On December 24, the Lakers played the name "Staples" for the last time at home, they played against the Spurs, Staples farewell battle also came to a lot of celebrities, but unfortunately the Lakers lost to the Spurs by 28 points, suffered four consecutive losses, and could not end the team's 22 years in Staples with a win. In this game, the Lakers are behind most of the time, unable to prevent the opponent's attack, even if the Spurs' strength and ranking are not as good as the Lakers, they still play well. In this way, the Lakers suffered 4 consecutive losses, and the home stadium was officially renamed.
Today's game James cut 36 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, the last 4 games, although the Lakers have lost, but James can average 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game. James said after the game that "there was no chemistry in any of our squads because we didn't have enough time together. ”
At the same time, James also said: "We can improve the team's defense, but we need the help of teammates who are absent." All of our well-defended players triggered health and safety protocols. ”
James said it keeps players in and out, and the NBA has turned this part of the season into a "survival of the fittest" game.
Lakers acting coach Fitzdale praised James: "James masters the art of positionless basketball better than anyone in the league"
There is no doubt that the current Lakers are in turmoil, eating 4 consecutive losses, and their problem is not only that there is no thick eyebrow brother and Vogel without on-the-spot command, but also that the team as a whole has a big problem. Tactical use, player run-in, etc., this Lakers' performance so far this season has been disappointing.
Next, the Lakers will play against the Nets in the year-end war, the opponent ranks first in the East, but there is a big loss in personnel, so whether they can use this year-end war to win, end the losing streak, and sweep away the recent decline is very important for the Lakers.
