As early as the Lakers' double-core was plagued by injuries and missed the game, people no longer doubted the Lakers' way to defend their title. After all, they believe that Dual Core will come back with blood. However, after Davis' comeback from injury suffered two consecutive defeats, people could not help but doubt the Lakers' way to defend their title, and even thought that the Lakers would play the play-offs. After all, after losing in succession, the team is only 2.5 games away from winning the play-offs. It can be said that the Lakers at this time are full of difficulties, but so are the Lakers at this difficult time.

James has been absent since he sprained his ankle in the high position of his right foot against the Hawks 38+0 on March 26th. Although it was reported as early as April 1 1 that James would return in early May, with the progress of time and the improvement of his injury, James will return early. As early as Davis' comeback, the Lakers' teaching assistant revealed the news. He took photos of James on ins, and the article revealed that James was coming back soon. After that, Brother Qiu checked the report and learned that James will come back as soon as today, that is, against the Kings, which is obviously the biggest good news for the Lakers.

Even if Davis suffered a two-game losing streak after his comeback, it is hard to hide this joy. After all, for the Lakers, James is still very important in the team. He is also the most important player on the team. For example, Jenny, the owner of the Lakers, said that it is because of him that the Lakers can achieve such status and achievements. He is a worthy hero. So does James really have that much influence on the Lakers?

First of all, for this question, we need to know what problems the Lakers have exposed after James' absence. Among them, after James' absence, the Lakers' problems on the defensive end did not expose too many problems. Because vogel has a complete defensive system, the defensive ability of role players has been improved. Without James, their defensive efficiency and performance have not decreased too much, and sometimes their defensive efficiency is even higher than that of dual-core. It can be said that this defensive performance seems to show that James is not helpful to the Lakers' defense.

But in fact, this is not the case. He also has a great influence on the defensive end of the team. There is no denying that James will always have various flaws on the defensive end, but it is important to know that as long as the game comes to a critical moment, his defensive performance is visible to the naked eye, especially his ability to defend and chase defense in singles and his leadership on the defensive end. After all, although the overall defensive performance of the Lakers is excellent now, there is no leader on the defensive end at the critical moment or the last quarter, so that they always collapse at the critical moment and cannot constantly adjust the defensive system.

You know, there were players like Green who could command defensive scheduling on the court last season, but Schroeder and harel introduced this season are not defensive experts, and their defense has been further improved after joining the Lakers. Some people may say that now that Davis is back, he can also adjust and dispatch on the defensive end. There is no denying that he can, but you know, battle-hardened Davis still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the game before he can find his defensive performance. After all, he is neither James nor James. It can be said that on the defensive end, James' influence lies not in the whole game, but in the defensive ability and leadership shown by the team at the critical moment. Of course, it is not only the influence on the defensive end, but also James has a great influence on the offensive end. Seriously, it can be said that his influence on the offensive end of the team is dominant. Why do you say that?

As we all know, after James' absence, the Lakers maintained the defensive efficiency at the forefront of the league. Under normal circumstances, in this case, the team should not lose too many games, after all, it can suppress the opponent's offensive performance, but the result is just the opposite. Of course, many people think that the team can win if it wins, but in the eyes of the ball brother, the Lakers' lineup system should not only play such a performance. Because we all know that Schroeder, Harrell and other players have very distinctive offensive characteristics, especially after the trade deadline, the team also introduced the insider beast drummond, but in this case, the Lakers still lose less and win more, and their offensive performance ranks first in the league. This is a far cry from James' performance when he was present, and James on the offensive end is indispensable. So, why is offensive James indispensable?

The first point is his organizational ability. Because the Lakers couldn't let Rondo go during the offseason, they also chose to introduce Schroeder. However, we all know that Schroeder is a player with distinctive personality. Personal offensive ability is excellent, and singles have the ability to break through the inside. However, in terms of series teams, Schroeder's efficiency is really not high, and there are often pictures of holding the ball without passing it, which often leads to the stagnation of the team's attack. In addition, Schroeder basically has no ability to cooperate with harel and drummond in roll-and-roll, which leads to their poor performance on the offensive end. Harel, in particular, after James' absence, his performance and efficiency on the offensive end greatly decreased. Because harel is a very strong player, especially a center who is not taller than him at the basket, he needs a point that can attract fire, and this point can also seize such a slight open opportunity. James' existence can give him a better chance.

Secondly, the other players in the team are basically disorganized, which also causes the team to be basically in a singles state, relying entirely on personal strength. Therefore, in this case, although James missed the game for nearly a month, the scoring champion in the team is still him, which is precisely because the players are offensive constipation in the team and cannot exert their corresponding strength. It can be said that for the Lakers, they really need James' organizational ability. After all, only he can be excellent.

Then there is the leadership of the offensive end. As we all know, although Schroeder led the team forward after James was absent, it was difficult for him to direct his teammates to play tactics on the court. He couldn't stop the young players in the team, especially Tucker, so that his attack on the court was always very chaotic after handing over the ball, and James was able to survive on the court. He has enough leadership ability to let his teammates move under his command and complete the attack. So, of course, it is not to deny the performance of Lakers players on both ends of the offense and defense, but it is undeniable that James' influence on both ends of the offense and defense is very great. So once James returns, the Lakers can set sail again and continue to hit the championship.

Generally speaking, a player of the Lakers is actually very important. No matter harel, De Schroeder, Lamond and other players, they are all important puzzles for the Lakers to win the championship. However, if they can really play their role, they need a player who is in control. In the Lakers team, James is this player, so as long as James returns, the Lakers' super battleship will surface.
