The Los Angeles Lakers have been in a slump lately, ending their game with the Grizzlies with four consecutive losses.
LeBron James makes no secret of the fact that the Lakers have lost 10 of their last 13 games, including four in a row. "We're just terrible right now," he said. ”
The Lakers have struggled in recent games, losing 113-127 against the Grizzlies. Although James contributed 32 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals in the game, his teammates and head coach were not good enough.
Anthony Davis scored 31 points on 22-of-13 shooting, while Austin Reaves contributed 19 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists.
The Grizzlies played well with their three-point shots, hitting 23 three-pointers against the Lakers' regular defensive style, and if the Lakers could have stepped up their perimeter defense, maybe the outcome would have been different.
The Lakers are currently in a slump and the team needs to take the challenge seriously, and after back-to-back losses, the team's unity and self-confidence have been tested.
Key players such as James and Davis are aware of the dilemma the team is facing right now, emphasizing the need to work harder, stay united and work together to find a solution to the problem. At the same time, the coaching staff is also looking for strategies to bounce back and try to get the team out of the slump.
When a team is in a slump for a long time, it really hurts the fans. The Lakers' recent record has been disappointing, especially considering they have a healthy core of players. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were expected to be on the court, but the team was repeatedly defeated.
The performance of head coach Hamm has indeed raised some questions. Attention has been paid to whether he is capable of leading the team enough to cope with the current predicament.
I'm calling on the Lakers to make changes in the hope that the Lakers can bounce back. Especially with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in good form, the team's defeat looks even more puzzling.
I don't think there's a need to hesitate to just let LeBron James work as head coach.
LeBron James, as one of the most outstanding players in NBA history, has no one of the kind, and his vision and leadership are unquestionable. Part-time coaching may be able to bring a new atmosphere to the team, especially since James's prestige in the Lakers is extremely high, and no one dares to disobey James's orders.
The most important thing for the Lakers right now is to find a solution to their dilemma. It's important that the team is able to stick together, find the right direction, and do their best to get out of the rut.
The Lakers' losing streak has raised questions about the team and coaching staff, as well as the team's confidence and atmosphere. The team needs to make adjustments in terms of technique, tactics and mentality to find a way to get back on track. The most important thing for the team is to maintain confidence and face difficulties as a team, rather than being swayed by external pressures. The Lakers need to regroup and be in better shape for the next game.
The Lakers have lost 10 of the last 13 games, and every basketball fan will be sad to see such a situation. However, the current Lakers head coach Ham is really poor in coaching, and the Lakers' recent roster is relatively healthy, at least healthier than most opponents, but it is such a bad record.
Ham's coaching performance is really unacceptable, after all, how can LeBron James and Anthony Davis lose so many games when they are both healthy?
What should the Lakers do now?
As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't stand it, the Lakers should quickly fire the current coach Ham and let LeBron James be a part-time head coach to break the game.
Because LeBron James is not only the best player in NBA history, but more importantly, LeBron James has always been able to see into the opponent's tactical loopholes in the game, which is really a rare talent, and he can coach while playing.
