16 wins and 14 losses, 6th in the West, which is the result of the Lakers' first 30 games of the new season. Although it ranked in the top 8 in the West, but compared with the team record predicted by the outside media at the beginning of the season, there is still a big gap, it can be said that according to the current Lakers lineup, they play such a record, which is very undesirable.
At present, there are many problems in this Lakers team, the most important problem to be solved is the run-in between players, although it has been 30 games, but the core players are still not ideal in terms of running-in, James, Westbrook and Davis are difficult to play an efficient performance in the game at the same time, the three cores are still not tacit enough in the coordination, lack of communication and chemistry.
In addition to the big three, the role players are not playing ideally, they can not give the team stable help in the game, many times their performance will pull the crotch, although occasionally there will be a few games, they will play very well, but most of the time, the role players are not ideal.
With multiple All-Star players, as well as a combination of James, Davis and Westbrook, the Big Three has only achieved a 6th record in the West with only 16 wins and 14 losses in the first 30 games, which is really not ideal, and the team still has a lot to improve. Okay, now that we've finished with the team's performance in the first 30 games, let's take a look at what kind of performance lakers players have played on the court in the first 30 games.
First of all, let's look at James, Davis and Westbrook, James is still as stable as ever, he has been able to average 25.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the games that have ended, shooting 50% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range, which has not changed much compared with his performance in the past few seasons, and his personal performance is stable.
Davis and Westbrook have declined relative to James, with Davis averaging 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game this season, and his personal three-point shooting rate has slipped to 17.9%, which is at the bottom of the league. This season Davis is in average form, the presence on the offensive end is not strong, the defensive end is not tough enough, can not prevent the opponent, compared to the past few seasons, Davis has declined this season.
Westbrook has been able to finish with 19.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists this season, and his personal data has also declined, but considering that there are players like James and Davis on the same team, his personal data has declined understandably.
Then we look at the role players play, this season veteran Anthony can average 13.2 points and 4 rebounds per game, he has become the Lakers' most trusted bench offensive strong point, personal play is very good. Tucker has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists this season, and the improvement has been somewhat slow, although there have been good performances, but most of the time, Tucker has not been able to play the performance expected by the outside world.
Munch has averaged 9.7 points per game this season, Ellington 6.7 points per game, Bradley 5.8 points per game, Reeves 5.8 points per game, Howard averaging 5 points per game, these players have performed decently this season, showing their value on the field, and many times they have had amazing performances. As role players, their performance has met expectations.
Bazemore has averaged only 4.3 points per game this season, Jordan Jr. 4.6 points, and Rondo 3.3 points, and the performance of these three players in the new season is somewhat disappointing, among which Bazemore's performance is the most surprising. Last season he was the warriors' main rotation, and this season he played too poorly, for a while he also fell out of the team rotation lineup, he could not shoot from the outside, the defense could not be defended, the personal play was relatively sluggish, and the performance did not meet expectations.
The above is the performance of the Lakers' main rotating players this season, from the perspective of play, most of the players are gradually adjusting their state as the season progresses, and they have a very good performance in the game. However, there are also a small number of players, their performance in the game is still not ideal, not integrated into the team's tactical system, for teammates are still relatively unfamiliar, can not play a good performance under the Lakers tactical system. For now, the Lakers are not running in enough, and if the team wants to get back on track, it may take a while for them to get better.
