On February 26, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers will usher in their first game after the All-Star Weekend - home against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the 9 games before The All-Star Weekend, the Lakers lost a full 7 games, and now that the war is reignited, whether they can get out of the slump has attracted much attention.
The game has not yet started, the Lakers side took the lead in ushering in a good news, according to US media reports, Lakers head coach Vogel revealed after Thursday's training in local time that after a period of absence due to injury, forward Anthony is expected to usher in a comeback in tomorrow's game against the Clippers, while another outside shooter Bradley will continue to be absent.
As a favorite to win the championship at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' performance this season has been disappointing. With only 27 wins and 31 losses so far, they are in ninth place in the West with a win rate of less than 50 percent, and with just over 20 games left in the regular season, it is almost impossible for them to escape the fate of the playoffs, but if they can reach the top eight at the end of the regular season, then they will gain an advantage in the playoffs.
But the problem is that the team's recent condition is very bad, Nunn has not played so far, the thick eyebrow brother has to miss at least 4 weeks because of a left knee sprain, Westbrook has been unable to find the ideal state, and Anthony's comeback is quite a bit of a charcoal.
As a 10-time All-Star forward, Anthony joined the Lakers last summer with a base salary, and in 50 games this season, he averaged 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 39.2% from three-point range, and averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game. Not only is he a reliable outside shooter, but he also has a wealth of offensive means, and Anthony's comeback is expected to ease the pressure on James in the case of other teammates who are unable to find their form.
