The Lakers 108-106 Jazz received four bad news! Three-point + defense is too poor, Ayton’s injury affects the offense and defense!

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 108-106. Although the Lakers won this game, their performance was not very good and many problems occurred. After the game, the Lakers encountered four bad news.

One is that their three-point shooting rate is really bad. The core players made a total of 4 of 24 three-pointers, and all players made 10 of 38 three-pointers. After such a shooting rate came out, the fans were confused. And only Rui Hachimura can maintain a good three-point shooting percentage in this game. Unfortunately, his defense is not very good. Of course, Vincent scored a three-pointer at the last minute, but he didn't have much possession of the ball. This problem will continue to affect the Lakers' aggressiveness on the offensive end.

Ayton currently has a great impact on the team. He suffered an injury in this game and it is unclear whether he will be absent in the future. Now Ayton is the only player on the team who can dominate the paint, and no other player can accomplish such a task. More importantly, without Ayton, the Lakers' defense will decline sharply. And on the offensive end, he can not only eat the cake, but also create opportunities for the outside. This game can see his influence on offense and defense.

At the same time, the Lakers' defensive risks are also very high. When Ayton is here, he can really improve his defensive aggressiveness. However, the defensive aggressiveness from positions one to four is still too poor. Not only is the speed slow, but the enthusiasm is also low, making it easy for the opponent to break through. If the intensity and enthusiasm of the defense cannot be improved, then the only way to face a strong enemy is through offense.

It is even difficult for Doncic and James to remain compatible. Because the defense of both of them is not very good, especially now that James is getting older, this defensive aggressiveness is even worse. The end result is that they are unable to limit defenders. Especially when Rivers is also there, they can't solve the opponent's breakthrough problem. This dilemma is also a point that the subsequent coaching staff must summarize and reflect on, otherwise they will continue to be targeted by their opponents.
