Beijing time on April 5, although after losing to the Nuggets before, the Los Angeles Lakers this season do not want to play the playoffs, even enter the playoffs are only theoretically possible, but as James said before, before the team is officially completely eliminated, he and the team will fight to the end. At the same time, after the last loss, Thick Brow also expressed the hope that the next big three can play the last 4 games together.
Today, the Lakers officially released an injury report against the Suns tomorrow. Among them, Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone injury) missed the game; Anthony Davis (right mid-foot sprain) and LeBron James (left ankle sprain) were in doubt. According to past experience, it is basically possible to play in a suspicious game, but the situation will be determined before the game. At the same time, in today's Lakers official release of the team to the boarding photos to the away game, James also went to the away game with the team, and looks relaxed, should be a high probability will play.
Facing the Lakers in a backwater battle, their opponents the Sun also did not seem to have any intention of releasing water, and according to reports, only Saric and Kaminsky were on the injury reporting list. That is to say, the three main players who are absent from the game, Booker, Ayton and Crowder, will return to meet the Lakers. It can be said that all the staff are ready for battle, and the elite is exhausted.
It is worth mentioning that the Suns have now locked in the league number one in advance, and this season they even have a great hope of winning the championship. In such a situation, many people actually think that they will start a large-scale rotation, especially in the last game against the Thunder, the Sun directly took a break from Booker, Ayton, Crowder 3 tough players, many people think that this is the Sun is ready to take a break of the main players, but now it seems that they seem to be holding their breath to fight the Lakers.
Why does the sun value the Lakers so much? There are perhaps two important reasons. The first is that although the Lakers have a bad record this season, in several teams that are expected to participate in the playoffs and become the eighth in the West, compared to the Clippers, Timberwolves, Pelicans and Spurs, the Lakers' stardom is still the most sufficient, and in the playoffs that value stars very much, the Lakers will indeed be the biggest unstable factor.
And this season, the Lakers big three have not really played many games together because of injuries, and the chemistry is average. So the record alone is not enough to directly reflect the energy of the Lakers' big three, and in the playoffs, in case they really play a far beyond the strength of the regular season, even if they can't beat the sun, they may also let the sun peel off a layer of skin, which may be the sun does not want to see. Therefore, instead of letting the Lakers retain the last glimmer of hope, it is better to completely strangle the Lakers' hopes of entering the playoffs and playoffs tomorrow.
Second, before a game between the Lakers and the Suns in March, Thick Brow was interviewed by the media before the game, and when asked if his groin injury was the main reason the Lakers failed to beat the Suns in the playoffs last season, Davis said: "Yes. We know that, and they know it. They escaped. The remarks seemed to have infuriated the Suns completely, so the Suns scored 29 points at 140-111 in that game.
In the post-game interview, the Suns will still seem to be grumpy about the words of the thick eyebrows, tomorrow will be the last time the Suns will play against the Lakers this season, and there are still thick eyebrows in this game, I believe that the Suns will also want to take this opportunity to prove to the thick eyebrows how wrong his words are.
