Chapter 271 The Impassable Barrier

After the Lakers beat the Pacers away, they defeated the Grizzlies and Pelicans away. At this time, the Grizzlies have completely lost their qualifications for the playoffs, and the Pelicans have fallen out of the top eight in the West. The strength of these two teams is completely unable to compete with the Lakers. The Grizzlies simply lost to the Lakers in a defeat. Although the Pelicans caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers, the Lakers The team still took away this precious victory away.

On March 3, BJ time, the Lakers played away against the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons traded in the middle of the season. Under the leadership of Drummond and Griffin, they returned to the playoffs. Compared with the Pistons in the first half of the season The team played in a mess. Now that the Pistons have supplemented Griffin as a leader, they have played in an orderly manner. Griffin not only performed very well in personal offense, but also organized the entire team very well. The Lakers When facing the Pistons in the away game, I was a bit unaccustomed to the Pistons' game style, especially the inside rebounds of the Lakers were completely blown by Drummond. Lopez and Paul Mark couldn't beat Drummond at all. , Coupled with Griffin's excellent jumping, the Lakers are at a disadvantage in the interior today, so they regrettably lost this game and ended their winning streak.In this game, Griffin scored 27 points and 31 rebounds, while Drummond scored 13 points and 19 rebounds. The two teamed up to score 22+50, which completely exploded the Lakers' inside players.

After losing to the Pistons, the Lakers ushered in their own three consecutive home games. They won the Mavericks, Kings and Bucks in a row at home. The Lakers stood up in each of these three games. In the game that won the Mavericks, Ingram broke out. He scored 33 points and completely destroyed the Mavericks' inside line by himself.In the Lakers' home defeat of the Kings, Paul Mark scored 28 points and 15 rebounds. The Kings, who are as young as the Lakers, did not have experienced players like Wade, Thomas Jr., and Lopez. The task is to play badly, so the Lakers still easily won the game.The game where the Lakers beat the Bucks at home was a bitter battle. The two sides fought fiercely until overtime, but the Bucks suddenly lost power when they entered the overtime. They were defeated by the Lakers after a wave of offensive climax. Lost this game."Antetokounmpo" Antetokounmpo played very well in this game. He scored 36 points and 17 rebounds, but the overall strength of the Bucks is still not as good as the Lakers. With 32 points, Lopez also scored 5 three-pointers, and Thomas Jr. scored 22 points and 6 assists as a substitute. The three of them led the Lakers to a dangerous pass at home. Han Ziqi Under Bledsoe's defense, he played averagely and only scored 6 points and 3 assists. This is his lowest score in a single game in two months. Today, Han Ziqi has grown rapidly. After two or three points and now being able to score 38 points in a single game, Han Ziqi's growth is an important factor for the rapid growth of the Lakers' overall strength.

Since then, the Lakers' March games have all ended.There are less than ten games left in April, and the current record of the Lakers has basically stabilized at the third place in the Western Conference. As long as the Lakers don't suffer a losing streak in the last few games, their ranking will remain firmly in the Western Conference. three.

The Lakers went away to challenge the Utah Jazz. The young Mitchell scored 32 points in this game, and Gobert's 20 points, 20 rebounds and 7 assists completely turned his inside into a no-fly zone. De or Thomas Jr., or Ingram, they have all eaten Gobert's hot pot one after another. Due to Gobert's dominance in the interior, the Lakers' guards dare not break through anymore and can only rely on outside shots. To score, the Jazz relied on this advantage to continuously expand their defensive range. As long as Gobert stood alone on the inside, it would be an insurmountable barrier for the Lakers players.

After the Lakers lost to the Jazz in an away game, they defeated the Spurs at home. The Spurs had won four games in the last five games. Six, but with their victories in the last few games, they have returned to fifth place in the West, but the Jazz's victory over the Lakers the day before yesterday, coupled with the Lakers' victory over the Spurs at home today, the Spurs once again Falling to the sixth position in the Western Conference, the Spurs without Leonard really can't compete with the Lakers. The super rookie of the Lakers, Paul Mark, always plays very well every time he meets Aldridge. They can always score about [-] points. The core of the Spurs, Aldridge, is equivalent to being replaced by Paul Mark of the Lakers. The rest of the contest is that the Lakers players have better athletic ability and physical strength. Although the team members have rich experience, but by the end of the season, their physical strength is not as good as at the beginning of the season, and the lads of the Lakers are still full of drive, especially Ingram, who is at the small forward position. He played like a fish in water, especially when he practiced a mid-range flip-up jumper. With his height and long wingspan, Ingram has almost no defensive players who can block his flip-back jumper. , Once Ingram's touch is normal, it will be easy for him to score points.With the growth of Han Ziqi, Paul Mark, Ingram, Kuzma and others, Wade and Thomas Jr. are also invisibly constantly giving up their shot rights. They are deliberately cultivating the offensive ability of the young Lakers. , in terms of results, they did achieve the effect.

After defeating the Spurs at home, the Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The Timberwolves are now ranked ninth in the West this season. This, coupled with the Timberwolves' famous "Three Collapses" moment, caused them to lose a lot of games that they shouldn't have lost. Jimmy Butler has given everything to get the Timberwolves into the playoffs, but it seems , the Timberwolves' hopes of entering the playoffs are getting smaller and smaller.
