It's finally here! Thick eyebrows were injured, Ham changed formations, and the Lakers gained 24+8 combat power, and the front line was not worried

So far this season, he has averaged 16.3 shots per game, shooting a career-high 62.8% true shooting percentage.

To say more, 76.3% of the shots with thick eyebrows come from the inside.

More than three-quarters of his shots came from the interior with more defensive intensity, and he also threw up some of his career's best offensive efficiency. I have to say that the thick eyebrows at this stage are at their peak.

However, the thick eyebrows are injured again as in previous seasons. So, in the game against the Rockets, Ham made a change of formation - Wood started on top. It is worth mentioning that this is his first time representing the Lakers as a starter.

It's just that this performance is not satisfactory.

In terms of data, in the 22 minutes of play, there was only one shot, not to mention, and the shot was missed. Even two free throws were a no-brainer.

In addition, on the defensive end, Shin Kyung scored 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting under Wood's opposing defense.

Judging from the data, Wood is attacking, not attacking; Prevent, can't be prevented. More important than the stats: the dreams of Lakers fans have been shattered.

To be precise, being alone is in line with the basic salary. Potentially, without thick eyebrows, Wood's presence was almost useless.

Of course, it wasn't all bad news against the Rockets.

For example, Prince, who returned from injury, shot 3-of-6 and 1-of-2 from three-point range. On the offensive end, as always, efficiency is guaranteed. In addition, there is Hachimura.

It was because of Prince's arrival that even though Vanderbilt was injured and unable to play, Hachimura still couldn't get a chance to start.

However, as Ginobili did at the end of his career. Whether it's the first or the last, you can contribute to the team by playing the game.

Statistically, in the 24 minutes he played, Hachimura scored 24 points and added 8 rebounds on 10-of-14 shooting. 24+8, to a large extent, Hachimura has shaken off the previous slump.

I think it's more important for the Lakers to get back to form than to lose.

Reason 1: As I said earlier, Hachimura is back on the bench because of Prince's arrival. So far this season, the Lakers have averaged 24.3 points per game off the bench, only better than the Celtics' 23.1 points.

As Hachimura returns to form, the Lakers' offensive firepower off the bench will inevitably increase. This leads to an increase in the win rate.

Reason 2: Under Russell's inconsistent performance and Reaves' sluggish state, the Lakers lack a player who can score consistently except for James.

Although Hachimura does not have the stability of James, his good mid-range shooting is still the key to the team's "icebreaking", just like Leonard and Durant.

Of course, in addition to the above two points, I think there is another point that cannot be ignored - the Lakers forward line is not worried.

Reddish, Prince, Vanderbilt, and Hachimura can say that the Lakers can send a forward group at certain points in the game. In this way, the pressure on James will inevitably be reduced.
