Beijing time on March 5, tomorrow at 8:30 a.m., the Lakers will meet the challenge of the Warriors at home, the Lakers have lost 4 consecutive games, the Warriors have lost 3 consecutively, the Lakers will fall to the tenth place in the West if they lose again, and the Warriors will lose to the third place in the West. The Lakers are likely not to play the playoffs this season, but earlier the Lakers official posted the team's training photos, look at the old Zhan, look at Bazemore and Ariza, the old Zhan is still smiling, Bazemore will face the old owner, facing the camera He is funny.
However, the Focus of the Lakers' discussion today is Wei Shao, Wei Shao's performance and his salary are not proportional, and Wei Shao is often labeled as high salary and low energy.
For the flexibility of the lineup, did the Lakers let the 44 million annual point guard Wei play a wave of substitutions? After the training, Lakers coach Vogel talked about Wei Shao, saying: "The opponent defends Wei Shao, Wei Shao has a good ball when facing Zubac, break through the basket and finish the finish, but he didn't grasp the other rounds. ”
On the offensive end, you can evaluate it yourself. What about Westbrook's defense? Vogel said: "To play a good defensively, then you need to have excellent physical fitness and athleticism, and Westbrook brings that to us, he defends very hard, he competes very hard, if we want to change on the defensive end, then this is what we need. ”
Today's Wei Shao is very embarrassed, the offensive and defensive efficiency league is at the bottom, and the defender playing center is often a small play big textbook, but Wei Shao is often blocked.
First, Wei Shao has no projection threat, the three-point shooting rate so far in the season is 28.4%, and you can see a lot of opponents defending Wei Shao's three-point vacancy of at least 2 meters in the game, but Wei Shao is still unable to respond to the opponent.
Second, Wei Shao's physical fitness declined, in the past it was the end of the dunk, and now it is the end of the layup, but the layup may not be able to advance! Third, Wei Shao will not defend against demolition + will have passive defense.
After the Lakers lost to the Clippers, Wei Shao, who had 17 points, 8 baskets and 3 assists on 7 of 16 in 29 minutes, faced the reporter's step by step, and finally Wei Shao said that he did not have any expectations for this season.
