The Lakers had no center last year and were able to have the top four. Can they be worse with Ayton this year?

Ayton's Lakers' debut score of 1 point, 8 rebounds and 2 hats, with great defense, lost offense, transformation declaration: Focus on defense, leave the offense to Dong Zhan, lost 81-103 in the first game of the preseason, new aidon played 17 minutes and 50 seconds, made 0 of 2 shots and scored only 1 point, but grabbed 8 rebounds and sent 2 blocks, and made 4 mistakes at the same time.

Aiton's performance on the defensive end is indeed remarkable. The right nail-board hat in the first quarter showed his ability to protect the frame, and the data of two blocks and one steal in the whole game also confirmed his investment in the defensive end. This is consistent with his statement on Media Day: "I want to show the team my attitude.

To some extent, I focus more on the defensive end, not on the offensive end. I came here just to do whatever you want me to do. " But the two attacks on the offensive end all came from inside strong attacks, one was interrupted and one was double-teamed. Three of the four turnovers occurred at the bottom when he was in a position, which shows that his independent offensive ability is still limited when he is not led by a high-quality point guard.

Last season, he averaged 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.6%, which is already a career low. Ayton's explanation for this is: "With them and the organizers here, it may be difficult for me to not touch the ball." Last season, Doncic averaged 7.7 assists per game and James averaged 8.2 assists per game, which can create a lot of opportunities for the inside. The Lakers signed him with 16.6 million in two years. Obviously, they did not expect him to become the main attack point, but hoped that he would do a good job in defense and end.

Judging from the preseason game, the defensive end is still relatively qualified, with certain positions and judgments, rebound protection and rim protection, and the inside defense can indeed help. Regarding the offense, some people may criticize it. Let me talk about the impression that Ayton did not feel comfortable in receiving the ball?

Some people will definitely say that Ayton Soft is not actively fighting against Soft. You can't say that there is nothing, but it is not the most important thing, because Ayton's regular lineup will not be too large or even very small in regular time. Activating Ayton's offense mainly depends on your ability of the outside ball holder. Rivers has repeatedly asked Ayton to play pick-and-roll on the court. Logically speaking, Ayton should have many opportunities to eat cakes. In fact, is there a pure cake today?

The problem is that Rivers' pick-and-roll threat is not enough to make the opponent's defense delay and a large number of pinchs on him, which leads to Ayton not having a good angle of eating cakes. There will be someone on the opposite side interfering with Ayton's catch. What if Dongzi and Ayton play pick-and-roll, Dongzi faces early pinchs and strong delays in the Lakers' pick-and-roll last season. Then, can Dongzi's ability to use the ball and threat of the ball, and can Ayton not have a good chance of eating cakes?

In short, Ayton's defense is at least qualified or above. The offense still depends on the degree of cooperation with the complete lineup. I really can't see anything in this offense today, so I'd better not be impatient. Reasonable discussion is welcome, there is no need to argue hard.

How many years have you played in the regular season lineup? Is it necessary to have a game? How many years have these people watched the preseason, and can they tell that they have entered the top four in the regular season? Last year, the lineup was without a center and the top four. Can it be worse with Ayton this year?

How strong can a dual-core giant and Lakers character player be? Zhan Dong can work together to score 50 points, perform various assists, and kill all sides. What are these role players and newcomers doing now? The Lakers and Hachimura Shizuki, who have no core, don’t know how to play, let alone Ayton’s passer is also in a daze.
