Their own team continues to lose, and no one will feel better if they lose urgently, no, after playing more than 30 minutes in the game, facing the firepower of the opposing players, and their own side can only support in the case of backwardness, seeing that there is no hope of turning the tables, the coach also replaced the main players and announced his surrender.
In fact, the performance of their own team can not be said to be how bad, they got 34 points, two teammates got 20 points, unfortunately the three-point feel is poor, but this is not unacceptable, after all, the feeling does need to look at the state and a certain amount of luck, in contrast, the opponent's 50% three-point rate is extraordinarily exaggerated, and they have worked hard to get two points, and the opponent turns his head to be a three-point shot, which really affects the mentality of the players.
The Lakers' recent situation is not optimistic, after a wave of four consecutive defeats, and the opponents lost to are not all strong teams, such as losing to the Spurs by 14 points, losing to the Bulls by 16 points, finally winning the Thunder, and encountering strong opponents in a row, losing to the Celtics, losing to the Timberwolves, and losing to the Pelicans this time, overall, only losing to the Timberwolves is controversial, and the other games are purely the Lakers' own reasons, after some baptism, the Lakers' current ranking has fallen to ninth in the West.
The five major groups on the edge of the Western playoffs, the Clippers have succeeded in the "Northern Expedition", a wave of consecutive wins hit the fourth position, farewell to this ranks, the Suns, Lakers, Rockets, Warriors, the eighth to eleventh in the current division of the West, the Suns seem to have found the feeling of winning after Durant's transformation, and after a winning streak came to the eighth in the West, the Lakers currently have the same 50% winning rate as the Rockets, and the Rockets have played four games less than the Lakers, and the Lakers' ninth position is also in jeopardy.
In the game against the Pelicans, after facing Ingram's three-point shot, the Lakers finally announced their surrender and replaced James Davis, James's data was fixed at 34 points, he tried his best enough, in the last controversial three-point shot, and then to the full outburst of the opponent in this game, James was also very frustrated after his birthday night, and even before the game was over, James left the court and returned to the locker room, which can be seen that his mentality collapsed.
If the Lakers have shortcomings in this game, it is that the three-point shot is too iron, the most accurate shot is Prince's 7 of 4, and then it turned out to be James's 7 of 3, the Lakers' reinforcement focus every season is outside projection, but the effect of each season is very average, such as Rivers 3-point shot 5 of 1, the hand is not good, but he can at least help the team through other methods, such as he did not rely on three-pointers still scored 20 points, handed out 9 assists, and did not even make a turnover, but it is difficult for other players to do this。
And the Lakers also have a representative of Vanderbilt, who scored 4 points on 2 of 4 shots on the offensive end, Hachimura can be described as a great all-rounder on the offensive end of the Lakers, but he left the court because of injury, the Lakers will have 11 home games in the next 12 games, but their opponents are relatively strong, the next game against the Heat, the next game is against the Clippers, the Suns, the Mavericks, the Thunder, etc., and the Lakers still have four absent players, namely Vincent, Hachimura, Russell, Reddish, these players are still the main players of the Lakers, all of this, it seems to be bad news for the Lakers。
Maybe James will break the defense not because of this game, but because of the loss in the last game because of the penalty problem, the opponent broke out again, many of the main players of the Lakers' own lineup were injured, and the rest of the people felt a ghost on the outside, and the next game did not look optimistic, and a variety of reasons were added together, making it difficult for him to feel comfortable.
The Lakers' current playoff rival Rockets, the next two games against the Nets and Pistons, if nothing else, the Rockets can also win, so the Lakers will fall to the tenth place in the West, and the playoffs are getting farther and farther away.
