Key figures and stats for the Lakers to win the championship
As we know, the Lakers won the championship in the 19-20 season. The championship was won thanks to two key figures in the team, James and Thick Eyebrows. Statistics show that James and Bushy Brother have an average goal difference of 14.8 on the court, the best among players over 200 minutes. In addition to James and Thick Brows, Rondo is also a figure that cannot be ignored. Rondo's numbers have been pretty good this season, contributing 6.6 assists in 25 minutes, seventh in the league. Rondo, on the other hand, will play no less than 10 games, and his assists are on par with Murray's. Rondo's efficient organization not only reduces James' pressure on the ball, but also gives the bench players more scoring opportunities. In the 19-20 season, out of 16 teams, substitutes averaged 33.8 points per game, ranking fifth. Moreover, Rondo is also very strong in personal attack, and he averages 0.205 points per game, not losing to Siakam and Louis Williams. All in all, Rondo is undoubtedly the Lakers' No. 3 man.
Pope's scoring ability and defense are indispensable
In addition to Rondo, Pope also performed well. He shot 37.8 percent from three-point range and 35.6 percent from three-point range. And when he shoots the ball into the basket from 6 feet away, he shoots 40 percent from three-point range. This shows his ability to seize opportunities and score goals. Pope's skills in shooting from the outside and finding open space helped the Lakers a lot. In the 19-20 season, James and Thick Eyebrow's points in the playoffs mainly came from the inside, and Pope's projection gave them more scoring space and thus more scoring opportunities. In addition, Pope has the ability to convert effective passes into assists and goals. This was especially evident in the playoffs, where James had 8.8 assists in 60.6 passes, compared to 3.5 of his 38.0 crosses. On the defensive side, Pope also played a key role. His performance on the defensive end reduced the opposing team's shooting percentage from 45.7 percent to 43.2 percent. In addition, Pope can also face taller people, such as Grant or Butler, and he can control the opponent's shooting well.
Prince's place with the Lakers
After the 19-20 season, the Lakers will lose a key 3D core Pope. So, they started looking for Prince on the free market. Prince also had a decent run in this game, shooting 38.1 percent from 3-point range and averaging 1.4 3-pointers per game. Defensively, he was able to compress his shots from 46.6 percent to 46.3 percent, even on 35 percent of three-pointers. Prince's personality is similar to Pope's, and he's also a player with a 3D style. This could not be more appropriate for the Lakers, especially for James and Bushybrow. So, there's no doubt that the Lakers got Prince, which is good news for the Lakers. He can not only help the team, but also improve the team's combat effectiveness. Overall, people like James, Thick Eyebrows, Rondo, Pope, and Prince helped the Lakers win the championship in the 19-20 season. Their outstanding performances in the game, as well as their personality, have helped the team a lot, both offensively and defensively. James and thick eyebrows are the absolute center, Rondo's ball handling ability is easy for James, Pope's projection and defense create more space for the team, and Prince's addition can meet the Lakers' need for 3D. The Lakers can win the championship because of their excellent performance.
