On December 15, Beijing time, according to The Charania report, Lakers players Howard and Munch both entered the health and safety agreement and did not qualify for the game against the Lone Ranger. During this time, the U.S. teams were affected by the epidemic, and the Lakers also became the hardest hit area. Tucker Jr., Howard and Munch, three important rotation players, were recruited, and the Lakers suffered difficulties in the case of thick eyebrows and injuries, especially James.
The Lakers are now full of wounded soldiers, and Ariza and Nunn are still recuperating from injuries and cannot compete. The thick-browed brother was suspicious, and suddenly there were 3 more players who were isolated.
The Lakers have used 13 starting lineups this season, including the recent use of Westbrook + Tucker Jr. + Bradley + James + Howard to achieve excellent results, and can win 43.6 points per 100 rounds. But now this lineup is not working.
An important part of the Lakers' lineup is Howard. The Warcraft replaced Jordan Jr. starting with a great effect, and his defense was better.
Lakers coach Vogel will have to use other players, and Rondo and Bazemore are expected to re-enter the rotation. If the thick-browed brother can't play, Jordan Jr. will return to the starting lineup.
The Lakers' remaining players include James, Westbrook, Bradley, Anthony, Ellington, Reeves, Jordan Jr., Bazemore and Rondo. There are also 9 players, which do not include players with two-way contracts.
The Lakers' next opponent is the Lone Ranger, whose core Doncic is suspended due to injury, so the Lakers still have a lot of chances to win.
The key is how the Lakers match the lineup. James, Westbrook and Bradley will definitely continue to start, then Jordan Jr. may return to the starting, and another position may be given to Bazemore, after all, Bazemore started at the beginning of the season, which is his chance to re-establish himself.
James' days are difficult, and the lakers have mainly relied on James to lead the team to win in the last two games. If Brother Thick Eyebrows delays longer, Zhan Huang, who is about to turn 37, will be more tired.
