How disappointing the Lakers are this season, before the start of the season, the major media predicted that the Lakers were the top three teams in the West and the most potent contenders for the NBA championship, but at the end of the season, the Lakers only achieved a record of 33 wins and 49 losses and did not qualify for the Western Conference playoffs, which was simply a shame for the Lakers. The US media also continues to sprinkle salt on the Wounds of the Lakers, so the Lakers have raised too high, and it is difficult not to be left with a tongue.
This season, the entire Lakers have played 42 live broadcasts in the United States, and it is not surprising to say that they are the most high-profile team in the United States, but the Lakers have only won 33 games, even less than their own national live broadcasts. In yesterday's playoff between the Spurs and pelicans, the Spurs qualified for the first time in the United States for live broadcasting this season, and although they eventually lost the game, the most humiliating thing than the Lakers was the Lakers. At the end of the game, an American media posted: "The Lakers, who have not even scored in the playoffs, have more than 40 live broadcasts in the United States this season." ”
There are only 82 games in the whole season, but the Lakers live broadcast more than half of the games in the United States, and in the Games broadcast by the Lakers in the United States, most of them lose, which can be said to be a public execution, which is simply murderous for the entire Lakers. The Lakers' book strength is indeed not ordinary, with four officially recognized big 75 players in one team, which is more famous than any other team, and no one can believe that this team does not even qualify for the playoffs before the start of the season.
Looking back, whose problem did the Lakers really have? It seems that since last offseason they have been making mistakes, obviously because of injuries caused a round of playoffs, the result of the management of the bottom of the salary, with half a team to trade Wei Shao, this deal now seems to be a lose-lose deal, the Wizards and Lakers eventually missed the playoffs, and the Lakers also shared the mess of Westbrook, he has chosen to execute next season's contract, the salary will reach 4700+ US dollars.
Now that the team's head coach Vogel has resigned, he is the one who took the initiative to carry the pot, and the 2020 championship has not been able to keep Vogel to continue coaching, but it is good to get together and disperse, and leaving may be a better choice for him. Next season, the Lakers are likely to continue their team this season, because they have almost no room for adjustment, unless they trade Westbrook, but Westbrook's contract is so high, who can be willing to accept Westbrook?
The Lakers will probably not have another 42 national broadcasts next season, and the higher the expectations for them, the greater the ultimate disappointment, and I am afraid that I will continue to be disappointed next season. The Lakers are eager to change, but how can they change? You can't trade james and Davis, right? James can even renew the contract with the Lakers for two seasons nearly 100 million next season, and if the Lakers give it, they will almost announce that they will decline in the next few years.
Shame and courage this is what fans most hope the Lakers can do in the future, this season is really a shame for these veterans, their brilliant career has never suffered such a low, next season will be their last chance to prove, no veteran wants to leave the game with this ending, what they long for is to win!
