111-140, the Lakers lost to the Suns by 29 points on the road, which was almost a crushing game from beginning to end, and the Lakers did not see a glimmer of hope of winning. And this is the epitome of the Lakers facing the Suns this season, according to statistics, the Suns have won all three times against the Lakers this season, and the three games have led as many as 32 points, 22 points and 35 points respectively, and can win 21.5 points per game.
But more desperate than the fiasco to the Suns, what is more desperate is the state of the Lakers after the All-Star Weekend, in general, most teams will start to work after the All-Star Weekend, at this time, the team that cannot keep up with the rhythm may gradually fall behind, and the Lakers belong to the latter. According to statistics, after the All-Star, the Lakers have only won 2 wins and 7 losses so far. In the 2 winning games, LeBron James scored 50+ points.
This shows that today's Lakers want to win a game, to the point where they can only rely on James's big explosion, which is why NBA commentator Perkins bluntly said after the game that the Lakers are finished, Perkins said: "The Lakers are finished!" There's no point in getting AD back now, it's better to let LeBron (James) compete for the scoring champion, that's it! Continue..."
Perkins's words actually speak to most fans, although thick eyebrows are absent due to injury, but the Lakers should not be so bad, they obviously have James and Wei Shao two giants, but now, they seem to be able to rely on James, because Wei Shao seems to have completely no need to fight, or, from the mentality, Wei Shao has given up this season.
In this game, Wei Shao played 26 minutes, 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers on 5 of 10 shots, which is actually quite good in terms of efficiency, but from the scene point of view, Wei Shao is now playing without fighting spirit and does not show any desire to survive. And this is not the first time that Wei Shao has recently shown such a state, in the last Lakers game against the Wizards, Wei Shao shot only 2 of 11 shots, only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, 2 games totaled 21 shots 7, shooting efficiency is still average, but worse is that Wei Shao is obviously no morale, absent-minded.
Basically at this time, anyone can see that Wei Shao does not want to play a good game, he may want to end this bad season as soon as possible, in fact, although the Lakers have a fiasco in this game, they still have the opportunity to enter the playoffs through the playoffs, at that time, the thick eyebrows will most likely return, and from the latest interview, James and the thick eyebrows are still looking forward to this season, but Wei Shao seems to have different ideas.
Once upon a time, Bryant said in an interview that only Wei Shao in the whole league resembled him the most, referring to Wei Shao's passion and personality of never accepting defeat. Including before James also praised Wei Shao's desire to win is very terrible, no matter what kind of situation will not give up easily, but in this season of the Lakers, Wei Shao seems to have been completely smoothed out and angular, he always somewhat disappointed the expectations of James and Kobe.
Of course, the loss of this game is not a problem of Westbrook, after the game, when it comes to the Performance of the Lakers in this game, head coach Vogel said that the Performance of the Lakers is "unacceptable". Vogel said they didn't focus enough on the defensive end tonight. "We definitely need to do a little better," he said. Our shots were terrible and kept making mistakes. ”
