The Lakers lost again, and in the game against the Wizards, the Lakers took the lead in the first three quarters, but in the final quarter the team suddenly muted, they missed consecutive shots, and they could not limit Porzingis' play on the defensive end. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Wizards 119-127 on the road, and they did not win consecutively, and for 71 days, the Lakers did not win consecutively, and the performance was very bad.
James played a superstar performance again in this game, he played 36 minutes, 16 of 29 shots with 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and his personal performance was very comprehensive, and he helped the team in all aspects. However, it is a pity that James has cut again this time, and the team is not as good as the Wizards in terms of the final competitive status, which also led to the team eventually losing the game.
After losing this game, some media also counted James's personal data in the past 8 games, the data shows that James can average 35.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists in the last 8 games, the performance is very comprehensive, at the age of 37, James still played a superstar-level performance on the court, playing bright enough.
But in the case of James playing a superstar-level performance, the Lakers' record is very unsatisfactory, in the 8 games in which James played, the team only achieved a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and the 3 games won were James' two 50+ points, as well as Westbrook's absolute draw of three points, and the Lakers suffered losses in other games. It can be said that in the past period of time, the performance of the Lakers has been very bad, even if James has played such a brilliant performance, the team's record is also less than the loss, the performance is sluggish.
I believe everyone knows that after the All-Star Weekend, James will also make adjustments in form, he will be more focused on the game, and play harder on the court. James this season has not disappointed, since the All-Star Weekend, James opened his own crazy performance, in the face of the Warriors, James got 56 + 10 + 3 data in a single game, and then against the Wizards, James also has 50 + 7 + 6 data, and in the game against the Raptors, James handed over 36 + 9 + 7 data, the performance can be described as very good, compared to the beginning of the season, James's competitive state has been very obviously improved, his performance is better.
However, it is a pity that James is in a brave state, he can not change the status quo of the Lakers, after James has played such a performance, the Lakers are still only ranked 9th in the West, and the team's play-off seats are not stable enough. For now, it turns out that the problems that the Lakers are currently experiencing are not something that James alone can solve, and in the past he may have been able to, but it is difficult for James to do so this season.
The Lakers have many problems, such as injuries, poor running-in, employment adjustments, unclear tactics and defense efforts, etc., which need to be solved by the team together, and James's excellent performance cannot change the team. According to the current state of the Lakers, their playoff prospects this season are not optimistic, even if they stand out in the playoffs, then in the first round, they may be eliminated
