118-129, the Lakers lost again, they lost to the Nuggets, suffered six consecutive losses, to enter the playoffs, only the theoretical possibility. In this game, James was absent due to injury, in fact, the Lakers' season has ended early, and the whole team may have only one goal, that is, James's scoring king. According to the rules, in the next 4 games, James will have to play 2 games to qualify for the selection, and he must also get enough points.
The Lakers have lost consecutive games to the Pelicans, which also means that they have lost the opportunity to play off, for the Lakers, facing the Nuggets, Thunder, Warriors, Suns and Nuggets in a row, if they want to really qualify for the playoffs, they can only win consecutively, and they have to wait for the opponent to make a mistake. Such a situation is difficult, not to mention that the Lakers are a losing streak. James still has injuries, which is also a problem.
Against the Nuggets, it can be seen that the Lakers really tried their best, thick eyebrows and Wei Shao led the team to fight very hard, but in the absence of James, facing Jokic, the Lakers still could not win, they eventually lost the game, suffered 6 consecutive losses. This result is not very surprising, because the gap between the Lakers and the Nuggets is still obvious. So with the Spurs and Pelicans playing, the Lakers are really dangerous.
In the future, the Lakers still have 4 games, the opponents are the Suns, Warriors, Thunder and Nuggets, of which the strength of the Suns and Nuggets is very strong, the Warriors recently although there is no Curry, but can also win, only the strength of the Thunder is very weak. James has to play at least 2 games and get enough points to keep the title of scoring king, so how he will play in the next 4 games is also a point to watch. In fact, playing warriors and Thunder, it may be easier to score.
So for the Lakers and James, what does the future hold? O'Neal's suggestion is to trade away others other than Zhan Mei, but I would like to say that it is really a pity for Anthony, this season, the state is actually good, but unfortunately in the Lakers, it still failed to achieve the ideal goal.
