The Lakers lost 28 points to the Spurs in a 4-game losing streak!
18 points to the Timberwolves, 5 points to the Bulls, 18 points to the Suns, 28 points to the Spurs. Previously, the Lakers had a wave of 3 consecutive wins, and the thick eyebrows at the time said that they would open a wave of consecutive wins, but they did not expect that they now suffered 4 consecutive losses, and the game was more ugly than one.
So what is the reason for the Lakers' successive fiasco?
Playing the Timberwolves, the Lakers' interior line was broken in the absence of Edwards. Facing the Bulls and fighting until the last moment regrettably losing, this is still acceptable. In the face of the sun, if it were not for the final result of the people's collection and play, I am afraid that they would run for 30 minutes. Facing a team that is already in the process of rebuilding, the Lakers lost 28 points.
With the two cores of James and Westbrook, what happened to the Lakers? Why do you lose battles one after another?
After the game, Wang Shipeng said that the Lakers should not talk about any technical tactics and lineups, and now the team urgently needs to solve the problem of morale. This is a team with many veterans, in this team the most powerful voice is the old Zhan, at this time the Lakers can only pin the only person is the old Zhan, but it turns out that the old Zhan is no longer the savior.
Facing the Spurs Lakers exposed the biggest problem is the defense, the whole game let the Spurs bomb 138 points, let a substitute player score 30 points on 11 of 11, where did the Lakers' defense go? We all know that if you want to have a good defense, the team must have a good chemistry, and now look at the Lakers' entire team is dead, so how to win?
Rockets veteran Carroll spoke out about the fundamental problem with the Lakers' loss
In today Carol updated his personal social media and said: "The biggest problem with the Lakers is how hard they work, and I can't believe they work that way."
When you don't work hard enough on the defensive end, it's really hard to win, to win on a stage like the NBA. Unless you have the same offensive capabilities as the Nets last season, the whole team has that kind of offensive ability.
Sometimes watching the Lakers' games, I really feel that there are problems within this team. This season in this team can rarely see their laughter, the atmosphere combination that was once gone, on the court old Zhan can score, he has cut 30+ in 9 of the last 13 games, but he always feels that his influence on the game has declined a lot, and the situation encountered by the Lakers today is even worse in the last season of the game.
At that time, when thick eyebrows and warcraft clashed, it felt that this Lakers would be difficult to succeed. Their hearts don't seem to be together, and no matter how good the lineup, if they can't play a good chemistry, it's almost unrealistic to want to succeed. The strength of the Warriors and the Sun is that they look like a whole, while the Lakers look like a mess.
There is very little communication between players at the defensive end, and when one player loses a defensive position, no other players make up for it. Against the Spurs, people simply get a chance to pass the ball, and the Lakers either can't get a good offensive opportunity, or they can't shoot it when they have the opportunity. Such a team really has a feeling of not seeing hope.
In fact, Carroll is very reasonable, as a bystander, he is very aware of the current situation of the Lakers. The first thing the Lakers want to succeed in now is the morale problem, in the final analysis, they can only rely on James, for the 37-year-old Zhan, whether he can lead this team out of the mud again, everything waits and sees!
