Today the Lakers sit at Staples for the Suns, who eliminated themselves in last season's playoffs. Although to some extent, such a team that has just joined many veterans will not pay too much attention to the results of the previous preseason, but after all, this is the Lakers, as one of the most concerned teams in the league, and the league's first person, James, the label of eight consecutive losses is not willing to be labeled no matter what.
The process of today's game seems to show the determination of the Lakers, led by Wei Shao, who performed in the first game, the Lakers led by 3 points at the end of the first quarter. But the ensuing game is suddenly changed, the middle of the second quarter thick eyebrows and Howard a fierce quarrel seems to indicate that the Lakers seem to be unfavorable to you in this game, and sure enough, in the second and third quarters of the game, the Lakers once fell behind by 32 points, although the Lakers will fight hard in the last quarter, but they still have no choice but to lose to the Suns 105:115.
This failure made the Lakers have to awkwardly pick up the label of eight consecutive losses, and what is even more embarrassing is that the two core cores of the team's inner line, Thick Eyebrow and Howard, actually had a dispute with each other during a timeout, fortunately the conflict did not escalate under the persuasion of teammates. But such a conflict occurred during game time and was exposed by the camera to countless spectators and fans, and had to worry about the Lakers' journey at the beginning of the season.
Although both the head coach and Howard said after the game, this conflict was only caused by a misunderstanding about the basketball level in the arena and would not have any adverse impact on future games. But it is clear that at the moment when the team has lost consecutively, such a conflict breaks out, or it shows that the pressure on the players is very large. This season, the Lakers have many new signings, tactical run-in, and the atmosphere of the locker room still needs time to adjust.
The Lakers have a lot of veterans this season to join, we all say that the old Ji Futuo, this time the conflict from a certain aspect also shows that the players are still extremely committed to the game, maybe the current Lakers are needing such an emotional outburst, the players can release suppressed emotions from each other, just like the last quarter of this game, the whole team is united in their efforts to chase points.
It is said that if it does not erupt in silence, it perishes in silence. Hopefully, the Lakers' outburst of today's spat is a revelation that the team is on the right track, not the beginning of a further decline.
