Preface
The current situation of the Los Angeles Lakers is very dangerous. Today, they played against the Blazers James did not play, lost 36+12, and still lost to the Blazers who competed for sixth place, The situation for the Lakers is really embarrassing! Why is
so awkward? Because now the league has introduced a play-off system, the 7th and 8th places will compete for the playoffs, and the 9th and 10th will also compete for the playoffs. Although many players in the league oppose this system, it is indeed introduced, and each team has to abide by it. Now that the Lakers have dropped to No. 7, they are facing the possibility of playing in the playoffs, and if they are not careful, they will be eliminated from the playoffs.
introduces 15+12 internal lines, can it really be improved? After the trade deadline, the Cleveland Cavaliers bought out the rebounding madman, Drummond, who also chose to join the Los Angeles Lakers and wanted to compete for the championship. When he joined the Lakers, he averaged data of 16.5+12.5+2+1.5+1.5. Judging by the data, he is definitely a top center, but is his actual role really that big? not necessarily.
Drummond is a typical player with more data than and . His data is indeed very gorgeous, but its actual effect may not be too great.
Looking at a player can not only look at the data, but also need to look at his intrinsic value to the team , now Drummond is a typical player with low intrinsic value.
Up to now Drummond can get 15+12 data, but he is still potentially dangerous.what is it then?
According to statistics, Drummond has to get 6 fouls in 36 minutes on the court, which shows that his defense is not very rational. Although he averages 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, he often loses money. For fouls, opponents are often sent to the free throw line to score, which is not reflected in the data.
So the signing of Drummond by the Lakers did not bring about a great improvement, but just got a rotating player, not a "giant" player. The Lakers have only two real giants, that is Davis and James.
It's time for Vogel to reflect!
Coach Vogel has been very accustomed to using Drummond since he joined the Lakers, but is this really good? Drummond is a player whose absolute data is greater than his actual strength. Frequent use of Drummond means that Harrell and Gasol Jr. have been buried in snow to a certain extent, which is not good news for the Lakers.
Vogel wants to make Drummond play his worth , but after the observation of these few games, Drummond is not suitable for the starter of the Lakers. He occupies a lot of space in the interior. It is too big, affecting James and Thick Eyebrow's offense in the interior.
Think about it, when Nongmei turned around when he was attacking with his back to the basket, he saw , Zhuangshen, and other inside players fighting under the basket, which would reduce his attacking space. And James also needs his teammates to open up the space to break through. Zhuang Shen has no shooting ability at all.
Pau Gasol recently proved himself in these few games, and Woo Shuai has gradually restored his playing time. After all, he has 3 points , passing and defense, which is absolutely needed by the Lakers .
It's time to enable positive and negative values +31 internal beast !
Pau Gasol does have his playing time, but Harrell has really been hidden since Drummond arrived!
Harrell is a player with his own strength. He averaged 18.6+7.1+1.7+1.1 per game in Clippers last year, hit rate was as high as 58%, and won the best sixth man award. Is
Drummond's actual role really bigger than Harrell? I don't think so. Harrell's offensive ability is unmatched by Drummond. Drummond's shooting percentage is only 47%, while Harrell is much higher than him, and he is more able to seize offensive opportunities than the former. So, Coach Vogel should use Harrell as an inside beast.
4 In April, Harrell's plus-minus value was as high as +31. If his playing time was further limited, his heart would be chilled. After all, he joined the Lakers with a pay cut at that time. The annual salary of the best sixth man was only 9 million. Worth and winning the championship, but now he has been abandoned directly, this is definitely not his ideal state.
After Zhuang Shen came, the team's winning percentage did not increase but instead decreased. It can also be seen from this that his ability is not as strong as the fans imagined. If Harrell is given a certain amount of the ball, his data may even be stronger than Drummond, especially in terms of scoring, Harrell is definitely a master of interior offense, and the vitality he brings to the team is also Drummond. De can't do it.
Conclusion: The Lakers lineup needs to look at the opponent and use
In fact, Drummond, Pau Gasol and Harrell have advantages and disadvantages. Coach Vogel should look at who the opponent is inside, so as to consider which inside player to use. For example, against the Nuggets , putting Gasol on is definitely better than Drummond. Therefore, in the playoffs, it is still necessary to test Wo Shuai's ability to employ people.Last year, he played , Nuggets and pushed Howard to play, while and rockets with poor inside lineup abandoned Howard, which is enough to reflect Vogel's talent in employing people.
I believe that the Lakers will break through this year. Although there are many difficulties now, the rainbow will only be met after the storm!
