8-1!No. 1 in the league!The most unpredictable team in the league, they are changing their lives against the sky
The NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the record rankings of the major teams have become the top priority, and the Western Conference is under great pressure to compete for the rankings, especially the fifth and sixth places in the West. With the Kings suffering two consecutive losses recently, the Lakers have automatically tied the Kings' record, which means that the Lakers are in contention for the seventh and eighth spots in the West (there are two lives in the playoffs, and a win will advance to the playoffs). The Warriors lost to the Mavericks without Doncic, which made their chances of playing the Lakers slim. 8-1!No. 1 in the league!The most unpredictable team in the league, they are changing their lives against the sky.
NBA reporters reported that the Western Conference playoff teams Pelicans, Kings, Warriors and Rockets all lost on the same day, and the Lakers locked up the top 10 in the West (at least one playoff position). Fans laughed and ridiculed, "In the past few seasons, the Lakers who don't play games are really strong, and the competitors have all lost, giving the Lakers the best opportunity, it depends on whether the Lakers can seize the opportunity, win the ranking card battle, and win the top eight records in the West." "It's weird right now that the Lakers can beat the Greens, Bucks, Thunder and Clippers when you think the Lakers can't do it, and when you think the Lakers can definitely do it, the Lakers lose to the underdogs and lose the ranking battle.
The Los Angeles Lakers recently finished with an 8-1 record, the first in the league during the same period, while the Lakers were second in the league in offensive efficiency and fifth in defensive efficiency. And, since March, the Lakers have shot a whopping 42.8 percent from three-point range (the most in the league during the same period). Who would have thought that the Lakers seem to have really gotten stronger recently, especially the offensive scoring ability, three-point shooting ability, and the Lakers generals have finally opened up the scoring hand. For example, the Lakers Grizzlies shot 54.5% from three-point range, and the Lakers played the Wizards with a 43.9% three-point shooting rate. James shot 9 of 10 three-pointers in a single game, and blasted 40 points + 7 rebounds + 5 assists.
Why did the Lakers have a best 8-1 record lately? Some people say that now that the regular season is coming to an end and the playoffs are about to begin, players such as James, Bushy Eyebrows, Russell and Reaves have to enter the playoffs early. The Lakers have played well recently, in addition to the James Mei combination, role players such as Russell, Hachimura and Reaves have played particularly crucially, for example, the Lakers played the Bucks, Russell slashed 29 points + 7 rebounds + 12 assists + 2 steals + 1 block, Reaves also slashed 29 points + 14 rebounds + 10 assists triple-double data, and the two of them led the team to win the Bucks. Russell and Reaves are getting better and better, and Hachimura has scored 15+ points in seven consecutive games recently, and the Lakers role players are becoming more and more stable.
As for the evaluation of the Los Angeles Lakers this season, fans believe that "they are the most unpredictable team", because no one can guess the true strength of the Lakers. You said that the Lakers have a poor record and are not strong, but this season, the Lakers have a 3-1 record against the Thunder, the Lakers beat the Bucks twice, and the Lakers have a 3-1 record against the Clippers. You say that the Lakers have a strong roster, but they often lose some card battles and lose to some weak teams. Isn't this amazing, O'Neal and Pierce interviewed and analyzed, "As long as the Lakers don't meet the Nuggets in the playoffs, they have a chance to beat any opponent!"
39-year-old James, he still plays the strongest data and strength in the league, I remember that before the start of the season, many fans said that the 39-year-old Zhan will definitely not be able to cut 40+, however, this season James has hit 40+ three times and led the team to win. In the last 8 games, Brother Thick Mei has averaged 26.5 points + 18.5 rebounds + 3.2 assists + 1.6 steals + 2.6 blocks per game, and the shooting rate is as high as 58.9%, which is very sharp. James and Bushy Eyebrows are crazy about how they want to lead the team to change their lives and make the playoffs and championships.
