The Lakers' situation has been a bit sluggish recently, and James has not changed the situation since his return, and the last fiasco against the defending champion Bucks is still a big blow to the team. And in today's back-to-back game against the Blazers, the Lakers suffered bad news again, Westbrook was absent due to injury, and the team was forced to change the team again.
The Lakers updated the injury report again before the game, James and Howard can play today, and Westbrook is absent because of nervous lower back. This absence is not the arrival of the trade deadline, Wei Shao is really injured, and the last game was a little uncomfortable. This is also the first time that Westbrook has missed a game this season, so far no one in the Lakers has maintained full attendance, and Nunn has not played a single regular season game. Don't look at wei shao's state when it is good or bad, but his attitude towards the game is really nothing to say, slight injuries can not be in the line of fire, as long as he can play, he will definitely do his best.
The Lakers were forced to make adjustments due to Westbrook's absence, and Vogel once again brought James back to point guard, with the other four being Munch, Bradley, Ariza and Davis. The Blazers' starting lineup is: Ellerby, Winslow, Nurkic, McLemo, Anfine Simmons.
This is also the Lakers' 28th starting lineup this season, and Vogel is also helpless, "It's really just about winning, we can't use 20 games to see if this lineup will work, we've been fighting injuries, we've been fighting the new crown, but more importantly, we've been fighting the defeat." ”
This time against the Blazers is also an opportunity for the Lakers, the opponent has just completed a big deal, the manpower is insufficient, Lillard can not play, or there is still a chance to win the game. As for winning the game, you must not aim the spearhead at Wei Shao, after all, the opponent's strength is insufficient, and winning is a normal operation.
