On July 10, Beijing time, Chris Geeter Mcgee, host of Spectrum SportsNet, a dedicated TV broadcaster for Lakers, answered questions about the warm-up matches in the Lakers' rematch schedule on Twitter today.
A fan asked if the Lakers' three warm-up matches would be broadcasted. The host replied: "Yes, I believe we will broadcast them for you on @SpectrumSportsNet... We will also do pre- and post-match programs for this."
According to the warm-up match schedule, the Lakers will play against the Mavericks on July 24, Beijing time, the Magic on the 26th, and the Wizards on the 28th. The Lakers' first regular season game against the Clippers will be held on July 31.
As the teams arrived in Orlando one after another, everyone also entered the busy stage of preparing for the rematch. Due to the previous suspension, in order to allow each team to find the feeling of the game, especially the teams that replenish fresh blood, to better run-in, the warm-up match plays an important role in this. However, since it is to find the feel and run-in the team, the viewing is not very strong. Most teams, especially those with the ability to compete for the championship, will inevitably choose a conservative way to deal with it.
Of course, being able to broadcast the warm-up match of the Purple and Gold Legion also shows the influence of the Lakers from another perspective. For Lakers fans, it has been too long since they waited for the Purple and Gold Army to re-establish the championship, and they are not willing to miss any game of the Lakers this season. Maybe James and Davis won’t play for too long, but they still hope to accompany the Lakers to step by step on the championship podium.
It is worth mentioning that before the suspension, the Lakers achieved a record of 49 wins and 14 losses, ranking first in the West, leading the Clippers in the same city by 5.5 wins. Lakers' official website reporter Mike Trudel wrote an article to analyze the team's rematch schedule. As long as the Lakers win 3 games in the remaining 8 regular season games, they will lock in the No. 1 position in the Western Conference.
Their future 8 opponents are the Clippers, Raptors, Jazz, Thunder, Rockets, Pacers, Nuggets and Kings. It is not too difficult to win 3 games. Perhaps more of the question is how to ensure that all members can enter the playoffs health, but also allow everyone to fully adjust, find the feeling of the game, and lay the foundation for the championship in the future. After all, both the Clippers and the Bucks have shown great strength in their lineup configuration and previous games. It is really unscrupulous to win the championship.
