On January 9, Beijing time, Lakers and team reporter Mike Trudell posted data, the Lakers' new starting lineup played well at both ends of the attack and defense, and the Lakers also won 4 consecutive wins after lightly taking the Eagles.
Trudell wrote: "This lineup of Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, Johnson and James, although it only took 4 games and played a total of 48 minutes, is already the second longest lineup used by the Lakers this season." The five played the same game to win 23.5 points in 100 rounds, with an offensive efficiency of 127.5 and a defensive efficiency of 103.9. ”
In this lineup, James plays the starting center, and the effect is very good. So far this season, James has played in the starting center game, and the Lakers have won 5 and lost 0, including this wave of 4 consecutive wins. What is the concept of offensive efficiency 127.5? So far this season, the most offensive efficiency of the league's 30 teams is the Jazz, their offensive efficiency is 116.8, and the Lakers' offensive efficiency of this lineup far exceeds the offensive efficiency of the league's current number one.
Defensive efficiency of 103.9 is also very strong, so far this season, the top three teams in defensive efficiency are the Warriors (102.2), the Suns (103.7) and the Cavaliers (104.9), the Lakers this lineup of defensive efficiency, can be ranked third in the league.
The offense is sharp enough, and the defense is strong enough to make the Lakers' lineup a success. From the perspective of the lineup, the stable and efficient play of the 37-year-old James is the key, and Munch, who entered the starting lineup, has also become his right-hand man. Us media Statmuse also posted the contrast between him and Kings guard Hield. So far this season, Munch has shot more from the field (48.1 percent) and three-point range (39.7 percent) than Hield (38.7 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from three-point range). Munch is only $1.79 million this season, and Hield is $23.09 million this season. The Lakers were close to getting Hield through a trade, but in the end they got Westbrook.
The Lakers' four-game winning streak also came after Vogel lifted the quarantine. He re-coached against the Trail Blazers, who also won four straight games. The US media posted the template of Vogel's apology letter, believing that the manager's recent coaching performance is worth saying sorry to him. Lakers reporter Harrison Faigen also forwarded the apology letter.
