There will come a time when someone wants to change everything. For the Lakers, for example, it was the exciting playoff day. James now even thinks the play-off idea is outrageous, is anyone to blame for it? No, there is actually room for discussion on this matter.
Then again, this season for the Lakers has been a rollercoaster ride. In the face of their stubborn rivals, their report cards are somewhat up and down, like the stock market trends of the past few years. This time, the Lakers' 124-108 victory against the Pelicans on the road seemed to give their fans a shot in the arm, as if to tell the world: we are still here, we can still play!
Behind the fans' overflowing joy, there is actually no shortage of controversy over the play-off system. Isn't this the third time in four years that the Lakers have embarked on this "atypical" playoff path? If it weren't for this strange system, the Lakers would be strong enough to make the playoffs with their heads held high. But they still have to show their best in this so-called additional test, beating you to the death, just to be able to go further
However, the Lakers, who have been through the challenges, always seem to be able to prove themselves in the play-offs. The first two times were in seventh place in the West, and this year it was the same. Can these three victories be regarded as proof of the injustice of the system, or ironclad proof of the tenacity of the Lakers?
In the blink of an eye, what continued to unfold on the court was the familiar and passionate scene. Behind the sweat of the players is their relentless pursuit of victory and glory, and maybe that's what the system designers wanted, and they probably say, "Look, no matter how much you complain, it's not a hot fight."
These Lakers wins have made people wonder if this play-off game is really a blockage or a color, and when the answer is not so clear, we may have to admit that it is just another way to enrich the story of the sport.
