In an NBA game that ended earlier, the Lakers met the digital team. The outcome of this game was almost conclusive before the game, because the strength of the Lakers is not as good as the digital team. Coupled with james' absence due to injury, the team's winning side is even smaller. However, the Entire Lakers played quite well, and even found the opportunity to equalize the score at the end. In the end, the Lakers lost the game by 5 points. After the game, the Lakers have ushered in two pieces of news, one is good news, the other is bad news.
What is the good news? Westbrook and Howard can live side by side, and the power of their stacking is very great! In the game, Wei Shao continued his previous excellent performance, and if it were not for a few mistakes, his performance would be close to perfect. It is worth mentioning that in the final stage of chasing, Wei Shao continued to cut points, and also sent a crisp and clean steal. Obviously, Wei Shao is no longer the wei shao he used to be, he has regained his self-confidence and is slowly finding a state. Howard hit 9 of 14 shots in 28 minutes, cut 24 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and performed greatly. Seeing such an old magic beast, is Vogel still insisting on himself? Howard deserves to be reused!
What's the bad news? The Lakers' rankings have been squeezed down one place again, and the team below will face a very difficult schedule. Although the Lakers didn't have a game this past day, their rankings have also changed. As the Pelicans won the game, they rose to 9th in the West and the Lakers became 10th in the West. In addition, the 11th-place Spurs in the West are only 2 wins away from the Lakers. Next, the Lakers have to face the Pelicans, Lone Rangers, Jazz, Pelicans, Nuggets, Suns, Warriors, and Thunder in turn. As you can see, the Lakers' schedule is quite tough. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Lakers to keep a place in the playoffs.
In the face of these two messages, what the Lakers have to do is to do their best to keep the playoffs in places, only in this way can the team have something to do in the playoffs, otherwise they can only say goodbye to the playoffs. As the big brother of the team, what should James do? There is no more rest, you have to come back quickly, even if the injury is not complete, you must continue to fight. Missed this season, the Lakers do not know how long to wait?
All in all, the Lakers' situation is very embarrassing and dangerous. A little carelessness really has to be a laughing stock again. Come on!
