The NBA Lakers have recently lost to the Grizzlies and kings, which makes their winning rate a full 50%, and there are currently 15 teams in the league with a winning rate of more than 50%, in other words, the Lakers' record level is now the middle level of the league, which is obviously very far from the championship, and in the case of the Lakers' average record, the outside world has pointed the finger at Russell Westbrook...
According to a video report released by the US media EPSN, the well-known Lakers reporter Jorge Sedano said in the podcast program a few days ago: "Wei Shao's performance is very bad now, which is too bad to describe." His most effective lineup on the court is Westbrook + Howard + three shooters, which can become a set of lineups when Westbrook plays on the bench, be realistic, either replace LeBron James early, or let Westbrook play as a substitute, I think it would be better for Westbrook to play as a substitute. ”
Mei Ji mentioned that either Zhan Huang went off early, or Wei Shao went to play as a substitute, which showed the contradiction of the core of the Lakers lineup, Zhan Huang has led the team to win the championship many times, and his team often has top shooters, Wade, Bosh, Irving, Lefu, three of them have strong projection ability, poor projection Wade, he does not need the right to organize on the one hand, and there is a top defense on the other side, Wei Shao is different, he is like Zhan Huang who lacks projection ability...
Wei Shao is indeed very comprehensive, but his function overlaps with Zhan Huang to a certain extent, coupled with his lack of projection of the short board, Wei Shao, Zhan Huang's incompatibility is too obvious, too deadly, the Lakers may not have taken this into account when building the big three, if you let 2 people stagger the game, this is estimated to be a very good change, and as Mei Ji said, the Lakers did use a set of lineups suitable for Wei Shao's single core leadership, and the Lakers have a lineup configuration suitable for Wei Shao to play as a substitute.
The Lakers have taken out came up with Cameron Anthony, Dwight Howard, Westbrook, Wayne Ellington, And Munch lineup four times so far this season, this lineup Lakers used a total of 29 minutes, a total of 73 points + shooting 51.9% + three-point shooting rate of 48% + 30 rebounds + 15 assists and plus-minus of +15, from the data point of view, Westbrook with such a lineup is appropriate, because it does not include Anthony Davis and James, this can indeed be a set of configuration when Westbrook plays the bench.
Of course, Jorge Sedano also mentioned "I feel" in the show, Westbrook's annual salary this season is $44.21 million, and you let such a big-name star play as a substitute? That's simply incredible, even if you let him stagger with the other 2 super giants, it seems unlikely to be achieved, whether it is considering Wei Shao's annual salary or fame, the Lakers can do is to try their best to put all the super giants in a set of lineups, no matter what the effect, at least the star is very star-studded, the popularity is very high, isn't it?
