James' absence from the Lakers home ball made the game not too surprising, and the Lakers lost to the Jazz 139-116 in the pre-Thanksgiving focus battle. The absence of the Lakers' two guards, Beverley and Lonnie Walker, who thought triggered the safety regulations, made the Lakers, who were already short of major generals, even worse. The Lakers have once again suffered a three-game losing streak, and their current record has reached 2-8. At the same time, the Utah Jazz record improved to 9-3, which is also the best record in the West at present, and it is simply two extremes compared to the Lakers.
This game is also the first time that the old Jen has missed this season, the 37-year-old has attended all 9 games of the Lakers, and even many of them are injured, and the average playing time per game has reached more than 36 minutes this season, you can't ask him to do more. In two back-to-back games, Lao Zhan faced his old club to score a 27-point quasi-triple-double and failed to help the team win a victory, facing the Jazz, without James, the Lakers were unable to fight back. The thick-eyebrow partner Wei Shao also looked so weak.
The Lakers have only 2 wins so far, the number of wins and the Magic, the Rockets are tied for the bottom of the league, can you believe this is James' team? After all, he was the man who stood at the top of the league for a long time, and one of the greatest players in history, and he had such an embarrassing record in his 20th season. But James is indeed powerless, after all, he is no longer the James who carried the Cavaliers to the Finals 4 years ago, and this season has indeed seen a serious decline. You can say that it is because of the recent flu, but people still can't withstand the years after all.
Although averaging 25 points per game can still be talked about, the efficiency is really not as good as before, the most important is the success rate of finishing at the basket and the three-point shooting rate. Next month, Lao Zhan will turn 38 years old, and indeed at this age you say that he is a little embarrassed to let go of his full strength, not to mention that in a season of 82 games, the scene of fans wanting to stage James' return to the peak to lead the lottery team to the finals is certainly impossible. And there are many problems on the Lakers, and it is not something that James can solve, even if Jordan comes, there is no choice. What else can this Lakers do? There aren't many miracles left, and all that's left is to expect James to stay healthy.
