How bad are the Los Angeles Lakers? 37-year-old James has cut the 37 + 13 + 7 quasi-triple-double data, the Lakers still failed to win the game, such a poor performance is really difficult to accept, to know that at the beginning of the season, the Lakers are a team with championship strength in the eyes of the outside world, who can think that the current Lakers have become a bereaved dog. In the game with the Grizzlies, the Lakers had the hope of winning the game, after all, in the first three quarters of the game, the Lakers still occupied the initiative, but in the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers suddenly did not play, the whole quarter of the game only scored 16 points, the downturn on the offensive end allowed the Grizzlies to seize the opportunity to reverse the game in one fell swoop, and from this game, it was also seen that the Lakers had three serious problems!
The strength of the substitute lineup is average, and the dispatch of troops will be incomprehensible!
The Lakers in the offseason in order to get Wei Shao really came up with all their belongings except for the Zhan Mei combination, and it is precisely because of the conclusion of this deal, the available players in the hands of the Lakers have become very tricky, the team has to continue to sign the form of veterans to make up the number of lineups, that is, such an operation, the Lakers in the strength of the substitute lineup can not be guaranteed at all, the only one on the bench can make the fans satisfied with the estimate is Anthony, and this satisfaction is still a little emotional bonus, Otherwise, in terms of the current strength of the Lakers' current bench lineup, there is really no one who can play, except for Anthony, the only Howard who has some value is often hidden by the coach, in this game with the Grizzlies, Howard's role on the court is very obvious, but in the fourth quarter of the game, Howard did not get even a minute of playing time, such a strategy is really too speechless, should eventually lose the game!
The team is obsessed with small lineups, and the inside line is beaten wildly but does not change!
I don't know why, the Lakers have been very obsessed with small lineups in the past period of time, and in so many two-way contracts signed by the team are basically looking for guard players, such a lineup choice really does not know what kind of medicine Vogel sells in the gourd, does he want to make up for the lack of the team's defensive end through the speed advantage of the small lineup? But judging from the situation in the past few games, the small lineup did not help the Lakers play any role in the defensive end, but instead made the opponent play more and more vigorously. In this game with the Grizzlies, Howard as the starting center only got a short 16 minutes of playing time, in the key fourth quarter of the game is hidden in the snow, the team can only watch Morant make history in the end, so the Reason for the Lakers to lose this game is in their own, or in the stubbornness of the coaching staff, although Howard may not be able to keep the game to win, but at least it will not be so passive, in the case of being fat by the opponent on the inside, The Lakers' insistence on not changing the position is really fascinating!
The lineup is badly deformed, and Wei Shao is really completely unsuitable!
Let's talk about the clichéd topic, is Wei Shao suitable for the current lineup of the Lakers, or is it compatible between Wei Shao and James? In fact, judging from the situation so far in the season, the fight between Wei Shao and Old Zhan is really quite awkward, why do you say so? Because both need to have the ball in hand, when James holds the ball, Wei Shao can not play his true strength, when Wei Shao holds the ball, James can not play for a long time without the ball, so there must be someone between the two to make sacrifices, and once someone makes a sacrifice, then the power of the Lakers giant combination will be greatly reduced, and Wei Shao does not have a stable projection ability, such a player is really too inappropriate to play next to Old Zhan.
In addition, in addition to the age of the lineup, the Lakers' lineup structure is actually quite deformed, the starting five-man group in addition to James and Wei Shao, the other three people basically do not have much combat effectiveness, even if they add thick eyebrows, the remaining two players are old and weak, the combat effectiveness is really too limited, so as far as the team's operation in the offseason is concerned, signing Wei Shao locked his own reinforcement space, and then can only strengthen the lineup through some old future, but such reinforcement does not play much role at all, The Lakers' deformed lineup will eventually make them end up drinking and hating!
Fans, what do you think is the biggest problem with the Lakers this season? Is it really possible for a team to make the playoffs this season? Can Westbrook and James coexist? Everyone is welcome to express their views in the comments section and participate in the discussion!
