In the latest forecast of the US media, the current top 3 of the probability of winning the championship is the Celtics, the Suns, the Bucks, the Probability of the Lakers winning the championship is less than 0.1%, which is not as good as the Pelicans 0.1%, the US media predicts that the Lakers' current probability of winning the championship is not as good as the Pelicans, which is really very hard to bear, which seems to be a little difficult to accept, so here the Octopus may wish to bring these 3 points of this article, these 3 points may be able to see how difficult it will be for them to win the championship?
Efficiency values are in the middle to low range
So far this season, the Lakers offensive efficiency value is 108.4, which is 24th in the league, the defensive efficiency value is 110.3, which ranks 15th in the league, fans often say that the defense wins the championship, in fact, the Lakers' defense is not good now, more importantly, their offense is not outstanding, or that now the Lakers do not have any highlights, their efficiency value performance is in the league's low-end level, regular season performance does not represent the performance of the playoffs, but in the low intensity of the regular season, it is really difficult to expect them to suddenly change in the playoffs, and the team that wants to win the championship is afraid of having a fatal weakness in it, but if the whole body is a weakness That's really hard!
The Big Three spend less time present
The Lakers do have the Big Three, but in fact, so far in the regular season this season, the Lakers have played 61 games, a total of 2973 minutes, and the Lakers' big three combination has only 359 minutes on the floor at the same time, which accounts for only 12%, and the main force of the team must not be able to play full time, but it is not too much to play about 30%, right? The Lakers' big three combination is currently 18% away from 30% of the time at the same time, which is terrible, which means that the Lakers nominally have the big three, in fact, they are difficult to come up with the big three combination on the court, the regular season is not good to take out, the playoffs can be taken out steadily? The only thing we can be sure of is that the Lakers' big three have not experienced enough running-in, and there is no chemical reaction between their big three that is enough to compete for the championship.
There are too many teams with three cores
Want to win the championship must consider the intensity of the opponent, the Lakers currently ranked ninth in the West, the 20th in the league, which seems to be able to reflect the east strong and weak league environment, not surprisingly, the Suns, Warriors, Nets will have a complete lineup in the playoffs, these 3 teams have three cores, plus the defending champion Bucks, Harden + Harris + Embiid's Philadelphia, Lavin + DeRozan + Vucevic's Bulls, there are too many teams with three cores, even if the Lakers come up with the big three, Many teams can also break the wrist with the Lakers in the core of the lineup, and the current NBA is different from the past, coupled with Zhan Huang's age, Wei Shao's past performance, and the glass attributes of the thick eyebrow brother, this season the Lakers want to win the championship, it is indeed too difficult, right?
