Beijing time on December 25, today there is no NBA game, during this time we can review the performance of the teams so far this season, the sun played the expected level in the league, the Bucks and Nuggets did not play ideally because of injuries, the Nets barely met expectations, the Warriors definitely exceeded expectations, and the Blazers and Lakers can be said to be the most unsatisfactory teams among the strong teams.
The Blazers can understand that they have changed the manager, the team is changing the way of playing, and they are not a championship-level team, and it is normal to play badly, but the Lakers are different, they have two MVPs, and there is a top interior line of the league, such a configuration was considered by many large sports media to be able to take the first place in the West as early as the offseason, but now they are in seventh place in the West with a record of 16 wins and 17 losses, ranking looks good, but they are 11 wins behind the first place in the division Maybe even the Second Half of the season, the Lakers can't catch up with the Suns.
The current problem of the Lakers can be attributed to the player's injury, can also be attributed to the early run-in, but rational thinking about their biggest problem is that the lineup structure is not good, the team lacks players with strong athletic ability to contribute at both ends of the attack and defense, the offensive end of the caruso this impact is not there, the team did not get the opportunity to impact the front court board, Jordan Jr. can not even protect the backcourt board, when the opponent attacks quickly, there is no pop such a player who can chase defense.
Their lineup is too old, coupled with the lack of support from the defensive system, many of the team's lineups even if they perform well on the offensive end, but can not limit the opponent, helplessly Vogel has been trying various lineups, in order to find the team's offensive and defensive reasonable existence, but the season has used 18 sets of starting lineups, the result of the season so far the team's winning rate is not more than half, other ways of lineup types must have tried a lot, but still did not find a suitable winning lineup.
In fact, this is not the most difficult, it is estimated that I think the Lakers have the opportunity to find a relatively good lineup in the future, such as Wei Shao + Nunn + Ariza + James + thick eyebrows, but this season the Lakers want to rush the championship, the regular season to impact the ranking is probably very difficult, because their next schedule is very difficult, today the NBA broadcaster gave the rest of the season schedule difficulty, of which the Lakers are the most difficult.
Their remaining opponents have an average win rate of 52.6%, the Clippers' remaining opponents have an average shooting rate of 51.7% in the second difficulty, after which the Bucks opponents have an average win rate of 51.3% Third, the Kings opponents win 51.2%, the Kings estimate that it is difficult to reach the playoffs, they do not have this strength, the Bucks are after the return of the alphabet brother, the strength of their opponents is honestly not affected by their impact on good results, although the Clippers are less Leonard, but George led the team to play the fourth defensive efficiency of the league. Reaching the playoffs shouldn't be a big problem.
And the Lakers are afraid it is very difficult, the return date of the thick eyebrow brother is undecided, James and Wei Shao have tried their best in the past four games, but they still can't win, today the US media predicted the probability that the Lakers may enter the playoffs, they think the Lakers only have a 20% probability, which is a bit chilly, I think the Lakers still have a chance to enter the playoffs, after all, they signed Collison again, if the team can't do it, they can also try to trade to strengthen the weakness on the trade deadline.
Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
