The Lakers' game against the Grizzlies is about to begin! In this game, the Lakers' goal is definitely to win, and the team has the opportunity to get this victory, first, because the Lakers are in a very good state, they have won 4 consecutive wins, everyone has full confidence; second, because the Lakers want revenge, in the last meeting between the two sides, the Lakers were once the leading side, but in the end it was reversed, which made everyone feel angry. If the Lakers play well, winning is not a problem.
In addition, the Lakers have two good news blessings, which makes the team's chances of winning the game greater. The first piece of good news is that the Lakers' roster is basically no longer a problem. Previously, the Lakers officially announced the team's injury list, only Davis and Nunn are still recuperating, and the rest can play. Previously, the Lakers suffered a series of losses, which is related to the sluggish performance of individual players and the lack of mutual friction, but also related to the absence of players, since the beginning of the season, the Lakers have not made up players. The lineup is no problem, and the Lakers will win the game.
The second piece of good news is that Vogel seems to have found the magic weapon for the team to win. Recently, the Lakers have been in good shape, the team has won four consecutive games and won five of their last six games. This has something to do with Vogel's platooning. In these games, Vogel has been trying small lineups, the most commonly used combination is James, Stanley Johnson, Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, when these five players play at the same time, the net efficiency value can reach +23.6, the offensive efficiency value can reach 127.5, and the defensive efficiency value can reach 103.9, which is very remarkable data.
If you think about it, the combat effectiveness of this set of 5-man lineups is indeed strong. James played the No. 5 position, maneuverable, physical confrontation is excellent, while being able to open up space for his teammates; Stanley Johnson played the No. 4 position, fighting actively, energetically, defending the line; Munch played the No. 3 position, although he was a little weaker, but his physical fitness was excellent, the projection was accurate, and he cooperated with James; Bradley played the No. 2 position, the defense had a set, and he was good at three-point shooting; Wei Shao played the No. 1 position, as long as he did not make a mistake, he could play his greatest value. Of course, such a lineup still needs to be tested by stronger teams. Hit the grizzly bear right away and see the effect.
Anyway, the Lakers are slowly on the right track, just see if the team can continue to win consecutively. By the way, and James, what performance can you continue to bring?
