What's going on with the Lakers' full efforts to win the first victory?
Since the start of this season, the Lakers have lost to the Warriors, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Nuggets and Timberwolves in succession, and have suffered five consecutive losses, becoming the only team that has not won. For the current Lakers, striving for the first win has become an urgent task.
So the question is, how likely is the Lakers to defeat the Nuggets? Objectively speaking, the possibility is not high. There are two main reasons: , first, the Lakers are injured continuously, and the main star Davis is suspected of playing due to back injury, Schroder and Thomas Bryant are both still recovering due to finger injuries. In contrast, among the main rotation players, only Pope is absent due to ankle injury. It can be seen that the Nuggets are a healthier and more dynamic team.
2: In terms of the offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency of measuring the team's offensive and defensive strength, although the Lakers' defensive efficiency ranks second in the league, reaching 103.8; , the offensive efficiency value is only 96.2, ranking first to the bottom in the league. The Nuggets performed particularly well, ranking 13th in offensive efficiency and 22nd in defensive efficiency. Based on this, if the Lakers want to win, they need to improve their offensive performance while relying on defense, such as shooting percentage.
Why do you say that the Warriors are expected to avoid two consecutive losses?
The reason why the Warriors are expected to avoid two consecutive losses is three main reasons: First, the Warriors' overall strength is stronger than the Pistons' . For example, the Pistons ranked below the 25th place in the league in offensive and defensive efficiency. In other words, the Pistons' offensive and defensive strength is a "bottom" team.
2: Since the start of this season, the Warriors have ended the six games since the start of the season, forming an "interesting rule". means that the winners and losses alternately appear . So since the Warriors lost to the Hornets in the last game, should we win this game?
is the most important point. Even in back-to-back games, the main players of the Warriors, including Curry and Poole , all want to play against the Pistons. It is not difficult to see that the Warriors have a strong desire to win, so it will be no problem to win the Pistons as long as they perform normally.
The last thing I want to ask is, do you think the Lakers can win the first victory of the season? Can the Warriors avoid two consecutive losses? Welcome to interact and communicate below!
