Lakers VS Nuggets, G1 time is finalized, the comparison of players in 6 positions, who is strong and who is weak is clear at a glance
The Lakers entered the playoffs with the seventh-place spot in the West and faced the second-placed Nuggets in the series. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers recently played 0-8 Nuggets. Lakers vs Nuggets, G1 time is finalized, and it will kick off at 08:30 on April 21. It's quite friendly to domestic fans, and on weekend mornings, you don't have to get up early and stay up late.
The comparison of players in the 6 positions is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak. Point guard: Russell VS Murray, Murray averaged 21.2+6.5 data per game this season, and shot 42.5% of three-point shots, Russell can't compare with him. Shooting guard: Reaves vs. Pope, Pope has played with the Lakers before, mainly defending and shooting threes. Without Reaves's trust with James, Reeves has also had outbursts, and now he tends to be stable, and he is a little stronger than Pope in terms of ability.
Small forward: James VS Porter, don't care about James's age, he is always so strong and explosive, but physical strength is a hidden danger, Porter is outstanding, but he can't compare with Lao Zhan in terms of ability.
Power forward: Hachimura VS Gordon, Gordon's physical fitness is strong, although he plays as a power forward, he should be the main defense James on the court, Hachimura's starting stability is not bad, and the defensive end is slightly insufficient. Judging from the ability to limit the opponent's core players, Gordon is obviously stronger than Hachimura.
Center: Thick eyebrows VS Jokic, thick eyebrows are very strong, but there are not many ways to deal with the center of European players. Jokic has proven his ability for several seasons in a row, and the triple-double stats can be played at will, and there is no doubt that Jokic has an advantage in this group of matchups.
Sixth man: Prince vs. Jackson, Jackson is actually not as big as Brown last season, in other words, this season's Nuggets, bench depth has dropped. Prince is mostly defensive and three-pointers, but also Dinwiddie and Vincent, which is a lot better than last year's roster depth.
The Lakers have some advantages in terms of shooting guards, small forwards and bench benches, but the Nuggets play around Jokic, and the team has a plateau advantage and a stable advantage. The Nuggets are missing Green and Brown, and the Lakers didn't lose a few points in the playoffs last year. was caught off guard by Murray, no one can limit him, see if he can adjust this year, even if he can't be limited, I hope there is a player to benchmark him.
This year is an Olympic year. A number of stars will be participating. If you go all the way, your physical fitness will not be able to keep up. The Lakers should not be swept this year, and may win 1-2 games to save a little face. Then you can rest early and prepare for the Olympics. Otherwise, even if a young man plays an extra month of competition in the offseason, he will not be able to withstand the high-intensity competition of the Olympic Games.
