5 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 1 assist!
This is the data that Howard handed over in today's Lakers and Magic game. Today he got 23 minutes of playing time, which is really somewhat reused compared to the previous game.
Warcraft eventually repaid Vogel's trust with his performance perfectly. Although the ability of the Warcraft on the offensive end has long been incomparable with the peak, the contribution on the defensive end is visible to the naked eye. Even if sometimes the other side will catch the monster and prevent it, to target the block, but in the current Lakers lineup, no one in the center position is more suitable for defense than him.
As we mentioned before, thick eyebrows are actually unwilling to spend more time playing in the center position. It's a bit tiring to play a whole quarter like that, and it's easy to get injured in the center position.
In fact, the season when the Lakers won the championship was a good experience, and the combination of Warcraft and thick eyebrows to go to the town to guard the basket will create a lot of pressure on the opponent. Both men's height and arm span and defensive experience can effectively help the team.
In terms of the current Lakers' roster, Howard is really a very important role player. We have always praised James's protection of the body, and I have to say that in order to adapt to the current NBA, the Warcraft is also very good at protecting his body, he deliberately reduced his weight in order to be able to expand his defensive area, and in the small-ball era, the center must be able to defend the outside line to be popular.
In fact, Warcraft also understands very well, and there is his attitude towards the game, as long as he plays, he will work hard to play. In previous competitions, he would also go to practice alone. At its peak, Warcraft would still be targeted by opponents and would be used by opponents to use foul tactics to limit him, but now Warcraft has higher stability at the end of the free throw and has increased its shooting rate a lot.
Indeed, the Lakers have a certain advantage in playing a small lineup, thick eyebrows to play five, James to play four, plus melon, Westbrook or Munch and other people, the Lakers' height is not a loss, and this lineup has a certain shooting ability. When playing a big lineup, Warcraft and Little Jordan are also good choices.
The reason why the Lakers have not performed well this season is because of their chemistry. The players are still adapting to each other, and the coach has not found the best set of lineups to come out. All in all, Howard must be a good addition to the Lakers, and I hope Vogel can try again, maybe it will have a different effect.
Thanks also to Thick Brow, after he was injured, the Beast got such an opportunity. Hopefully, after the return of thick eyebrows, this Lakers can get better. Old Zhan can still fight, and the soul of the Lakers is still there. As for whether you can win the championship in the end, it remains to be seen!
