No player who can stand in the NBA is a weak, just like Jordan Jr., there are not too many performance opportunities in the Lakers, but after joining the 76ers, they completely show a different competitive state, is it really because the 76ers are more suitable for Jordan Jr.? In Xiao Feng's view, the lineup is really important for an athlete. The question is, Jordan Jr. hasn't changed much, and it can even be said that his weaknesses haven't improved, why did he play a world of difference between the 76ers and the Lakers?
As mentioned above, the impact of the lineup on the players is still quite large, why is jordan jr.'s performance disappointing when it comes to the Lakers and Nets? In fact, Xiao Feng summed it up, that is, defense. Although the original Nets have good offensive ability, but their defensive ability is really not good, the current Lakers are facing the same problem, the departure of the team's main defensive players has made the Lakers lose the motivation to defend, including James, the Lakers' current style of play has basically bid farewell to defense, where to find someone to wipe Jordan Jr.'s ass, after all, Little Jordan is 33 years old, his physical function is declining, for athletes of his attributes, want to use him well, He must be equipped with a sufficient defensive lineup, and the Lakers do not have such conditions at all.
The Lakers recruited Jordan Jr. and Howard together, in fact, they hope that they will play their own advantages on the inside, to be honest, the expectations of these two centers are still quite high, at the beginning of the season, Vogel also gave Jordan Jr. enough playing time, as the season deepened, Vogel constantly changed the team's lineup, and finally found that these two people are indeed not suitable for the current Lakers. And the 76ers are different, they have the league's top interior player Embiid, to be honest, the arrival of Jordan Jr. is just a try attitude, Embiid can maintain enough fire suppression on the inside line for a long time, Jordan Jr. must not play too much time, averaging about 10 minutes per game, it is still okay to go up and hold on for a while, and most importantly, they also have passing masters like Harden to help Jordan Jr. deliver ammunition, just like Jordan Jr. himself said, for big players, Or any player who wants to get an easy scoring chance, Harden is the best teammate, of course, the 76ers defense is far beyond the Lakers.
All along, the 76ers is the embiid as the core of the interior play, the arrival of Jordan Jr., can achieve a perfect fit, Jordan Jr.'s brightest moment is Rivers's disciple, now after the two people reunited, it can be said that Rivers is very comfortable with Jordan Jr., and Jordan Jr. in the game against the Bulls, although only played 10 minutes, but he filled his own data column, 2 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, as if to find the second spring.
In fact, for Jordan Jr., as long as there is no problem in attitude, he can become Embiid's substitute player, he not only has a tonnage but also a height, the inside line of the rebound will not suffer losses, although the pace is slow This is an indisputable fact, but the 76ers are very adapted to the existence of Jordan Jr., they also have enough strength to support jordan Jr.'s only playing time, as long as Jordan Jr. can come up with 100% of his efforts per game to help Embiid support for about 10 minutes, which is enough.
The combination of Harden and Embiid this season has made us see a lot of surprises, especially the two people's blocking and dismantling cooperation is a headache for the opponent, and now the 76ers are strong, if Jordan Jr. can correct his attitude, maybe this season can really follow Harden to mix a championship.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
