is nearly three weeks away. In fact, it is already polarizing. The Wizards and Pistons and are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Grizzlies and Timberwolves are at the bottom of the Western Conference without Morant. However, as the schedule deepens, Lakers Back to the first position in the Western Conference, the first 11 games, 8 wins and 3 losses, the games that should be won, all successfully won, this is the biggest victory. In fact, let me say that the Lakers are facing a lot of crises now. Many teams in the league have regarded the Lakers as a living target on the road to winning. Look at the reinforcements of the Clippers during the offseason, specifically for the forwards, and Bucks , Signed a group of strikers who can attack and defend. The Lakers want to win, but it's not easy.
James attended 11 games this season. I remember that Danny Green said during the offseason that if James missed the first month of the game, he would not be surprised. Yes, we are not surprised. But now that James does not rest at all, we are very surprised! He is 36 years old, doesn't he know tired? This season, he averaged 32.5 minutes per game, able to get 24 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists. The two shooting percentages were 48.5% and 34.8%. From playing time to data, they were basically the same as last season. The Lakers are really afraid that James' truce will affect the regular season's record? No, I feel more like Lao Zhan is making his own decision.
After the big win over Rockets , Lao Zhan talked about the team’s goal for the new season: "We want to be the best defensive team in the league." Evaluation of the thick eyebrow: "The thick eyebrow is still the unstoppable thick eyebrow, he is for us The continuous road trip has made a good start." Speaking of Tucker: "He performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense. He is good at listening. He is like a sponge. He is constantly absorbing and growing." Lao Zhan played 30 minutes, 7 of 15, scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. He scored 15 points in the first half. In the third quarter, he was playing soy sauce and nearly knocked over the soy sauce bottle.
wants me to say, Lao Zhan is too responsible! After Schroder made the start, his shooting percentage, including efficiency, was not high. He wanted to share Lao Zhan’s organizational pressure. The effect was really not good. We will not discuss this point. And Lao Zhan also acquiesced to Schroder to take on more responsibility for the game, and the premise of acquiescence was that in the fourth quarter, he and his thick eyebrows carried the offensive banner and took away the game. This is true of playing Grizzlies and the Spurs. In fact, Lao Zhan's efficiency is still very high, the assist rate is the top ten in the league, and the game contribution value is sixth in the league, but he and the thick eyebrow also made sacrifices for Schroder. In addition, he is worried that the team's poor running-in effect will lead to losses, so Lao Zhan will often start full fire from the second quarter, just to leave enough room for the team to make mistakes behind.
But the improvement of the Lakers role players is clearly visible! Tucker played 10 games this season, averaging 16.9 minutes per game, able to get 8.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. The two shooting percentages are 48.4% and 36.4%. When Tucker is facing the Rockets. In the team, after the baptism of last season, everyone saw his growth. He was 7 of 8 in the game, easily scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. After stealing Gordon , he counterattacked dunks, 45 degree angle. Three points, what is there to worry about Lao Zhan? Tucker can now be entrusted with more tactical status, he deserves the Lakers to focus on training!
and Kuzma have averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game this season. Compared with the previous season, the data has fallen back, but the efficiency has improved! Kuzma’s and shooting rate reached 38.2%. In Pope’s truce, Kuzma can play at position 2. When Davis truce, Kuzma can play at position 4. Lao Zhan goes to rest. Kuzma can also play the 3rd position, does not stick the ball, and has a positive attitude. Even if the number of shots drops, his contribution is still there. He should also get more opportunities to show in the regular season. Like Pope, his three-point shooting percentage is close to 50%, and Schroeder and Harrell’s data have not reached the level of last season, so this Laker still has a lot of potential to tap, Lao Zhan put his heart in his stomach. ! For an unsuitable example, if you replace James with Leonard, with the current configuration, maybeLeonard can take a break in certain games.
Lao Zhan is still the first person in this league, there is no doubt about this. He wanted to let the thick eyebrow take over. After the experience last season, the thick eyebrow proved himself. Even though he had averaged 22 points per game and played the Rockets before, when he broke out, he was obliged to beat Wood almost on his own, telling Wood what a real Davis is! So now the biggest worry for the Lakers coach Vogel lies in this. How to give more time to role players and how to reduce the physical consumption of James and Davis in the regular season? How to occupy a more favorable position in the ranking?
Lakers fans ridicule: The No. 23 rookie saw that he played so badly in the second half, and he consciously slipped to the bench and made room for the tower king. He was very self-knowing, and the ruts could teach. It’s a joke. To be honest, Lao Zhan doesn’t have to worry about the results at all now. He doesn’t have to worry about the results of the regular season. With James, there is absolutely no doubt about the team cohesion, and the second is that everyone is trying to show themselves. It also takes more time and a bigger stage. The next schedule for the Lakers is very difficult. The Rockets and Thunder are back to back, followed by the Pelicans and Warriors . After playing these four opponents, they will start the Eastern Tour: Bucks, Bulls , Cavaliers, 76ers Pistons back to back, Celtics, Eagles, 11 games in 21 days! That thirty-year-old man, hurry up and take a rest. Now the Lakers don’t need you. Just stay there and watch the Tawang performance!
