The overall performance of the Lakers so far this season is not ideal, of course, this is largely because the Lakers do suffer more serious injuries. Beijing time on January 2 news, the Lakers have announced the team's injury report before the next game against the Timberwolves:
Among them, players such as Anthony Davis, Nunn and Rondo will still be absent, and LeBron James is a situation with a high probability of playing. Among them, Rondo is still on the Lakers' injury list, which means that the Lakers and Cavaliers' trade has not yet been officially promoted.
On the other hand, there have been many criticisms of Russell Westbrook in recent times, including ESPN reporter Zach Lowe who denied that Westbrook is still a superstar player in a show:
"I think it's time to tell the truth," said Zach Lowe, "Warren, what is your definition of a superstar, Russell should not be a superstar." When I hear that word, I think of the kind of player who can make it into the best team, it's just that Russell isn't that kind of player anymore. ”
Even if Westbrook was still able to play with a three-double statistic player last season, Westbrook's performance in some games so far this season is really not so ideal, simply put, even if you can play a triple-double, if the team loses the game, such data is meaningless.
Finally, it seems that LeBron James' center position on top seems to have become a magic weapon for the Lakers to get out of the predicament, and Lakers coach Frank Vogel hinted at the rotation arrangement of the two superstars after Davis' comeback:
"Vogel said that once AD returns, the Lakers may use Davis and James as arrangements for the twin-tower lineup."
James has played the top performance in the center position, which seems to have become a magic weapon for James to lead the Lakers to continue to move forward this season, and it remains to be seen whether the Lakers can continue to have such a performance when James is in this position.
