On March 28, the Lakers played against the Pelicans, did you see it? James fired continuously from a distance in the second quarter, giving the Lakers a lead of more than 20 points at one point, but even so, the Lakers eventually lost. The Pelicans beat the Lakers to the teeth in just one section, and james scored 39 points in that game, not only on milestone night, the youngest Mr. 37,000, but more importantly, the damn ankle was twisted, and the strong body really had to bow its head in the face of the years.
James is injured, you should know what that means? No matter what kind of defensive state he is said to be on the court, his scoring ability can always be believed. Isn't that? In the game against the Lone Rangers, the Lakers can be described as a collapse, not only no defense, but also the offense they rely on is gone, and Dong Gongqi easily cut 34 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in 30 minutes.
The game is over! James went from pity to laughter, davis also laughed, which attracted a lot of people's criticism, I think this is not about right or wrong, the key is how you look at it! And I'm not talking about James.
It's the Lakers' schedule for next season!
The Lakers haven't fallen out of the playoffs yet, and they still have the viability to win in a handful of games, albeit quite difficult against teams, the Jazz, Pelicans, Nuggets, Suns, Warriors, Thunder. But if you consider that these powerful teams are accumulating physical strength for the playoffs, they may not be so desperate, so if you have the will, the lakers want to play the playoffs are very likely, even in the playoffs to win, but only if you have to come up with a hundred percent of the opponent's state. I really don't know how many other players in the Los Angeles Lakers, including management and coaching staff, have such a mind, they are a group of teams that were temporarily cobbled together last season, where is their existing team culture? James, the main backbone, has not been able to completely cut through the thorns.
So think about it! What the Lakers will think.
It is reported that James and Davis will continue to miss the game against the Knights, and the subsequent games are not clear whether James will continue to be absent, I think! If the will is not strong, management should consider letting James rest until game 82 is over, at which point Vogel needs to give full rein to Westbrook. Because Westbrook can sometimes do miracles, you don't necessarily mean that he can't lead such a group of players into the playoffs, and you can foresee that Westbrook's departure from the Lakers next season is already a foregone conclusion, and he and James are not compatible or in Vogel's system, Westbrook is a dispensable presence
But if you just leave like this, it is really difficult to say what type of players will be matched by the next family of The next family who took over Wei Shao, he was scolded by the fans, and more seriously, the fans of Los Angeles threatened his family, and they even scolded James! It's scary. But the key is that James is already a hundred poisons, this kind of scene he has long been commonplace, but Wei Shao is not. He was the son of Oklahoma, he grew up in a bee jar, and he had seen such a scene, and in the past he had played badly and ended directly with the "next question". But now he has begun to doubt himself, his shooting has long been deformed, his passion has long gone, so you need to think about it, if James plays, Wei Shao will not be so brave to shoot, but if James rests, then in the remaining few games, Vogel should let Wei Shao enjoy every game.
In the last five games, Westbrook has scored three-pointers in every game and shot 54% from the field, far exceeding the season average. Westbrook is getting better, even if the team is still losing, maybe the next game Westbrook will find the same state he once was in the Thunder? Even if you still lose, it will deepen the impression of some teams, "Oh, it turns out! Wei Shao can play well. "But what if he brings this Lakers team into the playoffs? Everybody will be damning James, but so what! Still that sentence Old Zhan is really not afraid of scolding, but Wei Shao is afraid. If James does not play the rest of the schedule, Vogel should completely delegate power to Wei Shao, but he is coming, let's do it! Wei Shao was happy, and the Lakers were really happy
