"A league leader about to collapse? "

After the game against Houston on February 25, everyone saw the true strength of the current Lakers, Kobe's true strength.

They're a strong team, but they're far from being a dominant team, at least until O'Neal returns. The team's inside and outside offense is seriously unbalanced, and the inside offense depends entirely on Kobe's breakthrough or breakthrough. There are even undersized bigs like Ben Wallace's who can't even make some shots that Kobe feeds into his mouth.

This is an extremely scary thing. The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. For the three current absolute strong teams like Houston, Bulls, and Jazz, the scoring ratio at the basket is more than half. And what about the Lakers? Only less than one-third, such a disparity in shooting gap means that the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced. Basketball is a scoring game, whoever has the most points wins. A team that relies heavily on space and jump shots like the Lakers will never succeed.

Recent games are proof of this! Even if they beat the New York Knicks led by "Gorilla" Ewing, they relied not on the overall team offense, but on defensive tactics against the Knicks' weak ball handlers.

Facing multiple ball-handlers in Houston, they can no longer rely on defense to win. The Lakers, who have lost their defensive advantage, are just a paper tiger. Their single offensive method and weak penalty zone defense make them go to ruin. It is impossible for a team like this to go far, and O'Neal will return at the end of the season, and his state after his return is also confusing. Perhaps the best choice for such a young team is to accumulate experience.

Harris should let Kobe go. Kobe's unlimited firepower is unreasonable. Kobe should pass the ball more to his teammates, just like he did when he won the triple double. He should understand that the NBA is not his high school league anymore, and one person cannot dominate the game. Even Jordan waited for Pippen and Grant to grow up to defeat the Pistons. What about Kobe?

Kobe needs to be patient to cultivate his Pippen, maybe Eddie Jones is his Pippen. But who is he training? Bowen? Big Ben?

Those two are trash in the draft! Kobe was wasting his time raising them! They may be able to become a good defender, but on the offensive end, such players are not liked by the head coach, and they cannot bring victory! If Kobe doesn't give up on them, they will become a burden to the Lakers!

Losing the draft is losing the draft! No matter how good their defense is, role players who lack independent offensive ability will never really help the team. Look at what helped Jordan win the championship -- super point forward Scottie Pippen, with strong athletic ability, face-frame power forward Cobra Hoss Grant.

The Lakers need to equip Kobe and O'Neal with such players, so that Kobe and O'Neal can concentrate on scoring. This is the correct team building model.

The Lakers, who are now on the wrong path, will eventually usher in destruction. They will lose the league's top spot first, and the difference between the Bulls and the Lakers is only 1. Then they will enter a losing streak, and the West will eventually be dominated by Houston and the Jazz.

"The Promising Lakers and Kobe"

One game made us realize the gap between the young people of the Lakers and the strongest team in the world today. This gap is visible to the naked eye, but it gave me a sigh of relief. I began to realize that the Lakers, a young team that has given people miracles, is really a young team, not an old goblin who has lived for 30 years. They are playing ball.

This is a good thing~You will make mistakes when you are young, and only by making mistakes can you grow. The Lakers team can be said to have the most young people in the league. There are three rookies in the team. The average age of the starters is only 23 years old. It is normal for such a team to lose to Houston, which has the Big 3. But that's the thing. Don't be fooled by Kobe's recent magical performance, he is still just an 18-year-old player, he has unlimited room for growth, Kobe is like this, so is the Lakers.

The defeat will wake up the young Lakers and make them fearful, knowing that the NBA is not a place where the youth storm is enough to run rampant. This effect will be very good. Olajuwon has taught the Lakers inside a good lesson, but how many centers in this era have not been educated by Olajuwon? Even Shaquille O'Neill has a harrowing experience, which will help young people grow.

I believe that twenty years later, when the Lakers' insiders retire, they will be grateful for Olajuwon's teachings to them.

As for Kobe, I think 11 of 27 shots in this game is not an unacceptable thing. The absolute core of the Lakers right now is Kobe, and everyone is locked up. Only when Kobe breaks the situation can the game be reversed. His teammates did not create an excellent offensive space for him, and his opponent was three players with very different styles but strong abilities.

Under such circumstances, not giving up, fighting and chasing is already a victory for young people!

I look forward to the next performance of the Lakers and Kobe!

—Hollywood Daily

The recent newspaper reports on the Lakers are divided into two categories. On the one hand, the media who like black Kobe will say that Kobe should play as before, using organization and driving teammates to win.

On the other hand, the rational media will also analyze the game personally, knowing that Kobe's doing so is helpless.

In such a range of public opinion quarrels, the Lakers came to the capital of the United States, Washington DC.

This is the second and final meeting between the Lakers and the Bullets this season.

What kind of changes will this new coach take office for the Bullets under the possession of Michigan Five Tigers Chris Webber?

They are currently competing for the playoffs, and they urgently need to win, especially the opponent is the Lakers who are short of major generals and have just ushered in a defeat. In the eyes of head coach Bernie Bickerstaff, winning this game is not difficult!

In the Lakers locker room, Bryant called his teammates together.

"I hate losing, and I hate losing in a row! This season, we have never ushered in a losing streak. Not in the past, not now, and never in the future!"

"Maybe some people have been exhausted physically and mentally during the long season, but this is not the reason for our loss."

"This game, I want to win!"

After speaking, Kobe put his hand in the crowd.

"To win!" Big Ben was the first to put his hand up.

"We must win!" Xiaoyu Bowen and other players folded their hands together.

Harris smiled from the sidelines, and the military spirit is available!
