Average of 16.8 points + limit Jokic s shooting rate by 44%! The Lakers have lost more than one top blue-collar worker, which is a pity

In recent seasons, to be precise, Jokic has been the Lakers' victim after winning the first NBA career championship in 23 years.

In terms of personal data, the Lakers are often 20+10+7 in a quasi-triple double performance. For example, the 24-25 season averaged 24.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Leading the team, swept 4:0 in 23 years and swept 4:1 in 24 years.

The reason why Jokic is the Lakers' victim is more because the latter has no defensive resources. The problem with Thick Eyebrow is that she lacks strength in the lower set, and in addition to the defensive end, she also needs to take into account the offensive end.

In fact, Jokic is basically recognized as the number one player in the NBA today. Most of the games brought by the competition are to be won. It is inevitable that the Timberwolves scored 61 points in a single game against the 24-25 season, and for example, they grabbed 22 rebounds in a single game against the Kings and scored 22 assists in a single game against the Suns.

Of course, there are times when I get a teacher.

—Sabonis, Jr. The match was 26 minutes and 13 seconds, limiting Jokic's 12 of 31 shots and his shooting rate was 38.7%.

—Zubac. With 25 minutes and 20 seconds of matchup, Jokic limited his shooting rate by 15 of 34 shots and his shooting rate was 44.1%.

—Chate. The match was 23 minutes and 58 seconds, limiting Jokic's 12 of 31 shots and his shooting rate was 38.7%.

—Kesler. The match was 22 minutes and 14 seconds, limiting Jokic's 18 of 45 shots and a shooting rate of 40%. According to the data, more than one player made Teacher Yo "defeated". For Zubac, it should be noted that:

24-25 season limit Jokic's shooting rate is 44%, 23-24 season value is 33%, and 22-23 season value is 44%. That is to say, at least in the past three seasons, Zubac has had very good defensive effects when facing Jokic. In the mid-season of the 18-19 season, the Lakers traded Zubac to the Clippers for Muscala and Beasley.

In fact, in the last five games representing the Lakers, Zubac averaged 11.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, showing very good ready-to-play ability. On the other hand, Muscala and Beasley didn't talk about their performance for the first time, but the result was that they left the team as free in the summer of 2019 only half of the season.

After coming to the Clippers, Zubac grew steadily, taking the 24-25 season as an example. The 81st average of 16.8 points in the league and 16th in the same position. With an outstanding performance on the defensive end, he was finally selected as the second team of defensive team of the year with Gobert, Jaren Jackson Jr., Jalen Williams and Kamala.

Top defense + relatively good offensive end, although Zubac does not reach the All-Star level, it can be said to be a top blue-collar worker.

In fact, in my opinion, the Lakers' loss of Zubac is more than just losing a top blue-collar worker.

Season 24-25, when Zubac was on the court, the Clippers had a net loss of 9.4 points in 100 rounds, second only to Leonard's 12.4 points; when they were not on the court, the team lost 3.4 points in 100 rounds. From this we can draw two points:

1. Zubac's Clippers win and lose;

2. Zubac's importance to the team has reached the core level.

We all say that Harden protects the Clippers' lower limit and Leonard protects the team's upper limit, but it is hard to say whether the Clippers can enter the playoffs without Zubac (80 appearances in the 24-25 season).

Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.

It was previously revealed that the Clippers failed because they were unwilling to make Zubac in Durant's trade. From this perspective, Ballmer and Frank really regard Zubac as the core of the team.

Based on this, we can understand that the Lakers have lost more than a top blue-collar worker as: to be precise, it is almost useless to give the Clippers a good combat power.

Let's go back, if there were no such deal, the Clippers would have been basically one of the strong teams in the Western Conference, but the inside line would definitely not be as stable as it is now. In fact, if Zubac, who is only 28 years old this year, does not suffer injuries, at least the Clippers will not worry about the center position in the next five years. To take a step back, even the Clippers can "touch" super giants like Durant.

Finally, Magic Johnson left the Lakers management, otherwise Zubac's loss-making transaction would definitely happen in the future.
