According to the Lakers reporter, the Los Angeles Lakers will carry out 18 collective trainings this season tomorrow, it is worth mentioning that during the regular season last season, the Lakers only conducted 17 collective trainings, but in the case of the team's abnormally bad record this season, the team coach Vogel can only quickly improve the chemistry of the entire team through this mechanical way. So far in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers have only achieved a record of 26 wins and 31 losses, and are currently ranked ninth in the East, floating on the edge of the play-off qualification area.
Mingzui suggested that the Lakers send away thick eyebrows this summer
Recently, the well-known NBA celebrity A-Smith talked about the current situation of the Lakers in a podcast show, and talked about the problem of the thick eyebrow brother Anthony Davis, Smith said: "The Lakers need to trade Anthony Davis after the end of the season, you can't keep him, as a player, he has his own value, but now that he is 28 years old, his durability will be a question, as he gets older, such problems will appear more and more, so the Lakers should trade him in the offseason. I have to say (by trading) that he's the guy who can get you a lot in return. ”
In the 19-20 season, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Zhan Mei once won the NBA championship, but after the championship-winning lineup gradually fell apart, the overall performance of the Lakers in the past two seasons has been very difficult. During the regular season last season, AD was plagued by injuries, and his attendance became a headache for Vogel, but after the start of the season, due to the team's failure to introduce reinforcements, the Lakers' lineup depth once again slipped down a notch, and the thick eyebrows forced to push to the fifth position were basically in a situation of minor injuries.
Gradually used by Vogel as a blue-collar player
The aging of the lineup and the cliff-like decline at the defensive end are undoubtedly the biggest pain points for the Lakers this season, so in this lineup system that is not good at defense, anthony Davis is entrusted by Vogel, from the protective frame to the blocking and dismantling defense to the outside line, the defense has contained AD's great energy. On the offensive end, Anthony Davis' three-point feel is not ideal this season, with only 16% three-point shooting, a far cry from the 19-20 season, especially in the last two games, AD, the core of the team's interior line, has only three shots in the final quarter combined. The degradation of the lineup has undoubtedly made AD more tired, and it is difficult for him to maintain an efficient attack frame at the offensive end, so many American media have teased: "Under Vogel's hands, AD has become more and more like a blue-collar player." ”
Old Zhan is still the absolute leader of the team, when will AD truly become the leader of the Purple and Gold Army?
From giving up the jersey number to countless interview statements, after winning the championship, James has said more than once that he will gradually and slowly decentralize, and the future of the Purple and Gold Army belongs to Anthony Davis. However, after the start of the season, James is still the absolute leader of this Lakers team on the offensive end, but Anthony Davis, who is more focused on defense, seems to be a little bleak. And the third giant who recently joined the team, Wei Shao, is still in the state of adapting to the team, he and Zhan Mei still have not produced a very good chemical reaction, in today's internal chaos, strong enemies in the environment, when will the high-profile AD really become the team boss?
