Despite winning the championship of the season in 2020, Lakers fans seem to be never satisfied, and so does management, who are always obsessed with the future, and even the present is the future of the past. After missing the playoffs this season, there are even rumors that the Lakers may trade James and Thick Eyebrows, once again choosing to rebuild and choose the future. After all, they see the future before, and in other teams they start to cash in on their talents.
In today's G2 match between the Suns and the Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers' old Ingram played 39 minutes, bombarding a quasi-triple-double of 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, performing very old and outstanding, it is worth mentioning that this year is Ingram's first playoff. Relying on the strong play of Ingram and CJ McCollum, the Pelicans pulled back a set on the road to make it 1-1.
Ingram was traded to the Pelicans in the summer of 2019 and was the Lakers' most important chip to get Anthony Davis. The Pelicans also seemed intent on grooming him, renewing a five-year, $158 million contract with him in the summer of '20.
Although it is far from Tatum, it is already among the ranks of all-stars, and compared with the performance of this season's thick eyebrows, it is no wonder that Lakers fans think of their future again. Judging by the performance of this season, when Zion returns in the new season, the Pelicans really have a chance to suddenly rise as a dark horse in the mighty West. But if Ingram and CJ can continue their first two games in the next few games, they now have a chance to complete the Black Eight Miracle!
To say that Paul is also really bitter, if it were not for the leg injury in 2018, Houston would have had a great chance to overthrow the warriors who were indispensable at the time, and last year it was also because of the injury that affected his performance in the Finals, resulting in another missed championship. This year's regular season Suns broke the best record in team history, as if it was the biggest favorite of the championship, did not expect that in the first round of the game, Booker suffered a hamstring injury, no matter how the injury, even if he can attend the following games, the state will inevitably be greatly affected.
What are the chances that the Suns will win the championship this season?
