Everyone also saw that after the All-Star Game, the Lakers had a wave of 2-6 records, and the only two wins, LeBron James scored 56 points and 5 points respectively.
The problem? Does the current Lakers really have to drive leBron at full power and cut 5 points in a single game to win? at
After being hit to trash time by the Top Suns in the West in the first quarter again today, we may have to admit: Yes, only James scored 5+, and the Lakers could barely win.
Before today's Lakers and Suns game, Thick Brow was interviewed, and when asked if his groin injury in last year's playoffs was the main reason the Lakers failed to beat the Suns, Davis said: "Yes. We know that, and they know that they escaped. ”
Suns fans have come up with the famous scene of last year's playoffs: when James backplayed Crowder, Drummond was like a substitute, and it is worth mentioning that since then, the Lakers have never beaten the Suns.
In games five and six of the first round of the playoffs last year, the Lakers lost to the Suns by 36 points and 29 points, respectively. In their first two meetings this season, the Lakers lost 32 points and 22 points, respectively.
Yes, I saw one beating at a time, and it was the kind of beating tied to a tree and watered with cold water.
Today is the same, compared to the league's first Suns, the Lakers with a winning percentage of less than 50% are not a grade team at all. Davis's words in the interview, although it is a confident statement to the team, it is inevitable that other fans will laugh: How? Still being the defending champion? Wake up, times have changed.
Suns bench point guard Cameron Payne had previously rushed to a Lakers fan chat room during his recovery and shouted: The Lakers are the worst team in the West. Being so mocked by a bench player, can the Lakers cheer up a little morale and take advantage of Chris Paul's injury to play a morale-boosting game?
None of this happened. The Suns turned the game into garbage time in just one section, allowing Chinese Lakers fans on the other side of the Pacific to work with peace of mind.
In the first quarter, 48-22, the Suns scored in double figures with a 7-man shooting rate of 56.9%, and easily beat the Lakers 140-111. During the game, because it was too boring, jefferson, the host of the scene, and another host talked about each other's suits for 5 minutes, and Teacher Guan and I also wanted to talk along.
For the Lakers, the only bright spot in the game is James.
LeBron gave Anthony an assist in the second quarter, achieving a career 10,000 assists, and thus becoming the only player in NBA history to have 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists. After the game, James took the ball and signed his name and date on the ball as a souvenir.
After losing to the Suns, the Lakers' record has reached 29 wins and 38 losses, and if it were not for the playoffs, the Lakers would have been ready to go fishing in previous years. It's just that now the Lakers, the ninth record in the West, how far can they go in the playoffs? Sorry, almost forgot the play-offs.
After the All-Star Game, the Clippers won 6-3, the Timberwolves lost 8-2, the Pelicans won 5-4, which were all struggling to rush the playoffs, the Lakers were swept by the Clippers this season, losing to the Pelicans by 28 points, and playing the Timberwolves was also barely winning when Don Russell was not there. Really playing a play-off game that is decided to win or lose, the Lakers are afraid that they are also fierce.
Lakers fans posted a meme on the Internet describing the team's current situation: under a dilapidated house, there is a luxurious Bugatti Veyron parked. I have to say that it is very image-appropriate.
This season, James can still deliver the luxurious data of averaging 29.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, 52.1% + 35.8% shooting rate. A 37-year-old veteran in the 19th year of his career, he averaged first in the league in points per game, scored in the top three in the league in the penalty area, and could not only rush to the box, but also ranked second in the league with an average of 2.9 three-point shots per game. While dominance and the ability to tackle tough problems in key moments, as well as the defensive problems that have been complained about the most this season, are indeed not as brave as they used to be, you can't ask the 37-year-old to do more.
Wei Shao was indeed completely lost, and in the nine games after the All-Star Game, Westbrook averaged only 16.4 points and 4.4 assists per game, shooting 9.1% from three-point range. In the game of hard-won victory over the Wizards, James slashed 5 points, he scored only 5 points on 2-of-11 shooting, and was ridiculed by the Lakers media: James and Westbrook jointly scored 55 points to lead the team to victory.
A group of low-salary players are doomed to be unable to pick up the beams, and the Lakers can't pull down their faces to completely mess up when there is James, so this season can only make Lakers fans feel more and more confused: they think the Lakers may have to rebuild, but the management feels that Davis can come back and rush to the championship.
Perhaps Chong Guan, like the Big Three, is just a ticket-selling gimmick for lakers management. Old Zhan still has his own 411 project to be completed, which gives him plenty of motivation to play.
But what motivation does the Lakers have?
Teacher Guan said that the Lakers' performance today will make many old Lakers fans ashamed to admit that they are Lakers fans, and I want to say: If the Lakers have been such a performance, they really don't look at it.
PS: the game lost life has to continue, the other day's "never leave" but also many friends have received, gave a very high evaluation, really thank you brothers for support, to be honest because the specifications of this set of books are indeed relatively high, the pricing is not low, brothers really like to place orders, do not blindly support Ha.
I must say that there are many books that have written Kobe Bryant, and there may be those who have written better than mine, and I can only guarantee one thing: all the Chinese who write Kobe Bryant will not have my NBA experience and professionalism, and it is impossible to get so close to the people in the book as close as I am. So, like the NBA, like the Lakers, like Kobe's friends, all the other books about Kobe I recommend you to buy and read, but I suggest that you can collect a book, for the boss, but also for our common youth and feelings.
