Who would have thought that the Wizards would be the first team to win 5 after the season? After sending Off Westbrook in the offseason, they all thought that this team would enter the reconstruction, but they gave people a bright light, and the lineup became more reasonable. And the new players who joined the team are also full of energy and want to prove themselves again.
The first is the Lakers' three veterans: Kuzma, Harrell and Pope, and the Lakers chose to give up the three of them in order to trade wester.
After leaving the Lakers, Pop brought defense to the team, and Kuzma and Harrell were a trick, with excellent performances in succession, everyone contributing to themselves, and the performance was getting better and better. Played 6 games, the data of the three people is also very good.
Harrell averaged 31.5 minutes per game, contributing 19.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists from the field, shooting 61.4% from the field.
Kuzma averaged 36.8 minutes per game, contributing 15.5 points, 11.8 assists and 1.7 assists, shooting 32.4% from three-point range;
Pope averaged 31.5 minutes per game, contributing 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists, shooting 46.2 percent from three-point range.
After the Lakers traded Westbrook, the team has been in the run-in and has not yet found a feeling. Wei Shao's personal ability is beyond doubt, but after joining Los Angeles, he has not yet found his own position, and the chemical reaction is not very good. In fact, from the lakers' point of view, it is understandable to trade Wei Shao, and it is definitely better to form a big three than the two giants, and then it depends on whether Wei Shao can find the rhythm sooner.
In addition to the Lakers' three veterans, the Nets' veteran Dinwiddie also showed good form. The Nets could not keep Dinwiddie in the offseason, but only let him leave on his own, and the latter chose to join the Wizards and make up for the gap left by Westbrook. Dinwiddie, who returned from a serious injury, is also worrying, and once the recovery is not good, the Wizards can lose a lot. Fortunately, he is in good shape, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, contributing 19.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists, and shooting 40.7% from three-point range, which is very much in line with the needs of the Wizards.
Thanks to the Lakers and the Nets, who have got so many high-quality players, the Wizards have now been a big dark horse, ranking first in the East with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, which is still quite surprising.
With these great helpers around him, Wizards Core Bill was not surprised by this achievement, saying: "I told my teammates that we are all part of history now (5 wins and 1 loss is the best start in Wizards history in the past 16 years). ”
Looking at several nets Lakers veterans, there is still a little bit of emotion, do the two teams regret it? Anyway, the Lakers should have some.
