is where the Lakers are scary.
Why is there such a situation?
Thank you to these two men.
