On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA League also ushered in the same city derby of the Lakers and Clippers, and in the end, the Lakers lost to the Clippers in a complete and fiasco, and the Clippers finally defeated the Lakers easily 132:111 in the whole game. In this campaign, Lakers façade star James scored a total of 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 44.4% from the field and 22.2% from three-point range. However, there were also two problems with James in this game, and after the game, it also triggered heated discussion among fans.
The first is that James's game plus-minus is only -27, ranking at the bottom among the Lakers' 5 starting players. Secondly, when the fourth quarter of the game has lost the suspense of winning and losing, James is still staying on the court with 4 substitute players, which is also another cause for the outside world to ridicule James for intentionally "brushing points". Of course, it is actually completely pointless to continue to dwell on these things now, after all, the current situation of the Lakers is really terrible, and whether the team can still step on the playoff stage this season is probably a problem.
In the last 8 NBA regular season games, the Lakers finally won an embarrassing 1-7, and the team is now a 4-game losing streak in the regular season. In addition, with the NBA regular season once again lost to the Clippers, this season the Clippers also completed the face of the Lakers crushing sweep, although the Clippers lost two core super giants this season, but the team remnants are still able to easily hang the Lakers, and the team's record list is also able to smoothly rank in front of the Lakers, and now the Clippers seem to be gradually replacing the Lakers' position in Los Angeles.
To be fair, Now James and Westbrook may not be able to change such an unfavorable situation at all, as for the thick eyebrow brother, it is completely impossible to count on due to injury problems, and other basic salary players are obviously unable to become the thighs of the court in this period. At the same time, coupled with the Lakers' next schedule is also quite difficult, pessimistic predictions that the Lakers this season may be difficult to succeed, even if the final team lucky to be able to break into the Western Playoffs, I am afraid that the final probability is only a playoff round trip. In this regard, what do you think the current Lakers management should do, and can this Western Conference giants still be able to reverse the competition for the championship trophy?
