First, the Lakers signed 2 tough players in a row
The Lakers have not been in good condition recently, they have suffered 4 consecutive defeats, after the absence of thick eyebrows, the Lakers look difficult to win, James has cut 30+ many times, the Lakers still can't win, enough to see that the problems with the team have been very large. It is reported that the Lakers' next schedule is the most difficult in the league, and now they have only a record of 16 wins and 17 losses, and whether the Lakers can enter the playoffs is very hanging.
The Lakers' Davis continues to be absent, and it is estimated that it will take at least another month to come back. And The Lakers' general manager Pelinka also acted, and can not sit still. It is reported that the Lakers have signed two tough players in a row, both of which are very strong, and they will help James rush to the championship. According to official reports, the Lakers have signed Collison and Stanley Johnson with difficult exceptions, which is a short 10-day contract.
Collison is a big name, once an excellent guard in the NBA, averaging 12.5 points and 5 assists per game in his career, and Collison is only 32 years old this year, still in the year of playing, if he can return to the peak level, the Lakers will make a lot of money. Stanley Johnson in the NBA playing, can average 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, is a qualified rotation player, the Lakers this time signed these two tough players, the strength of the bench has been significantly improved.
Second, Leonard regained his speed and had begun training
After leonard of the Clippers was injured, throughout the 21-22 season, Leonard has not played a game, and George single-handedly led the team, the performance is very good, George also proved himself, he is definitely a superstar in the league. The Clippers are currently fifth in the West with a 17-15 loss, a bit better than the Lakers, and look like they have a lot of hope of making the playoffs.
The playoffs will start around May next year, Leonard has four months to go to recover, and if all goes well, he could have made a comeback this season to help the Clippers hit the championship. According to the Clippers' official training photos of Xiao ka, he can already do some intense training, but xiao Ka's hairstyle is very similar to that of former teammate Beverley. Because the Lakers are in a slump, and the Warriors are not a perfect team, the Western Conference is in chaos, and the Clippers have a chance to win in chaos.
If Leonard makes a comeback during the playoffs, the Clippers have a chance to compete for the championship, as long as the small card returns to about 90% level, the Clippers are very strong, not afraid of the Warriors, the Suns and other top teams. The Clippers have lost the championship over the past two seasons, and the 21-22 season looks like a chance for the Clippers to win the championship. Perhaps, the Clippers have a better chance than the Lakers to win the title, and if the Clippers do reach the top next June, it will sensationalize the whole league.
Three, Harden changed his hairstyle for the Christmas war
Tomorrow, the Nets and Lakers' Christmas battle is highly anticipated, which is the most watched focus battle. However, the two superstars, Durant and Thick Eyebrow, are determined to miss the game. Harden vs James, it is also very interesting, it is worth mentioning that James is about to become the first person in history. According to statistics, James currently has 383 points in the Christmas war, which is only 12 points away from Bryant's 395 points. That is to say, as long as James scores 13 points tomorrow, he can surpass Bryant and be at the top of history alone, which does not seem to have any difficulty.
And the Nets' Harden also attaches great importance to this game, according to teammate Mills, Harden also made a new hairstyle in order to fight for Christmas. "Harden re-braided his hair a bit and he was ready for the game."
During durant and Harden's absence, Mills has been very good, and it is very wise for the Nets to sign him, and Mills is already the fourth big man of the Nets. The Nets are improving, Durant is almost close to a comeback, and Irving is expected to officially play in the away game in January, and the core lineup of Durant + Harden + Irving + Mills + Aldridge will make the Nets the biggest favorite to compete for the title.
