I don't know how long the "Lake Old Eight" can carry, anyway, if you lose a little bit of a ball or two, the Eighth Position in the West of the Lakers will not be saved! Not being able to keep the top eight seats in the playoffs is not a big problem for the time being, the big problem is that the team's contradictions are now difficult to deal with! It's not awkward here, but it does have to be said that Wei Shao and the Lakers are now at an awkward tipping point, and Wei Shao and head coach Vogel also have such a freezing point. How did this freezing point break? Three options: one is to change coaches, the other is to change players, and the third is to win! The best result is to win, only the Lakers win, and at present, no matter what contradictions or unpleasant things will disappear.
So the next Lakers game against the Nets is very critical, this game is not only to determine whether the Lakers can temporarily rank eighth in the West, but the particularity of the Lakers and the Nets is very interesting. The winning side naturally has nothing to say, but if it loses, even the slightest flaw will be infinitely magnified and become the point of being targeted. So when the Lakers side plays against the Nets, Anthony Davis may come back! Of course, it is only a theoretical possibility, and it is not easy to say whether it is really coming back or not!
But in any case, the current Lakers are in great need of "fresh blood" and need to sprint in the end! So far, the Management of the Lakers may not think that the transaction to Wei Shao is a misplaced decision, because after Wei Shao came to the Lakers, the Lakers have not really played a complete lineup, and the three giants have not cooperated much, so what kind of strength is not easy to say. And this wave of Davis's comeback is the key, to put it bluntly? It was Wei Shao's departure not in the last few performances, but in the game after Davis' comeback!
It is obvious that the Lakers cannot take Wei Shao as the absolute core of the team, and the Lakers are still the teams of James and Davis! Maybe at the beginning of the season or even now, everyone has to adapt to Wei Shao's way of playing, but this way of playing has to win, and if you can't win the ball, Wei Shao in turn needs to adapt to the way James and Davis play. The next thing to see is whether Wei Shao can adapt to James and Davis, if the three people can have a chemical reaction together, can have a winning win, Wei Shao will still stay in the Lakers this season, but once Wei Shao and the two continue to run into very badly, then before the trade deadline, Wei Shao will most likely be sent out.
So Davis's comeback is quite critical, and a period of time after his comeback will also determine the direction of the Lakers' lineup this season! Anyway, old Zhan is this spectrum, and the fate is 30+ data, and it is impossible to expect him to hit five like too much. Davis's dominance is also lower than the last two seasons, which is to play to the tactical level, more to require players other than these two to be able to play. Wei Shao can play, then there is no doubt that the Lakers can fight this season, but if Wei Shao can't play, then the result is not easy to say! So the real key point of the Lakers is Davis, and whether he can win next is still up to him, if this lineup does not win again, the Big Three may be partnered for less than a season.
