With the Lakers losing 101:106 to the Trail Blazers , their ranking has dropped to seventh in the Western Conference. This ranking is very dangerous for the Lakers. Because according to the current rankings, they are going to play the play-offs. For a play-off game that determines the outcome, the Lakers have reached a precarious point.
In the second half of this season, the Ancients suffered serious injuries. One of the team's core players, Anthony Davis, has been sidelined for nearly two months with an injury. The house leak happened to rain overnight. After Davis was injured, another core player of the team, LeBron James, also suffered serious injury problems. So far, the two have missed a combined 58 games this season. In the seasons over the years, no core team has ever missed so many games and won a championship.
As the defending champion, the Lakers were the favorites to win this season. However, the current Lakers have almost no hope of winning the championship. After a two-game losing streak, their regular-season standings have dropped to seventh in the Western Conference. In addition, LeBron James' injury is still unclear. According to the reporter's report, even if James comes back, it is very likely that his state cannot be restored to 100%. In addition, Schroeder is still in quarantine because of violating epidemic prevention regulations. The Lakers are already facing an embarrassing situation with no one available.
For the Lakers, the team's current predicament is not one person can solve. Originally, the Lakers team won the championship last season because relied on dual-core, but now one of the dual-core is in poor condition, and the other has not come back.However, the good news is that Anthony Davis has recovered in recent games. In the game against the Blazers, Anthony Davis even scored 36+12 terrible data, which is what the Lakers need in the future. .
With James back next week, the team's regular-season tour is drawing to a close. If they can't get into the top six smoothly, then in the face of the cruel competition system of the play-offs, the Lakers need more superstars to play. Anthony Davis proved against the Blazers that he's still the top player in this league, and that's what the playoffs need. What kind of state LeBron James will have after his comeback still needs to be practiced by games.
For the Lakers, after falling to seventh, if the team wants to win the championship again, may have little chance of , unless there is another miracle like the 16-year Cavaliers finals. After all, in addition to playing in the playoffs, they will face powerful opponents in the first round of the playoffs , which is probably the last thing they want to see for the Lakers whose lineup has not yet been run in. . The Lakers' frequent injury problems this season may make this season's efforts in vain .
