On December 24, Beijing time, when the Lakers lost miserably at home with a 28-point gap, they swallowed the worst home defeat of the season, which was also the largest loss point difference record against the Spurs in the history of the team, and the last game to send Offspes Arena with a rout. The Lakers frantically lost 138 points of defense, allowing the Lakers to post a photo of no one in the Lakers' interview area, in order to criticize the Purple and Gold Army's unbearable defense.
After the Lakers were injured, they became two giants to lead the team, plus the team still had a number of role players who could not play, and the residual team made them unable to find the chemical reaction, and James also criticized the Lakers after the game.
First, the Lakers conceded 111.5 points per game, the third most in the league.
Only the Lakers are worse than their defense, the Lakers have conceded an average of 111.5 points per game so far this season, becoming the third most points per game in the league. It should be known that the Lakers have averaged 109.8 points per game and ranked 10th in the league, but the average points lost per game are higher than the average scores per game, which is naturally the crux of the Lakers' uneven attack and defense. You know, the Lakers won the championship season in 2020, they are the strongest defensive team in the league, and now their winning magic weapon has been lost.
After the Lakers suffered the longest 4 consecutive losses of the season, their record became 16-17, the winning rate fell below 50%, and the Lakers are currently ranked 6th in the West. It's just that the Lakers and the Lone Rangers and Nuggets behind them have no win difference, and they are only half a win ahead of the Timberwolves, and the 13th place Blazers in the West are only 13 wins and 19 losses, only 2.5 wins behind the Lakers, which is also a reflection of the cruelty of the competition in the West.
Second, the Lakers lost a total of 69 points in their longest four consecutive defeats this season.
In the course of the Lakers' four-game losing streak, they have suffered repeated fiascos, including 3 games with a loss of more than 18 points, followed by 18 points to the Timberwolves, 5 points to the Bulls, 18 points to the Suns, 28 points to the Spurs, and a total of 69 points in 4 games.
After the game, Harrison Faigen, a reporter with the Lakers, posted a photo of the Lakers interview area being "empty", and also wrote, "The next person to come up for an interview is the 'Lakers defense'." There is no doubt that the Lakers' record is criticizing and spitting on the Lakers' poor defense.
The Lakers want to rebound in the next game, improving the defense has become their biggest problem, and the Lakers' year-end battle will be at home against the Nets in the East, which will be a severe test for them.
