First of all, the Lakers temporarily lost Schroeder after the return of thick eyebrows. However, during the absence of James and Thick Eyebrows, Schroeder played a very good role. During the period of single-core leadership, Schroeder can get 109.6 points per game, which is better than the season average 107 points and the recent 100.3 points. The shooting percentage in the box has also increased from 50.5% in the season to 56.7% in the last ten games, and the assist rate has increased from 26.5% in the season.
Schroeder, who gradually found the feeling in the single-core mode and led the team's tactical operation, brought great joy to people. This constitutes the first advantage of the Lakers in the playoffs: Schroeder's outbreak gave James more capital to play and catch the ball, allowing Schroeder to control the team's offense. James' 34.6% three-point shooting percentage and 36.5% shooting percentage fully support his health-keeping style.
The Warriors also showed their desire to unite and win, but the gap between them and the Lakers is definitely not 3 points. They still need players who can continue to attack hard. If you play as well as the Lakers in the next game against Grizzlies, you will pass the test. However, in the face of jazz, winning one game is the biggest victory.
This is exactly what I mentioned before: in any case, thick eyebrows should restore the middle distance and give full play to the enthusiasm of the basket, otherwise his strategic value will be greatly reduced. For the sake of continuity, he will not be able to play five games for a long time. He always needs to spend non-critical moments with his center partner to minimize the negative impact. Whether it's with drummond or harel, it's very important to win the ball-free containment after five hours' high position, and provide offensive conditions for the ball-holder and the empty cutter.
