17+8!13+8!Join the Lakers and regain your life, you are the most offensive and defensive helper
The Los Angeles Lakers have an 18-19 record, 10th in the West, and are on the fringes of the play-in tournament, an awkward position. Previously, the Lakers suffered a four-game losing streak to the Heat, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, and Pelicans. In the key game, the Lakers and the Clippers played against each other, but I didn't expect that the Lakers, who had lost four in a row, actually won the Clippers who won five in a row. James defended Leonard, who shot 0 of 6, and Lao Zhan's defensive threat was still strong enough. 17+8!13+8!Join the Lakers and regain your life, you are the most offensive and defensive helper.
The Lakers have a lot of forward talent this season, with a lot of forward players who are more than two meters, however, Hachimura has recently been absent due to injury, Reddish has played too poorly recently, and Vanderbilt's scoring ability is too poor, which has led to the Lakers' forward scoring pressure all on James. Before Hachimura's injury, he scored more 15+ points in a single game, shooting 50% from the field, and he was a more important scorer for the Lakers' front line, able to share the pressure on James and Brother Bush. Now that Hachimura is temporarily unable to play, who can replace Hachimura and stand up to score to help Zhan Mei relieve the pressure of scoring on the front?
That one player turned out to be Wood, who has been doing an excellent job of scoring and rebounding in consecutive games recently. For example, in the Lakers and Spurs, Wood shot 7 of 10 efficiently, cut 17 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks, filling the data column, and doing everything very well. In the game between the Lakers and the Heat, Wood efficiently cut down the data of 13 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 blocks. The Lakers and Grizzlies played each other, and Wood scored 11 points + 5 rebounds + 1 steal + 1 block. In the game between the Lakers and the Clippers, Wood shot 4 of 5 and scored 9 points + 10 rebounds + 2 blocks.
After the Clippers' loss to the Lakers, Tyronn Lue bluntly said that James Wood is a very tall player, and they caused a lot of trouble for us. NBA reporters released statistics that Wood has made a total of 169 shots and grabbed 181 rebounds this season, and Wood is a representative of excellent blue-collar players, and he is the most important rebounder on the Lakers' bench lineup. Wood said in his own interview that I am similar to Zhan Mei's size, and we can perform defensive changes when we play at the same time, and I can be in the position of helping the defense to help Brother Bush grab rebounds.
In fact, Wood has always been a good scorer (relative to role players), and he also averaged 16.7 points per game as a bench player for the Mavericks last season. This season, Wood joined the Lakers with a base salary, and he chose to start from defense, change his mind, correct his defensive Xi, play strong defense, and help the Lakers win. Lakers reporters report that Wood's defensive efficiency is 108.0 this season (19th in the league), and he is the Lakers' best role player defensively. Wood really did what he said, changed his defensive Xi, played a strong defensive confrontation, and helped Zhan Mei win.
Wood joined the Lakers at the whistle and regained his life, replaying the strongest defense of his career, and becoming a supporter of both offense and defense around James and Bushy Eyebrows. Lakers players Vincent and Hachimura are both in the midst of injuries, and the Lakers officially announced the signing of a new signing: Skyler Mays, who played for the Trail Blazers this season, averaging 6.3 points + 1.8 rebounds + 3.6 assists per game. The Lakers still need to adjust to the run-in, the whole team must remain as aggressive as the Clippers, and Ham must lead the team to maintain the winning streak and improve the Lakers' record in order to retain his position.
