Beijing time on March 18, the NBA regular season is still in progress, the two major fans concerned about the players Lakers and Warriors have lost, both of which have suffered two consecutive losses, and the rankings have also declined, the Warriors are currently ranked 7th in the West, and the Lakers are 10th, which is undoubtedly very worrying for most fans who like them, so who should be the most responsible for the loss in this game in Los Angeles?
"In the last minute, we defended Irving with all our might, and in my opinion, he would choose to shoot in the last minute, so the first thing I thought of was to run back inside to grab the rebound, and he passed the ball and Kleber hit that three-pointer, so we lost the game, the blame is on me, I didn't handle the key moments of the game!" This is Davis' self-blame, which is also one reason why the Lakers lost, and the free throws, defense, etc. throughout the game are also problems.
The Lakers lost this time, the record became 34-37, originally they had a better chance to compete for the playoffs, but injuries and recent performances have made all this more confusing, and the remaining 11 games are crucial for the Lakers, because it is related to whether they can step into the playoffs and compete for the hope of this season as a playoff? As for Davis himself, these 11 games may be related to his career with the Lakers.
Barkley (NBA legend) from Bleacher Report bluntly said: Davis has not played more than 70 games in 5 seasons, and this is the fourth time he has failed to play 60 games in a team's regular season in recent times, such a performance, if he can't bring the Lakers to the playoffs in James' absence this season, then it will undoubtedly be a big possibility to trade him this summer!
In addition, earlier on, Colin Coward (NBA analyst) talked about the value of the thick eyebrow trade, in the Lakers' view his value has increased, this time if the team needs to trade, Davis will be a good choice! Similarly, from reporter Chris Brussard previously said in First Things Firs: James is constantly hinting to Anthony that if he fails to stay on the team and is always injured, there is no doubt that the team needs to change, he does not want thick eyebrows to always affect the future of the Lakers due to injury, he hopes to play with Davis to win games, instead of wasting his career time because of injury!
It is worth mentioning that previously, the US media broke the news: James and Davis may have a certain contradiction, because when James won the NBA total scoring title, the thick eyebrows did not congratulate him, and such a bad performance in this game made James's opinion of Davis greater, he still hopes to get Irving, who is very eye-catching in beating the Lakers today, and is eager to join forces with the latter again! In today's game against the Lakers in Dallas, Irving played 38+6+6, plus-minus +11, assisted teammates in the final minute to take the game, and Davis was 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, playing very hard.
Combined with this, the news obtained is twofold: First, in the Lakers' roster, when losing will stimulate the team's contradictions, but is the relationship between James and the thick eyebrows really as the American media said, in order to win and because of the injury caused unpleasantness, this time at the key node of the loss, has the conflict between James and Davis escalated again? Second, the Lakers may continue to pursue Irving this summer, after all, the latter is very interested in joining, and the US media is discussing the two sides first sign and then trade, so if Davis fails to complete the team's playoff expectations, there is a certain possibility of being traded to Dallas.
