three losses are exactly the same: Most of the time, came from behind, one-sided defeat. Los Angeles, leaving five consecutive road start of this row, the Lakers have been proud to call for a 5-game winning streak to Hui Zhao, and now the result is 2 wins 3 losses. If the timeline is elongated and the March, the Lakers record is nothing but negative --- 6 9 wins last season to lose a single month since most of the month.
first western worries, no hope of catching knight, so the team before the closing force of the playoffs; together with the main center Andrew Bynum injured in the recent downturn in ... ... looking for an excuse for the Lakers is easy, but it can only serve as an excuse . From early March to the most recent three-game losing streak this three defeat, many of the problems the Lakers have their own exposed. If 6 months, or even 6 months ago,vibram 5 fingers, the Lakers fall, these issues will be the anatomy of their body,mac makeup wholesale, are basically the result can be lethal.
Question 1: Pau Gasol's weaknesses
Of course, the Lakers can not ship giant battleship Gasol currently attributed to a big trouble, but he is indeed the most Phil Jackson, the soft underbelly of the most headaches. Match the first three quarters yesterday, the Spanish people, there are only 5 long shot --- but there are 4 errors. To illustrate the lack of confidence in the game Gasol, seats. Then I told him, you do not have to look here, you should know how to motivate yourself.
Question 2: there is no talent of 1-bit
getting older Fisher, Jordan Farmar's defense but still could not get better. Last game, Most scores from the game in the fourth quarter no longer mean very much.
last game against the Hornets, the Lakers three opponents after the field (Paul Thorn ton, Collison) scored 50 points, and yesterday, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby and Crawford also brought together 51 points. Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant alone to support a person has become increasingly difficult after the games, the playoffs so the same case of gold, or the Mavericks point guard position is not known to speed the team, the Lakers do not have to worry perhaps, but if it is in a No. bit with the impact of the team, it could be in big trouble.
Question 3: bench impotence
Wu Ya Xiqi performance this season and last season the difference is the epitome of degradation of the Lakers bench. Yesterday,mac makeup, in addition Farmar, the Lakers also had a total of 6 points off the bench four, losing to Hawks bench full 26 minutes! And two days ago off the bench with the Hornets scoring ratio is even more pathetic than the 42 to 12!
Phil Jackson is also aware of his replacement to be a big problem, so the end of the game with the Hornets the next day, watch carefully to all the bench, but it apparently did not receive immediate results. Jacking starting in Odom, now the Lakers bench, no high scorers,mac brushes, without a stable third pitcher, no decent role players Jordan Farmar occasional --- Emmanuel Brown or impossible go further to help the Lakers in the playoffs.
Question 4: Convergence of arrogance not seen
the Lakers last season has been a marked Shicai pride, the result was almost the rocket reached the bottom of civilians. This arrogance does not see the convergence of the season, such as yesterday after the game, Bryant still think / p>
defensive mentality of undisciplined rambling is a sign of the team yesterday, shooting an eagle audience rate 54.2%, starting in four of five people shot into the top five. Atlanta can do anything the whole game to easy dunk or layup because the bottom line for the Lakers defense completely does not exist, even if that player one on one defender on the ball, Kobe Bryant, nor in dialogue with Joe Johnson, accounted for a no cheap: Kobe Bryant was 12 of 21 28 points 3 rebounds and 4 assists, while Johnson shot 10 of 20 25 points 8 assists and 3 rebounds.
Lakers to adjust this if you can not self-righteous attitude, lower figure, this year's playoffs, and perhaps will not have last year's good luck.
