50 points, relying on James'snother magical play, the Lakers defeated the Wizards of kuzma, Pop and other Lakers' old generals, ending their 2-game losing streak.
However, although the Wizards won, the Lakers are still ranked 9th in the West, and the difference between the win and loss with the Clippers is as many as 4.5 games, and the opportunity to move up is almost gone, and as far as the combat effectiveness they are showing now, in the case of the second half of the playoffs, it is hopeless to enter the playoffs.
Why did the Lakers fall to this point? There are many reasons, the inaction of the coaching staff, the mistake of the team to choose players, the team lineup is too old, too slow, the offensive end is not fast, there is no threat of killing; the defensive end is full of loopholes, the team is a group of bosses, really not good.
Of course, in addition to these reasons, there is also a key point that the Lakers are difficult to even enter the playoffs, that is, the thick eyebrow brother is injured.
Even if Wei Shao and the team's tactics are not compatible, the Lakers lineup is too old, the defensive end is full of loopholes, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in the case of Having James, Thick Eyebrows, and Wei Shao, the Lakers still have a certain combat strength, and other dare not say that it is not too difficult to take a position of the top 6 or so in the West, but the injury of the Thick Brow has caused the Lakers to fall to the bottom.
Thick eyebrow brother has played 37 games for the Lakers this season, although affected by injuries, the performance has been greatly reduced, but the average per game still got 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.3 blocks, is the most comprehensive big forward in the NBA, and is also the big gate on the Lakers' defensive end, guarding the Lakers' last restricted area.
In the 37 games in which the thick eyebrow brother played, the Lakers' record was not very good, but it was not bad, at least maintaining a winning rate of more than 50%, but because of the thick eyebrow injury, the Lakers lost the strongest Carry point, the team's performance continued to decline, the record was reduced to 28 wins and 38 losses, and it was difficult to enter the playoffs.
Thick eyebrows hurt too much, so that the Lakers performance plummeted, in fact, more than this season, the attributes of thick eyebrow glass people, early on.
When pelicans are in, thick eyebrows are easily injured, which makes it impossible for pelicans to make a breakthrough! After coming to the Lakers, Brother Thick Brow was also plagued by injuries! In the Lakers' first season, thick eyebrows were better, only 9 games were truncated, which allowed the Lakers to win the No. 1 in the West and eventually win the championship.
But then in the 2020-2021 season, the thick eyebrow injury hazard broke out, missing a full 37 games, the team only entered the playoffs through the playoffs, and when it took a 2:1 lead with the Suns series, it was the thick eyebrow injury that allowed the Lakers to be pulled by the Suns for 3 consecutive games and finally out of the first round.
This season is also not good, the current thick eyebrow brother has been suspended 29 games due to injury, and his recovery from injury is still unclear, it is likely to miss more than 15 games, that is to say, this season thick eyebrow may not even play 1 half of the game, the contribution to the team is limited, but also delayed the progress of the team.
Joined the Lakers for 3 years, the current thick eyebrow has been truncated for 75 games, and the thick eyebrow has just ushered in its 29th birthday, what does this mean? In the most peak taxi period of Brother Thick Brow, he became a glass man, and the situation was getting worse, and when he got older, presumably the injuries would be more serious, the injuries would be more frequent, even though his strength was unmatched, but his future, no one could guarantee.
3 years off 75 games, 29 years old injury- and disease-ridden, thick eyebrows at the peak, career is full of haze, and he, can not become the future of the Lakers.
The Lakers originally made a bloody bet in order to get the thick eyebrows, and traded the Warblers, Ball, and Hart, which is a big gamble on the thick eyebrows! One is to bet that he will cooperate with James to help the team reach the top, and the other is to become the new helmsman of the Lakers after James leaves or retires, leading the team forward, but unfortunately, this illusion may be shattered.
The Lakers' first idea can be said to have come true, although they failed to establish a dynasty, but at least they won a championship, but the brilliant time was very short! And the second, the future that the Lakers are asking for, is basically impossible.
Next season, even if the team lineup remains healthy, but due to the presence of Westbrook, the Lakers will not make too many changes, there may be progress, but where can they go? There is no small gap with the overall champion! And as he gets older, the attributes of the thick-browed glass man will become more serious, and he has difficulty becoming the future of the Lakers.
