3 major defensive loopholes! The Lakers are not enough to sign big centers, Doncic and Rivers can only keep one

The series between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is over, so what should the Lakers do this summer? Pelinka said that the goal is the big center and the front line. He is right, but it is far from enough! The problem is that the Lakers have three major defensive loopholes. It is useless to only strengthen a certain position. To be precise, it is not enough! I originally thought that as long as the Lakers sign a big center, everything would be OK, but after revisiting the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, I found that this idea was too simple!

Now, when a team owns James and Doncic, such two super giants, they were eliminated in the first round, this problem is very serious, which makes the superstar lose the price. Yes, you know, you have James and Doncic. How luxurious it is, but you lose to the Timberwolves, and it is 4:1, and you almost got shaved.

Then after watching the game video, I found a problem. The Lakers had three major defensive loopholes on the court. The biggest defensive loophole was Redick, followed by Rivers, and finally Doncic. Let’s see how the Lakers were ravaged by the forest during the game.

1. Randall played Doncic. Look at the ball below. Edward was holding the ball, but James was defending him in front of him. He gave up decisively and gave it to Randall. The reason was very simple. It was because Doncic, who defended Randall. Randall's movements after receiving the ball were too simple. As soon as he got the ball, he immediately turned around and passed Doncic in one step, and made a layup with a very arrogant look!

2. Randall hit Rivers and looked at the ball below. Originally Hachimura Hira was defending Randall, then he immediately switched to Rivers. After getting the ball, he gently hit Rivers with his shoulders, and then crushed them directly, without discussing with you at all. Seeing that James had just made a backup move, Randall immediately stopped breaking through and made a big drop. This is the gap. James did not really go up to defend him. He was already scared and threw from a distance. Look at Defos, he didn't take you seriously at all!

3. McDaniels played Doncic, look at the ball below. For this ball, McDaniels passed two people, Rivers and Doncic. He first passed Rivers in one step, and then directly hit Doncic and easily scored at the basket. You should know that McDaniels is a bamboo pole-shaped figure, and Doncic was overturned by the opponent in a flash.

4. Randall played Rivers and looked at the ball. Randall saw that Rivers was in front of him, so he re-used the same trick and directly attacked the basket. Although the ball did not score, Randall successfully attracted Hachimura. As a result, Gobert was empty and easily completed a make-up dunk under the basket.

5. Gobert played Redick. The problem with this ball was definitely Redick. Edwards continued to attack and Finney Smith defended in front. As a result, Rivers went to double-team Edwards. There was no need for Rivers to double-team Edwards. If you don’t trust Finney Smith, there is no need for another shot. As a result, Divinchenzo was out of the way. After seeing this, James immediately ran from the basket to outside the three-point line to assist in the defense, so there was no one in Gobert at the basket, and Gobert completed the dunk.

6. Gobert hit Redick, look at this ball, and there was unlimited defense. Hachimura and Vincent switched defense. As a result, one switched defense and made himself confused. Gobert was directly unguarded and easily completed the dunk. In fact, in the last game, Gobert scored 20+20 data, 80% of them were used to replace the Lakers. After forming a misaligned advantage at the basket, he easily scored. His this is not called unlimited defense replacement, but a gift!

7. Gobert hit Redick, look at this ball, forget it if you switch defenses unlimitedly, but it was not as big as the big guy. Look at Vincent defending Gobert at the basket, and the opponent pushed it away with one move, and then easily dunked it. It was really hard to describe.

From the above shot, I found some rules that are problems that the Lakers cannot solve⬇️

➡️First, Redick's infinite defense swap is completely prepared for the Timberwolves. To be more precise, it is for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves don't even need to find misalignment. The Lakers automatically send misalignment to the mouth of the forest. Gobert's ability to cut 20+20 is the best proof! Secondly, Redick used five small players in the whole game, and he gave the Timberwolves a big gift. His purpose was to attack, but for the Timberwolves' attack or for the Lakers' attack, I wonder if he had figured it out!

➡️Second, in addition to Redick's defensive loophole, there are also Doncic and Rivers. The problem now is that there are two such players on the court. Even if the Lakers can find a good big center to guard the inside, the problem is that the fundamental problem of the Lakers has not been solved. With the big center, there are still two defensive loopholes in Doncic and Rivers on the court. To put it bluntly, this is just a change of soup and no medicine!

With two of them, the other three Lakers players kept asking for helping them make up for them, and they were all messed up again, and they were exactly the same as before. This is why Redick was unwilling to use Hayes because there was a big center, which didn't work. So, there was a guess, that is, Redick, who knew that he couldn't defend early. Since he couldn't defend, he might as well stop defending and attack..

So, the fundamental problem of the Lakers is that there are Doncic and Rivers on the court, and there are two defensive loopholes. The key problem is that you must use two of them in the decisive lineup, which is the most unsolvable one. Therefore, the top priority is that Doncic and Rivers can only retain one. Of course, Doncic cannot move. Only trade Rivers. If there is only one defensive loophole on the court, it can be completely filled. Therefore, the Lakers' best choice is to trade Rivers, and use Rivers to get a good center and forward line.

3 major defensive loopholes! The Lakers are not enough to sign big centers, Doncic and Rivers can only leave one
