Who can win the "Located City Two Heroes" in a round of series? The Lakers forward line is hard to stop, the Clippers have big variables + many injuries!

In the next ten years, Doncic will be the core of the Lakers' team building. They lost the defensive champion Smith in the offseason and signed three players in a row with their salary space, one former DPOY Smart, one is potential inside Ayton, and one is all-around forward Laravia, forming Reeves + Smart + Doncic + James + Ayton, Vincent, Laravia, Hays, Haymura Haymura, Vanderbilt, etc.

The Clippers also made considerable moves in this offseason, replacing the third scorer Powell with forward champion Corinth, and then obtained the former All-Stars Bill and Paul, forming Bill + Harden + Leonard + Collins + Zubac, Paul, Jones Jr., Batum, Bogdanovic, Lopez, etc.

If the "Two Heroes of Luocheng" have a series, who can win?

First, the match-up prediction of the starting lineup

Lakers - Doncic + Reeves + James + Hachimura + Ayton;

Clippers - Harden + Bill + Leonard + Collins + Zubac;

Doncic and James can average 50 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists per game, Reeves also averaged 20 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, and Hachimura scored 41.3% of three-point shooting percentage, Ayton averaged 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. This is a very terrifying starting five tigers on the offensive end.

Doncic and James' pick-and-roll threat is very great, and Ayton's offensive methods will also greatly restrain the defense line. Hachimura can involve the defense line, ambush outside the three-point line, or wait for an opportunity to hit the penalty area to respond. Reeves can play the role of the third ball holding point, he can play without the ball or hold the ball.

Harden and Bill want to compete with Doncic and James, unless they add Leonard who averages 21.5 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Collins averages 19 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, and Zubac averages 16.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. He scored his best career performance last season.

Collins is a forward player with diverse offensive methods. Although he is not a defensive player, he can help the team in protecting rebounds and receiving offenses, especially reducing the pressure on Zubac. Bill and Paul, one has outstanding scoring talent, and the other has top organizational talent.

It is obvious that the Lakers have the advantage.

Second, prediction of the depth of the rotation lineup

Lakers - Vincent + Smart + Kneckett + Laravia + Vanderbilt + Kleber + Hayes;

Clippers - Paul + Dunn + Bogdanovic + Jones Jr. + Lopez + Batum;

Basketball is a sport of five people, and the depth of the lineup is also the key factor that determines the victory or defeat of the series. Smart and Vincent are the defensive cores in the rotation lineup, Laravia and Kneckett can play the role of "killers", while Vanderbilt and Kleber can improve defense for the lineup.

Perhaps some people may think that the Clippers' rotation lineup is obviously better than the Lakers. It is true that there are many famous players in the Clippers' rotation lineup, but Paul, Batum, and Lopez are all 34+ years old, and their competitive state is questionable; Dunn and Jones Jr.'s performance on the defensive end was obvious to all last season, but the contributions of the two of them on the offensive end were also very difficult. Bogdanovic has a good defense and is also a top scorer. The only thing that is bad is that he did not prove himself in the playoffs.

Judging from the depth of the rotation lineup, the strength of the Lakers and the Clippers is incomparable.

Third, who will win the series?

The Lakers' advantage is the diversity on the front line. Doncic + James + Ayton can pose threats to the Clippers' defense line. It is difficult for the Clippers to shrink their defense line, because both Doncic and James are top-notch tandem super giants. They can find Ayton who eats cakes in the penalty area, or find teammates who ambush outside the three-point line, Reeves and Laravia, who may play the role of "Shock".

The Clippers have many problems in both the starting lineup and the rotation lineup. For example, Leonard and Bill both have serious injury risks. The players in the rotation lineup have very clear advantages and disadvantages. Batum and Lopez of the Big Big have both offense and defense, but they are both difficult for veterans to be present for a long time. Dunn and Jones Jr. have excellent defense and single offensive methods. Paul should be the most trustworthy "leader" in the rotation lineup of the Clippers.

Of course, the advantage of the Clippers is that Coach Lu has a rich coaching experience, while Redick is just a "rookie" coach. More importantly, Coach Lu in the 25-26 season also has a top "assistant coach" around him, Paul.

If the Lakers play a series with the Clippers, I personally think that the Lakers will eliminate the Clippers 4-2. What do you think? Leave a message in the comment section!
