Frank Vogel, head coach of the Lakers, said that James would participate in all the training of the team, but did not officially disclose his current physical condition. "We did some exploratory work, we did some mixed training, we did short-term training and complete training, and he participated in all this." Vogel said. According to sources, James went to see an ankle specialist last week. He has made great progress in training on the court and has no "severe pain" as mentioned before. According to sources, it was difficult for James to make big moves not long ago. Lakers center Mark Gasol is calm. He didn't say much about James. Gasol said, "He's here. He has been playing basketball. He was shot several times. " The Lakers are very cautious about James' injury and are unwilling to take any risks, even in the playoffs. James pulled a groin strain and missed many games. The Lakers are currently ranked seventh in the West, one game behind the sixth Trailblazer. They will play back-to-back against Knicks and Rockets at home and Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans away.

The schedule is very tight. The Lakers will raise their 2020 championship flag on the night of the game against the Rockets, and about 3,000 fans are expected to attend. This season, the Lakers' record is 28- 15 when James plays, and 10- 15 when James doesn't play. After the tough loss to the Suns, the Lakers did not relax at all. They started training early this morning. In addition to some routine tactical training, vogel also specially arranged the whole team to conduct full-court confrontation training to help some players find their state as soon as possible. In training, James was also assigned to the main team with Davis and drummond. Although it is just an ordinary training class, Lao Zhan still attaches great importance to it. In the face of defense, James accelerated the breakthrough many times and made a wonderful layup against Gasol's blocked shot. It can be seen that his state has recovered well. Come back! James participated in confrontation training, broke through domineering with one leg and fully recovered. Once James can recover, the Lakers will once again welcome their strongest lineup.

At present, the only thing that worries the team is the little black Schroeder. Because I don't know his personal situation, according to the safety and epidemic prevention regulations of the league, he needs to miss many more games. If he can't make the playoffs, it will be a big loss for the Lakers. Judging from the current ranking, it is difficult for the Lakers to catch up with the pioneers in front. They are likely to play in the play-offs as the seventh place in the West. Considering that the overall strength of the Warriors, Grizzlies and Spurs behind them is far from that of the Lakers, it should not be a problem for the Lakers to get the seventh place in the West. Come back! James participated in the confrontation training, supported the domineering breakthrough with one leg, and fully recovered. Through the game with the Suns, we can see that if all the Lakers can stay healthy, their competitiveness should not be underestimated.

In Davis' view, his lethality on the offensive end and ubiquitous coverage on the defensive end are already the most comprehensive players in the league at present. Although James is one year older than last year, he also took the opportunity of ankle injury to rest for a whole month some time ago, so there should be no physical problem. As long as James and Davis can play steadily, with the help of their puzzled pick-and-roll and the steady play of outside shooters, even if the Lakers slip to the eighth place in the West, we have reason to believe that they can perform the Black Eight miracle.
