James waved goodbye to this season, full of helplessness and regret, and also congratulated Mr. Yoo on his successful promotion.
The Lakers' playoff journey came to an end, losing 106-108 to the Nuggets on the road, and they were eliminated by a 1-4 overall score. In fact, such a result is expected, but I am unwilling. There is a gap in the strength of the two teams, and the biggest gap is the coach.
Jokic averaged 30 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists per game in five playoff games, and his luxury triple-double performance was completely invincible, and no one in this league, at least for now, could limit him, the soul of the entire Nuggets team.
Coach Malone's tactics and on-the-spot play are really worth learning from many coaches, especially the Lakers' coaches. No matter how good Jokic is, it is impossible for him to beat the Lakers alone, and in almost every game, in addition to Jokic and Murray, at least one or two people stand up, whether it is Gordon, Porter Jr., or even Pope. When the game goes into the scorching heat, it needs a key ball, and Mr. Murray will certainly live up to expectations.
Looking back at the Lakers, the performance of Lao Zhan and Thick Eyebrows in the entire series was perfect, and two of the four games they lost were reversed, and the coach has an unshirkable responsibility. Lao Zhan's contract still has one year, and with the current state, I dare not say that I can play efficiently for at least one year.
Not to mention the thick eyebrows, the average performance of 30+15 per game in the playoffs with injuries is in the year of playing, if you want to keep the thick eyebrows, don't waste the good time of Lao Zhan's contract year, and replace the cephalosporin as a top priority.
Finally, Russell and Rivers have one year left on his contract and now wants to seek an early extension, unless management has a hole in his head. Hurry up and trade, it's not a playoff player at all, an offensive nerve knife, and a defensive stab.
Rivers doesn't have a high ceiling, but he has no problem playing with his attitude and defensive enthusiasm, and he is often the team's No. 4 scorer, so he is already qualified.
Looking forward to the Lakers' comeback next season, come on, James!
