In this game, the Lakers established a double-digit advantage in the first quarter and a lead of nearly 20 points at half time. In the third quarter, the Lakers led by 25 points at most, and finally expanded the score to 32 points. In this game, the Blazers were full of wounded soldiers. Neither Mackler Mo nor their national defense expert Covernton showed up. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic and the health and safety agreement, they didn't take part in the competition.
Another reason is the overall defense of the Blazers. Their team-building ideas and signing status this season are really poor. Lillard played badly in this game. Only one 3-pointer was made, and he scored 18. C.J. Mackler scored a team-high 28 points and Powell scored 12 points. It can be said that the Blazers were caught by the Lakers and beaten up. No one can match LeBron James and no one can defend the Lakers.
In this game, the Lakers hit 19 three-pointers, which can be said to be very unusual, because the Lakers' three-pointers were very bad from the beginning of the season. This game is too bad for the Blazers' defense, so the Lakers' three-pointers are over the years, but we still need to face up to some problems. The Lakers have won only one of the last seven games and lost six, which is also a big question. What kind of play does the Lakers need to impact this season and what kind of play is needed to complete the mission at the beginning of the season?
