Old Zhan present Lakers net efficiency +10.8, departure -31!
Just saw this set of data, the heart is full of mixed feelings. In today's Lakers' victory over the Timberwolves, although they won, the process was really unsatisfactory.
After the thick eyebrow injury, the Lakers adopted a small lineup, allowing James to play the starting center, and the Lakers won two games under the condition that the old Zhan scored 30 consecutive points. Maybe Vogel wants to rush to success, or maybe he wants to keep his coaching position, and now the Lakers have made such games the norm.
Facing the Timberwolves, the Lakers lost 28 rebounds and offensive rebounds 4-20, which was the inevitable result of the team's use of a small lineup. When the final quarter game saw old Zhan trying his best at the defensive end, rushing to steal, seeing him become the last barrier on the Lakers' defensive end, he really felt that he was not easy now.
Previously, in a show, Yang Yi said: "Fans saw Curry last season and felt his heartache, and who has ever felt sad about the current old Zhan"? It sounds a little sad in his words, yes, he is 37 years old, what else can he ask him to do? Scoring more is said to be brushing data, scoring less says that he is old and can't do it, after passing the ball is to throw the pot, he shot and played alone, which is really too difficult for old Zhan.
I have to say that the current Lakers are suffering from old Zhan dependence, especially for Vogel. The Lakers want to win, he can only let the old Zhan play more time, today again played the team's highest 39 minutes. When seeing him gasping for breath on the court and putting his hands on his knees in the final quarter, who ever considered that he was a 37-year-old veteran, a veteran in the league's 19th season?
Can the Lakers still win the championship?
The Lakers' performance so far this season, I believe this problem has appeared in the hearts of every fan. Seriously, from the current point of view, the Lakers are still far from this goal, and now old Zhan to play the center is the Lakers' helpless move, now the team wants to win the game can only do so, itself playing the center for a player's consumption is huge, and he is also responsible for defense on the court, but also responsible for the organization, but also ...
As far as the current situation of the Lakers is concerned, I really want to say to Old Zhan that this year we will not compete for this championship? Whether you admit it or not, James is now a treasure trove in the league. Suppose it would feel strange if there was suddenly no sign of him in this alliance now?
Some fans who go black on him also want to pay attention to his dynamics and pay attention to his games every day. This is very puzzling, is it because he is James?
4 championships is already a lot, fans who like you will not care that you finally won several championships, and the first championship of Nuo Tianwang is also recorded in history. It is enough to be able to see you playing on the field in good health, there is no need to consume yourself like this.
Even if you win the championship, even if you win 6 championships, you will still be hacked. There will be some people who say that there is no comparison between looking at jordan's 6 finals and winning 6 championships. The truth is that now, compared to the championship, I would prefer to see you become the first player in NBA history to get 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists.
We'd rather see you finally stand on the NBA stage at the same time as your son, which will be the expectation of countless fans.
What I especially want to say here is that there is a lot to learn from Old Zhan. When he led the team to the Finals in the playoffs in 2018, when he played the whole game in the Seven Games of the Eastern Conference Finals, playing 2+1 with Morris on his back in the last moment, when he scored 51 points in the Finals, Wang Meng once said: "James presented the most perfect performance of a person at work."
If we face the work and face our own future, we can face any problems and difficulties with that attitude like Lao Zhan, I believe we will certainly achieve some achievements.
