On March 6, Beijing time, the Lakers have played a very good performance recently, they have won 10 of the past 13 games, although they are still ranked ninth in the West, but now the team is only 1 win away from the eighth Mavericks, they previously faced the top eight in the division with a huge gap, but the team has narrowed this gap through hard work, and the team is now only 3 wins behind the fifth Pelicans.
In the regular season or about 20 games, the Lakers have every chance to reach the top six in the division to avoid the play-off competition, and the reason why the Lakers have been able to play such a good performance recently is also related to many aspects, first of all, James opened the full Zhan mode, I didn't expect the 39-year-old Lao Zhan to be able to open such a mode, and relying on his excellent performance, he also won the best of the week, and after the All-Star Lao Zhan can average 28 points per game 65 rebounds 92 assists 13 steal data.
James proved that he still has a very good level, before the All-Star James has been recuperating, after all, he is 39 years old, he can't maintain a good level for a season, physical fitness is a hidden danger, and in the closing stage of the regular season, James showed his dominance, and look at the recent Curry, the reason for his unstable performance is mainly because he has too much power in the early part of the regular season, he is 36 years old, and he is no longer at his peak, and he must use his body reasonably.
In addition to James, Hamm's adjustment of the lineup is the key, although at the beginning of the season because of injuries and unsatisfactory results, he had let Russell, Reaves and others play on the bench, but the playoffs are coming, he also came up with his strongest lineup, and the team took out the main core lineup that reached the Western Conference finals last season to play the starter: James + thick eyebrows + Reeves + Hachimura + Russell's combination.
This lineup has strong finishing ability in all five positions, and three players have good organizational skills, and the spatial ability is also extremely reliable, a bit like the current Celtics lineup, very spacious, and the killing ability of each position is great, that is, the three points of thick eyebrows are not accurate enough, otherwise their offense will be more terrifying, and at the same time, Hachimura entered the starting lineup to reduce the defensive pressure on James, Russell and Reaves worked hard enough on the defensive end, which also improved the Lakers' defense.
The team's best attacking five-man group is in the starting line-up, will this affect the play of the substitutes? It is true that the competitiveness of the Lakers' bench is obviously not as good as before, but Ham reasonably allocates the playing time of the starters and allows them to take turns to take the bench, so the bench can still give the team a lot of help, and the team took Dinwiddie by signing after the trade deadline, and they only spent 1.5 million to get Dinwiddie.
You must know that Dinwiddie in his peak period is an average of 20+ per game, although Dinwiddie is no longer at his peak, but he can still give the team a lot of help, and he can average 12 per game this season during the Nets period6 points 33 rebounds and 6 assists, but after joining the Lakers, he only averaged 51 point 09 rebounds and 3With 6 assists and a three-point shooting rate of just 27 percent, his stats have dropped significantly.
Many fans questioned that the Lakers had lost by signing him because of Dinwiddie's poor data, but in fact, no matter how bad it was, it was not a loss, after all, it was only 1.5 million, and it was reasonable for people to make so much effort. But one thing to say, Dinwiddie is often a player whose stats don't show the effect, and his presence has allowed Hamm's system to be better used, and Dinwiddie's stats are not good because he sacrificed the ball.
In the past, Dinwiddie was a big core player with the ball, and he needed to have the ball in his hand to be able to play, but because Russell, Reaves or James often played with him, Dinwiddie had no ball at all, and he was at most the second player on the court, even if he had very little ball, he could still send an average of 3 per gameSix assists is impressive, and his spatial ability has given other players more opportunities to hit the interior.
After Dinwiddie joined the Lakers, his biggest help to the team was not offense, but defense, Dinwiddie didn't even bother to contribute on the defensive end in the past, but now it's different, he knows what the Lakers need, and he also wants to play in a big ball market like the Lakers to get more **, so Dinwiddie played the role of a big gate in the Lakers, 1With a height of 96 meters and a strong body, he has a good advantage in the backfield defense.
Before the Thunder, he had a big hat Alexander, this game Alexander only scored 20 points, this game Dinwiddie only scored 2 points, but the plus/minus is as high as +35, he won 35 points on the team, the highest on the team, and against the Spurs he scored 0 points in the game, but the plus/minus +21, the second highest on the team! Considering his role to the team, this signing is definitely earned, and with that said, what do you have to say about the Lakers and Dinwiddie? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
