On March 4, Beijing time, when the Lakers lost to the Clippers by 21 points, especially the most moments behind the whole game by 30 points, a rout was a natural success. James's Lakers have been swept by the Clippers for two consecutive seasons, and James also admitted after the game that "the Clippers are the better team" and also highlighted the problem of the team losing defense.
As the absolute core figure of the Lakers, James led the Lakers to win the championship again in 10 years in 2020, but last year it was a round of out. The Lakers are currently only in 9th place in the West this season, especially after being swept by the Clippers to complete the season four kills, James also responded to the problem of being swept by the remaining team in the same city after the game, "which shows that they (the Clippers) are the better team."
The Clippers, with a 7-1 record in their last eight games, are firmly in control of a play-off spot and may even hit the top six in the West. The Lakers are hovering in 9th place in the West, and they are chased by the Pelicans and Trail Blazers behind them, and the playoff seats are unstable.
James said of the team's defensive loss, "We are Vogel's team, so defense is what we value the most. Vogel is a defensive coach who has won the championship season at the top of the Lakers defensive league.
James further said, "Defense has been challenging for us this year... We lost a lot of games, mainly because our defense was already vulnerable. ”
As for James' head coach Tyrone Lu when the Cavaliers won the championship, he has maintained a record of 7 wins against the Lakers since he took charge of the Clippers, but he gave James and the Lakers high praise with cool water, "The Lakers lineup is constantly changing, and I know how difficult it is for them." As long as the Lakers have James, the top teams in the West don't want to meet them in the playoffs. ”
