With the team losing 110-121 to the Suns, the Lakers also officially announced that they did not qualify for this year's playoffs, becoming one of the biggest "cold spots" this season!
You know, at the beginning of the season, the Media in the United States gave the Lakers a probability of winning the championship as high as more than 30%, and the team also formed a luxury big three of James + Davis + Westbrook, but did not expect that at the end of the season, even the qualifications for the playoffs were not available, and now the Lakers can already begin to prepare for the next season, I believe that after this failed season, they already have a lot of places to change and adjust.
This is also the second time in four seasons that James joined the Lakers that he has missed the playoffs, and for him who is about to turn 38, he really does not know where to go next season! In terms of personal performance, James's data is even higher than the year he won the championship, averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, in addition to shooting the best outside performance of his career, averaging 2.9 three-pointers at 35.9% shooting rate per game, but unfortunately, James played such a season and still failed to lead the team into the playoffs.
Looking at the current top 14 scorers, James is the first player to miss the playoffs, and in the past, fans have defined these personal data as excellent, but the players with the team's extremely poor record are defined as "data brushes", thinking that they can only play beautiful personal data, but it is difficult to lead the team to win. Who would have thought that this title would one day be put on James, it is undeniable that James was one of the most capable players in the league before this season, but with the increase of age, the old Zhan is indeed much worse than before, although the average per game can get the second highest career 30.3 points, but many points do not have a big impact on the game, if you change to play such data before, the team's record is definitely very luxurious.
Do you think James this season is a "data brush"?
