Looking at the Lakers' most advanced preseason game, let’s express my feelings!
1. James still has fuel in his fuel tank and his control is relatively stable. Unless there is an injury or a big deal or a coaching change, the Lakers shouldn't make the playoffs.
2, Wei Shao is an extremely slow player, he is not lack of strength, nor is it due to the decline of injury age, but his ability and talent doomed him to take a long break-in time, regular The first half of the game may not look good, but it is not hopeless.
3. thick eyebrow dominance at the basket is still good, but the threat of long-range shots declines, this team still has a certain degree of competitiveness as long as there is no injury, but if the continuous injury affects the running-in, this team It's really possible that the team won't make it to the playoffs, or a round of playoffs.
4. The Lakers have lost a large number of defensive talents, and most of the players who have strengthened are unable to defend, but the basic eyebrows are still there. James will also point out some physical assistance. The main problem is that the team has more colanders and lack of running-in. , The defense will decline significantly, but can pick up later.
5. The Lakers are in a very contradictory state. If you want to strengthen the run-in and offense, you must play small, but due to the height size, this lineup is very defensive. If you want to defend, you must play the big guy, but it drags the space. The problem lies in the lack of a striker who is tall enough to defend well. When the thick eyebrows hit 5, James played 4, and the height of the 3rd position was not enough. James played 3 and only Anthony in the fourth position. It was too slow and the defense was not enough. It will be better when Ariza comes back. .
6. Regarding the 13 season, in addition to running-in problems and depth of the lineup, the main problems were injuries and coaching changes. D'Antoni was not familiar with the Lakers, Kobe Howard was not suitable for bombardment. Player, and Nash played more than a dozen games on injury,Howard also suffered a back injury, and the Lakers performed well in those dozen games.
7. Although it is difficult, we firmly believe in the Lakers championship.
In my opinion, the most serious problem for the Lakers is injury. Other problems are not as serious as the lineup or running-in. A bunch of veterans can't withstand a large-scale injury wave at all. Several young people are beginning to hurt, I don't think this is a good sign.
