One Thousand and Sixty-Four: The Lakers Gathered with Convulsions

Los Angeles Lakers, 10 wins and 11 losses. At first glance, this result seems unremarkable. But if you take a closer look at their winning record, you will find that this is a very strange team.

There is no doubt that the Lakers' hard power is not strong enough. But in their 10-game victory, they also defeated Western Conference powerhouses such as the Rockets, Lakers and Thunder.

If the league had a statistic for "most upsets", the Los Angeles Lakers would definitely rank first.

The Lakers can always get upset frequently, which cannot be explained by just "good luck".

The reason why they are always able to miraculously commit fouls is actually not because of those three young people, but because of the three twitchy players of Lou Williams, Jordan Clarkson and Grizzlies veteran Nick Young!

As we all know, these three guys all have convulsive properties. Lu Wei has always been a big player in the "Trapped Game", and Clarkson has already scored 40+ points in a single game 7 times with the Lakers.

Not to mention Nick Young. In the finals, he was such a presence that even the Big Three of the Heat were helpless.

As long as one of these three people takes action, the Lakers will have a chance. If they can draw two, the Lakers can win the game!

Even the "Galactic Battleship" warriors failed to break this law.

After all, facing such a convulsive player, even a strong team has no way to restrain him.

Players like them can score all kinds of fairy balls once they start playing.

If the Lakers get another J.R. Smith, their "Torrent F4" combination will definitely be invincible!

At this time, when Lu Wei made that difficult three-pointer, Link couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If this is a signal for the Lakers to start drawing today...then the Grizzlies need to be more careful.

The Grizzlies then attacked, and Dinwiddie's layup was interfered with by Randall's rough collision. This undoubtedly gave the Lakers a chance to get closer to the score.

After Randall got the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Lou Williams. The latter took the ball and ran outside the three-point line without making any pause or passing the ball. Instead, he directly took it up and shot.

"Another pull-up shot! Lu Wei seems to be very confident now!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the ball was scored again!

"Damn, another goal! As expected of Lou Williams, not everyone can imitate this kind of Curry-style three-point goal! There is still 20 points left, will this game happen again? Suspense?"

The lifeless Staples Center suddenly became full of vitality. They knew that this was a precursor to the Lakers' miracle!

After that, Dinwiddie implemented strict defense against Lou Williams. Dinwiddie couldn't stand it when his opponent scored 6 points in a row.

Lu Wei was indeed forced to be a little embarrassed by Dinwiddie. After all, he was completely at a disadvantage in terms of height and confrontation.

Forced into a helpless situation, Lu Wei passed the ball to Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson made a feint shot from beyond the three-point line, sending the somewhat impatient Richardson flying. Then, he drove straight in and hit the basket!

Clarkson suddenly jumped up after taking two steps to the free throw line, as if he was going to dunk with one hand!

Harrell naturally doesn't allow this to happen. What he is least afraid of is jumping compared with his opponents.

So in the air, Harrell, who was not tall, used his bounce and wingspan to weave a "big net" that completely covered Clarkson.

Clarkson and Harrell collided violently in the air. Clarkson, whose physique was not at the same level as Harrell, was hit so hard that he lost his center of gravity and turned sideways in the air.

His dunk was ruined, but he casually tossed the ball toward the basket before he fell.

"Beep!" As Clarkson fell to the ground heavily, the referee's whistle sounded exactly.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that when the whistle sounded, the basketball that Clarkson randomly threw up actually spun around the rim a few times and then fell into the net.

Clarkson miraculously scored the ball while losing all his center of gravity, and even got an extra penalty!

"Oh my God, Jordan Clarkson's goal was amazing! I saw with my own eyes that his whole body turned sideways in the air. How could such a goal be scored!?" The commentator covered his head and widened his eyes. .

Clarkson stood up again with the help of his teammates, not forgetting to wave his fist.

Link also gritted his teeth. At this time, two of the Lakers' three "twitching hands" were drawn out.

The grizzlies are in big trouble.

"Fuck, what kind of bullshit luck!" Beside Link, Dave Jorge couldn't help but cursed.

If Clarkson hits the extra free throw, the Grizzlies' advantage will be reduced to only 17 points in the blink of an eye.

17 points, ten years ago, was still a huge margin enough to guarantee victory.

But now, 17 points is not safe at all.

Link glanced at Qiaogel, who also nodded slightly.

The two of them had completed the communication without saying a word.

Joger knew that Link was telling him, "If the score continues to get closer, then put me on the field again!"

On the court, Clarkson steadily made the free throw. With only 17 points left, the Grizzlies must stabilize the situation with a goal.

This time, Tobias Harris singled out Larry Nance Jr. and succeeded. His breakthrough layup was completed in one go, successfully regaining two points.

But after the Lakers attacked, Clarkson received Lu Wei's breakthrough ball and hit a three-pointer!

In an instant, the stands at Staples Center were as lively as a volcano erupting. Lu Wei and Clarkson scored a combined 12 points in a row. Even the Grizzlies could not resist this terrifying firepower!

The point difference is getting closer again, and now there are only 16 points left! Joger called to stop the game. The best option for dealing with convulsive players is to interrupt their rhythm.

He still did not replace Link. He believed that the Grizzlies only needed to expand the point difference to more than 20 points to suppress this counterattack.

He doesn't want to be led by a weak team. He still believes that the Grizzlies have a chance to win!

But after the timeout, Joger saw an old acquaintance on the court.

For the Lakers, Luke Walton replaced Nick Young to watch Luol Deng!

In this way, the Lakers will all appear in the "three draws"!

The Lakers' lineup basically gave up defense, but it's obvious that Walton's focus is not on defense at all.

Anyway, this is already a dead end. You will lose if you follow the rules, and you will lose if you take risks, so you might as well give it a try!

Walton certainly knows that the Lakers' current task is still to fend for themselves and fight for high draft picks.

But this is Los Angeles after all, and occasionally a big win is necessary.

Besides, Wharton has his own considerations. He doesn't want the Lakers to be like the 76ers before, where the team culture has become deformed.

As the long-term head coach of the Lakers, Walton must cultivate the desire to win in his players from now on.

He wants to tell his young players that as long as they have a chance to win, even if they face the league's number one, they must fight hard!

A team without the desire to win cannot truly become great.

If the Lakers can reverse the Grizzlies today...there is no doubt that the Lakers can continue to be prosperous for a while even if their record is poor.

The Grizzlies launched a fierce attack, but Harris's impact this time failed to result in a goal.

Link stomped his feet reluctantly. There was actually nothing wrong with Harris' performance. After all, you can't ask a player to score a goal every time he attacks.

But at this critical moment when the Lakers are launching a counterattack, if their offense is interrupted, it will be really dangerous.

Sure enough, the Lakers seized the opportunity when Harris failed to score the ball, and Nick Young scored another three-pointer!

It seems that Lu Wei and Clarkson's convulsions have also been infected by Nick Young.

Four consecutive three-pointers, plus a 2+1, the Lakers instantly closed the point difference to 13 points!

At this time, there was only 1 minute and 03 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

"Damn it, we can't let them get closer to the score!" Link couldn't sit still. It was embarrassing enough to be beaten back by the opponent during the garbage time.

If the Lakers really make a big comeback today, Link himself will not forgive himself.

Losing at the start of a 24-game winning streak would be a huge blow to morale!

Taking advantage of Lu Wei's opportunity to break through and draw a foul, Link went into battle again.

Not only Link, Joger also replaced Jokic and Conley, which can be regarded as the return of the main lineup.

But before they could counterattack, Lou Williams had to make two free throws.

Not surprisingly, Lu Wei made both free throws. So far in the third quarter, he has easily scored 8 points.

The Grizzlies' lead is only 11 points left.

Link looked at the big screen and saw that there was not much time left in the third quarter. It seems that the final battle can only be postponed to the fourth quarter.

Link didn't expect that someone would stand in the way of the Grizzlies' winning streak.

In that case, crush them!
