A 109-106 game made the Lakers a laughing stock. James spoke up with frustration, and the probability of a comeback is less than 5%.

In the just-concluded NBA playoff focus game, the Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Houston Rockets 109-106 at home, and took a 3-1 lead in the series. As long as they win Game 5, they are expected to achieve a black 7 and complete the following score. After the game started, Stephen Curry was not in good shape, but Podjemski stood up and became the surprise player in the game, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the game. Although Jimmy Butler didn't have many mobile phones in the first half, he still helped the team very much in defense and organization. In the second half, Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, including five free throws at critical moments, and once again gave the Houston Rockets a fatal blow at critical moments. Although the Golden State Warriors still trailed 34-41 in rebounds, they made 17 three-pointers and hit 20 free throws, which helped the Golden State Warriors win at home successfully.

And with the Golden State Warriors leading 3-1, as another traffic troop in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers have become a laughing stock. Before the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers won the crazy playoff qualifiers in the West and won the third place in the West. Not only did they avoid the cruel showdown in the Western Conference playoff playoffs, but they also "draw" the Minnesota Timberwolves, a very "ideal" opponent. The outside world believes that the Los Angeles Lakers will easily advance to the second round.

In contrast, the Golden State Warriors came from the play-off life and death battle. Facing the Houston Rockets, the second young team in the West, it is generally believed that compared with the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors have problems such as older core players, less physical fitness, and single role players, so they are not optimistic about the prospects of the Golden State Warriors.

Now that the four games are over, the Los Angeles Lakers have fallen 1-3 to the edge of the cliff, while the Golden State Warriors are only one step away from advancing to the second round 3-1. The situations of the two teams are very different. According to BXR's prediction, the probability of the Lakers being eliminated in the first round is as high as 95%, while the probability of their reversal and promotion is less than 5%. This data makes the Los Angeles Lakers the team with the lowest probability of promotion in the first half.

What makes Los Angeles Lakers even more desperate is that since entering the 21st century, this is the fifth time that the Los Angeles Lakers have suffered a 1-3 behind. The Lakers have fallen behind 1-3 in the series four times, and they were all eliminated 1-4. Looking at the entire NBA history, the teams that were 1-3 behind in the series have a return rate of only 4.5%!

Although in the 2016 Finals, James led the Cavaliers to a 1-3 reversal and finally defeated the Warriors to win the championship, today's James is not the little emperor James 8 years ago. The Lakers face more and more difficult problems, and it is almost impossible to turn the tables. Obviously James has realized the seriousness of the problem, so he seemed a little frustrated in an interview: he admitted that he was worried about the team's lack of energy in the final quarter, believed that the team had made many mistakes that should not have been made, and refused to talk about the problem of turning around in 1-3, but he would focus on playing the next game well.

His speech is undoubtedly completely different from his previous confidence when he was lagging behind 1-2. Perhaps he knows that with the hopelessness of winning this season, his entire NBA career championship number may be frozen at 4.
