Injury + triggering a health and safety agreement has become the biggest problem for the Lakers now, after yesterday's big score loss to the Spurs, the team has suffered 4 consecutive losses, the next game they will face the Nets in the Christmas war, which is still a big challenge for the Lakers.
The only thing that makes this Christmas war a little bit terrier is that stars such as Durant and Irving cannot play because the quarantine period is not up, the Lakers are injured with thick eyebrows, and many players are also isolated and unable to play. For the Lakers, this may be a good opportunity to end the losing streak, everything depends on whether they can finally seize the opportunity, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Lakers have no certainty of winning no matter which team they face.
Pelinka signed two more contracts for another 10 days
On this day the Lakers announced that they signed Collison and Stanley Johnson on a 10-day contract. In fact, everyone is still familiar with Collison, he entered the NBA in 2009, played for the Kings, Hornets, Pacers and other teams, and was still playing as a substitute for him in high school. It faded out of the league after the 18-19 season and auditioned for the Lakers this offseason.
The Lakers signed these two people in the hope that they can go to the Christmas war, but for the Lakers' signing, Pelinka is still complained by fans. It is true that I don't know what the Lakers think now, in fact, they do not lack point guards, but now they are constantly signing players in this position, and now the personnel on the team's point guard are Westbrook, Rondo, Thomas Jr. and other people, and now they have signed 183cm Collison, which is really incomprehensible.
Previously, in the Lakers' game with the Suns, Fitzdale had used the death five small lineups of Westbrook + Rondo + Tucker + Thomas Jr. + Ariza, and the Lakers' current lineup is really not suitable for playing a small lineup. Once the Warriors dared to use the Death Five, because the Warriors' Five Small Lineup at that time had a strong shooting ability, which was their success.
Last season's Clippers were also able to beat the Jazz with five small lineups, relying on their small lineup shooting ability. But looking at the Lakers' five-small lineup now, whether it's Westbrook, Tucker, Thomas Jr., or other players, the shooting ability on the court is not ideal.
The essence of a small lineup is to fight the opponent with the bayonet, and I can rely on my flexibility and shooting ability to get more points than the opponent. Because the Lakers' five small at the defensive end is a big loophole, after the thick eyebrow injury, it feels that the Lakers lack is an internal rotation player, Jordan Jr. defeat is a colander, the Warcraft can fight, but he can not support a longer playing time.
At present, the Lakers' lineup itself is not high enough, and it does not have the ability to shoot, and now they continue to sign guards. Obviously, these players are not the antidote to the Lakers, the team's current lineup is really not suitable for Lao Zhan, even if Lao Zhan has contributed 30+ points in 9 of the past 13 games, the last 4 games have averaged 30 +10+5, still can not lead the team to win, this Lakers still have to save?
