Can the Lakers be more powerful when they get Smart?

For Smart, the real advantage of making him stand in the NBA is to defend well, and the best defensive player is not just a false reputation.

This tough guy who started with defense was elected as the best defensive player of the year in the 22 seasons, which shows that his defensive skills are excellent.

A DPOY trophy is undoubtedly a great honor, but it does not mean that it can be worthy of any trust!

After all, no one can surpass the hero in the late twilight.

Regarding Smart, perhaps in addition to remembering that his defense is commendable, those fake falls that can fall anytime and anywhere can also be regarded as his signature skills!

As a matter of fact, fake falls can easily win some ball rights conversions for the team in certain rounds, taking some meager advantage, but in the critical offensive and defensive moments in the playoffs, perhaps these fake falls will be fatal!

Perhaps, Celtics fans empathize with this and have a deep understanding of it!

22 Finals stage, the Celtics stood on the highest stage to compete with the Warriors. After the two teams fought for three battles, the Celtics led the Warriors 2-1 with a big score...

But the Warriors were able to finally complete the turnaround. In addition to the three-pointer of the Splash Brothers, the Celtics tried to take advantage of their cleverness -

One round was particularly impressive. Smart had physical contact with Clay, and then seamlessly connected and fell to the ground in pain...

The referee arrived as scheduled without a whistle, and Clay easily accepted three-pointers in the face of the large open space!

The difference in the two teams was not big at that time, but Clay's three-pointer expanded the Warriors' lead and even changed the situation.

Smart finally paid a huge price for his cleverness...

Previously, Smart and the Wizards reached a buyout and will officially sign with the Lakers after the clarification period.

The Lakers offered a two-year, $11 million contract for the former best defensive player. Based on the two-year special case, the team provided Smart with a contract that was far higher than the veteran's basic salary.

The Lakers' move undoubtedly gave the latter the greatest respect.

After all, the Lakers have previously split the full middle-class exception to center Ayton and forward Laravia.

Even though Smart's defensive skills remain at the peak, can his arrival really change the Lakers' weak defense?

When Lakers coach Redick lined up a set of starters led by Doncic, James, Reeves, Hachimura and Ayton, he felt like a set of death and five missed the starter!

I don't know how Smart will make achievements in such a defensive environment when he examines this deadly five-loss lineup?

Cic defensive efficiency 110.5 104th in the league;

James defensive efficiency 114th in the league;

Reeves defensive efficiency 113.3 161st in the league;

Hachimura defensive efficiency 110.9 113th in the league;

Ayton defensive efficiency 116.8 259th in the league.

Obviously, the Lakers' weak defense cannot be changed by Smart alone!

With Smart's arrival, the Lakers' strength has improved, but not much.
