Excellent Live News On April 29th, , the Lakers lost to the Wizards 107-116 away.
1 win and 3 losses in the last 4 games, and 3 losses in 7 days.
It seems that the comeback of thick eyebrows did not save the Lakers, and the record got worse and worse.
The Wizards continue to rank tenth in the Eastern Conference, and the possibility of participating in the playoffs is increasing.
In this campaign, the Lakers once trailed by 13 points after the third quarter. However, in the final quarter, the Lakers launched a counterattack. Unfortunately, the Wizards Westbrook and Bill played steadily. In the end, the Lakers were unable to recover and suffered the next game
defeat.
In the game, Lakers superstar Davis was dunked by Rui Hachimura of the Wizards, losing all face.
Davis of the Lakers made 10 of 20 shots and scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was very comprehensive and he was gradually getting better.
Schroder had 13 points and 8 assists, Kuzma had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Drummond had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Harrell scored 12 points in 5 of 5, and Gasol still did not play.
The Lakers’ twin-tower combination experiment failed. Nong Mei and Zhuang Shen worked together for 4 games, and the two insiders only led the team to 1 win and 3 losses. Moreover, the two did not cooperate much in the game, and the Lakers’ offense tended to stagnate.
Davis and Drummond are incompatible, at least for now.
After the Lakers lost, this is the first bad news. Vogel needs to make changes. However, in an interview, Vogel said that he still trusts the current two-tower combination.
After Davis came back, everyone expected him to lead the Lakers to the top four in the Western Conference. However, the Lakers have a dismal record recently. They are 4.5 games behind the fourth Nuggets.
So, the Lakers don’t have home court advantage in the first round.
Moreover, the Lakers may fall out of the top 6 in the Western Conference, only 1.5 games ahead of the Mavericks and 2.5 games ahead of the Trail Blazers. The Lakers’ entry into the top 6 in the Western Conference is not stable.
Another bad news is that James’ comeback of the Lakers has been delayed.
According to previous reporter reports, James is likely to come back on May 1 or May 3 to play the Kings or the Raptors.
However, according to NBA reporter Kyle Goon, James is unlikely to complete his comeback within this week, that is to say, Lao Zhan will basically not play against the Kings or Raptors.
“James’ return to the Lakers has slowed down, but it has only been a week. If James’ ankle recovers well, he will return in one of the games against the Nuggets, Clippers or Trail Blazers next week.”
The Lakers have 8 games to play against the Kings, Raptors, Nuggets, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Suns, Knicks, Rockets, etc.
In addition to the Rockets, the Lakers are not sure to beat any other team.
After the Lakers lost to the Wizards, James left the game early, which is relatively rare. From this, it can be seen that James is really unhappy, and the thick eyebrows are also very depressed, sitting off the court and lost in thought.
Now it seems that the Lakers’ difficulties have not been resolved. After Drummond joined, it made the team’s prospects even more uncertain.
