The first round of G1 in the playoffs has been played, and the winner is winning, and the loser is losing. This season's playoffs seem to be very uneventful, it seems to be very competitive, so strong that people forget one thing, that is, this season's playoffs are not James! To be honest, it's still quite difficult to have a season without James when the playoffs begin. It should be said that from the beginning of the past ten years, 19 years of playoffs have not seen James and this season's playoffs have not seen James, the rest of the time whether it is the finals or the first round, there can always be James.
But since The Elder Joined the West, there have been 4 seasons, two of which have not made the playoffs, one season to win the championship and one season to exit the first round. In terms of championships, it is actually very good to take a championship in four seasons, but in terms of the achievements and number of games in James' career into the playoffs, in fact, in the West, The old Jan encountered "Waterloo". James's failure to make the playoffs is not to say that he is not in the same state as before, the data is actually as good as ever, but the dominance is obviously not the same, and the competitiveness of the West in the past two years seems to be greater.
To say that a very embarrassing old Jan data, that is, James in the East to reach the Finals season a total of 9, in these 9 years James faced only one player in the East, that is, rose that year. There are two theories, one is that James's dominance was indeed too strong in the East. Another is that it must be admitted that those years of strong west and weak east were real. In fact, James's situation this season is a bit similar to that of 18 years, the team began to decline, this season is the team suffered frequent injuries, and that season is the team's large-scale turnover.
But what are the results of the two seasons being different? It is this season that the Lakers have not even played in the playoffs, and in 18 years, James not only led the team to the playoffs, but even reached the Finals. Old Zhan was in the east at that time, and the bottom was also the lowest in the East Final, or it was not optimistic, but in fact, it was a final every year. No way, his dominance in the East is too strong, the overall strength of the East is not so high, those players can win James in two games a game, but in the seven-game playoffs, James is basically not afraid of anyone, because he is too familiar with the East.
But now it's different to move to the West, and when someone on the team is injured, James can no longer lead the team to a wave of winning streaks. Because the regular season western team can turn the sky, everyone's strength is balanced, dare not say who must have an absolute advantage, and old Zhan at this time the age is constantly rising, the dominance will naturally decline. If this season's James is replaced by an 18-year-old James, will the Lakers enter the playoffs? It is estimated that there is a high probability that they will still make the playoffs, but in the end, the Lakers may not be able to reach the finals. But anyway, without James's playoffs, it seems that there are many topics missing, so Yuzu sister did not have to write and rubbed a wave.
