Dear fans and friends, the recent sharp decline in the Lakers' record has made people sweat. This former championship team is now in trouble, how can it save itself?
Let's take a look at the Lakers' current situation and think about how to deal with it.
After two consecutive defeats, the Lakers fell again in the rankings
The Lakers have had a terrible last two games, first to the Timberwolves and then to the Pelicans. These two losses directly caused the Lakers to drop to ninth in the West, and were overtaken by the Suns.
With such a decline, people can't help but worry about whether the Lakers can return to the top.
Since the Lakers finished the midseason, there have been problems within the team. In addition to Vincent, a number of key players such as Russell, Hachimura and Reddish have struggled with injury problems. This also directly led to the Lakers' recent two consecutive losses.
Injury problems to be solved, Lakers fan base mocked the change of coach
Faced with frequent setbacks, head coach Ham began to find all kinds of excuses to excuse himself. Injuries are one of his favourite excuses. In this regard, many Lakers fans can't stand it anymore and have called for a change of coach on social media.
'We're having some unfortunate injuries. Ham's remarks were caricatured by Lakers fans as "rainbow fart."
Indeed, if you have been pushing the blame for a long time, but you can't change the status quo of the loss, I am afraid that you will no longer be able to gain the trust of the players and fans. If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is only a matter of time before Hamm is out of class.
The situation is hot, Reeves has been reduced to a trade chip, and Zhan Huang is trying to protect the rookie
Even if the Lakers' overall performance is not good, it is not without bright spots. Rookie Reaves has been on fire lately and has become the third scorer behind James and AD. Despite being demoted from starter to substitute, Reeves' stats have not been affected, but have improved. He averaged 15.2 points and 4.9 assists per game, and his three-point and cutting ability is excellent, showing the potential of a new generation of shooters.
However, the good times were short-lived. Due to the long-term injuries of other key players, rumors of a trade are endless. Both the Bulls and the Hawks want to use Reaves as a chip to trade for a quality player from the Lakers.
This puts Reeves in danger of being traded. And James has expressed his position for the first time, saying that he wants to keep the young rookie. This undoubtedly makes people feel the warmth they haven't felt for a long time.
If you want to rely on Venla, there is no way to trade, and the Lakers have a hard time saving themselves
In order to solve the dilemma, Lakers management has been interested in strengthening the power by completing big-name trades through Russell and AD. But the lack of interest in the two men by the Bulls and Hawks, both of whom the trade partners, has made the Lakers face an embarrassment in the trade.
Internally, some fans are calling for a swift trade for blood. Others are convinced that changing tactics and changing managers is the solution.
In any case, the Lakers still have a difficult road to winning another championship in the final stages of James' career.
Where do we go from here? The Lakers need to figure out their own way
At the moment, the Lakers are in a trough, full of problems, and the road to self-help is difficult. We see that Lao Zhan and AD are still trying their best, and we hope that the team can get back on track. So where should the Lakers go from here?
What can management do to make the Lakers soar again? These are questions that the Lakers must find answers as soon as possible.
No matter what the outside world thinks, I believe that as long as the Lakers are united from top to bottom and do not avoid solving problems, they will be able to turn the danger into a disaster and re-establish the Lakers empire.
Some netizens said: It's time for Ham to get out of class, and the Lakers need a new atmosphere.
Some netizens said: The injury problem can't be solved, and the Lakers are paper tigers.
Some netizens said: I am optimistic about the AD Zhan combination, they will lead the Lakers to rebound!
Dear fans and friends, that's all for today. Let's wait and see if the Lakers can complete their transformation at this difficult time!
