The Los Angeles Lakers have been in fluctuating form after winning the midseason title, losing three of their last four games, losing to the Mavericks 125-127, the Spurs 115-129, and the Knicks 109-114, with the only victory being a narrow 122-119 victory over the Spurs.
The Lakers have lost 3 of their last 4 games
The uneven personnel caused by injuries is one of the reasons for the stability of the Lakers, and in the last game with the Knicks, only 3 players in the team scored double-doubles, Lao Zhan 25 + 11 + 10, Thick Mei 32 + 14, Reaves 20 + 7. Prince, Russell, and Reddish did not feel good, of which Prince shot 3 of 13, Russell shot 3 of 10, and Reddish shot 2 of 9, which is not their normal level, and the Lakers character puzzle still needs to find its feel.
The Lakers have a tough schedule ahead
In the past six games, Thick Eyebrows has averaged 31.7 points, 14.2 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, shooting 57.9% from the field, and is the Lakers' interior gate. Old Zhan Baodao is not old, and has scored more than 20 points in 6 consecutive games. Talking about the schedule in December, Lao Zhan said that the itinerary is really hard, and it is necessary to maintain stable energy and strive to end December in the right way.
Zhan Mei needs help
The Lakers have 4 games in the next 6 days, including three consecutive away games, tomorrow on the 21st away to the Chicago Bulls, back-to-back on the 22nd away to the Timberwolves, the 24th away to the second Thunder in the West, and the 26th home to the first Celtics in the East. The above opponents are not easy to play, and they have played continuously on the road, so far the Lakers have only won 5 of their 14 road games, and the away win rate is only 35.7%.
The Bulls beat the 76ers in an upset
The Bulls, who are temporarily in 12th place in the East, seem to be slightly weaker, LaVine and Craig are injured and absent, but the Bulls defeated the 76ers led by Embiid and Maxey 108-104 in the last game, so the Lakers did not have that game was easy. After the end of the three-game trip, although the Lakers returned to their home court, they had to face the bitter rival Celtics, and the Lake-Kai battle will definitely attract the attention of all parties. At present, the Lakers are 15-12 and temporarily ranked 8th in the West, but this position is not stable, only 2 wins ahead of the 11th-place Warriors. #2023年度创作挑战#
