On April 28, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs ushered in the first round of G4 focus battles, and the Denver Nuggets went to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers away. In the first three games, the Lakers all played a double-digit lead in the first half, but the exact same plot is that they all collapsed in the second half, of which G2 was even more miserable by Murray's whistle, falling behind 0-3, and has suffered 11 consecutive defeats against the Nuggets (regular season + playoffs). Before the game, the American media ESPN gave a prediction of the winning rate of this game: the Lakers' winning rate is still as low as 43.0%, and the Nuggets' winning rate is 57.0%.
Sadly, there has never been a team in the history of the NBA that has fallen behind 0-3 to complete the comeback, however, the game still has to be played one game at a time, and what the Lakers have to do is not to think about being out or eliminated first, but to think about how to avoid being swept and at least build a little confidence for the Lakers next season, as James said: "As long as you are alive, you must always have faith." We need to try to win G4 and then fight it one game at a time!" It is worth mentioning that James has a 14-12 record in the knockout games of his career, and the Lakers are destined to fight against the water today!
In terms of injuries, Vanderbilt, Schifino, and Reddish on the Lakers' side continue to be absent, and Wood ushers in the return from injury, and the starting five in this game are still: James, Davis, Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, and the Nuggets' Kankar and Reggie Jackson are absent, and the starting lineup has not changed: Murray, Gordon, Pope, Jokic, Porter Jr.
At the beginning of the first quarter, James took the lead in scoring two points and won the first place for the Lakers, and then broke through to attract two people, and the thick eyebrows that were cut straight into the air were dunked, Russell suddenly sped up past Porter Jr., and scored a layup against Jokic, Hachimura also had three points in the bottom corner, and the Lakers started with a 3-point lead, and the script was still the same script, hoping that today's Lakers will play a different result.
Jokic reproduced a magician-like pass, found Porter Jr. with a flick from behind, and directly completed a two-handed dunk. James hit Murray with the ball on his back, hit a back-to-back jumper, and then defended Gordon to successfully complete a steal, and the thick eyebrows can still play Jokic, and Porter Jr. also has a three-point shot at the top of the arc, and after the first quarter, the Nuggets trailed the Lakers by 5 points.
The Lakers' offense in the first quarter was really good, how to play, and they didn't receive the impact of falling behind the score at all. Coming back in the second quarter, James still chose to hit Murray with his back in the low post, hit a jumper again, Russell dribbled at the top of the arc, and hit a super long three-point shot with a quick stop, and his self-confidence came back. Murray was caught in the middle of the line, the pass was wrong out of bounds, the Nuggets challenge failed, and Reaves also had a long-range three-pointer, and the Lakers had extended their lead to 11 points. After James received the ball under the basket, he passed it back to the thick eyebrows, hit a layup and added free throws, James singled Gordon with a jumper in the low post, and at halftime, the Lakers led 61-48 to 13 points.
In the first half, on the Lakers' side, thick eyebrows scored 17 points and 11 rebounds, James had 14 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Reaves had 13 points, Russell had 7 points, and on the Nuggets side, Jokic had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Murray had 11 points, and Porter Jr. had 10 points. It's worth mentioning that the Nuggets made a whopping 12 free throws in the half, compared to just five for the Lakers.
Yibian fought again, Hachimura hit Pope with his back in the low post, turned over and scored 4 points in a row with a jumper, and the Lakers had a lead of 15 points. Murray broke through to the restricted area for a layup, but James chased the volleyball hat, the thick eyebrows threw themselves under the basket, and forced Jokic to hit, and turned around Jokic to respond with a three-point shot against the thick eyebrows, and Russell hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc, and then hit a three-point shot, which was completely opened today. Porter Jr. made a three-point foul, Pope stole James' pass, and the Nuggets chased 10 points in a wave and stopped the Lakers directly. After the timeout, Russell hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner, and then played Porter Jr. to make a shot, and after the third quarter, the Lakers still led the Nuggets by 11 points. I have to say that today the Lakers persevered in the third quarter and were not defeated.
In the fourth quarter, James was full of physical strength, accelerated to break through and scored a layup against the three-man defense, and the Lakers led by another 15 points. Then James defended the pop ball out of bounds, the referee awarded the frontcourt ball, James was so dissatisfied that he jumped to his feet and shouted at the coach's bench to challenge, but Ham ignored it, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to score an easy layup. Russell received a two-handed dunk from James and then hit a three-point shot, and the Lakers had a lead of as many as 19 points over the Nuggets. There was no suspense in the game, and in the end, the Lakers chased the big score to 1-3 with a 119-108 upset, creating an NBA miracle and ending the 11-game losing streak against the Nuggets.
In terms of data, on the Lakers' side, James scored 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, thick eyebrows cut 25 points, 23 rebounds and 6 assists, Zhan Mei bombarded 55 points, 28 rebounds and 10 assists, Russell regained confidence, contributed 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Hachimura 9 points, Reaves 19 points, and on the Nuggets side, Jokic scored 33 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists, Murray 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Porter Jr. 27 points and 11 rebounds, Gordon performed sluggishly, only 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Pope 14 points. It is worth mentioning that the difference between the two teams in this game was 25-18, in addition to the Lakers in the fourth quarter to recover some free throws, the first three quarters of the two sides nearly 2 times the huge free throw difference also caused a huge controversy.
