On February 28, Beijing time, the NBA ushered in an important game, that is, the Lakers against the Pelicans. Looking at the rankings of the two teams now, the Lakers are ninth in the West with 27 wins and 33 losses, while the Pelicans are 10th in the West with 25 wins and 36 losses. Both teams have a good chance of impacting the playoffs, and it is said that the two teams will definitely use their best to win the game when they meet, but the result of the game seems that every Lakers does not seem to have full faith to win this game that must be won.
At 125-95, the Lakers suffered a fiasco at home, and at Staples Arena even remembered booing of the home team, which was still given to their star James. This is very rare at home for the Lakers. This game lakers' double stars James and Westbrook can be said to have jointly staged one of the most embarrassing games of the season.
Where is the embarrassment, the next slow analysis. James had 32 points, six rebounds, three assists and seven turnovers in the game, and those 32 points were exchanged for 25 shots, and Embiid, the 76ers next door, scored 37 points but only shot 18 times, and James's plus-minus was the second lowest on the team to reach -20. The lowest plus-minus value of the whole team is the Lakers' other 75 player Westbrook, Westbrook's performance this season can be described as constipation, and this game can be said to be a microcosm of Westbrook's performance this season. In this game, Wei Shao only got 16 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 7 mistakes, and the number of mistakes seemed to be discussed with Lao Zhan, leaving aside the mistakes, the most important thing was Wei Shao's assists in this game.
Wei Shao, who used to have triple-doubles, has not been able to find back in the Lakers, and a single assist has also refreshed a new career low. James and Westbrook, the two superstars, have such performances, and it is impossible for the Lakers to win. After the end of this game, the only thing lakers can do is to look forward to the early return of thick eyebrows, offense can not score, defense can not be defended, such a Lakers is difficult to satisfy. Even some Lakers fans put their attitude towards the national football team on this Lakers, that is, don't fight, disband in situ!
In addition, can the Lakers' starting set be changed, really can not find any reason for these 5 people to play the start, Bradley, Munch, Tucker is so overwhelmed? Do you have to start with Rivers and Ariza? What do you think?
