Unsurprisingly, the Lakers lost to the Bucks 116-131.
Losing to the Bucks is actually not a shame, the Lakers, regardless of the record, lineup or style of play, are not a level of the team with the Bucks.
From an offensive point of view, after the Lakers give up the big center, the letter can be abused on the Lakers' inside line, and the thick eyebrows alone cannot stop the letter.
Alphabet scored 17 athletic goals with 20 shots, and cut 44 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, an efficiency that would seem extremely thin in any language.
Coincidentally, the last time Alphabet faced the Lakers, he scored 47 points with 18 goals in 23 shots, and in two games against the Lakers, Alphabet cut the first and second highest scores of the season. In addition to the letters, the Bucks also have a Potis who can do anything.
From a defensive point of view, Guago is not there, and the Lakers have no stable outside projection point except for James and Munch. So the Bucks only need to guard the penalty area, wait for the Lakers to make mistakes or hit the iron, and then launch a counterattack.
Then some people will ask, Da Luo is still recuperating, and the Bucks do not have a big center who can protect the basket, why can they hold the penalty area?
First of all, because the Bucks have enough outside defensive resources, Holliday, Allen, Middleton, and Di Vincenzo can all defend. Secondly, the Bucks' real center this season is actually the alphabet, and Since Luo can't play, he is the real patron saint of the Bucks' penalty area.
From attacking to defending the Lakers are not opponents of the Bucks, it is strange that they can fight.
It may be a little strange to say this, but it is true: the Lakers' loss to the Bucks does not matter at all, because the gap is too big, and the important thing is that this is the Lakers' fourth loss after the comeback of the thick eyebrows.
Thick Brow came back from playing the Nets to playing bucks, a total of 8 games, Thick Brow played 7 games (the Hornets did not play), the Lakers 3 wins and 4 losses. If you count the loss to the Hornets, it's 3 wins and 5 losses.
The three games won were the Nets and Knicks in a losing streak, and the Trail Blazers who gave up this season and met slightly stronger or better-form teams all lost.
Why is this important?
Because after the thick eyebrow injury, the outside world thought that the Lakers would completely collapse, but Vogel pushed James to the fifth position, so that the Lakers collapsed not so completely.
At this time, the injury of the thick eyebrows has become hope, is it possible that the thick eyebrows will return and the Lakers can get on the right track?
But the less than 50% winning percentage after the comeback of the thick eyebrows completely shattered this hope. If the Lakers still want to maintain some competitiveness in this year's playoffs, they will have to make some changes to the lineup.
There are two kinds of changes, the first of which is direct substitution. According to TA, Pelinka is quoting Tucker and Nunn everywhere, as well as a future first round, but the effect does not appear to be obvious at the moment.
I know all lakers fans want to replace Wei Shao, but the problem is that you all know that Wei Shao has a problem, why do you ask other general managers to be the receivers?
It is not realistic to want to change Wei Shao, and it is not that the father and son bureau are embarrassed to open their mouths.
Since Wei Shao can't move, let's return to reality. In addition to the direct substitution of the lineup, there is a second way is to change the positioning, can the Lakers change the positioning of Wei Shao in the lineup?
Westbrook is the Lakers' starting point guard now, but he has actually become unable to play. He let go of the inevitable high mistakes, the Lakers obviously asked him to control his own mistakes, he hesitated when he thought more, so the original characteristics of opening and closing were gone.
But if you don't let him hold the ball and play without the ball instead, this way is more wasteful of the timer, and God knows how many will be thrown in one game.
So the Lakers need to give Westbrook a free space to hold the ball and let go, and there is only one answer left - the sixth person.
So is it possible for the Lakers to let Westbrook play as a substitute and completely separate him from James?
It seems like a fantasy to have a player with $40 million play sixth man, but don't laugh. The Lakers may not only start to think so, but may even have begun to do so.
In the final quarter with the Bucks, Westbrook did not play a second, but the Lakers chased the 24-point difference in the third quarter to only 11 points.
This is not the first time that Westbrook has been hidden in the snow at a critical moment, the last time was the overtime of the Knicks game before the Bucks, and Westbrook was also pressed on the bench. The reason for this is probably because Westbrook did nothing but one shot in the final 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Lakers eventually reversed the Knicks in overtime.
Westbrook was first hidden by the Lakers in the final four minutes of a Pacers game on Jan. 20, when he came on the Pacers led by 1 point 88-87, and when he was on the court, the Pacers turned into a 7-point lead at 101-94, and Vogel replaced him.
After the Bucks game, Westbrook said, "I have the right to be in the final lineup," but Vogel clearly didn't think so.
If Wei Shao slowly accepted that he could not play the final lineup, then could he play the sixth man further? The bottom line is so broken step by step, come up to the roof of the house everyone is certainly not happy, then I first open a window can not? After a while, the windows are open, and the roof must not be lifted?
I still remember that at the beginning of the year to the Thunder's media day, the reporter asked Anthony whether it was possible to play as a substitute in the new season, And Anthony laughed and repeated the question to Paul George.
How was Gua ge at that time compared to Wei Shao now? What about Guago's situation and changes later?
I don't know if Wei Shao was at the scene when the reporter asked the question, nor did I know how he felt in his heart at that time.
At first I didn't know the meaning of the song, and then I smelled it again.
Thanks for reading it all!
