On March 28, it was very helpless for James, who was reversed by the Pelicans with a 23-point lead, and after the loss of this key card game, the Pelicans also overtook the Lakers. The Lakers fell to tenth place in the West, 0.5 wins behind the Pelicans and one win ahead of the Spurs. Vogel's coaching team still has 8 regular season games, and it is very difficult for them to save the playoffs, the main thing is that James is injured, the thick eyebrow brother has not returned, and the difficulty of the remaining 8 games is the third in the league, so it is not easy for the Lakers to participate in the playoffs.
James has lost many milestone moments this season, turning into a mileage "sad", and the recent zhan huang's new and old clubs have performed poorly, in addition to his current performance of the Lakers is extremely struggling, the play-off qualification is pending, as well as his old club Cavaliers and the Heat have recently encountered difficulties.
As the place where James's dream began, the Cavaliers have performed strongly this season, with Mobley's best rookie almost in the early pocket, but the recent performance of the Cavaliers has been poor, they have suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses, and the team has also given up the top six positions in the East after losing, and is currently one win behind the Raptors. It is worth mentioning that after James left the Cavaliers, the team has never returned to the playoffs, and their performance this season is expected, but unfortunately, this wave of losing streaks in the final stage of the regular season has allowed the Cavaliers to impact the playoffs, and the suspense has re-emerged.
The Heat were once firmly in first place in the East, with a large lead and were considered highly likely to lock in the regular season Eastern Conference championship, but they did not expect that it was the recent four consecutive losses, especially the loss to the Nets, which made them fall from the top position. The 76ers and Celtics have climbed to the top spot in a row, while the Heat, who are 47-28, have underperformed recently. It is worth mentioning that their opponents have core absences, but the strong heat always can't seize the opportunity and regret losing.
Although the new and old owners are in the quagmire, but James's personal performance is still very outstanding, averaging 30.1 points per game, it is very likely to crown the honor of the regular season scoring king, although it has been attacked by injuries, and it is also 37 years old, but as an all-around tactic, Zhan Huang has always been a representative player who is slightly injured and cannot be in the line of fire, especially the current Lakers are still in trouble and need James to save.
So I also look forward to the performance of James and his new and old clubs next, if they can stage a super counterattack and meet the finals with their old clubs, then the attention and ratings of the NBA will definitely explode.
