Beijing time on January 20, the Lakers regular season home to meet the Eastern Fish Belly Pacers, because the last game the Lakers finally successfully defeated the top 4 Jazz in the West, so this game originally thought that the Lakers can easily win and win, after all, the current Pacers are a really weak team, they seem to be impossible to fight against James, Westbrook the Lakers. Moreover, before this game, the Pacers have lost 4 consecutive games in the regular season, and the team's momentum and lineup strength are obviously not opponents of the Lakers.
However, the final result of the game was quite unexpected, the away Pacers successfully defeated the Lakers 111:104, thus ending their regular season losing streak. In addition, according to the statistics of the regular season record win rate, the last time the Pacers won away in the regular season was November 23, 2021, and the 8 NBA regular season away Pacers have all lost, and now the Pacers have ended their 8-game away losing streak on the Lakers, and the lakers have become a warm team in the NBA league.
So far this season, the Pacers have only won the NBA regular season record of 16 wins and 29 losses, the team ranks third from the bottom in the Eastern Division, and the team's main force has been put on the trading shelf, which is completely a team that has broken up the goal of rebuilding the sign. As a result, whenever a playoff-level team in the league meets the Pacers, it's basically always easy to win the game. I didn't think that such a weak team in the league that was deceitful could now beat the Lakers led by James on the road, which is really quite incredible.
It is worth mentioning that the loss of this game is also to make the internal contradictions of the Lakers completely open, due to dissatisfaction with the state performance of the main star Wei Shao, Lakers coach Vogel chose to abandon Wei Shao in the last moment of the last quarter. In the media interview after the game, when the reporter asked why He did not let Wei Shao play at the last minute, Vogel said directly: "I sent a lineup that I thought I could win. Obviously, Vogel has undoubtedly made a complete showdown to show his attitude, and as for how the Lakers will deal with the coexistence of Vogel and Westbrook next, we will also wait and see!
