The NBA regular season continues, with the Lakers playing against the Clippers. The game attracted the attention of a large number of fans, not only because it was a Los Angeles derby, but more importantly, the two sides were too close in rank. Before the game, the Clippers ranked 8th in the West and the Lakers ranked 9th in the West, which is a key battle for both sides to "only win and not lose"!
After four intense and exciting games, the Clippers finally beat the Lakers by a score of 111-110, and while winning the game, the Clippers once again opened up the winning gap with the Lakers. 1 point of defeat! The Lakers were killed by the Clippers and temporarily ranked 9th in the West, how to win the championship in such a downturn?
It is worth mentioning that the Lakers and the Clippers have had 2 showdowns this season, including this game, the Lakers have been killed by the Clippers. Coupled with the Clippers' dual-core small card and George are in a state of absence due to injury, but the Lakers still failed to win the game, which also made the Lakers be pushed to the cusp of public opinion.
After losing the Clippers by one point, the Lakers are temporarily ranked 9th in the West. As a team aiming for the championship, the Lakers' performance this season is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and the regular season has played a 2/3 schedule, but the Lakers still have not found the rhythm.
It should be known that the Lakers also specially introduced Wei Shao in the offseason, which also allowed the Lakers to form a combination of James + thick eyebrows + Wei Shao, but the Lakers' record is still hovering on the edge of the playoffs, such a situation is indeed unexpected by fans.
Just as the so-called "roof leak is in the overnight rain", the situation of the Lakers is not optimistic, but in this Los Angeles derby, Anthony was injured again. In the second quarter of the game, Anthony hit the ground and strained his right hamstring, after which Anthony limped back to the locker room, and his statistics for the game were fixed at 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
Relative to Anthony's situation, another Lakers player, Munch, was surprised. In this game, Munch had 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while seven assists was a season high. It is a pity that Munch still failed to help the team win the game, which is indeed a pity.
Now that the Lakers have been killed by the Clippers, it has become a fact, and the win gap between the Lakers and the Clippers has also changed from 0.5 wins behind before the game to 1.5 wins behind, and the Lakers' record of 25 wins and 27 losses is temporarily ranked 9th in the West, which is obviously not expected. It is expected that the Lakers can make adjustments as soon as possible and strive to return to the top 8 in the West.
After all, the premise of impacting the championship is that the team needs to get a playoff ticket, if you can't even get the playoff qualification, how can you talk about winning the NBA championship? As for how the Lakers will behave next, let's wait and see!
