After a boring All-Star weekend, the NBA regular season continued, and on the first day of the game restart, Lao Gu selected two hot games to do a simple analysis, namely Warriors vs Lakers and Spurs VS Lone Ranger, as for the rest of the game analysis, Lao Gu will share and provide in the circle! I think Lao Gu wrote well, friends pay attention to and like, thank you!
The Warriors are currently 29-29 and 9th in the West, just one win behind the 6th Mavericks in the West, but only one win ahead of the 12th Blazers in the West. The team's playoff situation is precarious, and in the absence of Curry, the core of the team, in the competitive West, if the Warriors cannot stabilize the top ten ranking before Curry's return, this season is undoubtedly a failure for the Warriors, knowing that the Warriors paid $87 million in luxury taxes this season, ranking first in the league.
According to the latest news ahead, the main forward in the team, but also the team's defensive gate Wiggins left the team for personal reasons, and there is no news of returning to the team, in addition, the big brother Iguodala is still plagued by injuries and cannot play, new signing Payton Jr. will miss the next few games due to injury, which is undoubtedly worse for the Warriors, the team suddenly lacks so many core players, in such a competitive West, the team wants to stabilize the playoff spot is afraid that it is difficult.
The Lakers got Russell, Vanderbilt, Beasley, and Bamba before the trade deadline, greatly improving the team's strength on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Currently located outside the playoffs, it can be seen in the management signings that the Lakers must enter the playoffs this season, and will not give up easily in the next 23 games.
In the last game against the Pelicans, Coach Hamm adopted a new starting lineup, which had a very good effect, and the addition of Russell and Beasley improved the team's outside strength. This season, Russell has played in 54 games in place of the Timberwolves, averaging 39.1% three-point shooting per game, and has become the biggest threat to the outside after coming to the Lakers.
When Jam Mei and Russell and Beasley are on the court at the same time, the opponent's defensive choices will be at a loss, when choosing to defend the outside three-pointer, Jam Mei will easily hit the basket to cause damage, and when the opponent shrinks the defense, the outside three-point good shot will be more, so the addition of these two is not only an improvement in the strength of the team, but also allows the team to have more tactical options and play more easily.
In the last game against the Pelicans, Vanderbilt defended Ingram to a good effect, and I believe that in the game against the Warriors, it will be directly leading Poole, who has been in good form recently, but if the defensive intensity comes up, it is inevitable that the number of errors will increase. In addition, the interior combination of the Lakers' side is also a more difficult problem for the Warriors to solve, and the 205cm Looney is difficult to gain the upper hand when facing Jamei and Bamba, and it will be more difficult to protect the rebound.
In addition, defense is also a major problem facing the Warriors at present, this season the Warriors' defense is simply terrible, averaging 118.5 points per game in the second lowest in the West, and now that Wiggins' return is undecided, the team's defensive end is bound to collapse even more! As far as the pre-game data and pre-game information are obtained, this game is more optimistic about the Lakers playing at home to win the game!
The other game is the Spurs vs the Lone Ranger, this game of disparity is relatively unsuspenseful, this game for the Lone Ranger is more to hone the team's cooperation. At present, the Lone Rangers have suffered three consecutive losses, and after the introduction of Irving, the team is expected to enter the upper half of the West this season, take the initiative in their own hands, and believe that they are not willing to meet the Suns or Clippers in the first round in the playoffs, so the team will try to win more games.
In the game after Doncic and Irving combined, the team has not won the game, after a long All-Star weekend, I believe that the team's run-in will be better, coupled with the team's super offensive firepower, and the Spurs side is a team with poor defense, and it is very likely that the game will be played. Based on the event information and pre-match data so far, the Lone Ranger won this game!
