1064: The Lakers where the convulsions gather
Los Angeles Lakers, 10-11. At first glance, such results are unremarkable. But if you take a closer look at their winning record, you'll see that it's a very strange team.
There is no doubt that the hard power of the Lakers is not strong enough. But in 10 games, they've also taken the likes of the Rockets, Lakers and Thunder.
If the league has the statistic of "most upsets", the Los Angeles Lakers will definitely be in first place.
The Lakers can always be upset, and it is not a "good luck" that can explain it.
The reason why they were always able to magically commit the following was not because of the three young men, but because of Louis. Williams, Jordan. Clarkson and Grizzlies veteran Nick. Yang three convulsions!
All three guys are known to have convulsive attributes. Lowe has always been the boss of the "convulsions", and Clarkson has already scored 40+ points in a single game 7 times with the Lakers.
Nick. Not to mention Yang, when he was in the finals, he was so helpless that even the Heat triumvirate was helpless.
As long as one of these three people is drawn, the Lakers have a chance. If they can draw two, then the Lakers can win the game!
Even the warriors of the "Galactic Battleship" failed to break this law.
After all, in the face of this kind of convulsive player, even a strong team has no way to limit it.
Once their kind of player is drawn, all kinds of fairy balls can be skewered.
If the Lakers come again. Smith, their "Pumping F4" combo is sure to be invincible!
At this point, when Lowe threw in that difficult three-pointer, Link couldn't help but be a little worried.
If that's a signal for the Lakers to start a draw today...... Then the grizzly bear will have to be careful.
The Grizzlies then attacked, and Dinwiddie's layup was interfered with by Randle's rough rush, which undoubtedly gave the Lakers a chance to close the score further.
Randle grabbed the rebound and handed the ball straight to Luis. Williams, who ran beyond the three-point line with the ball without any pause or pass, but just pulled up and shot.
"Another pull-up shot! Lowe seems to be very confident now! ”
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the ball went in again!
"Damn, come in again! Worthy of Louis. Williams, this Curry-style three-point goal is not imitated by everyone! With 20 points left, will there still be suspense in this game? ”
The lifeless Staples Center was suddenly full of life, and they knew it was a precursor to the Lakers' miracle!
After that, Dinwiddie vs Louis. Williams was on guard. With six points in a row from his opponent, Dinwiddie couldn't stand it.
Lu Wei was indeed forced a little embarrassed by Dinwiddie, after all, in terms of height and confrontation, he was completely at a disadvantage.
Forced to helplessness, Lowe passes the ball to Jordan. Clarkson, Clarkson duffled a shot from beyond the three-point line and flew the somewhat impatient Richardson into the air. Then, he drove straight into the basket!
Clarkson burst into the air, two steps into the free-throw line, and put on a posture to smash the dunk with one hand!
Harrell naturally didn't allow this to happen, and the last thing he was afraid of was bouncing off his opponent.
So in the air, Harrell, who was not tall, used his bounce and arm span to weave a "big net" and cover Clarkson.
Clarkson and Harrell collided violently in the air, and Clarkson, whose physique was completely different from Harrell's level, was hit and lost his center of gravity, and the whole person turned sideways in the air.
His dunk was ruined, but he casually threw the ball to the basket before he fell.
"Doot toot!" As Clarkson fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded exactly.
However, to everyone's surprise, at the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball that was thrown by Clarkson at random actually fell into the net after a few turns on the hoop.
Clarkson miraculously scored the ball with a total loss of center of gravity, and he had to add a penalty!
"Oh my God, Jordan. Clarkson's goal was nothing short of magical! I saw him all over the air with my own eyes, how could such a ball be scored!? The narrator covered his head and widened his eyes.
Clarkson, on the other hand, got back on his feet with the help of his teammates, and didn't forget to wave his fists.
Link also gritted his teeth, and now, two of the Lakers' three "convulsions" were pulled out.
Grizzlies are in big trouble.
"Fuck, what shit luck!" Next to Link, Dave. Qiao Ge couldn't help but curse.
If Clarkson hits a free throw, the Grizzlies' advantage will be reduced to 17 points in the blink of an eye.
17 points, 10 years ago, was still a huge margin to guarantee victory.
But now, 17 points is not safe at all.
Link glanced at George, who nodded slightly.
The two didn't say a word, and they had already completed the communication.
Joggle knew that Link was telling himself, "If the score continues to be close, then replace me on the court!" ”
On the pitch, Clarkson scored the ball steadily. With just 17 points remaining, the Grizzlies had to settle the game with a single goal.
This time, Tobias. Harris singles out Larry Jr. Nance succeeded. His breakaway layup was a one-off layup that pulled two points back.
But after the Lakers attacked, Clarkson hit a three-point shot after receiving a breakthrough shot from Loewe!
In an instant, the stands at the Staples Center were as lively as a volcanic eruption. Lu Wei and Clarkson combined for 12 points in a row, and this terrible firepower is difficult for even the Grizzlies to parry!
The difference is forced to close again, and now there are only 16 points left! Joggle called for a halt to the game, and the best option for the convulsions was to interrupt their rhythm.
He still hasn't replaced Link, and he thinks the Grizzlies just need to re-extend the margin to 20 points or more, even if they suppress this rally.
He doesn't want to be led by the nose by an underdog, and he still thinks the Grizzlies have the chance to win!
But after the timeout, Joggle saw an old acquaintance on the court.
On the Lakers' side, Luke. Wharton with Nick. Young looks at Lore instead. Deng!
In this way, the Lakers have all played in the "three draws"!
The Lakers' lineup is basically abandoning defense, but it's clear that Wharton's focus is not on defense at all.
Anyway, this is already a dead end, following the rules is a loss, taking risks is also a loss, so it's better to fight!
Of course, Wharton knows that the Lakers' task at this stage is still to mess up, or to fight for Gao Shun's draft pick.
But it's Los Angeles after all, and you have to get a big win once in a while.
Besides, Wharton has his own considerations. He doesn't want the Lakers to be like the 76ers before them, and the team culture is deformed.
As the head coach of the Lakers' long-term plan, Wharton is going to nurture his players' desire to win from now on.
He wants to tell his young players that they only have a chance to win, even if they face the first in the league, they must fight hard!
A team that doesn't want to win can't really be great.
If the Lakers can reverse the Grizzlies today...... There is no doubt that the Lakers will be able to continue to shine for a while even if they have a poor record.
The Grizzlies launched an onslaught, but Harris's onslaught failed to score this time.
Link stomped his foot reluctantly, and Harris was actually fine with his performance, after all, you can't expect a player to score every time he attacks.
But at this critical moment when the Lakers launched a counterattack, their offense was broken again, and it was really very dangerous.
Sure enough, the Lakers seized the opportunity that Harris failed to score the ball. Young scored three points again!
It seems that the convulsions of Lowe and Clarkson have also infected Nick. Young.
Four three-pointers in a row, plus a 2+1, the Lakers instantly approached the difference to 13 points!
At this time, there was only 1 minute 03 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.
"Damn, we can't let them get close anymore!" Link couldn't sit still, and the garbage time was brutally beaten back by the other party, which was shameful enough.
If the Lakers really make a big comeback today, Link himself will not forgive himself.
Losing on the starting 24-game winning streak would be too demoralizing!
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Lowe to break through and make a foul, Link returned to the field.
Not only Link, but Jogle also replaced Jokic and Conley by the way, which can be regarded as the return of the main lineup.
Before they could fight back, though, Louis. Williams also had to make two free throws.
Not surprisingly, Lowe hit both free throws. By the time the third quarter had been scored eight points in an understatement.
And the Grizzlies' lead is only 11 points.
Link looked at the big screen on the spot, and there wasn't much time left in the third quarter. It seems that the final battle can only be put into the fourth quarter.
Link didn't expect someone to stand in the way of the Grizzlies' winning streak.
In that case, then crush them!
