The Lakers signed an interior line for 60 million in 3 years, sharing the pressure of thick eyebrows, and not afraid of Jokic!
From the 23-24 season to the present, the total percentage of points scored by thick eyebrows is 39% at a distance of under 6 feet. The good news is that the opposing team's shooting percentage dropped from 64% to 553%.For example, in the 30-minute and 45-minute game, Nurkic only shot 15 times, only 333% hits.
The downside is that his injuries will be much worse. If Sabonis, Shin Jing, and Chet belong to the flexible three-point line, Jokic and Embiid belong to the kind outside the three-point line.
Take Jokic, for example. At 9:07, Jokic hit only 7 of 10 shots and scored 16 points.
On Jokic's defense, we have to mention Forest. Statistically, Towns and Gobert combined, in 10 minutes and 12 seconds, Jokic took 20 shots, that is, 6 hits Jokic. In other words, if you want to defend against Jokic, you must have a "meat shield" that can withstand it, plus the interference of the defenders.
Previously, we might have laughed at the fact that the Forest traded countless first-round picks from the Jazz for Gobert, but focusing only on Jokic, the Forest was right. It is worth mentioning that under the leadership of "Tang Ge", the Forest team also beat the Nuggets and the Thunder and became the champion of the East.
Coming back to Bushy Eyebrows, his shooting percentage and efficiency are at the highest levels of his career. In addition to that, 95 so far this seasonThe 5% attendance rate was also unprecedented. All the numbers indicate that he has reached the peak of his career. So when neither Wood nor Hayes had much effect, he had to take some of the burden off Bushy Eyebrows.
When the Lakers re-emphasized that they wouldn't be able to replace Reaves easily, their target was Russell. It is undeniable that "Shuila" is indeed flawed, but the annual salary of 18.5 million, as well as the combat ability of 15+5, are still worth considering.
Take, for example, the Bulls without Lonzo Ball. In fact, the Chicago Bulls have only outscored Portland and the Knicks by 24 so far this season3 rebounds. For their part, the Lakers should turn their attention to Vucevic.
Vucevic averaged 17+11,16 per game8 points 105 rebounds, which is also one of them. Second, Vucevic is 208 tall and weighs 117 kilograms, which is a typical three-point line player. In addition, Vucevic is also very capable of defending Jokic.
As for Vucevic, I think we're likely to trade Russell for him.
Reason: Contract. Vucevic's contract is $60 million for three years, and Russell's salary will be wiped out this summer. Given that the Bulls may rebuild their team, it's clear that Russell's ** is more enticing. In addition, the Bulls are also lacking a point guard.
With Vucevic, the Lakers don't have to worry about Jokic. One person defends Jokic and one assists in defense, just like the Forest's twin towers.
