Beijing time on December 26, the NBA Lakers lost to the Nets in the Christmas war, after losing this game, the Lakers suffered a wave of 5 consecutive losses, which is the longest consecutive defeat suffered by the Lakers so far this season, so that their winning rate has become 47.1%, which is currently ranked 17th in the league, from the current league-wide winning rate ranking can be seen, now the Lakers have fallen out of the championship ranks, their goal may become to compete for playoff qualification.
From December 18, Beijing time to date, the Lakers have lost 5 consecutive games, 5 games they averaged 103.4 points per game + shooting rate of 43.5% + three-point shooting rate of 26.4% + 44.8 rebounds + 23 assists + 16.2 mistakes + offensive efficiency value of 99.4 + defensive efficiency value of 114, in this time period, their scoring and shooting rate are ranked 24th in the league, rebounds are 14th, assists are 20th, turnovers are 27th, defensive efficiency is 24th, Three-point shooting percentage and offensive efficiency are in the league at the bottom!
From the data, it can be seen that now the Lakers' offense is very crotch, the three-point ball is the most crotch-pulling part of the crotch, during the 5-point losing streak, the Lakers totaled 437 shots 247 iron, of which the three-point shot 174 shots 128 iron, this three-point shot data is really quite hot, if the three-pointer of the crotch is deducted, then their shooting data is 263 shots of 119 iron, shooting rate of 54.75%, if there is no crotch of the three-point shot, the Lakers' offensive performance is actually still good, should be able to enter the league's top ten.
During the 5-game losing streak, the Lakers' three-pointer data is very "hot-eyed", and such "hot-eyed" is for a reason, zhan Huang may have said the root cause of the Lakers' current downturn in the post-game interview! After losing to the Nets, LeBron James said that now the Lakers lack head coach Frank Vogel, although some players have returned, but the Lakers' lineup is still uneven, losing streak is not what they want to see, but no one will sympathize with them, because almost all teams have the problem of uneven lineups.
During the Lakers' 5-game losing streak, they only had 4 players with a three-point shooting rate of more than 30%, these 4 were Ariza, Munch, Bazemore and new signing Stanley Johnson, but Ariza only played 2 games, Bazemore, Munch and Johnson only played 1 game, and the Lakers played only 4 players in 5 games during the 5-game losing streak, they were Melon, Zhan Huang, Westbrook and Ellington, and they had as many as 10 players who played less than 3 games during the 5-game losing streak.
Wei Shao, Zhan Huang, thick eyebrow brother are not well-known pitchers, in the three-point shooter, they can rely more on role players, but due to the impact of injury, isolation, these role players can not be on, or intermittently, which leads to the Lakers' court space, chemical reaction are relatively bad, the shortage of manpower is indeed the key point of their downturn, and this as Zhan Huang said, the problem of manpower shortage will not be sympathized with, what they can do may be to constantly try the lineup, Find a way to open up the situation, right?
