On February 9, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's focus battle, the Lakers lost to the Bucks 116-131 at home. They were all at a disadvantage from the start of the game, trailing by as many as 30 points at most, and although they struggled to chase points in the final quarter, they still had difficulty recovering the defeat.
After losing today, the Lakers' record has become 26-29, continuing to rank 9th in the West, half a win behind the 8th-place Clippers and 4.5 wins behind the Nuggets, who are 6th in the West, and whether they can make the playoffs has become a problem. As the big favorite team at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' current performance is far from expectations.
However, the Lakers' hard days have not yet fully arrived. According to the schedule, in the next 27 games, the Lakers will face the Warriors, the Second In the West, twice, the Suns, who are the first in the league, in addition, they will also face the top 6 teams in the West such as the Jazz, The Lone Rangers, and the Nuggets.
It has to be said that for this Lakers team, the prospects are too bleak. At the end of today's game, Westbrook comforted James and Davis, who, according to him, wanted to be able to help them, but he couldn't do it because he wasn't on the court.
James also expressed the Lakers' need to support each other's attitude, he said: "I want to help Davis, I want to help Wei Shao, Davis also wants to help Wei Shao, Wei Shao also wants to help us." Wei Shao felt that he did not give us the help he hoped to do, but in fact, we did not do a good enough job of helping him! ”
Anyway, I hope the Lakers can overcome the difficulties as soon as possible. According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Blazers on the road tomorrow.
