In a previously concluded game, the Lakers rushed to the road to challenge the Eagles. In the first half of the game, the Lakers played well, always holding the initiative on the court and extending the lead to nearly double digits. In the third quarter, the Lakers can also barely suppress the Eagles, and the two sides are very anxious. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers suddenly muted, and the Eagles took the opportunity to soar, and the Eagles won the Lakers by 18 points in a single quarter. In the end, the Lakers lost the game by a score of 121-129 on the road. Counting the losses in this game, the Lakers suffered three consecutive losses.
After three consecutive losses, the Lakers ushered in two bad news, which made the hearts of Lakers fans more anxious. The first piece of bad news, the Lakers' record has been thrown away again. After losing the game against the Hawks, the Lakers' record reached 24-27, which is enough to keep them in ninth place in the West, but the gap between them and the eighth-place Timberwolves has reached 1.5 wins. If the Lakers continue to rank in this position, then the team will not have any advantage in the playoffs. By the way, the Lakers are still 5 wins away from the sixth lone ranger, according to the current Lakers' playing rhythm, the Purple and Gold Legion is most likely unable to get tickets to directly enter the playoffs. If the Lakers can't make the playoffs, then the investment in this season will be wasted, and James wasted another season.
The second piece of bad news is that when James will return is still unknown. The Lakers suffered three consecutive losses, one of the main reasons was that James was injured and missed three consecutive games. James' absence was due to swelling of his left knee. It is reported that James returned to Los Angeles early before the Lakers' game with the Hawks and began treatment. Not long ago, Vogel said that James's left knee swelling has not been eliminated, and as long as James's left knee swelling is not eliminated, then he cannot come back. In other words, when James will return is unknown. If James can't come back, then the Lakers' record may be difficult to improve.
James is too hard! This season, he insisted on playing many games, and the slight injury could not be in the line of fire, this time he had no way, so he missed the game. Previously, when James learned that he could not play, he even posted to express his frustration. It stands to reason that even if James can't play in the regular season, his teammates should be able to win, after all, the team's lineup is not bad, but the performance of his teammates has disappointed him. It turns out that the Lakers are still inseparable from James.
Don't know what's going on, the Lakers can't get over the hurdle in front of them. If that continues, the team should think about what they're going to do next season!
