The Lakers fell to 6th place in the West, and the center was injured again and will be out for 2-3 weeks! The pressure on the thick eyebrows is even greater

The Lakers have been really hard lately. There has been a sharp decline in the number of players who can play healthily, and there has been a further reduction in the number of players who can play healthy. Four days ago against the Suns, Hayes was injured after a dunk, still a non-contact injury, and then returned to the locker room, the kind that was very worried that he had suffered a torn ligament and would have to rest for at least a month.

Today, well-known journalist Shams said that Hayes was diagnosed with an ankle sprain and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

The injury was out for 2-3 weeks, but it was actually fine, not more than a month. However, the Lakers are already short of interior personnel, and Wood has not recovered from his injury for more than half a year, so the pressure has all come to the thick eyebrows alone.

Thick eyebrows have also played quite unhappily recently, and in the last 4 games, 3 have been below 20 points. For a period of time after the start of the season, he was firmly at the top of the league's scoring list, with 30+ games, but now his role on the court has decreased, and many times the ball cannot be given to him at all.

The Lakers' team-high scoring average in two consecutive games was rookie Knecht, and James entered perhaps the biggest slump in recent years. James has also scored below 20 points in four consecutive games.

The last time James scored less than 20 in four consecutive games was in 2003-04, and rookie James had three consecutive games under 20 in four games, and that was 21 years ago. James suffered a serious ankle injury in the 2020-21 season, having been below 20 for three consecutive games, but was sidelined for 20 games in between. January 2016 also saw a slump in three consecutive games with scores below 20.

In the last 5 games, the Lakers have only won 1 win and 4 losses. During this period, the Lakers' offensive and defensive efficiency were both 8th from the bottom in the league, and their net efficiency of -9.7 ranked 4th from the bottom in the league. The Lakers' overall record came to 11-8, and the Lakers were originally ranked third in the West, but now they have fallen to sixth in the West.

James' performance on the court side has seen a visible decline recently, and after shutting down social platforms, he has played mediocre and even disastrous performances in every game. James said that he has a goal of 82 games of full attendance this season, and the will is good, but full attendance often only belongs to young people, 40-year-old you, you are the oldest player in the league, you still have to recognize your physical fitness, and you can only serve the old.

I don't know if there's something wrong with the team, we're not sure. I don't know if he was unhappy off the field, and we don't know. Back on the pitch, you have to put your heart and soul into it.

More, I think it's a psychological problem, James's previous performance of consecutive triple-doubles, without injury, suddenly fell so badly, it's a bit unscientific.

Everyone is used to his heroic appearance of turning the tide, so as long as he plays like the real level of "a 40-year-old player", he is not used to it, he is unfamiliar with him, and even has a lot of sarcasm and abuse against him.

It's good to have those voices that let James rest, after all, I don't want him to be so tired, I hope he will bounce back and stay on the court with vitality. But some fans said that James would retire immediately, would Lao Zhan himself be sad when he heard this?

Is it that James has been playing so mediocre and so bad, we will get used to it and get used to it, it turns out that this is what a 40-year-old player should look like. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how bad the fight is, you can't lose your spirit. I'm sure James will adjust.
