Two days ago in the regular season, the Lakers won 106-101 at home to the Jazz, this battle lakers won is not easy, the second quarter, the third quarter was suppressed, until the fourth quarter more than half of the 80-92 behind, the last half of the quarter, the Lakers played a wave of 26-9, successfully reversed the game.
After this game, the Lakers ended a three-game losing streak, with an All-Star pre-game record of 27 wins and 31 losses, ranking ninth in the West, six wins away from the Nuggets (33 wins and 25 losses) in the West, and 4.5 wins ahead of the fourth-to-last Pelicans in the West (23 wins and 36 losses) - in addition to the leading Suns, Warriors, and Grizzlies, the other teams in the West are still fierce in the playoff competition, and one or two more losses may not even be able to score in the playoffs.
Back to the game, winning is naturally happy, but this game, the Lakers also paid a tragic price - the game to the end of the second quarter, thick eyebrows in a scramble for the ball to land on the right foot, when he fell to the ground, the expression is very painful, the scene once appeared stretcher.
In the end, Thick Brow left the field with the support of his teammates, and before leaving, Thick Brow had already scored 17 points, and he scored 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter.
Due to the exaggerated circumstances of thick eyebrow injury, many people are worried that he suffered a season reimbursement level injury, but the final result is not so serious - thick eyebrows are reportedly sprained from the right foot arch, no structural damage, and are expected to miss at least four weeks of games.
Just in time for the All-Star, thick eyebrows can have a good rest, here, we also briefly summarize the state of thick eyebrows.
As of the All-Star, Thick Brow has played in 37 games for the Lakers, averaging 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocks, 1.2 steals, 53.7% shooting percentage, 18.2% three-point shooting, 70.9% free throw shooting, and 58.2% true shooting rate per game.
The advantage of thick eyebrows is still evident, and this season he shot a total of 222 of 301 shots from within 5 feet of the basket, shooting 73.8 percent, a career high.
At the same time, thick eyebrows are good enough on the defensive end, and the players he is in position have dropped from 58.1% to 51.6% from 10 feet below the basket, and the shooting rate from more than 15 feet has dropped from 35.8% to 32.7%, and he is still the best defensive machine in the small-ball era.
However, thick eyebrows' long-range shots are really outrageous, and this season thick eyebrows have shot a total of 66 three-point shots, only 12 of which have been hit, in addition, his long-range performance is also very bleak:
- 10-14 feet, 23-of-72, shooting 31.9%
- 15-24 feet, 57-of-135, shooting 42.2% from the field.
The Lakers are not originally a player with very good space, and after the thick eyebrow shooting declines, the team's offense will become more difficult.
On the bright side, Thick Brow looks like it's picking up, not counting the injured game, in the 7 games before that, Thick Brow scored 25+ in 4 times, averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 57.4% from the field and shooting 60.3% from the field.
The bad news is that Thick Brow still hasn't gotten rid of the injury attributes — we've always disliked using "Glass Man" to describe players, but this season alone, Thick Brow has suffered different injuries, including sprained thumbs, ankle soreness, thigh contusion, and in the previous game with the Timberwolves, Thick Brow left the court twice in one game, the first time he lost his foot, fortunately there was no major obstacle, the second knee was injured, and then rested for more than a month.
Add another point - fans' expectations for thick eyebrows have actually stayed in the 2020 park, that year in the playoffs, thick eyebrows can average 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 57.1% from the field, shooting 38.3% from three-point range, and shooting 66.5% from the field, when he also sent a historic moment of over-the-top whistle three-point shooting against the Nuggets.
In contrast, it is impossible not to disappoint, after winning the championship that year, many people are looking forward to the thick eyebrows to be able to end james's torch to support the Lakers, as a result, the state declines, injuries continue, until this season, he did not even select the All-Star, eight consecutive years of All-Star record was interrupted.
It is worth mentioning that after the thick eyebrow was injured again, the outside world also discussed the possibility of trading the thick eyebrow, and a reporter said after the thick eyebrow was injured: "Before he was injured, I said that I would trade Anthony Davis and then start over, this lineup is very bad, the lineup is aging, lack of chemistry and depth." ”
Having said that, the probability of a trade is very, very low, after all, the thick eyebrows are the Lakers spent a lot of draft picks in exchange, and the healthy thick eyebrows are indeed one of the best players in the league, I hope he can come back as soon as possible and prove himself again.
