Beijing time on December 19th, the NBA regular season continued. Today the Lakers faced the challenge of the Knicks at home. Everyone should know the result of this game. The Lakers lost to the Knicks 109-114. The Lakers lost to the Knicks 109-114. When the opponent was short of major generals, the entire game was suppressed by the opponent. Although the team launched a crazy counterattack in the fourth quarter, the opponent withstood the pressure and made the efforts of James and Big Eyebrow in vain.
Perhaps we should see clearly the current situation of the Lakers after losing this game. They do have a very good lineup, which also ensures that they can win some games, but facing some top teams, especially in the season As a postseason team, it is not easy for the Lakers to win. The Lakers have regained the level of the park eyebrows this season. In this campaign, they made 14 of 22 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists. 2 blocks of data.
James also performed as he should. He made 10 of 23 shots and 3 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. In the final quarter, he scored 11 points and 3 assists, but the Lakers still lost. Well, the reasons for the loss can be attributed to two aspects. One is the lack of a suitable backcourt. Russell was abandoned in the last quarter. He has not been stable enough in tough battles. He scored 9 points on 3 of 10 shots in this game. 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Another reason why the Lakers abandoned him is that his defense is not good enough and he is often targeted by his opponents. Although Reaves is not good at defense, he can provide stable output at critical moments. He made 6 of 15 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. In the final quarter, Brunson singled out Reeves in various ways. He scored 11 points in a single quarter to help the Knicks win. However, Even so, it is estimated that the Lakers will not move on Reeves because he has a big heart, and they may trade Russell.
Then there is the problem of the team's inside line. The Lakers played very passively after Big Eyebrow left the game. Randall seized the opportunity to attack the Lakers' inside line. In this game, he made 12 of 22 shots and 4 three-pointers. He scored 27 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists in 1. Randall has played smarter recently. He reduced his mid-range shots and increased more inside kills. In this campaign, Harteng was the Knicks' winner. Strange soldiers.
In this campaign, Harteng made 3 of 4 shots and scored 9 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He scored 7 offensive rebounds in the game, while the Lakers only had 3 frontcourt rebounds. In this game, the Lakers lost in rebounding. The Knicks got 52 rebounds in the game, while the Lakers only had 41. Especially in the second half, Harteng got 10 rebounds alone. This also became the Knicks' rebound. The key to defeating the Lakers.
Friends who often watch Lakers games this season may be able to find the problem of the current Lakers. They will be very passive when playing against teams with top insiders. So far this season, they have lost to the Nuggets, Kings and 76ers, and even faced the Blues. All-star insiders like Del are a little unable to handle it. Apart from Big Eyebrow, their inside line really has no qualified center. During the offseason, Big Eyebrow asked the management to introduce a suitable center. , I want to play the 4th position, and then play the 5th position at the critical moment.
The reason why the thick eyebrows did this was to maintain better health, but Pelinka did not do this, and what he did was even a little perfunctory. In the offseason, he signed Vincent with a big contract, and also renewed Russell and Reeves, which improved the team's backcourt thickness. At the same time, he renewed Vanderbilt and eight forwards. Murata signed Prince and Reddish, but they only used two basic salaries to acquire two players inside.
One is Hayes, with a 2-year contract worth 4.3 million. Hayes is the No. 8 pick in the first round and has a good ability to eat pie. Looking at the contract alone, he is indeed profitable, but Hayes also has a problem, he is inexperienced. , he hardly got many opportunities during the Pelicans period. After he came on the court, he played sloppily, and even the finishing efficiency was not good. Hamm rarely used him. He played only 7 minutes in this campaign and averaged 11 minutes per game so far this season. The data of 3 points and 2 rebounds were mostly tossed on the bench.
The next one is Wood. The team signed him with a two-year contract worth 5.73 million. Wood does not even get as many playing opportunities as Hayes most of the time. He has not gotten any playing time in this campaign. So far this season. Although he can average 20 minutes per game, as mentioned earlier, he does not get a chance to play most of the time. With averages of 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist per game this season, the team's positioning is like a water dispenser manager.
Wood has no defense, and Hayes has no experience. He is not a qualified insider for a winning team at all. This is why Wood did not get a contract during the offseason. I think the Lakers should do it out of health and winning. Think about introducing a suitable inside partner for thick eyebrows, which will be more conducive to the team winning.
