In an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Celtics beat the Timberwolves 134-112, and they naturally ascended to the top spot in the East with a record of 47 wins and 28 losses due to successive losses to the Heat, Bucks and Philadelphia.
According to statistics, Tatum, the core of the Green Army, averaged 33.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in March, shooting 53.9% and a total net win value of 209.
On the other hand, the Lakers were defeated 108-116 by potential playoff opponents, the Pelicans, and even though James scored 39 points on 14-of-27 shooting and surpassed 37,000 career points, it could not bring a valuable victory to the team.
According to this trend, even if Davis can return from injury, the Lakers are likely to be overtaken by the spurs in the future schedule, thus losing the qualification for the playoffs and playoffs, which is also the second time that James missed the playoffs after joining the Lakers.
Why compare the current situation of the two teams, Celtics and Lakers? Because they are the two most famous giants in the history of the NBA, the two in the 75 years of the league's history, a total of 34 championship trophies, almost occupying half of the country, the finals "yellow and green war" often become the main theme of the times, pinning on the feelings of a large number of fans.
In the 60s, Russell's Celtics met the Lakers many times in the Finals, the latter has Jerry West and Elgin Baylor two superstars, unfortunately, the Lakers ended with a total defeat, West even got the only FMVP in history from the loser, the Green Army's 8 consecutive championships, is still one of the league's most difficult historical records.
In the 80s, the Green Army and the Lakers cultivated two superstars, Larry Bird and "Magic" Johnson, who had won and lost in the Finals many times, the former won 3 championships, the latter won 5 championships, creating the classic Showtime dynasty, and the "Magic Bird Battle" also brought the NBA to the first glorious era.
20 years later, the "yellow-green war" was staged again, Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce formed the original big three in Boston, and Kobe Bryant's Lakers met twice in the Finals in three years, in 2008 the Celtics had the upper hand, and in 2010, due to Garnett's injury-affected state decline, the Lakers took the opportunity to achieve revenge, which was also the peak of Bryant's career.
Perhaps it is the Celtics' green jersey and the Lakers' purple-gold jersey on the court, whenever the two teams meet in a narrow way, it can always stimulate the adrenaline of fans, since the Lakers won the championship in 2010, both teams have entered a period of silence, until James came to Los Angeles and traded to thick eyebrows, only to lead the Lakers back to the ranks of the strongest teams, but at this time the Green Army has not yet become a weapon.
Unexpectedly, the peak of the Lakers was so short, four years, only 2020 seized the opportunity to win the championship, the rest of the time hovered on the edge of the playoffs, this season is reduced to a quasi-fish belly, almost everyone is deceived.
Now the young people of the Celtics have finally made a leap-forward breakthrough, Tatum and Brown's pair of "double probe flower" combination is almost unstoppable, their peak and the Lakers missed perfectly, James has no ability to single-core lead the team to the finals, perhaps when the Lakers re-establish a set of championship-winning lineups around the thick eyebrows, the "yellow-green war" will repeat itself?
