Beijing time on February 9, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers lost to the Bucks at home with 116 forcing 131, after losing this game, the Lakers were extremely frustrated, according to ESPN Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin, the Lakers locker room personnel nervously admitted: the team lineup does not work, in Thursday's trade deadline is approaching, they must take measures to get the team back on track. The Players in the Lakers don't think it's a viable option to stay on the line and want to improve their winning percentage to perform well at the end of the season.
This shows that the Lakers are also very eager to complete the redemption through trades, but considering that the Lakers have limited chips this season, it is still very difficult to make a series of transactions that are really helpful to the team. But no matter what, whether the Lakers can trade or not, they must find a way to change, after losing to the Bucks, Lakers stars James and Davis have spoken successively, and the Lakers must change the decline as soon as possible.
Asked how to turn things around with 27 regular season games left, James said: "Let's care about one game, deal with one game at a time, you can't care about the next 27 games, you need to care about the moment." We have a chance to get better in Portland tomorrow night. We had some good moments tonight against the defending champions, but they had more good moments over the course of 48 minutes. This is evident in technical statistics, in some of the rounds on the pitch. One of the best things about the NBA, though, is that after less than 24 hours, you can redeem yourself and make progress. We have a chance to do that tomorrow night. ”
In James's view, the Lakers must come up with a changed attitude and performance in the next game against the Blazers, re-improve morale, and make the final sprint for the season. In Thick Brow's view, it's not enough to just win, and they shouldn't have lost again until All-Star Weekend arrives.
Thick Eyebrows said bluntly in the interview: "We need to play more energy at the beginning. No one has mercy on us, we need to fight for ourselves. We had three games before All-Star Weekend and we had to try to make a 3-0 and make us feel good when we got into the All-Star. Except for him (LeBron James by his side), everyone gets a little break to clear their minds, get a little away from the game, and then enter the second half of the season with a little more energy. ”
Obviously, Thick Brow and James already have a strong sense of crisis and urgency, and they still have no intention of giving up this season, but it must be admitted that if the existing lineup is not adjusted, the Lakers may be difficult to play in the playoffs this season, let alone compete for the championship. Asked how much the lineup instability affected the team's performance, James said: "At the end of the day, you still have to play to do your XX job. No matter what lineup you're on the pitch, you still have to play to get your job done, and you still have to solve the problem. But we're all trying to solve problems, including the coaching staff. ”
At present, the key factor that determines the results of the Lakers this season is whether Wei Shao can finally be traded, the trading deadline of this season will end at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 11, leaving the Lakers time is really not much, and from the various news between them, as well as the speech between James and Thick Brow now, Wei Shao may really enter the countdown to leave the team, and even do not rule out that the Lakers will have to send him away at a loss, because now Wei Shao's problem is not only the poor performance on the court, He has actually seriously affected the mood of the Lakers locker room, and if a team has problems in the locker room, then the season is complete.
