The Lakers lost miserably to the Nuggets on Jan. 16. The Nuggets have actually performed average this season, because Murray and Porter Jr. have been in injury for a long time, so they have not even entered the top four in the West. But just as all teams with a bad time can take advantage of the latter's flawed defense to eat dumplings, the Nuggets also find joy in this dialogue. Jokic even clocked in advance, and before punching, he held three doubles, which was simply playing health basketball. On the Lakers side, James did not continue the scoring champions, first-team, MVP and first-man performances of the past dozen games, but also played close to the personal average, with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Lakers' winning percentage is once again less than 50%, ranking seventh in the West, and the gap with the Sixth Nuggets is widening. If they want to compete with the Lone Rangers and Nuggets for a top six fixed spot, they still need to perform better. Not only to stabilize the offense, but also to improve the defense. James' performance goes without saying, but Westbrook needs to play at the highest salary level in his team, and Davis can also cushion the pressure on James after his return, but he is not so quick to return.
There are many problems with the Lakers, some of which are objective factors, such as the top three in the league in terms of schedule difficulty, second only to the Bucks and Knicks. The Lakers' schedule with the top four in the East and West is as follows: 2 against the Suns, 3 against the Warriors, 3 against the Jazz, and each with the Nets, Heat and Bucks. This is also the reason why the Lakers did not grasp the more relaxed schedule in front of them, which should have been used to run into opportunities, but because of injuries and lineups, there is no matching effect, wasting opportunities, resulting in their current difficult situation and challenges.
The loss to the Nuggets left James feeling depressed, so he didn't give an interview. But life still has to go on, as the second in history and the first person in the league, James has never been afraid of difficulties, and has always faced difficulties. After the game, James returned home, relaxed a bit, and began to think rationally about how he needed to take the Lakers out of the predicament and compete for the next championship.
The way James relaxed, he also posted on social media, is to watch the game, to watch the NFL. On January 17, James tweeted about his life. As usual, he drank his favorite red wine and watched his favorite rugby game, and in front of the TV set were the four championship trophies that made him realize his dreams.
In addition, James also promised Lakers fans: I promise the Lakers will get better! He first apologized to the Lakers fans, and then promised: I apologize, I promise we will get better! James' own performance is no problem, he has averaged 36.7 minutes in 31 games so far this season, 28.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks. James has been consistent and efficient in every game since 2003, and there has never been a situation like Curry and Harden pulling his crotch for more than a month. But this is also the difficulty of the Lakers getting better, if James is okay but the Lakers are bad, then it is particularly troublesome to solve.
