How did the Lakers save the season? US media support: change the two wings to act as Zhan Mei's backing

How should the Lakers save this season? The US media "silverscreenandroll" gave advice, they believe that the Purple and Gold Army should strengthen the players with both the fifth and fourth positions, and act as a backing behind Zhan Mei, which can not only alleviate the injuries of the two, but also increase the depth of the front, and three players have entered the team's sight.

The Lakers have been struggling this season, and their problems mainly focus on two aspects, the first point is that James and Anthony Davis are full of injuries, and the two superstars take turns to recuperate, which makes the Lakers fall into passivity for a long time.

Another problem is the lack of wings for the Lakers, and the reason why the Westbrook deal is bad is not only because of the good and bad play of Westbrook, but the Lakers have abandoned kuzma, Pop and other wing players in this deal, which has seriously degraded their frontal strength this season. In previous seasons, whether James was injured or Davis was absent, the Lakers always had other fronts to make up for the loss. But this season, only two veterans in the Lakers, Ariza and Anthony, can top such a position, which greatly reduces the Lakers' fault tolerance rate.

Luckily, the Lakers have found Stanley Johnson this season, and his defense can alleviate the team's bad situation a little, and Stanley Johnson is more defensive, and he can play some role in dealing with arrow figures like James Harden.

In the first 53 games of the season, the Lakers only 7 times in the absence of a traditional center to let James and thick eyebrows partner to start, only one of them in the Zhan Mei side partner Stanley Johnson, in seven games, the Lakers 5 wins 2 losses, in the Stanley Johnson partner Zhan Mei started the game, the Lakers 1 win 0 losses, it can be seen that the Lakers' small ball lineup still received a good effect, which is used too low frequency.

With the transfer trade deadline approaching, the Lakers also hope to get some puzzles, they should not focus on the big players, even if they send Westbrook, this is not going to allow the team to recover the depth of the front loss, they can only through some small transactions, in exchange for the type they need, rather than through the transaction to add another negative equity.

The Lakers could fill the lakers' frontcourt by bringing in the Thunder's Muscala and Kenridge Williams, looking for benches for Brother Brow and James.

Muscala played briefly with the Lakers in the 2018-19 season. This season, he remains one of the biggest big men in the NBA shooting, shooting a career-high 42.9 percent from three-point range, and According to index analysis by the U.S. media, Muscala's outside shots have reached A-class.

In the eyes of the outside world, Muscara is heavy on attack and light defense, but this is also a misunderstanding, his height of 2 meters 08 is a natural advantage in itself, he can be competent in the task of guarding the frame under the basket, averaging 13.8 minutes per game, Muscara's defense this season is trustworthy, and his ability to protect the basket even exceeds the shooting ability.

As a substitute for thick eyebrows, Muscara's three-point projection and protective frame are very suitable for the Lakers, he will not only not damage the team's space, but also help the team to stabilize the basketball defense, Vogel's team has been creating a balance, And Muscara is also very much in line with the needs of the team.

Kenridge Williams is the standard small ball inside, his arrival can ensure that the Lakers without Bradley, Munch and Westbrook to continue the five small lineup, to keep an eye on the opponent's third and fourth players, Kenridge Williams' passing, scoring and rebounding ability can bring great help to the Lakers, his size and speed of movement can make him play a generalist, becoming an important part of the team's defense.

The Thunder are currently in the rebuilding phase, and what they need is draft picks, and the Lakers can exchange Nunn and second-round picks for one of them, or get two through a bigger operation. Only with a reinforced front, the Lakers can truly complete their self-help.
