After today's Lakers' crush on the Spurs, Old Zhan said: "There is no chemistry in any of our lineups, this is the truth."
Hearing this, you can really feel James's helplessness, in the last 13 games he has scored 30+ points 9 times, but the team has suffered 4 consecutive losses.
Howard, who was called by fans in the last game, was promoted to the starter today, but his play also did not save the situation of failure, so the current Lakers really have no way to recover?
It's been a third of the season, and the team has yet to find a stable starting lineup, with role players except for the Big Three having almost already tried. But I don't know if you have found out that the current Lakers especially like to let Tucker go to the starting partner James and Westbrook.
I don't know how the head coach feels, I believe that the Lakers chose to renew Tucker's contract because of his talent, after all, he is still very young, there is still a lot of room for improvement. But to be honest, tucker is not suitable for the starter to partner James and Westbrook.
First of all, the Lakers' starting lineup really can't open up space, and Tucker's shooting percentage from the outside this season is only 24%, if you play a big lineup, then the Lakers' space is even more limited. On the court, Old Zhan has become the team's most stable outside scoring point, and Tucker also needs to have the ball in hand, and the starting Westbrook and Old Zhan also need the ball right, the Lakers have not solved this problem, and now with Tucker, I think this lineup is too inappropriate.
The Lakers are not short of people on the guard line this season, James, Westbrook, Rondo and Tucker can all play point guards, and these so-called point guards are not good at scoring from the outside. In fact, the Lakers' starting lineup can consider adding an outside shooting point, Tucker to play the bench, adding a ball holding point in the second lineup may be a better choice.
Tucker had eight shots on the perimeter, mostly in empty positions, in the game against the Suns, but he didn't shoot a goal. Tucker is a player with a certain ability, his ability to break through can open up space for the team, he is not a pitcher, so it is a little uncomfortable to use him, which is why Tucker is struggling so much now.
All in all, the Lakers' lineup is not lacking in talent, when Ariza, Nunn, Thick Brow, Munch and others return, the Lakers' lineup can have multiple choices, and it is precisely because of the choices that Vogel has never found a fundamental way to solve the problem.
Sometimes watching the Lakers' game, I really feel their helplessness, and sometimes I give people a desolate feeling. Once upon a time, when Old Zhan broke through to pass the ball out, the outside was full of pitchers, and now he passed the ball, the outside line was once again continuously transmitted, either Wei Shao or thick eyebrows, not thick eyebrows tucker, not Tucker is Rondo and others, the outside line can not be thrown, the inside line will be more difficult, Vogel, Vogel, you take out some strength out Wow, otherwise this season's Lakers are really like this...
