On December 21, Beijing time, the Lakers are currently 16 wins and 15 losses, ranking seventh in the west, such a record is naturally unsatisfactory. One of the big reasons for this is the poor defense, especially when the team was sent to the five small, and now in the game, James's dissatisfaction with the teammate's defense scene has also been exposed.
With 7:28 left in the third quarter of the Lakers and Bulls, the Bulls attacked at half-time, and Vucevic had to hold the ball and hit James back. James resisted Vucevic and did not give his opponents a chance to play hard, but the Bulls big center had a hand to pass.
Vucevic dribbled while observing his teammate's running position, and he quickly found Caruso, who was in a big open position on the outside, and sent an oblique pass, and Caruso received the ball and hit the jumper easily.
Seeing the moment caruso received the ball in the big open position, James directly expressed his confusion, he did not understand why his teammates would directly miss Caruso. After Caruso's three-point shot, James spread his hands again and threw his arms in anger, rather annoyed. He looked at his teammates and spread his hands to express his displeasure. Then, turn around and serve the bottom line.
Indeed, this time defensively, the Lakers' rotation is quite poor, the opponent simply ran out of the opportunity, in fact, Thomas Jr. lost position and missed people has a lot to do with it. Of course, this is also related to his newcomer, and defense is not what he is good at.
So far this season, the Lakers' defense has completely lost the performance of last season. So far this season, the Lakers have averaged 111.3 points per game, ranking third from the bottom in the West. Now that the thick eyebrows have fallen and the Warcraft are also in isolation, the defensive problems of the Lakers' small lineup will still be the team's big weakness. Facing the sun at 11 a.m. on the 22nd, the Lakers are afraid that they will be taught a defensive lesson by the opponent again. You know, the Suns' defensive efficiency this season is third in the league.
