Although in the last game against the missing major generals of the Nets to win, but this is not worth the lakers who aspire to impact the championship, today they continue their eastern road trip, the opponent is the recent momentum of the Philadelphia 76ers, and before the game James because of the knee pain and so chose to watch the wall, which also made the Lakers' big three once again lose the opportunity to fit together, and finally the Purple and Gold Army swallowed the loss 87-105, the winning rate once again fell below 50%, currently with a record of 24 wins and 25 losses temporarily ranked ninth in the West, Just in the last seat of the playoffs. James is absent, and the thick eyebrows that have just returned carry the team's offensive and defensive banners.
This campaign thick eyebrows started 33 minutes, 14 of 21 shots, 31 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 blocks, filled his own data column, although he once left the field due to a wrist injury, but he was slightly injured and did not fall into the line of fire, he still chose to return to the field with an injury. Although it did not help the team win in the end, at least in this confrontation with Embiid, Thick Brow still proved that he was the top interior player in the league (Embiid only had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists).
In fact, this game thick eyebrows helped the Lakers outside the players to get enough shooting space, but today Munch, Bradley, Anthony, Ellington, these main pitchers collectively inaccurate, how to shoot how iron, the four people shot a total of 16 times outside the three-point line, only hit 3 goals, but where these pitchers feel normal, the Lakers will not let the game lose suspense early.
In the second game after the return, thick eyebrows can also be regarded as proving their value with practical actions, and he will also be an important factor that dominates the future trend of the Lakers. Previously, because of his absence, Vogel let the Lakers play the five small lineups, James was forced to top the starting center position, and now with the return of thick eyebrows, the Lakers do not need to let the inside line become the opponent's cash machine when encountering a team like Embiid today.
Next lakers' eastern journey there are still two opponents, namely the Hornets and the Eagles, the Hornets' inside line is not very strong, and it can even be said that it is the level of the league's bottom, as long as it can limit the opponent's outside attack The Lakers still have a good chance to win, and the final game with the Hawks, the opponent's penalty area sits Collins, Capela and Okongu, which is also a perfect time for the thick eyebrow brother to prove himself again. Not surprisingly, the Big Three should be reunited in these two games.
Maybe some fans will say that the Lakers have now fallen to ninth in the Ranking of the West, is there any hope this season? But for the Lakers, the thick eyebrow brother can return to the king, and there is hope this season. The threshold for the Playoffs in the West this season is not high, and although the Lakers rank ninth in the West, they are 0.5 wins away from the seventh Fast Boat in the West and only 4 wins away from the fifth Lone Rangers in the West. On top of that, the Lakers are five wins ahead of the 11th Pelicans in the West, which means that the Lakers can easily get a play-off spot.
And as long as the Lakers remain healthy and the team grinds out a good chemistry, when it comes to the playoffs and playoffs, which team is willing to touch the Lakers?
Last season, the Lakers ranked seventh in the West, and if it were not for the thick eyebrow brother injured in the fourth game in the first round of the playoffs, the final promotion is estimated to be the Lakers. In the first 3 games, the Lakers were 2-1 ahead of the Suns.
Lakers reporter Jovan Buha reported that sources revealed that The thick-browed brother spent a long time in the gym during his recovery, working hard to lose some of the weight he gained in the offseason last year. The return of the thick eyebrow brother to the peak in the second game should be related to the success of weight loss. Thick eyebrow brother returned to the peak, James sword is not old, if Wei Shao can also open the trick in the second half of the season, then who dares to underestimate the Lakers?
