In the year-end war, the Lakers lost to the Nets, who only had Harden alone, which also made many fans feel desperate, the recent five consecutive defeats have completely made the team fall to the bottom, and the goal of this season's championship seems to be just a joke! So has the Lakers, who have been in poor form lately, really reached the point where they have to complete the deal immediately?
In fact, it is really not to that extent, although the recent team's state is very poor, it seems that there are problems in all aspects, but from the game we can see that James's state is really very good, the last five games he can contribute 31.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks, shooting 56%, for a 37-year-old veteran, what else can be expected?
From the recent games, we can see that James has slowly adapted to playing center, and his back-to-back play and footsteps can help the team. In the game against the Warriors, his interior effect is also very good, and in addition to the offense, he can also have a very good sense of defense on the defensive end, which has proved that he has begun to adapt to this new team role!
And the reason why the team is in poor shape is largely because the team is now seriously understaffed in rotation, Thomas Jr., Rondo, Collison and other backcourts are really very problematic, the offensive end does not contribute much, and the defensive end has serious loopholes. So they are now trying to wait as much as possible for the return of the team rotation lineup, Rivers, Ariza, Munch and other players are very or able to get a member of the team, if they can return, the overall state of the team is bound to improve!
So now everything is not yet the time to completely tear down and rebuild, the Lakers and fans should be patient, at this stage do not think about winning the championship, or rush out of the West problem, now they need the existing players to be in the best condition to wait for the return of the rotating players, so that they can play their own games in the future!
