Today, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 117-109 in the second game of the Western Conference semifinals and tied the total score 1-1. Veteran Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo played 29 minutes off the bench. He scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 interceptions on 4 of 9 shots. The efficiency value was the highest in the game at +28.
Rondo has been questioned by the Lakers this season because his reputation for not being good at shooting doesn’t seem to help him adjust to the Lakers system.
But in the decisive playoffs, his experience and ability to dominate the court helped a lot. Today, the Lakers went smoothly in the first half and held a big lead for most of the time. Rondo played in the second half of the first quarter. Although he didn’t score, he frantically sent assists to his teammates, especially in the last minute and a half. Markieff Morris not only hit three 3-pointers with consecutive assists, he also scored 3-pointers at the bell and contributed 7 in a single quarter. The assists left everyone astonished.
It can be said that the Lakers can take the lead early, and Rondo made the first contribution. After Rondo returned in the second quarter, Danny Green also helped Danny Green hit a triple at 4:31. He only scored 3 points in the first half, but his organizing role can be said to greatly reduce the pressure on LeBron James.
Many Lakers fans also said online that they should line up to apologize to Rondo, because they really didn’t expect him to fill that role.
In the second half, the Rockets relied on a triple to chase points, when Rondo returned, the situation was already very unfavorable for the Lakers. With the Lakers outplayed, Rondo didn’t play much in a short time and the Lakers lost 18 points in one quarter.
The last quarter became a tug of war for both sides. The Lakers didn’t dare take it lightly. Rondo started with LeBron and led the team together. He helped Morris to a layup and then did a mid-range emergency stop jump. In the second half, he stayed on the court to control the game. At 6 minutes and 15 seconds, he helped Green and hit a triple key. Since then, the Lakers haven’t given the Rockets a chance.
By the last 1:05, LeBron saw that he had a hole and passed the ball to him, and did not hesitate to jump and hit the two key points again. Although LeBron is the best player on the team, Rondo’s contribution on the court should not be ignored.
