The Lakers exposed three major drawbacks in the first 27 games Of the United States media: if you want to win, you must first do the details

The Lakers only won 14 wins and 13 losses in the first 27 games of the season, and the US media "Silverscreenandroll" believes that the Lakers need to start from small things if they want to win, and rebounding, card slots and control errors have become the three major directions that the team needs to improve.

Like many other teams, the Lakers have also suffered from injuries this season, they have used 252 sets of fivesomes, ranking third in the league, but in addition to the problem of injuries, the Lakers' own problems are also very serious, in some games, they could have easily won the game, but the team because of their repeated mistakes, gave up the lead to the opponent, thus losing some games that should not be lost, Lakers coach Vogel also described the team's performance as too arbitrary in interviews many times.

This season, the Lakers continue to lose control in rebounding, although there is no shortage of tall centers in the team, but the Lakers are still passive in terms of rebounding, they let the opponent play 27.2% offensive rebounding rate, which is the sixth worst in the league. In the last two games alone, the Lakers have lost 33 offensive rebounds, including 19 offensive rebounds for the Thunder, in fact, the Thunder are not a team that is good at rushing to rebound in the front court, their offensive rebounds are only ranked 23rd in the league.

There are usually multiple reasons for the disadvantage of protecting rebounds, there are technical limitations, there are also problems with the degree of effort of the team, sometimes, the Lakers players are not focused enough, they are remote from the basket, or they do not show a positive side when fighting for rebounds, but from a technical point of view, the Lakers' rebounding loss control is also directly related to their poor card position.

According to the data, the Lakers have completed a total of 149 defensive card slots, tied with the Thunder for the fourth-to-last in the league, and when it comes to the frequency of card slots, the Lakers are only 72.3%, ranking first in the NBA.

In many cases, the Lakers did not completely get stuck when rushing to grab the rebound, they just wanted to complete the fast down in the offensive and defensive conversion, rather than rushing the rebound in the right position. Of course, from the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers' rebounding problems and the configuration of the position are also related, and their height of the backcourt and flanks is short, resulting in no advantage when rushing for rebounds. When the Lakers put the thick eyebrow brother in the center position, the shortcomings of the lack of height on the flanks were further magnified, and their chances of letting opponents rush to the offensive rebound also rose from 27.2% to 27.7%. This puts more of a burden on non-inside players who need to wrestle with taller opponents.

Another flaw in the Lakers is turnovers, as they have made 434 turnovers this season, second in the league, to the Rockets. After 22 turnovers against the Grizzlies, James also admitted that mistakes killed the team.

The Lakers' large number of turnovers put opponents in seventh place in the frequency of switching offenses, and at the same time, they lost 446 points due to mistakes, ranking fourth in the league.

The Lakers' mistakes are varied, sometimes their passes are too lazy, sometimes they can't grasp the distance when looking for big men, always cross the control range of the inside line, from the age structure, the Lakers should be an experienced team, but they can't protect their balls.

The sooner the problem is discovered, the better it will be for the Lakers, and if it wants to continue to win, the team needs to do better in the details.
