On April 18, Beijing time, the 2023-2024 season play-offs are underway, in which Rivers talked about Brother Alphabet's injury, his return must be earlier than expected, and it is not ready yet, Maxey revealed that Butler knows his strengths, and we can't expect to win by doing nothing. Just now, when the Los Angeles Lakers advanced to the Western Conference playoffs, the Golden State Warriors were eliminated, and superstar Kevin Durant became the biggest winner, two reasons benefited the latter, obviously, will head coach Kerr, Dream Green, and Klay Thompson miss him?
According to the latest report from the Register, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the New Orleans Pelicans in the play-off match, with superstars LeBron James and D'Angelo Russell, Reaves was able to stand up at critical moments, and Anthony Davis played with an injury and successfully won this crucial game, also thanks to Zion's sudden injury. It is important to emphasize that the acquisition of the New Orleans Pelicans has certain benefits for the Los Angeles Lakers, that is, they can get three days of rest and advance to the playoffs, which is obviously the result that general manager Pelinka wants to see.
It is worth mentioning that compared to the Los Angeles Lakers to advance, the Golden State Warriors played against the Sacramento Kings, because Stephen Curry played 36 minutes, cut 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and there were as many as six turnovers, Klay Thompson played 31 minutes, scoring nothing, only 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Andrew Wiggins is still stable, so they lost and lost to the latter. And the consequence of losing is that he missed the playoffs and was directly eliminated, for owner Lacob, whether to renew Klay Thompson or rebuild, to consider carefully.
You must know that some people advance, some people eliminate, but Kevin Durant, a superstar, becomes the biggest winner. First of all, the first is, because when the Los Angeles Lakers advanced to the play-offs, they helped Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns rise to sixth in the West and advance to the playoffs. Secondly, the second is that the Golden State Warriors were eliminated, I believe that head coach Kerr and Dream Green and Klay Thompson will miss the days when there was Kevin Durant, the first three have gone fishing, and the latter is preparing for the championship, and the difference is still very big.
Now, with the Los Angeles Lakers successfully advancing to the playoffs, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans, and letting Zion Williamson, Ingram, and McCollum challenge the Sacramento Kings, while the Golden State Warriors, with the Big Four of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Dream Green, and Andrew Wiggins, lost the game and were directly eliminated. It should be noted that the Lakers advanced, the Warriors eliminated, but Kevin Durant became the biggest winner, the first is to prove that the Warriors, the credit for winning the championship in the two years, he is the biggest, and the second is that there are now playoffs to play, slap Green's sentence, without you we are already champions.
