Emperor Zhan has a high probability of playing magic! The Lakers are third in the league in difficulty with the rest of their schedule: the goal is to avoid the play-offs

On March 24, Beijing time, the Lakers officially updated the injury report against the Magic tomorrow. James is likely to play, Hachimura is doubtful, Kleber continues to be injured, and Bronny is already with the South Bay Lakers and will not play. The Lakers rank third in the league in difficulty in their remaining 12 games, and for them, the challenge is ahead.

Medical expert Jeffries said it was good to see that James didn't have any recurring. But I'm quite worried about Hachimura's future because he feels like he's only 70 to 80 percent recovered. He still feels pain during most movements and has to deal with this problem in the subsequent process.

The Lakers lost to the Bulls by 31 points in their last game, and the Lakers' defense ranks fourth in the league since Jan. 16. The team agreed that they lost the game because of poor defensiveness, poor communication and poor execution. Redick claims that whether they can return to their previous level of defense, and how quickly they can do so, will determine where they go this season.

"It's going to make or break us for the next three weeks," Redick said of the team's defense, "and if we want to secure a playoff spot, that's going to determine whether we succeed." ”

The Lakers didn't have much time to bask in the loss, as they embark on another four-game road trip against the Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies. They left for Orlando today.

According to Tankathon, the Lakers rank third in the league in the difficulty of the remaining schedule. Of the remaining 12 matches, eight are played away. They also have three back-to-back games and the availability of a number of players is expected to remain unclear in those games. Eight of the last 12 games were against the top eight teams in the East and West.

"We have 12 games left to fight ourselves for a good place in the playoffs," James said, "and if we can win games and not have to play the play-offs, then we're basically in control of our own destiny." ”

Redick has repeatedly stressed that the Lakers' goal is to finish in the top 6 in the West and avoid the play-in tournaments, which they have played in three of the last four seasons. To avoid that, Redick made it clear that the Lakers need to play with a sense of urgency and focus on getting back to the magical form they were in before injuries interrupted the team's momentum.

"You've got to get back in shape," Redick said, "but we don't have much time to do that." Even now, you can't wait another week, you can't wait another two weeks. The Orlando Magic must be studied right away. ”
