The Lakers finally won a game happily, beating the Blazers 128-109, ranking second in the 8 games this season with a 19-point advantage.
They are in a rising period of recovery recently, and everyone is in good condition, especially James’s stable shooting in the game of defeating the Blazers, scoring 31 points in 6 out of 8 three-point goals, role players and the Replacements showed excellent game status: Reeves took the lead in the battle when the start was not good, winning the season’s new high of 22 points; Substitute center Bryant and Gabriel teamed up with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The basis of all this is Davis’s ability to turn over the river under the basket. Today, he contributed 27+12 again, and there are still three blocked.
You need to feel winning. Having the feeling of winning can help you continue to win. The Lakers went on the road with the feeling of winning, and immediately started six consecutive Eastern Expeditions. I believe this feeling of winning helps them not to be shaved by six games. Even the defending champion like warriors was defeated in 8 games away at first, and the eastern expedition was completely wiped out. The opponents of the Lakers included strong teams such as Bucks, Knights and 76 people, the Raptors have already ushered in the return of siacam, and Harden has to come back. Therefore, it is very dangerous along the way. If you win two games, you will be qualified. If you win three games, you will overcomplete the task.
From beating basketable nets to three wins Spurs, from leading Pacers 17 points to victory Blazers 19 points, the Lakers’ lineup seems to be getting closer and closer to the requirements in their design. Now that sensitive issue is facing the Lakers again, do you want to make a deal?
For the Pacers, there are two very important trading objects-Turner and Hilde. In the eyes of many people, this game has dual significance. First, although the Pacers are in the process of reconstruction, they are still a strong team that wins. After winning the Lakers, they have already won 12 wins and 8 losses, ranking the top four in the east, the second is to inspect the goods and take a closer look at the level of Turner and hildell.
In that game, the Pacers killed the Lakers by nemhard three points, but Turner and Hilde scored 15 points each, and the three-point goal added up to 13 middle and 2.
General manager Pelinka had the opportunity to make a deal with the walkers in the summer, but finally retreated. It was widely reported that he gave up because he was unwilling to send out two first-round signatures. I think this factor is of course very important, but it is based on another judgment: Pelinka does not think Turner and Hilde can help the Lakers in the playoffs because they have not passed the test of the playoffs.
There are two meanings: first, Turner’s playoff experience is relatively thin, while Hilde has never played the playoff at all; Second, Turner’s football style is not strong enough, and Hilde’s defense is relatively general.
If the deal is reached and they did not show their expected role in the playoffs, it would be too bad to send these two first-round signatures.
Turner was the first round of the 11th show in 2015, with a height of 211, classified as an inside center. I once concluded a theory: if a big man can enter the top 10 in the draft, he is very hopeful to play it. If the top 10 is released, he should put a question mark. Turner was the work of “Big Bird” bird in charge of the Pacers in the late stage. From 2003 to 2017, he had been in charge of the company for 14 years.
“Big Bird” plays well, and it is OK to watch people, but there are not many stars selected by him, because Pacers are strong teams in the East for many years, and the draft is not high. However, “Big Bird” picked two extremely powerful stars on the 10th — George, the 10th in the first round of 2010, and Leonard, the 15th in the first round of 2011, until now, Clippers still place their hopes on these two people. It’s not easy to pick people in this section. If you don’t pick them well, you will hit them and make a lot of money. “Big Bird” chose Turner in the 11th place because he appreciated this future center very much.
However, Turner never realized the expectation of “Big Bird” for him. Except for being a blocked shots twice, he averaged 12.7 points in the first seven years of Pacers, 3.9 three-point shots, and a hit rate of 34.9 percent. By the eighth year, a player faced the biggest single contract in his life. Turner was in a hurry, plus little Sabonis had left. He averaged 18 points in 15 games this season, it has increased by more than 5 points than last season and is qualified to compete for the “fastest progress”.
Turner has the ability, but it is far from the ability expected by Big Bird. He played five playoff games, a total of five rounds, that is, he was out in the first round each time. He lost seven times and swept three times, with an average of 11.7 points and 6.8 rebounds. Turner has not been tested in the playoffs. I think this is the biggest worry of the Lakers.
Hilde may be more unfortunate than Turner. He has never played the playoffs in the past six seasons because the king has not entered the playoffs for 16 years.
Hilde used to be quite accurate, but in the past two years, it can be said to be “the first version of curry”. In the first five seasons, the three-point shot percentage exceeded 40%. Last season, the three-point goal started to take the wholesale route, which was large and rough, it has been a little higher at 36%. In the single season ranking of three-point goals in NBA history, the top 10 are curry, 2 are harden, and the other is George, and the 10th is Hilde.
The 2016-level rookie was miserable. The champion Simons lived under great psychological pressure. Bend did not know where he was. Dunn lost his job. Jamal Murray was badly injured. Merck and yabsele played basketball in CBA, the real materials are Ingram, Jay Brown and siacam, which made dezhantai Murray a lot of money Popovich baby. Hilde, as the 6th show, was actually not bad, and got a big contract with a median of 21 million in 4 years.
If we can’t get Curry, it is not bad to get Hilde, which is probably the idea of many general managers. Although Curry, who is 188 tall, is always targeted by tactics, he is actually good at defense. Yesterday, one-on-one anti-Luca at the last moment, let his back shot only hit the basket. Hilde also tried hard to defend, but no one thought he defended well, despite his height of 193.
Although the Lakers have only played 20 games this season, they have experienced great changes in the lineup, the most significant of which is that Wei Shao changed to play a substitute. It is not easy for this future Hall of Fame member who has been an MVP to accept the substitute. It is more difficult for the two winners to accept that the average score is not as good as Lonnie Walker, which is more difficult than climbing the sky.
But Wei Shao accepted it, and since then the Lakers Haiyan Heqing. Let weishao take a substitute, especially after James’s break off, or in the game of a break due to injury, his connection with Davis is pleasing to the eye. Pelinka went to talk with the walkers about the deal in summer. Wei Shao was a worry, but I believe he was a little reluctant now.
If Weidao is used to exchange Turner and Hilde, not to mention those two picks, Turner is also a contract year, but Hilde still has a contract of 19.28 million a year. If you add those two picks-the Lakers’ scores should be very bad at that time, and the first round signing is very valuable-then the Lakers’ stakes are a bit large and the risk coefficient is a bit high.
Pelinka still believes that the Lakers can play the playoffs, but after entering the playoffs, the Lakers cannot be handed over to James and Davis even if the task is completed. If Turner and Hilde were put under the microscope in the playoffs, Pelinka would be the only one suffering from verbal criticism.
This is why it is OK to change Wei Shao, but I don’t want to get two first-round signatures. Now even if I change Wei Shao, I am a little twisted. Pelinka said that the Lakers had to be patient in trading. In fact, they didn’t want to make another mistake because of one mistake.
Transactions are still possible, but they may not necessarily use Wei Shao, or it may be Beverly. For Beverly, we have to wait until after December 15, because he is new. Moreover, there will be more people to choose from at that time. There is no need to change Turner and Hilde according to everyone’s meaning.
