On December 13, Beijing time, after the Los Angeles Lakers won, there was once again a major good news, James is about to usher in an airborne strong reinforcement, and the Lakers' lineup will be unprecedentedly terrifying.
Just after this victory, the Lakers' well-known reporter and James's royal reporter Dave-Mcmenamin brought another big news, 24 hours later, Ariza, who has been away from the team's lineup for a long time, is about to usher in the most important step in his comeback, and the Lakers will soon greet their last piece of the championship puzzle.
Dave-Mcmenamin brought a new confirmation that from December 14, Ariza will officially join the Lakers' subordinate team, the South Bay Lakers, and participate in the training of this team. And with him to train with the team is expected to have Rondo and Bazemore, along with Ariza officially announced that he will go to the Lakers' subordinate team to train, which means that this new season a direct injury to the core forwards for 8 weeks without playing, not long before the official return.
Ariza was injured at the beginning of the season and did not play a single game, but now that the first month of the new season has passed a long time ago, his recovery from the injury will take about 8 weeks, as the media estimates. But he has been in the personal recovery stage before, never been able to train with the team, and now Ariza has been able to go to the Blue Bay Lakers for training, which is the biggest evidence and the best news that he is about to return.
Not only did the team win, but the news came that Ariza had officially gone to join the Lakers' subordinate teams, and he would start training and recovery at the Lakers, and it was definitely getting closer and closer to his return. The first step in announcing the return of any seriously injured player is to send him down to the development league and let him experience the intensity of the development league first, so only by taking this step can we rest assured that a wounded player is about to return, and now Ariza has ushered in this good news.
This player can be said to be Vogel's last fig leaf and the Lakers' last piece of the puzzle. When Ariza returns, the Lakers' biggest shortcoming will be made up, that is, their front line defense problem. Now with James and Anthony, the Lakers' forward attack has no problem, but because the team is more of a small lineup, James often has to appear in the No. 4 position or even the No. 5 position, then the Lakers' forward line is not enough.
Sometimes they've even had to force the three-back team to get Westbrook, Munch and Ellington together, and the defense was completely gone, and it was all about the offense to win. But winning two teams is after all the thunder and magic of the top big blue team, so the Lakers want to regain the front line defense, can only look forward to the return of Ariza, let the Kobe brothers and the former Lakers champion members hurry back, with him on top of the No. 3 position, he and Anthony can at least form a frontal rotation, so that James can rest assured to play the No. 4 position, and even the No. 5 position of the small ball lineup is not a problem.
And the Lakers are now such a front-line defensive iron gate, but from another point of view, if with the return of the Kobe Bryant brother, the Lakers still can't pick up their rotten and famous defense, then the Lakers should consider either changing coaches or changing players. Otherwise, they can't win the ball and defend their opponents when they already have the strongest starting five tigers in theory: Westbrook, Ariza, James, Thick Brow and Warcraft Howard, so how to adjust?
