On March 9, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced that LeBron James had doubts about playing against the Rockets because of the sore left knee. He has missed the game against the Spurs because of a sore left knee, and the Lakers lost to the Spurs 110-117.
Sports medicine expert Evan Jeffries analyzed that the tricky part of LeBron's left knee problem is that after the All-Star Weekend, his strength/jump have declined, except for the game against the Warriors. His "soreness" worsened against the Warriors, and it's no surprise that he missed multiple games.
Facing the Western Team Leader + League Vice Squad Leader Rocket, the probability of the Lakers winning is only 48%, and the Probability of the Rockets with a record of 16 wins and 49 losses is higher than that of the Lakers. Who is this burying? Was my big turtle lying down and shot again?
The Lakers beat the Rockets in the three previous meetings this season, but there was LeBron James in those three games, is it true that the Lakers can't win without LeBron?
Westbrook faced the Rockets three times, scoring 24 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 7 turnovers in one game of 17 + 2 of 2 three-pointers; 9 of 22 in one game, 2 of 4 of three points, 22 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers; 10 of 21 in one game, 4 of 3 points, 27 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers. From the data, Wei Shao's performance in playing the rocket is still good, but the US media may have considered the recent psychological state of Wei Shao, and his pressure is too large is likely to affect the competitive state.
Unexpectedly, the 37-year-old LeBron still has to carry a team, he scored 50 points + for the first time at the age of 20 and 80 days, and then 50+ at the age of 37 and 65 days, this period of time is 16 years, 11 months and 13 days, LeBron's peak is too long.
And LeBron has also become the first player to score 50+ in three eras after Jordan, Jordan is 80S, 90S, 00S, James is 00S, 10S, 20S. The two are worthy of the top two superstars in league history, and the 37-year-old LeBron, who averaged 29.4 points per game, also has the hope of hitting the top scorer.
I don't know how much James consumed against the Warriors, but his left knee injury has not healed, and if he really has to stop multiple games, the ninth place in the Lakers West will be difficult to keep.
