The Western Conference rankings are now very intense, and the Grizzlies and Nuggets are again with the same record (29-13) and are vying for the first place in the West. The Warriors, Clippers and Timberwolves have a 0-win gap, and the Jazz, Suns and Trail Blazers have a 0-win gap. Although the Los Angeles Lakers only ranked 13th in the West, they were only one win away from ninth place in the West. This shows that the competition for places in the playoffs and playoffs is very anxious, and it is difficult to divide the ranks, and no one dares to say that they will enter the playoffs steadily, and no one dares to say that they will win the play-off places. The thick-eyed brother is about to return, and if the Lakers play well in the second half, they still have a very good chance of making the playoffs. 29 minutes 14 boards! Join the Lakers Nirvana rebirth, the strongest starting lineup is born, or can change the sky.
For the Lakers' lineup this season, the most criticized by fans is: Pelinka actually made an 8-guard lineup, resulting in a particularly small number of Lakers inside and forward players, and the Lakers' internal scoring and rebounding problems are a bit serious. Lakers general manager Pelinka's idea of forming a team has always had problems, when he let Caruso go, traded Kuzma and Pope and others, Pelinka was criticized and criticized by fans. This season, the Lakers Pelinka, can only use some base salary to sign young players, come back to strengthen the roster, like Damian Jones, Anderson, Troy Brown, Schroder and Bryant and others, join the Lakers, are the lowest base salary standards.
Right now, the only role player on the Lakers who has a height advantage and plays well is young center Thomas Bryant. With a height of 2.10 meters and an arm span of 2.30 meters, Tob has a very good physical talent. However, a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the Wizards, causing Thomas Bryant to lose his peak strength. Last offseason, Thomas Bryant was unpopular in free agency, and other teams thought he was useless because of a serious injury and a decline in strength. Therefore, Lakers general manager Pelinka can pick up Thomas Bryant with a base salary, unexpectedly, Tob, who joined the Lakers, recently broke out wildly, cut high points, grabbed 10+ rebounds, and was good at offense and defense, becoming an important core of the Lakers' interior line.
For example, in the regular season of the Lakers and Kings, Thomas Bryant efficiently shot 12 of 14, slashed 29 points + 14 rebounds + 1 steal + 2 blocks, and scored a new season high. In the game between the Lakers and the Magic, Thomas Bryant efficiently cut down 21 points + 10 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 block. When Lakers coach Hamm reuses Thomas Bryant, Tob he can often play very efficient, very good statistics, in the thick eyebrow brother injury days, Thomas Bryant as the starting center, the effect is very good, he can help James to guard the inside, efficient scoring, crazy grabs, strong basket protection, he can help the Lakers win the game.
Thomas Bryant joined the Lakers is a rebirth of nirvana, although he is only a role player, but in the Lakers do not have a high roster, Tob is the Lakers' interior pillar, he took on the responsibility of thick eyebrows. Not only did Thomas Bryant convince the fans, but he also received the endorsement of head coach Hamm. Hamdu made it clear in the interview: When the thick-eyed brother returns, the coaching staff is ready to arrange for Tob + thick-eyed brother + James + Lonnie Walker + Schroeder to play the starting lineup. This is the strongest starting lineup for the Lakers, and fans say that Hamm has finally opened up, how good it is to use Tob early, and the thick-eyed brother may not be injured.
In fact, height is very important for NBA player lineups, although the Warriors and Rockets once died five small teams, created many miracles, but without height, no rebounds, not enough inside scoring, after all, the team still can't go far. Everyone says that the Lakers' roster is deformed, and now, Hamm has finally woken up: the Lakers should use a tall lineup with thick eyebrows + Tob + James as the core, which may be able to help the Lakers change their lives and rise again. If the Lakers want to return to the playoffs and playoffs, they must win a streak, and the thick eyebrows have been able to participate in half-court training, and it is no surprise that the thick eyebrows will soon be able to return.
