Today the Lakers challenged the Timberwolves away, people are playing morale like a rainbow, the Lakers really have no temper at all, after watching this game, it is inevitable to sigh, the Lakers this season to win the championship is almost hopeless, can enter the playoffs is good. I don't know if it's a bit too much to say, but judging from this ball, I am really disappointed.
This ball Lakers 92-110 Timberwolves, lost 18 points, the Lakers or the big three at the same time to play it, although the back of the thick eyebrow brother injured, but the loss is also many people did not expect. From this game, I saw some problems, I don't know if it's right, I feel that the current Lakers are a little too obsessed with three-pointers, once the three-point shot can't be thrown, they will fall into a dilemma, of course, this is not to say that this is not right, they have enough three-pointer pitchers, can play like this.
The question is how to solve this dilemma when the three-pointer is not open? In the past, the thick eyebrow brother can be inside and outside, the outside line cannot be opened, to the ball thick eyebrow brother he can help you open the situation, but now it is obviously not OK, the thick eyebrow brother feels that there is no speed and momentum of the previous two years, today can be said to be in the defensive end can not prevent Downs, the offensive end is not well played, really can not attack the defense can not be stopped.
In addition, there is James, the previous three-point shot did not score, James can also suddenly burst to give you a few, now a little difficult, today suddenly several balls have been hated, after all, 37, if it is 27, oh a little bit of fly buckle. So the Lakers can't expect James to play 40 minutes and carry the whole game like before.
However, I want to say that the Lakers are also really clever women are difficult to cook without rice, Tucker, Howard, the last quasi-kill Ofori classmates, these three people are more important rotations, this can not be played, especially Howard, after the thick eyebrow injury retreated, let little Jordan go up to the top, that speed is really not good, the attack is not as good as before. The defense can't jump up, so many times let James and Anthony two to play the inside line, three small guards on the outside line, the effect is really not good, people have Towns, directly hit the Lakers inside line. In addition, on the rebound, directly crushed by others, 61-36, lost 21 rebounds, of which the offensive rebound was 15-1, to what extent was the Lakers' inner line empty?
The only thing that was a little relieved about this ball was Thomas Jr., who had just signed a 10-day contract, played 21:37, scored a team-high 19 points, and the power of the offense was still there, I don't know if he can become the X factor of the Lakers this season.
