Losing the Timberwolves, losing the Bulls, losing the Sun, the current Lakers have suffered three consecutive defeats, and in these three games the Lakers have lost more thoroughly, although this has a major relationship with the Lakers' lack of major generals, but the current Lakers lack of competitiveness is also an indisputable thing, of course, more importantly, the current Lakers have not played a good continuity, and even some Lakers have put out a lineup on the court that is unbelievable, from the previous defensive strong team to the current defensive weak team, too pursuit of offensive Lakers, too much pursuit of offensive Lakers, Now the situation is very worrying, after all, the current Lakers have no defense, and they have not made much progress in offense.
Because of the addition of Westbrook this season, the Lakers have to play a small lineup, but in the past thick eyebrows in the Lakers can still guard the basket, and now when James is placed in the fifth position, the Lakers can really only be powerless to defend, after all, Tucker, Ellington, Anthony and Westbrook and other people are not good at defense, so at this time, if the Lakers can not play a good offensive state, then the only thing waiting for the Lakers is to collapse, in the last three games the Lakers will show such shortcomings, especially against the Suns, You can really see how much of an advantage Ayton and McGee have on the court, and you can see in this game that the Suns didn't give their best, but even then the Suns won a big win.
It can be said that James was too tired at this time, and James was almost injured in the game against the Suns, although James was not a big problem afterwards, but this was also very worrying, and after the game, James talked about playing the center lineup and said bluntly: This is no difference for me, as long as I play, I have to play a good round. This is true on both ends of the offensive and defensive lines. Although James said so, and actually watched the game to know that James is really tired in this lineup, but the current Lakers really prefer to exhaust James rather than put on a big center, and the reason for this is that the Lakers want to play offense, but the current Lakers offense is too bad, Thomas Jr. and Tucker are transformed into blacksmiths, it is difficult to have Ariza and Anthony to help the team, and finally Anthony was also expelled in the game.
At the same time, the Lakers are really not unable to use a large lineup, the use of Little Jordan in the game against the Suns at the beginning played some role, although the back of the Little Jordan after the game made the Lakers become bad, but in fact this is related to the ability of Little Jordan, the current Little Jordan is no longer the small Jordan of the past, so the Lakers will appear so passive, and in addition to the Little Jordan Lakers still have Howard to use, in the previous game Howard has already proved himself, However, Howard missed the game because of the health and safety agreement, and now he has been directly abandoned after returning. In fact, this is not the first time howard has been abandoned this season, to say that this season's Howard took the initiative to return to the Lakers, he is still playing energetically on the court, and he can really help the team.
However, in the previous game, Howard was abandoned for various reasons, and after Vogel found out that Howard could help the team, he also put Howard in the starting position, so when the Lakers have internal problems today, many fans think that Howard will be reused, but the reality is often the opposite. First of all, the Lakers did not mention Howard to the starting position, at this time the fans think that Jordan Jr. is just a fake starter, Howard will still be reused, but as the game progressed, it was found that Howard was directly abandoned, even if the Lakers put a small lineup disadvantage is very obvious, the Lakers still did not change, and finally the Lakers also suffered 3 consecutive losses.
It should be said that Howard has long proved that he can help the team, but now the Lakers just don't pay attention to Howard, when playing a big lineup, they prefer to use Jordan Jr. rather than use Howard, and know that playing a small lineup will consume Too much James, but now the Lakers are really willing to exhaust Howard, and did not give Howard a chance. And in such a situation this season's Lakers are really bleak prospects, because the Lakers' problems are placed here, from now on the Lakers are really difficult to solve such a thing, when Howard returned to the Lakers is expected to follow the Lakers to compete for the championship again, but from now on Howard is not taken seriously, the Lakers want to win the championship is really very difficult, so see this can only say that Howard you really should not come back.
