The Lakers have been a season of disasters, they formed a 7-star lineup this summer, which is regarded as the biggest winner of the offseason, but the Lakers have suffered a wave of injuries before the season has begun, which greatly increases the difficulty of the lineup. After 30 games, the Lakers continued to be injured, and people kept coming in and out, Vogel tested more than a dozen starting lineups, and finally determined the small lineup system of thick eyebrows playing the fifth position.
Recently, with James's excellent performance, the Lakers have won a wave of 3 consecutive wins, gradually stabilizing their ranking in the West. Just when people think that the Lakers are on the right track, but the situation has changed, many people on the team have triggered health and safety agreements, the rotation of personnel has become stretched again, and the Lakers have to sign veteran Thomas Jr. to fill the gap in the lineup. Fortunately, Westbrook lifted the restrictions on health and safety agreements today, and the Lakers can still meet the big three!
However, the roof leak was partial to the overnight rain, perhaps the load of playing the No. 5 position for a long time was too high, and in today's game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers' defensive pillar thick eyebrows fell again. Thick eyebrows sprained his right ankle in the first quarter of the game, fell to the ground in pain, and looked back at the slow-motion foot looking very serious. However, because of the tight inside line, the rebounds and penalty area scores in the front court were exploded by the opponent, and the thick eyebrows returned to the court in the second quarter.
The thick eyebrows that came on the scene with injuries were injured again in the third quarter! At that time, James was ready to hand over with thick eyebrows in a high hand, and After James crossed the ball, he pushed McDaniels, who fell out of balance and fell directly to thick eyebrows' legs. Thick eyebrows covered his left knee with a very painful expression, unable to support the game anymore, as an opponent Beverly came to comfort thick eyebrows for the first time.
Thick Brow walked back to the bench alone, and then returned to the locker room with the support of the team doctor, and on the way back to the locker room, Thick Brow seemed unable to keep walking and sat down on the ground again. The injury of the thick eyebrow retreated into a turning point in the game, the Lakers were defeated, the internal line was completely exploded, and the point difference was also pulled to 20 points, and the game lost suspense.
The Lakers rebounded 36-61 Timberwolves in the whole game, including 1-15 Timberwolves rebounds in the front court, and the Lakers scored 32-48 Timberwolves on the inside, in addition, the Lakers were snatched 13 times by opponents, losing very ugly. It is ironic that new signing Thomas Jr. became the highest scoring player in the team.
In this regard, Lakers star James Worthy commented after the game: "You can see from the Performance of the Lakers, they let the opponent grab too much front court, it seems that they did not put all their energy on the court." ”
Compared with the frustration caused by this fiasco, what is even more worrying is the wound of the thick eyebrow, hoping that he did not hurt the cruciate ligament! Speaking about James' injury after the game, James said: "We asked him how he was, he said he wouldn't know until tomorrow, that's all we know. My concern has always been his health and I hope he is all right. ”
Let's wait for the test results of the thick eyebrows, hope that there is no big problem, once the thick eyebrows suffer a major injury, the Lakers may withdraw from the championship race.
