Beijing time on December 25, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, tomorrow the Lakers will face the Nets at home, which is the year-end battle of the NBA, but for the Los Angeles Lakers, the number of Lakers missing in this game is as high as 7! The Lakers' thick-browed brother sprained his left knee MCL, Nunn's right kneecap was injured, and Ariza, Bazemore, Reeves, Munch, and Bradley were absent for triggering a health and safety agreement.
The Lakers have now suffered four consecutive defeats, and for the Lakers, there are as many as 7 people missing, which can be described as a house leak and overnight rain. Also, among the remaining schedule difficulties of the 21-22 season announced by the NBA broadcasters, the Lakers have the most difficult remaining schedules in the league! So what about the Lakers? Many fans have said that James has tried his best, Westbrook is also improving, the only point is the thick eyebrow brother, he needs to lose weight, he needs to regain the peak.
In this regard, veteran media personality and celebrity Bill Simmons also gave his own views when he was doing a guest podcast program recently. He said: "I don't understand why the thick eyebrow brother is now less than 30 years old and he has begun to have a downward momentum, 30 years old should have been the peak of the player. It's strange that the thick-browed guy is now going in the wrong direction, if you go down the free throws, the rebounds go down, and the scoring and shooting percentage are like this, you're not 30 years old now, which doesn't make sense, this time you really should be at your peak. ”
Bill Simmons then went on to answer why he had this point of view, saying, "Right now, Brother Thick-Brow is overweight, and he's supposed to be like Kevin Garnett and Duncan, not that he's going to gain weight to play center forward." What I don't know is whether Brother Thick's current body can withstand his current weight. ”
So far this season, Brother Thickbrow has averaged 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in 35.4 minutes per game, and his average shooting rate is 52.1%, but his three-point shooting rate is 17.9%, which is the worst three-point shooting rate since he joined the Lakers. Also, Lakers fans also understand that this season's thick eyebrow brother is obviously much fatter than last season, not to mention the comparison with the 19-20 championship season.
Old Zhan undoubtedly hopes that the 28-year-old thick eyebrow brother can take over, the thick eyebrow brother is also known as one of the strongest big men in the league today, if he fails to control the weight, it is difficult to say whether the future development and the Lakers will eventually choose to trade him.
