With the Lakers 110-138 again big score again again, this is already the Lakers' fourth consecutive loss, the last four games, the Lakers first lost to the Timberwolves 92-110, then 115-110 lost to the Bulls, 90-108 lost to the Suns, plus 110-138 losses to the Spurs, the current Lakers record of 16 wins and 17 loss rate of less than 50%, it can be said that it is quite tragic.
And the former "strongest 175 on the surface", "king of the last quarter" Thomas Jr. is quite at the wrong time, since he signed a ten-day short contract with the Lakers, the Lakers have welcomed four consecutive losses, whether it is really directly related to Little Thomas, but the hat of the loser is also buckled on the head. Especially after scoring a pitiful 3 points on 11-of-11 against the Suns and scoring only 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting against the Spurs, Thomas Jr. has become the target of Lakers fans, so is the Lakers really only blame Thomas Jr. for their four-game losing streak?
The author's answer is that there is a relationship, but it does not matter much! The real problem with the Lakers is not that this ten-day short contractor, simply throwing the pot on Little Thomas is as irresponsible as a big business pushing its own failures to the boss who guards the door. The real problems of the Lakers are as follows.
First, the Lakers' recent wave of injuries and illnesses. As we all know, the Lakers have recently suffered a wave of injuries, and half of the team's main players except James West have suffered. First the first heavy gunner on the outside line Munch was absent because of the trigger health agreement, and then Rivers, who had just played a brilliant performance, was also forced to "shut down", and the outside defensive gate Bradley and Bazemole also watched from the sidelines. These four people are indispensable players in the Lakers' winning lineup, and it is precisely because of the absence of these guards that the Lakers have no choice but to put the strange lineup of Thomas Jr., Rondo, Ellington and Tucker. In addition, although the thick eyebrow brother did not trigger the health protection agreement, but he suffered a knee injury and needed to rest for a month, and the large-scale injury wave made the Lakers lack a major general, and it is not difficult to understand the loss.
Second, the Lakers' platoon deployment. And the Lakers' personnel absence is not only reflected in the players, but their coach Vogel also triggered a health protection agreement for the sidelines. Acting coach Fitzdale also often arranges a strange lineup on the court, such as the previous game against the Suns and even put Ariza in the center position, the other four positions are Rondo, Tucker, Thomas Jr. and Ellington and other small guards who can't shoot, this small lineup can be described as no ten years of cerebral hemorrhage can not be imagined, this lineup on the field, can win the game to have a ghost.
Third, management abandons Howard. As mentioned above, when the Lakers experienced the injury tide of defenders, they still insisted on signing defenders and main defenders, completely forgetting that their internal advantages were only stronger than other teams, and vaguely remembered that the Lakers discharged Howard + thick eyebrows of the twin tower combination, and in the 20-year playoffs, the opponent's life could not take care of themselves, so why is there no major general in Shuzhong now, but howard DNP? Jordan Jr. has proven that he is not adapted to the rhythm of the Lakers today, and Davis is absent, and the only center who can play the most in the Lakers is Howard, but the management has abandoned him at this time, and I don't know what the intention is.
In short, 90% of the Lakers will not sign another ten-day short contract with Thomas, and Thomas's NBA road is estimated to have to wait for a while, but this time it is not Thomas Jr. pitting the Lakers, but the Lakers pit Thomas Jr., these three problems are not solved, even if there are more potential stars, what is the use? （ikuet）
