On March 21, U.S. time, the Lakers hosted the Washington Wizards. The Wizards have performed well this season, currently fifth in the East, but they have the same record as the Brooklyn Nets, who are sixth in the East, but they have fewer losses. But this kind of record is okay in the east, and when you come to the west, I'm sorry, you need to be in 10th place in the west. It's on par with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are already clearly out of the playoffs.

Look at this, and you know that some people say that the reason why James is scheduled for the Finals every year is because of the Eastern too much.

Therefore, his playoff pressure and consumption are relatively much smaller than those in the Western Conference, well, well, he plays against the Western powerhouses in the finals, and the winning rate is naturally not good. This makes some sense, after all, just talking about this year, the Raptors, who are third in the East, do you know what the situation is in the Western Conference? Is it the number one in the West Side? You may not believe it when you say it, you can't make it into the top eight!! Tied with the ninth-place Phoenix Suns!! The same is true of the original time and space, and the great inertia of history has not changed much in these aspects.

Third in the East, and in the 13-14 season, it can't even enter the top eight in the West??? This is satirized, and rightfully so.

That's why many people are proposing to abolish the divisions and determine the playoff standings based on their records.

In the East, since Jordan retired, it has been weak all year round, and there are only 2~3 strong teams, sometimes even only 1~2. Compared to the wildness of the Western Division, isn't it very cool, and what? There are a lot of teams to accompany the run, and the pre-playoffs are basically abused, and in many years, you can even watch it, only the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Wizards' starting point of this game is Wall + Bradley. Bill + Malchin. Gortat + Trevor. Ariza + Booker. This lineup is passable in the east, and it is ...... in the west There is a good chance that there will be no 33 wins now. The Lakers don't have to think about it, it's Kobe Bryant + Nash + Gasol + Tang Qian + Wesley. Johnson. The Four Kings have a role player below the level.

With Nash, Bryant's ball handling decreased dramatically, and his shots began to decline, and he only shot three times in the first quarter and scored five points. This is less than the previous 60 games, I don't know how much. But unlike before, even if there was no Kobe Bryant firing wildly on the outside, the score was still the Lakers' lead.

scored 33 points in a single quarter, of which Tang Qian actually scored 9 points rarely! The highest in the team in a single quarter! Gasol also got 6 points! Coupled with Nash's own 2 three-pointers and the bench score that was replaced at the end, the Lakers' scoring suddenly seemed to be blooming everywhere, with scoring ability everywhere and scoring points everywhere.

The Wizards broke through the interior and were repeatedly restrained, and the first quarter was embarrassed. Wall directly received 2 inside hats from Tang Qian, shooting only 1 of 7 shots in a single quarter. No way, Wall's three-point shot has always been a weakness, even in the 17-18 season, it is still cold, and the empty spots are sparse. And in addition to the three-point shot, his mid-range shooting has never been accurate, since the beginning of his rookie season, whether it is mid-range or mid-to-long-range, it is about 3 into 6 shooting rate, which is obviously not up to standard.

So it may be easy to force the inside line and deal with other teams, but it is really difficult to deal with the Lakers this season.

Tang Qian alone has frightened outside players who want to score points under the basket, and now there is another 7-foot big man back, and the real super twin towers have taken shape in the Lakers. At least on the defensive end, looking at the league, no one can beat it, and it can be called an iron wall.

The Wizards scored only 17 points in a single quarter, 33-17, and the Lakers established a large lead in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Wizards had a turnaround, and with the Lakers' No. 29 off the court, they finally had a chance to kill the inside. John. Wall, Bradley. Beal, both of whom hit the basket and won a lot of free throw opportunities. This is also the case with Wizards head coach Randy. What Whitman wanted to see. Everyone in the league now knows that the Lakers were the weakest in the second quarter, and he naturally asked the Wizards players to take the opportunity to score more points to help establish the lead in the second half.

The overall Wizards played well in the second quarter, and after Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian were all out of the game, the Lakers' defense was a bit "wide open". Especially after half a quarter, Gasol also went out of the break, which was even more messy. But D'Antoni was not in a hurry at all, because the tone of the team in the second quarter had been set as "offense" since Nash's return.

Even if there's no defense, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, try to delay the time, don't be spent by the opponent, and then in the second half, the main force with full physical energy will be used to harvest the game.

Nash made a lot of effort, but the Lakers still only scored 24 points, because the bench and role players tonight felt average. If this were Meeks and Nick. Yang is here, and the situation will be improved.

Now, there is still a bit of a feeling of "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", but even so, Nash still led the group to score 24 points. Although it is not as good as the Wizards' 32 points in a single quarter, at least the previous "must-flower" in the second quarter is gone.

The Lakers are now dragged into the second half, and that's a win.

In the locker room, after everyone rested for a while, Kobe Bryant stood up and pushed open the door:

"Alright, everyone's rested, let's go on the court to finish the game and send the Washingtonians back to the White House."

The Lakers' team centripetal force is improving little by little.
