Los Angeles Lakers this season continues to have problems, James and Thick Brow Brother suffered injuries at the beginning of the season, Westbrook effect is not good, and now James and Thick Brow Brother return to the Lakers, and play very efficient and fierce in the data and state, but the Lakers record has not improved, why? Are they all Wei Shao's pots? Maybe that's not the case. In the game between the Lakers and the Blazers, Wei Shao's back was uncomfortable and he did not play, and some people said that the Lakers coaching staff directly DNP Wei Shao. Without Wei Shao, Zhan Mei led the team, how to play? Has the effect improved? Chilled! Zhan Mei 47 + 14, the Lakers lost the culprit out! Wei Shao is not there, the living room slippery kneeling?
The Blazers have long since given up this season, their record is not good, Lillard has been reimbursed for the season, McCollum and Powell's two major scoring points have been sent away by the trade, and now the Blazers have only one remnant team left. The Lakers lineup led by James + thick eyebrows can't beat a Trail Blazers remnant? Us media StatMuse tweeted to satirize the Lakers' loss, and the Lakers actually lost to this "super team". The Trail Blazers are young players in this remnant team, and even many fans do not know who they are. The Lakers can't beat this? What do you say is the problem? After the game, a large number of fans in the comments section mocked the Lakers for losing to a remnant: Whose pot, pick up! What the? Turtles are not there? Playing the current Blazers can play like this, the Lakers this season or forget it.
James fought for 37 minutes, shooting 13-of-22 and scoring 30 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Thick-browed brother shot 8-of-11 in this game, with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks. The Zhan Mei combination cut down 47 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists, but could not return to the sky. Blazers young player Simmons played well, with 29 points and five assists. Nurkic can actually shoot 8 of 11, scoring 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, which shows how poor the Lakers' defense is. The Lakers made 21 turnovers in the whole game, James 6, Munch 6, Tucker 4, Bradley 3, which is a big reason for the loss. James said in a post-game interview: "It was a tough loss, I am now so tired that I want to drink some red wine and go to sleep.
After the Lakers lost to the remnant Blazers, they directly went to the second place in the national hot search, and the discussion heat was very exaggerated. The Lakers are now exposing a lot of problems. For example, 21 turnovers in a single game were one of the reasons for losing this game. Second, the Lakers' defensive end is serious, even if there is no Wei Shao, the Lakers defense is still lazy, completely without the defensive spirit of winning the championship in 2020. Third, the Lakers lineup has no vitality, you can clearly see from the game, the Lakers grabbed rebounds, all stood still, maybe tired, maybe not energetic. In this battle, the Lakers only had 3 rebounds in the frontcourt, and the opponent Blazers actually had 11, which was completely exploded. Old Zhan missed the last-minute layup in the game, and then he did not chase back the defense, perhaps old Zhan was physically weak, too old and too tired, but this defensive attitude was really much worse than before.
The Lakers' lineup defense is not good, there is no vitality, these two problems have always existed, whether Westbrook is on the floor or not. In addition, the US media released data shows that so far this season, the Lakers have a winning rate of 47.3% when they have a young man, and a winning rate of 45.7% when they have a thick eyebrow. So after this battle, many fans said that Wei Shao was wronged, and many problems even if there is no Wei Shao, the Lakers still exist. Former NBA player Jamal Crawford also commented publicly: "I have long said that 'blame Russ' is easy to say, but the Lakers' problem is far more than that." ”。 Fans in the comments section said: "Now Wei Shao is silently praising at home and sliding on his knees in the living room." Lakers star James Worthy also said publicly: "This is the lowest point I have seen in many years as a Lakers (player). I don't know what words to use to describe it, because we've used up all the words. ”
