Lakers news: James misses the top five in the West, Doncic will show his debut, Xiaoli s new contract is revealed

老詹无缘西部前五

今日，NBA官方组织专家团队对西部球星进行了实力排名，列出了Top 10榜单，结果显示掘金中锋约基奇力压上赛季MVP+fmvp双料得主亚历山大居首，湖人球星詹姆斯仅排第九，这也是他自新秀赛季以后首次掉出分区前五行列。 The specific rankings are: 1. Nikola Jokic (Nuggets), 2. Sheajjeljes Alexander (Thunder), 3. Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves), 4. Luca Doncic (Lakes), 5. Stephen Curry (Warriors), 6. Anthony Davis (Mavericks), 7. Kevin Durant (Rockets), 8. Kawhi Leonard (Clippers), 9. LeBron James (Lakes), 10. Wenban Yama (Spurs).

Fans are talking about James' rankings. Some people said, "It's an insult. James's current strength is not as good as Jokic, Alexander, Doncic and other super giants. How could it be worse than Adu, Huazi, Davis, Curry, etc.? They are really bullied by dogs." Some people said, "James is fine. Now they are a typical big shot. The data seems to be gorgeous, but in fact they are side effects for the team. The total positive and negative values of last season are negative enough to show the problem. It can be said that putting James in the top ten is considered a favorable one. "So what do you think about this?

东契奇将迎首秀

今日，斯洛文尼亚男篮进行了欧锦赛热身赛的踩场训练，斯洛文尼亚当家球星、湖人球员卢卡东契奇参加了完整的训练。 According to the on-site reporter, Doncic showed a very good competitive level and mental state. He will participate in the warm-up match between the Slovenian men's basketball team and the German men's basketball team at 2:15 am on August 9. In this year's European Championship, the Slovenian men's basketball team was assigned to Group D, with opponents in the same group including Israel, Iceland, Belgium, Poland and France. Except for France, other teams are significantly inferior to Slovenia, and the latter has a high probability of advancing.

今年休赛期，东契奇自进入NBA以来首次放弃欧洲暑假生活，在训练营开始前便返回了美国进行艰苦的训练和饮食控制计划，甚至在外出参加活动时都不忘腾出时间来训练。经过一段时间的付出，东契奇的努力没有白费，他整个人瘦了一圈，大肚子和双下巴消失、肌肉线条变得清晰，依稀给人一种新秀东契奇返场的感觉。 Let us also look forward to what amazing performance Doncic will give in the warm-up match after a few months. Let's wait and see.

小里新合同曝光

今日，据美媒《NBA Central》报道，联盟一位匿名高管透露，联盟多位内部人士均认为里夫斯会留在洛杉矶并和东契奇长期搭档，预计他将拿到一份平均年薪不低于3000w美元的续约合同。上赛季常规赛，里夫斯出战73场，场均上场34.9分钟得到20.2分4.5篮板5.8助攻1.1抢断，三项命中率为46%、37.7%和87.7%，多项数据创下生涯新高；但是到了季后赛，小里的发挥有些不尽如人意，出战5场，场均拿到16.2分5.4篮板3.6助攻，命中率跌到41.1%、31.9%和85.7%。

The author believes that the Lakers' approach poses high risks.一方面，小里是个优缺点明显的球员，优点是得分技术全面，还有一定的组织串联本领；缺点是身体素质平庸且防守端容易被人针对，他和东契奇的后场将让湖人的防守容错率大大降低，必须要有其他球员来补防帮忙。 On the other hand, if Xiaoli is given a big contract, it will be difficult for the Lakers to free up enough salary space in 27 years to introduce another superstar. However, overall, Xiaoli was trained by the Lakers after all. He is very popular locally. In addition, he is now considered a quasi-All-star level and deserves an annual salary of $3,000.
