Beijing time on April 5/ news
So far this season, the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers has been far below expectations, the current Lakers 31 wins and 47 losses are on the verge of a playoff, the promotion to the playoffs is only theoretically possible, the fastest tomorrow is completely missed in the playoffs; after this year's Cleveland All-Star Game, the Lakers only got a bad record of 4 wins and 16 losses, during which James averaged 45 points per game to win.
Before the All-Star Game, the Lakers ranked in the top ten in the West with 27 wins and 31 losses; after the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers' record was even worse, and they were blown up by opponents in the first quarter many times, only 4 wins and 16 losses, with a winning rate of only 25%, during which the Lakers won when James scored 180 points in 4 games, averaging 45 points per game to lead the team to win - beating the Warriors to shoot 56 points, beating the Wizards to cut 50 points, beating the Raptors to get 36 points and beating the Cavaliers to get 38 points.
The Lakers have only 4 games left in the regular season, two wins behind the Tenth Spurs in the West (33 wins and 45 losses), and the probability of the Lakers advancing to the playoffs is only 6.1%, and the probability of advancing to the playoffs is only 0.2%.
Today there is no game in the NBA, the Lakers will not officially miss the playoffs as soon as tomorrow - if the Spurs defeat the Nuggets tomorrow, the Lakers will be swept by the Suns and completely out, which is the fastest result of the Lakers' season out; if the Spurs lose tomorrow, the Lakers still have a glimmer of hope for counterattack, but the hope is very small.
Tomorrow the Lakers away to the Suns, James and thick eyebrows are listed as doubtful, the Suns are the full main lineup to play, Paul, Ayton and Booker and other cores are determined to play, the Suns not only impact the team's history of the longest single season win record, but also do not want to leave a way for the Lakers to survive; this season the Lakers have lost the Suns three times, three games lost 57 points, I am afraid that the Lakers will lose miserably tomorrow and be swept.
James played 56 games this season, averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, 37-year-old Zhan still averaged 30+ per game in the 19th season of his career, but the Lakers' record was too poor, and it was likely that he could not even play in the playoffs; for James himself, he needed to play 2 more games to qualify for the scoring king.
