The illness is like a mountain! It is revealed that the Lakers' three generals will be reimbursed for the season! It backfired, and Lao Zhan was afraid that he would be forced to give up the championship
At the beginning of the season, they were very optimistic, but as the schedule deepened, injuries continued to invade, and after the record declined in one fell swoop, the Lakers were no longer optimistic about having a chance to hit this year's championship! After all, the Lakers in the Wild West want to break out of the encirclement and fight a bloody road! Because if the Lakers want to reach the finals, they will face the encirclement and suppression of the Suns, Clippers, and Nuggets.
But even if the Lakers' prospects for winning the championship are not optimistic, James and his Lakers have not given up, and their ultimate goal in the season is still to win the championship! Because the Lakers have the all-powerful LeBron James, he means that there are all possibilities! Don't look at the old Zhan's old age, he will be 40 years old in a few months. But he still has gas in the tank, and it is far from the point where the gas runs out! Therefore, the healthy Lakers will still be a strong opponent that Western teams dare not underestimate.
Although the Lakers are currently locked out of the top six gates in the West, they will most likely get a playoff ticket through the play-offs! Once the playoffs come, James will start the full Zhan Thanos mode! Lao Zhan, who was born for big scenes, will become a ruthless character that opponents fear. Although they are not seeded, they will be a playoff team that no one will dare to underestimate.
Of course, the premise for the Lakers to hit the championship is to stay healthy, otherwise everything is not to be talked about! But the damn injury finally found the door, and what is even worse is that they are not just injured and suspended, but as many as three big players will be reimbursed for the season! This is definitely a heavy blow to the Lakers to hit the championship. In addition to greatly reducing the team's competitiveness to win the championship, it will also seriously frustrate the morale of the Lakers, which will directly affect the morale of their whole team.
According to CBS sports reporter Bill Reiter, league sources have revealed that Lakers players Christian Wood, Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent are all expected to be reimbursed for the season. Bill Reiter revealed that while Vanderbilt's return is still possible, it is not expected to happen. ESPN has previously reported a reimbursement for Christian Wood's season. As for Gabe Vincent, he has been injured for three months, but there is still no news of a comeback!
The Lakers can accept season reimbursement from Vincent and Wood, but they will definitely not accept Vanderbilt's season reimbursement! As he is a defensive knife on the team's front line, the Lakers need him to play a role in the playoffs too much! But now that even he has been reimbursed for the season, the Lakers' championship dream is about to be shattered in advance. Although James is desperate to lead the Lakers to the O'Brien Cup podium again, this time he may have to give up on the championship. Because if you continue to struggle, it will eventually be a bamboo basket to draw water, and it will be empty!
