On February 17, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game ended today, Lakers defeated Jazz 106-101 at home, ending a bad three-game losing streak. Although it is worthy of happiness to win, Thick Eyebrow seriously sprained her ankle in the game, and finally left the game diluted the joy of a few points of victory. According to the latest news, the Lakers should be ready to not Thick Eyebrow for a long time.
According to the latest news, the X-ray of the Davis was negative and he will be evaluated again after the All-Star holiday ends. It is reported that Davis is scheduled to undergo an MRI tomorrow. After the game, sources said Davis is expected to be out for at least two weeks due to a sprained right ankle. Sources revealed that after Davis suffered a sprain, he quickly developed severe swelling symptoms on his right ankle.
talks about how the team deals with Anthony Davis may be out of the future after suffering a sprained right ankle, Vogel said: "We want to win until he returns. We can't complain, we don't know how long he will be absent, but we want to win more games in the final stage and believe in the lineup we have. Hope we can get a well-staffed roster as soon as possible, and it seems that hope for the whole season will be. If we keep healthy, keep the lineup. If we keep healthy, keep the lineup. Completely, we have a strong belief in our lineup. We only need to try to win more games during his absence. "
From Vogel's words, we can clearly feel that the Lakers have been prepared to be absent for a long time. This is undoubtedly a very bad and worrying situation. The Lakers' current record ranking is not optimistic. Without the help of Davis, the pressure on James and Westbrook will be greater, especially the problems in the inside of the Lakers will be more serious. But luckily, in today's game, the Lakers also seem to have found some solution, that is, to add to Howard more.
After the Thick Brow retreated, Vogel chose to let Howard, who had not played for a minute in the first half, played in the 11 minutes of the second half, Howard made 1 of 3 shots and scored 4 points and 5 rebounds, including 2 frontcourt rebounds. It can be clearly felt that when Howard was on the court, although his data was average, the defensive end was still good. The Lakers' frame protection has obviously improved, and rebounds have more guarantees. The turning point of the Lakers in this game was actually because Howard played in a certain way.
Therefore, with Howard's existence, the Lakers' defense in the second half became significantly better, and even James noticed this. Speaking of the team's reversal and victory in the fourth quarter, James said: "It is the intensity of defense. Pay attention to details and have the ability to attack their defense. It is to try to make good use of some of their defensive strategies. They are a strong defensive team, which may be due to the existence of Rudy ( Gobert ). However, we kept the ball transfer, everyone entered a good rhythm, and we were able to defend on the defensive end to many rounds."
Although the Lakers' defense improvement in the second half was not the credit of Howard alone, it must be admitted that Howard's appearance helped the Lakers stabilize the situation and gave them a certain chance to breathe from the dilemma of losing Dark Brows. At the same time, it can be seen that Howard has helped the Lakers very much, but Vogel has been unwilling to reuse him this season, and even kept barely trying to play against the center, which eventually led to continuous injuries to the Black Eyebrow.
Therefore, in this game, Howard slapped Vogel with his performance in the face again, and at the same time, it also made people realize that Howard still has oil. He can help Thunder Brow carry the inside and reduce Thunder Brow consumption. If the Lakers want to go further this season, they must protect Thunder Brow in the inside and should not let him fight in the fifth position. Think about it carefully, if Vogel asked Howard to play center from the beginning, maybe Thunder Brow would not be injured in this game.
