Last season, the Lakers' roster was characterized by a very luxurious core structure, but obvious shortcomings.
The starting lineup, Fisher, was too slow to defend, allowing the Lakers to open the hole-in-the-hole, which he was blown into scum by Lee Forest and Westbrook.
The substitutes Famar, Wharton, and Vujacic were overused, and the main force was seriously overdrawn.
Compared with the luxury interior line, which can help the top 3 offensive rebounds and total rebounds, and contribute 33 points per game, the Lakers' outside shooters only handed over a 34.1% 3-point shooting rate of the bottom 8.
So much so that in the playoffs, the Lakers couldn't respond inside and outside, and they were repeatedly plotted, and finally they were extinguished by the highly targeted Thunder, and Kobe Bryant also tore his Achilles tendon.
This summer's reinforcement of the Lakers is extremely targeted.
Blake's mature and accurate shooting, with a career three-point shooting of 39.3%, is just the most suitable addition to Fisher, and Blake has shown a quick adaptation to the Lakers' system since the start of training camp.
In Bryant's words: Blake is a high-IQ player, and he has no problems.
Of course, Barnes, who has always appeared as a bench bandit, also showed good adaptation in training.
Barnes, who averaged 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last season, will undoubtedly bring the Lakers bench back to life.
Despite all the trouble off the court, he is a reliable role player on the court.
Although Ratliff is 37 years old, his outstanding work ethic, focus on the game, and iron will to fight injuries for many years will greatly help the Lakers.
Two rookies, Ibanks and Caracott, shined in the summer league and have been considered the treasures of the second round.
The two will give the team more options to choose from.
In addition to that, the Lakers extended Brown to a third guard, plus the last insurance on the outside.
Overall, after a few operations this summer, the Lakers' roster construction is more reasonable and balanced, the bench strength has been enhanced, and the weak three-point shooting has been improved to a certain extent.
Of course, the most important thing is that the arrival of Li Forest can help the Lakers tide over the crisis of Kobe's absence.
On the afternoon of the day of the competition.
Li Linlin wore a white shirt of the endorsement brand, jeans on the bottom, and sunglasses into the interview hall.
A few strange teammates wearing Lakers jerseys who passed by greeted Li Linlin.
This is the first time Lee has appeared at the Staples Center arena as a Lakers player.
Several rookie players couldn't figure out what the character of Li Linlin, the boss, was, and slipped away after saying hello.
The Lakers' media interview hall is more than 3 times larger than the Thunder's, and the number of media is even more, I don't know how much.
The number of reporters has been full, but there are still many media outlets excluded, and Li has received many requests for help from Chinese media.
As soon as Li Forest appeared, reporters flocked to him, and almost in an instant, Li Forest was surrounded.
The Lakers' PR manager hurriedly called someone to maintain order.
The noisy situation was brought under control a little.
The reporter asked: "Li, you have taken on so many business activities this summer, can you guarantee your status?" ”
The Los Angeles media is not good at stubble, Li Linlin raised his eyebrows: "My training has never been slack, as for the state, I will see the performance on the field." ”
The reporter asked: "The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room is very tense, Artey has conflicts with Odom, and some players are also dissatisfied with the locker room leader Fisher being traded, and secretly you are not welcome, how will you deal with such a chaotic locker room situation in Kobe's absence?" ”
The questions from the Los Angeles media are getting more and more violent.
Li Linlin frowned, he still didn't know about the situation in the locker room.
Li Linlin glanced at the reporter: "I only care about how to win, 8 consecutive defeats, no contradiction is strange, as long as you win, continuous consecutive wins, the problem will be solved." ”
The reporter continued to ask: "So what are your goals for this season?" ”
Li Forest replied without hesitation: "Take the championship." ”
The reporter said disdainfully: "How do you lead the team to win the championship without a Zen master, without Kobe, without Bynum?" ”
Li Linlin: "Just watch it obediently, now it's the era of small ball, don't you understand the tactics of Miami and the Thunder?" Did the triangle offense and traditional centers help the Lakers win a championship last season? ”
Li Despised these unsightly reporters.
…………
The whole interview was not pleasant.
After the Los Angeles media got through the honeymoon period of the initial trade to come to this FMVP, they started to give Lee Forest trouble.
Li Forest stepped briskly into the locker room.
He felt a different kind of noisy and energetic atmosphere from the noisy and energetic atmosphere of the Thunder locker room.
It's quiet and a little depressing.
Atai and Barnes chatted in the corner, and Odom sat on the other side with Ibanks sorting out their sneakers.
Vujacic and Brown were tidying up their wardrobes, and a few of Lim's unimpressed teammates were chatting.
Seeing Li Forest coming in, these people just raised their heads and nodded to Li Linlin, and said hello.
Altay Odom doesn't have a very good impression of Lee Forest.
Of course, Li Forest didn't care too much about what they thought of him.
Everyone is here to play, and if they can't win, either they will get out, or Li Linlin will get out, it's as simple as that.
"Welcome, Lee."
Gasol saw Li Forest and immediately greeted him.
Li Forest nodded.
"Boss, you're finally back, haha."
Green smiled and ran over to give Li Forest a hug.
Li Forest patted Green on the chest.
Signaling to ask him something, Green responded smartly.
The two of them walked towards the toilet.
Li Linlin talked to Green for a long time, and he got the information he wanted.
Li Forest was worried about Artest's troubles at first, but unexpectedly, according to Green's description, the "beast" has always been very well-behaved, but it was Gasol and Kobe Bryant, who should have been more well-behaved, that sparked.
The undercurrents in the Lakers' locker room have been there for a long time.
It's not Li Linlin's problem.
It wasn't calm here before Kobe Bryant's injury, Gasol complained that Kobe Bryant was too lonely in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant forbeared, Kobe knew that his dream of defending the title needed Gasol, and no one understood this better than him.
And after the Lakers' Western Conference defeat last season, coach Jackson criticized Kobe, Gasol, Odom and other main players by name, believing that they did not contribute to the team in the way they should have.
The American media fanned the flames, believing that one of the important reasons why it was difficult for the Lakers to defend their title last season was that some of the team's players with championship rings showed slackness, and the spearhead was very clear, pointing directly at Lakers stars Kobe, Gasol, and Odom.
................
After Li Forest understood it, he realized that he underestimated the complexity of the Lakers' locker room problem.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
Bryant.
You've thrown me a mess.
You can't do it yourself.
Gasol is not as weak as he seems on the surface, and his smiling face on Li Forest is by no means so simple.
On the contrary, it is meaningful.
...............
Warm-up done!
Before the start of the game.
Bread Brown appeared.
Under his leadership, everyone stood up and applauded to welcome Li Linlin.
As for which people are sincere and which people are coping, Li Forest doesn't care.
Li Forest did not participate in training camp and pre-season, and many new signings were curious about him.
Today, the Lakers opener opponents.
Los Angeles Clippers!
