In this life-and-death battle between the Spurs and pelicans, the Pelicans finally defeated the Spurs 113-103 with the excellent performance of CJ McCollum and Ingram, leaving the Spurs without a playoff journey for three consecutive years. After the victory over the Spurs, the Pelicans will play one more game with the Los Angeles Clippers for the last ticket to the Western Conference playoffs. However, in this game, the well-known Zhan Hei Skip did not forget to ridicule the Lakers and James, and posted: "At the very least, the 'Kings' (James) should have played this game." But you and I both know that James knows his Lakers won't fare better in New Orleans than the Spurs. ”
Westbrook is already alone in the Lakers
Just as the so-called wall is pushed down by everyone, after the Lakers ended this season's journey with failure, Wei Shao, who seemed incompatible with the entire team, naturally became the target of everyone. In an interview with the media, James and Anthony Davis both said that they hoped that Wei Shao could play his own style with the Lakers and ignore others to do his best, but after hearing the reporter's retelling, Wei Shao immediately interrupted the reporter and hurriedly said: "Yes, but that is not true, to be honest." At the beginning of the season, everyone said that 'let Wei Shao do Wei Shao' was not true, and this season I rarely felt that I could be myself on the field. ”
Recently, the US media exposed some of the Lakers locker rooms in the insider, in the middle of the season, many Lakers executives have seen the mismatch between Westbrook and the entire lineup, and hope that Vogel can change the role of Westbrook, so that he no longer plays the team's starting point guard position, but Vogel has always insisted that Westbrook appear in the team's starting lineup. As we all know, there has long been a gap between Wei Shao and Vogel, and at the time of the interview, Wei Shao also expressed his dissatisfaction with Vogel, and now, Vogel has left the position of Lakers head coach, and at present, in the Lakers, there are fewer and fewer people willing to support Wei Shao.
Medical experts analyze James' foot injury
In the previous game against the Pelicans, James, whose foot injury had not healed, returned to the line of fire and cut 30+ individual points, but in the end, the Lakers did not win that game, and in the following games, James, who had a recurring foot injury, never appeared in the game. For many negative remarks about the "fraudulent injury" in the US media, medical expert Doctor Raj gave his own views, and said that James played against the Pelicans in the case of unhealed foot injury, but after that game, James's ankle injury was more serious, according to Doctor Raj's analysis, James's sprain is likely to be a second-degree sprain, and the recovery cycle is about 4-6 weeks.
Curry talks about joining forces with James
Previously, Curry had talked about James's desire to join forces with him in an interview with the media, and said: "I am in a good condition at the moment. On April 14, Beijing time, Curry once again talked about this issue in the program of Chasing Dreams Green, elaborating on the "I am good" remark he gave at the time, and said: "Why do I say I am good?" Because I always have to think about my current situation and have to think about the teammates I've played alongside from the beginning, because it's a fantasy [with James], it's crazy, but I show respect and appreciate it. It's unreal to think about my journey and my interaction with him when I was in college. But if this is in 2K, our combination will be fatal. ”
