After successive defeats to the Pelicans and Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers, who are currently in internal and external troubles, have almost been forced to the edge of the cliff, and there is probably only a theoretical possibility from the vow of "entering the playoffs", speaking of theoretical possibilities, many fans may not help but think of the Chinese men's football team, in the journey of one World Cup qualifier after another, the four words "theoretical possibility" are probably the most familiar to chinese men's football. However, according to the current situation, the possibility of the Los Angeles Lakers being able to get a play-off area ticket is really very small, let's analyze the "theoretical possibility" of the Lakers.
First of all, let's talk about the Lakers themselves, just as the so-called "iron also needs to be hard, no need to whip themselves", for the current Lakers team, the most important thing is definitely themselves. In the remaining four games, the Lakers' opponents are the Suns, Warriors, Thunder and Nuggets, but in these four teams, the Suns, Warriors and Nuggets can be called Western powerhouses, and their winning percentages during the regular season are much higher than the Lakers. The Suns reporter revealed that on the occasion of the next game against the Lakers, Booker, Ayton and Crowder, who were previously on leave, may return at the same time, and in the current situation of the Lakers, the possibility of them being able to beat the Suns is very small, and some time ago, AD also publicly stated that the Reason why the Suns were able to reverse the victory over the Lakers during the playoffs last season was a fluke, it is clear that AD's remarks also completely angered the Suns' soldiers. When facing the Lakers again at home, the Suns will not be soft at all, but will play extra hard.
The Warriors' state has not been stable in recent times, and the main reason must be due to Curry's injury, after Curry's injury, the state of the ups and downs of Klay Thompson and Wiggins in a "half-lying" state seem to be difficult to help the team win more games. However, in the previous game against the Warriors, LeBron James, who slashed 50+, played a very amazing competitive state, so if the Lakers want to win this victory, they will have to rely on the magical play of James and AD.
The Thunder team is not too competitive this season, for a rebuilding team, getting more draft picks and better picks is what they should care about more, but before that, the Lakers have also lost to the Thunder, with the current spirit of the Lakers, which team in the NBA has the possibility of beating them... Don't be careless, steady and steady, is the Lakers should come up with the attitude of the game. The Nuggets naturally need not say more, in the last game against the Nuggets, they did not have the meaning of "water", and their star Jokic is still one of the strong contenders for the regular season MVP this season, Jokic needs more wins to attract more votes.
Of course, in addition to themselves, the current Spurs have enough to win two more games than the Lakers, in the last four rounds of the competition, the Spurs to face the opponents are the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Warriors and Lone Rangers, if in these four games, the Spurs have won two or more wins, then the Los Angeles Lakers will be completely out of the play-off zone of the journey, in addition to looking at themselves, the Lakers also have to "look" at popovich's face. If the Spurs are not in good shape in the later stages, only achieving a record of 1 win, 3 losses or 0 wins and 4 losses, then the Lakers need to achieve 4 wins and 0 losses and 3 wins and 1 loss respectively to get through the danger.
