fiasco! The Lakers' big three collectively rested, harvested 1 joy and 1 worry, and the offseason was difficult: who to trade in the end
On April 8, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are getting closer and closer, but for the Los Angeles Lakers, their season has ended early, and after the last big defeat to the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers have completely lost the theoretical possibility of entering the playoffs, not to mention the playoffs.
Today, facing the Warriors who locked up the playoff spot in advance, Lakers fans also have a lot of feelings, that is, they and the Warriors' fate were exchanged a year ago, when Curry, who was crowned the scoring king, was blocked out of the playoffs, and James and his team, who are also very promising to be crowned the scoring king at an advanced age this season, also ended the playoffs early.
In this game, the two teams did not send all the main forces, the Warriors are training to maintain the physical state of the players, and the Lakers have a complete substitution meaning, today James, Wei Shao and Thick Brow collective absence, it can be seen that it is a complete abandonment of this season.
The main players have all hung up the exemption card, but they have invisibly given the opportunity to substitute, and there are many potential new stars who also want to seize this rare opportunity and time to perform themselves well and strive to prepare for next season, after all, they are incomparable with the three absent superstars.
The Lakers' bench was unusually fierce as soon as the first quarter of the game came, and fans rarely saw a hint of hard work in them. Similar to Munch, Tucker are full of strength to play, mid-range and impact the inside line to make free throws, the beginning of the Warriors to play a little stuffy, the end of the first quarter lakers bombed 32 points, 5 points ahead of the Warriors into the second quarter.
After all, the Warriors have the absolute strength of the top four in the West, although the core player Curry did not play, but relying on hard power and the presence of Tang Shen and Wiggins, the Lakers who started very crazy did not have the slightest panic, the second quarter is the Warriors' offensive performance, three points rain wave after wave, especially Clay, the recent feel is indeed bursting, as if also found the three-point feeling of the year. Today's offense has given fans another glimpse of the Warriors' hope of going even further this year. After all, as an important member of the Splash Brothers, without his play, it would be too difficult for the Warriors to rush out of the West this year.
The Warriors also played an extremely gorgeous offense, a single quarter of the 38 points of good play, this quarter although the Lakers are also doing their best to fight, but in the face of the Warriors is really powerless, this quarter they were beaten by the Warriors a 30:38, was expanded point difference into the second half.
It has completely become the time of the Warriors, although the score has not been able to continue to blast high scores, but still pressed the Lakers to the ground and rubbed, the Lakers players even if they play very well, but still feel desperate. The three big guys with tens of millions of annual salaries on the court, at this moment do not know how to feel in their hearts, watching their teams being beaten but can not play, the key is that everyone is not injured can not play, this scene is also let many Lakers fans disappointed, how high the expectations before the start of this season, how tragic it is now, and sure enough, the lakers are behind 22:26 again in the third quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, in fact, the fans have long had no expectations, the Lakers faced such a large score difference and did not have the motivation to catch up with the turnover, and the fans were already discouraged. In fact, at this moment, the Lakers have long focused more on the offseason of this season, which is their home performance time.
The Lakers have never lacked traffic, whether it is James's whereabouts or whether the draft can find treasures this summer, it will undoubtedly be the focus of the world's attention, and what lineup the Lakers will be at that time is really everything possible!
