The regular season of this season is coming to an end, and the competition in the Western Conference play-offs has become fierce. There is only one victory between the 7th and 12th. In the remaining 7 to 10 games of each team, the rankings may be reshuffled at any time.Among them, Los AngeleslakersThe recent 2-game winning streak allowed them to temporarily rise to No. 9 again.
The rise of Austin Reaves relieved the team of the lack of an offensive engine. His passing vision has always been ignored in the past. In recent games, he has even fully demonstrated his excellent destructive ability to create fouls. Reeves handed in an excellent transcript of 18.5 points, 5.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and only 1.8 turnovers in March, becoming an important force for the Lakers to fight for the playoffs.
Even so, the recent state of the Lakers is roughly ranked 9th to 12th. Even if Reeves jumped out in surprise and boosted the team’s momentum, the plight of the Lakers on the edge of the playoffs is not so simple. pass.Strange to say, according to foreign media reports a few days ago, the Lakers have a high degree of confidence that the team can beat the team in the playoffs.gold bullionGrizzlies and other top Western Conference teams.
seriously, injames(LeBron James) Before returning, entering the play-offs was a problem. Where did the Lakers have the confidence to pass the first round of the play-offs and aim at the leading group in the Western Conference?
If the Lakers really break through the playoffs, indavis(Anthony Davis) maintains the high-end performance of averaging 26.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 hot pots in March, and with the return of LeBron James and Russell (D’Angelo Russell), Reeves, Beasley and others, a single game is more important. Winning the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and even the Suns with Kevin Durant on board is possible.
But to say that the Lakers won the series and defeated the top Western Conference team with a high record throughout the season, it can only be said that dreams have everything. In theory, it would be very, very difficult if there were no surprises in the series.
Even three days ago, the leading Nuggets in the Western Conference were still in a state of losing five of their six games. Even the head star Nikola Jokic admitted frankly that facing the upcoming playoffs, such a recent situation really needs to start worrying.
But after all, the toughness of the Nuggets throughout the season is obvious to all. The team quickly adjusted back to the second-game winning streak, and was 3.5 games ahead of the second and third Grizzlies. Among the five players with a total plus-minus total of 400 this season, the Nuggets have arranged four of them. This is a powerful performance of a well-coordinated team, and it is by no means a superstar like Jokic. .
If the Lakers want to stage a playoff game below the playoffs, the depth of the bench and the performance of players other than James and Davis are the primary keys. After all, the facts have proved that the partnership of this duo alone cannot reach the top in the current league ecology.
The Lakers currently have 9 regular-season games left, of which the 5-game away game from Chicago all the way back to Los Angeles is the decisive factor for entering the play-offs. The Lakers, who have an away win rate of 44% this season, will encounter the Timberwolves, Jazz, and Clippers who are also striving for a place in the playoffs in these five games. In addition to the Rockets’ inferior combat power, the two consecutive battles against the Bulls may not be easy.
Furthermore, the Lakers lost both home and away games against the Jazz this season, with a loss of -18 points. The two sides still have two games to play.
As for the civil war in the same city, the Clippers won all 3 games, averaging 12.3 points per game over the Lakers. In addition, although the Lakers have just ended their 9-game losing streak against the Suns, this is the Suns without Ayton (Deandre Ayton) and Durant. They also lost the Suns by 18 points in the previous two games. Judging from the previous home and away game statistics, the Lakers really need the right time and place to enter the playoffs safely.
The Lakers’ offensive firepower is okay, and the rebounding transition is also good, but most of them rely on the star’s single-point to two or three players to play in tandem. This will really eat the playoffs. What kind of star value can explode? hierarchy. The number of assists and the quality of the outside line of the Lakers team are all deviated, which shows the level of conduction organization, and the team rotation cannot find effective open shooting opportunities.
More importantly, once faced with the offensive abnormality of the scorched-earth battle in the playoffs, the Lakers, who lack a tough defensive system, will find it difficult to win.
Looking at the upcoming schedule that is not easy to mess with, the Lakers have no capital to relax, and they may have to force James to come back early to support. At this time, the Lakers reported that the goal of winning the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and even the Suns in the playoffs is very good, but it is a bit too unrealistic at this stage.
