The Purple Gold Army Lakers, without a doubt, have become the biggest laughing stock of the league this season, after the last life-and-death battle to the Suns, they have suffered seven consecutive defeats, officially missing the playoffs, which also announced the complete disillusionment of the playoff hopes, the remaining three regular season games have become the Purple Gold Army's honor battle, after all, they certainly do not want to end this humiliating season with a record of ten consecutive defeats! In the penultimate regular season game, the Lakers challenged the Warriors away, in this battle, the Purple and Gold Army in addition to the season reimbursement of The Nunn, the four main players Westbrook, James, Thick Brow Brother and Anthony all hung up the exemption card, but the Lakers' role players played a very good overall performance in this game, and the Warriors who have been sitting with Klay Thompson played until the last moment, but the gap in star strength made the Warriors perform more well at key moments, and finally won the Lakers 128-112 Although the game was lost, the role player's play was recognized by the fans, and the refusal to bear the blame for the team's lack of playoffs became the ridicule of the fans after the game!
In this game, the Purple and Gold Army sent Tucker and Munch's backcourt double guns, in the absence of the Big Three, both of them played very well, of which Tucker hit 15 goals in 28 shots, got 40 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals of the full personal data, Munch also cut 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, the excellent performance of the two of them, but also the reason why the Purple and Gold Army was able to bite the score for a long time and did not let the Warriors end the suspense early.
And this season has not been welcomed by Vogel Warcraft Howard, in this game, but also proved that he is still in the offensive and defensive ends can provide a lot of help to the team, the first howard, in the 25.3 minutes of its debut, 10 shots hit 6 goals, cut 16 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, completely suppressed the Warriors' starting center Looney, see the role players play, but also let many Lakers fans sigh, If you play with role players all season, it is estimated that the record will not be worse than it is now.
After The Cute Curry was injured, the Warriors also withdrew from the First Place battle in the West early, but fortunately they locked in the top four in the West, which also allowed the team to have home advantage in the first round of the playoffs, but to go further, the Warriors must play better in the playoffs, and the last few regular season games let Klay Thompson find the best form, which became a top priority for the Warriors.
Facing the Purple and Gold Army, Klay Thompson performed well and became the most stable endpoint on the offensive end of the team, starting 33.3 minutes and hitting 12 goals in 22 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, cutting a team-high 33 points, while Poole, who replaced Curry as a point guard, did a good job of connecting the team's attacks, cutting the double-double data of 19 points and 11 assists in the game.
After the end of the season, how the Lakers' management will make a trade, adjusting the team's lineup has become the biggest focus of fans, and Klay Thompson's return has made Warriors fans have higher expectations for the team's playoff prospects, and I believe that with Curry's return, they will once again attack the championship trophy!
