Markkanen helps the Lakers team up the Super Twin Towers, limiting Jokic's hopes
From the start of the '23-24 season to now, the Lakers are only 6 feet away, just 599% chance to make a shot. For comparison, the data for the piston is 590%.
This means that in the game in the paint area, the Lakers are not even as good as the weak chickens. For me, this is not surprising.
First detail: Wood, Hayes. So far, Wood has shot 61 from the box in under 6 feet in 30-30 games3%。One of the two indicators in Hayes is 387%, one is 613%。
Note 2: Thick eyebrows. So far, he has 416% finished his defense from under 6 feet, and he was limited to 509% hit.
Statistically, neither Wood nor Hayes can control each other well, but thick eyebrows can play a good role. The implication is that the Lakers' paint-zone defense is putting more pressure on the thick eyebrows. It is clear that the management of the team does not want this to happen: injuries are more likely.
The meaning of this sentence is naturally different.
Towns was only 35 at 7:05 with Jokic7% shooting, while Gobert was limited to 2:53 and only 14 shots from 143% hit rate.
Statistically, the Forest's twin towers have a very obvious effect on Jokic. On the other hand, even with thick eyebrows, with the influence of Wood and Hayes, they will not be able to form a combination of twin towers.
But there's one more good thing for the Lakers: Markkanen.
Markkanen is averaging 237,8.7 rebounds. The basic data should be explained as follows:
One is a three-stage attack. Compared to last season, Markkanen is shooting 50 from three-point range this season8%.
Second, the three-point rate, which is the three-point rate. The average three-point shot is just 33 and shot 383%.
In both cases, Markkanen is a tall player who is good at three-point shooting, and his shooting is also effective. At the age of 26, he must be a player who can't be the best.
For Utah, they don't need Olynyk after having Markkanen and Kessler. From that point of view, I think Russell is a good candidate to be traded.
Why: Utah is a reconstituted team. If there are enough conditions, he can buy Russell, and 1+1 will not have any impact on his future operations.
For Bushy Eyebrows and Olynyk, I feel like they can make a perfect twin tower.
First, attack. He's shooting 698% and shot 442 percent, while Olynyk's three-point percentage is 471%。
Second, defense. So far, Olynyk's role in defending opponents under 6 feet is 425% to get the opponent's hit rate from 671% down to 605%。6.6, which means that Olynyk has a good performance in defending the basket. And that's what I said before.
In short, the twin towers are capable of covering all aspects of offense and defense.
Of course, the Lakers also owe it to Markkanen that he was able to build the twin towers. Moreover, with the twin towers, they can also effectively contain Jokic like the Timberwolves.
