With the Clippers with a full lineup winning streak, will the Lakers No. 1 ranking be in danger?

The 2020 NBA season, the Clippers and Lakers, the Los Angeles derby brothers, are the favorites to win this year's championship, and the Lakers must overcome the Clippers if they want to win the NBA championship。Many fans have also made their own speculations about this year's NBA championship, with the Clippers, Bucks, and Lakers basically ranking in the top three, and their performance on the court also deserves to be on this list, with the Bucks and Lakers ranking first in the regular season in the East and the West, respectively. In terms of the superstars of the three teams, they are all superstars in the league now, the Bucks team has Antetokounmpo and Middleton, the Clippers team has Paul George and Leonard, and the Lakers team has James and Anthony Davis.

In terms of roster strength, the Lakers and Clippers have their own wins and losses. The Lakers' team advantage makes the superstar stronger, James has been in the league for 17 seasons, has a wealth of playoff experience and Finals experience, Leonard, a rising star, although he has also won two NBA championships, but his experience is still lacking compared to James, the Finals competition is not only the strength of the team, but also many other external factors.

The strength of the Clippers is their roster depth, and the Clippers now have the most complete roster in the entire league. Whether it is their first echelon or the second echelon, they are able to combine various formations and adapt to various tactical systems. They are able to tailor their strategy to the Lakers, something that no other team can do, except for Leonard and Paul George, where Harrell and Lowe are the toughest bench warriors of any team.

Personally, of course, I would like to see the Lakers win the championship, and that's the best gift for Kobe. Both teams played each other in the regular season, and neither showed their 100% strength, and we hope to see the full force of James back in the playoffs, and the firepower of James is unstoppable.

Yes, the Clippers are still quite a threat to the Lakers and may beat the Lakers.

No. Although the Clippers have won seven in a row, the Lakers will not lose all the time, so there is no danger in the first place.

The Lakers' No. 1 standings will have an impact. The Clippers, who currently have a full lineup, have won seven consecutive games and have further improved their standings, and according to this trend, the Clippers have a good chance of taking the first place.

The preseason has ended, the Lakers have won all four games, and Leonard George of the Clippers has won both games in the absence of James and thick eyebrows, making a good start to the regular season, but these four wins have also exposed the two existing shortcomings of the Lakers.

The preseason is just a warm-up game for the NBA before the start of the regular season, mainly to let the team's new players adapt to the current team, find their own form, and run in the team's tacit understanding. So this kind of game data is a little untrue.

After comparing last season's data, it is not difficult to see that the Lakers' main flaw is that the Lakers' three-point shooting rate is not stable, and the person with the highest three-point shooting percentage of the Lakers last season turned out to be Long Coach who left the Hawks. There are many Lakers guards in this season, but there are very few people who can really shoot three-pointers, Harrell who was hired heavily has no range at all, Gasol Jr.'s three-point shooting rate is falling little by little, last season in the Raptors only 19% shooting rate, Schroder's three-point shooting in the regular season and the three points in the playoffs are simply like two people, Pope is a nerve knife, and the three-point shooting rate is also unstable and cannot be relied on as a major combat force, so the Lakers' three-point shooting can only rely on James.

In general, even if the Lakers' three-point score is the first in the preseason, they will still suffer in terms of three points against the Clippers at the beginning of the regular season, after all, the Clippers have many shooters. The Lakers and the easy will be suppressed, and James' chance of standing up to turn the tide is too slim, even if he wants to, the head coach will not let him do it, after all, the playoffs have just begun, and once James is injured, the future of the Lakers is in jeopardy!

Another point is the Lakers' defensive problem, especially the defense of the interior and the defense of the wing, Schroder in exchange for the Thunder is mainly offensive-oriented, and is fully capable of serving as another scoring point in addition to James and thick eyebrows, but his defensive level is still very lacking, in order to supplement Green's departure to sign Matthews because of a major injury on his foot, his defensive ability is not the same, Gasol Jr. must be a very good center, but he is 37 years old this year, What else can you expect from him? If the spark is still there, it will definitely be able to share a little pressure, and the excellent offensive ability of thick eyebrows can't always be limited to the number five position! In this way, we can only rely on the young Harrell, once Harrell pulls across, the Lakers' interior line will definitely collapse across the board, and against the Clippers' excellent offensive ability, the Lakers' defeat is naturally a foregone conclusion.

On January 6, the NBA welcomed several key games, and the Lakers narrowly beat the Grizzlies to win four in a row. The Clippers lost to the Spurs in an upset and handed over the top spot. The Nets beat the Jazz to end a two-game losing streak and return to the top eight in the East.

The Lakers faced the Grizzlies in this game, and this was the second consecutive meeting between the two teams. In the last game, the Lakers won by 108-94 by 14 points. But in the second meeting, the Lakers played a relatively close game with their opponents, losing by 5 points in the first quarter, and finally appeared 94-92 and won a wave of 4 consecutive wins.

After winning this victory, the Lakers' record has changed to 6-2, becoming the first in the West.

Another key game in the West is between the Clippers and the Spurs, which is later than the Lakers' game and directly determines the first place in the West. With George resting, the Clippers started the game on the back foot, trailing by nine points at 27-36 in the first quarter. At halftime, it trailed by 19 points, 44-63.

The Clippers finally woke up in the third quarter, winning by 17 points at 39-22 and narrowing the margin to two points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs went on a 12-2 run to pull the score apart again. Although the Clippers struggled to chase down the score and cut the deficit to two points in the final moments, the Spurs withstood the pressure and won 116-113. After the loss, the Clippers had a 5-3 record, giving up the top spot in the West and slipping to third place.

The Nuggets, who went 1-4 in their first five games, finally started beating the Timberwolves 124-109 in their last game. In the rematch against the Timberwolves, the Nuggets defeated their opponents 123-116 and won two in a row, and their record became 3-4 and temporarily ranked 10th in the West.

There is also a key game in the East, the Nets against the Jazz. In the previous five games, the Nets lost a total of four games and suffered two consecutive defeats. The Nets, without Durant, are led by Irving alone.

In this game, Irving scored 29 points on 12-of-19 shooting, leading the Nets to a 130-96 victory over the Jazz, ending a two-game losing streak with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses, temporarily ranking 8th in the East.

I think in this game, the performance of both teams can be said to be very exciting, in this game the pace of both sides is relatively fast, and the Lakers are missing the main member James, but they can still have a very good lineup against the Clippers, although they lost the game in the end, but overall it is still very good.

I think it's a very exciting game because they're all very good basketball players, they show their best in the game, they are very good defensively, and it's a very intense game because the difference between the two teams is not very big, so I think this game is very worthwhile.

The game is very exciting, the difference in the strength of the two teams is not large, the offense between the two sides is very intense, and the team awareness of the two teams is relatively strong.

01, nowLakersThe defense was very bad.

Through this game, I think one of the biggest shortcomings of the Lakers is that the defense is just too bad. Although Vogel is a very good head coach on defense, this season's Lakers team has not found a very suitable defensive system due to frequent personnel changes, which eventually led to the entire team's defense becoming very bad. <>

02. The Lakers' offense suffered a serious setback.

Although James still cut 30+ efficiently, the Lakers' overall offense is indeed very "spicy", especially Wei Shao, who seems to be incompatible with this team, and actually played 12 0 data. Since the overall offense and defense are not too high, it is understandable that the Lakers lost in the end. <>

01, James is still efficient

I have to say that although James is getting older, his scoring efficiency on the court is still very high. From the regular season.

In the first two games, although the team has been losing, but James's personal ability is not in doubt, I personally think that in this season, James should not have much problem averaging 25 points per game, as long as James still maintains this level, it is actually a good thing for the team, because James's ability to support the bottom is still very strong, and James will attract more stars to join the team. <>

02. Thick eyebrows have improved a lot this season

In fact, last season's thick eyebrows made many people feel particularly disappointed, but this season, thick eyebrows.

It is also a special surprise for many people. First of all, in terms of offense, Brother Thick Mei is still playing very well, and he is also very dominant on the inside. Secondly, in terms of defense, Brother Thick Eyebrows' contribution is also very large.

It can be said that if the current team does not have thick eyebrows, then the defense will be at least two notches down.

For example, their speed is relatively fast, but they don't cooperate very well, and sometimes they don't grasp the opportunity and lose the ball.

The game exposed the Lakers' very poor teamwork ability and the scoring effect was not ideal.
