On November 21, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers' five-game road trip is still in progress, and they have lost the past two games, but tomorrow's opponents should have no reason to lose, after all, the opponent is the second-to-last Pistons in the East. After losing the game yesterday, Anthony Davis also issued a military order in the interview neutral: "We have 3 games left on our road trip, we need to win all three, this is not negotiable." ”
On the eve of this big war, the Lakers also officially announced the latest issue of the injury list. First, three players were determined not to play tomorrow against the Pistons: Reeves, who had a left hamstring strain, Ariza, who was recovering from a right ankle injury, and Nunn, who had injured his right kneecap. In addition, James's state is still in doubt (50%), while Davis, although he suffered a sprain on his right thumb, still has a high probability of playing (75%).
I believe that most fans are now looking forward to Nunn's early return, to know that he averaged 14.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in the Heat last season, shooting 48.5% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range, and his comeback has greatly improved the depth of the Lakers' lineup. It is worth mentioning that Nunn is also currently the fourth-highest paid player in the Lakers (5 million), second only to the Big Three and Tucker Jr.
After talking about the news inside the venue, let's talk about the off-site. According to recent US media reports, 17-year-old white Kyle Rittenhouse shot in the previous black protest movement in Wisconsin, resulting in two deaths and one injury, but was eventually acquitted, which caused a huge public reaction in the United States for a time.
For this matter, the Nets' home star Kyrie Owen has spoken out publicly many times, and today James also expressed his opinion on the matter on social media: "So, if a 17-year-old black man crosses the state line, arms himself with an illegal gun, provokes a fight and shoots three people, resulting in the death of two of them, the trial is just a situation, he will spend his life in prison." 」 In fact, we all know the ending, he will be sentenced to death. ”
On the other hand, today the Wizards successfully avenged the Heat, with their 11-5 record, and are now tied for second place in the East with the Bulls. And today the Wizards were able to reverse the defeat of the mighty Heat (the biggest difference between the two sides was once 16 points), Pope is definitely the first credit, because he hit three consecutive three-pointers in the final quarter, which helped the team equalize. Then with Kyle Kuzma's crucial 4 free throws, the Wizards won the game without any chance.
In the post-game interview, the media also deliberately provoked trouble, and a reporter asked such a question: "You played a very good season, and the Lakers who traded you are now very bad, are you very happy about this?" As soon as the words fell out, there was a burst of laughter, and then Pope responded: "I am satisfied with where I am now, I have not been frustrated by being traded since the beginning." Bill has always been a good friend of mine and we've been talking about playing together, so being traded is no big deal for me. I'm from a championship team and it's time to look ahead. ”
