Yesterday promised everyone, today a brief chat about the Lakers.
I roughly counted, since the thick eyebrows in the game against the Timberwolves after the suspension, so far, the Lakers swallowed the 6th loss in the past 7 games, the only win was against the west at that time the West's brother-in-law the first Houston Rockets, that game if you have an impression, the Lakers bombed 132 points, but also let the Rockets score 123 points.
In other words, the injury of the thick eyebrow can be said to have sucked out the defensive foundation on which the Lakers rely to survive.
Another set of statistics, the beginning of the season to the present Lakers have conceded 107.1 points per 100 rounds, the ninth lowest in the league, still maintaining the defensive level of the upper reaches of the league.
But in the last 7 games, the Lakers' 100-round loss of points rose to 112.6, the ninth highest points in the league in the same period, and suddenly, it became a defensive weak team.
It is not surprising that although the state is not as good as the previous two years, the healthy thick eyebrows can still contribute 2 blocks and 1.2 steals per game this season, or the team's rebounding king, is a frame protection artifact, and the change of defense is also very deterrent.
The 37-year-old LeBron, although still able to cut an average of 27.6 points per game with high efficiency, made Durant Curry's scoring king battle from "north and south dynasties side by side" to "three kingdoms kill". However, although old Zhan is still brave and has played this age phenomenon- performance, he knows from watching the scene that the defensive treatment enjoyed by LeBron today is not the same as that of 30 years old.
Even two or three seasons ago, when LeBron took the ball on the periphery, when was not the strongest defensive tip following in front, the defensive guard waiting in the back, and finally a frame guard like a big enemy?
So, so suddenly, the defensive formation was all broken, the weak side was full of holes, and LeBron's ball was passed out, and the defense was broken.
What now? The opponent's defense is a little jealous of LeBron's three-pointer, but just like that, it is mainly the sharp soldier defense, and a co-defense behind can force him to stop the ball.
So, the same 27 points, I think even the old Jenn fans have to admit that the 37-year-old LeBron put a lot less pressure on the defense than before.
30-year-old LeBron with me, Teacher Yang, Teacher Su, Zhang guidance, will not be 7 wins and 6 losses, now, can only say that the years are not spared!
The injury, which according to the news at the time, needed to be re-evaluated after 4 weeks, and it has only been less than two weeks.
Can the Lakers still afford at least two weeks of extremely low wins? I think it's hard.
What you should know is that the thick eyebrows are there, the Lakers stand firm in the top four in the west, they can't open the distance from the third echelon of the west, dig a pit for two weeks, and when the thick eyebrows come back, half the journey has passed, and they can only catch up at all costs.
So, in the playoffs, with the tired division, hitting the warriors and the sun, how many chances can there be?
At the end, the last sentence, Happy New Year to all of you, eat Ma Ma Xiang!
