After James' comeback, the Lakers have a complete lineup and look even more powerful. After all, the fault tolerance rate has further increased. Now the Lakers are strong and strong. They easily defeated the Jazz in the last game. After a few days of rest, the Lakers will adjust their condition and head to Salt Lake City to compete with the Jazz again.

Obviously, the Lakers want to double defeat the young Jazz, which must be the common goal of the entire team. According to relevant ESPN predictions, the Lakers' probability of winning is around 85%, which is simply an overwhelming advantage. It is true that the Lakers are very popular, but the Jazz are very young. Especially when the lineup is not complete, they have begun to gradually cultivate new players and rebuild, and the overall strength is not that strong.

But as the saying goes, there are no underdogs in the NBA. If the Lakers want to win smoothly, a good start will be the key. This depends on two points. On the one hand, the Lakers' starting lineup often seems to be slow to warm up, and after a few days of rest, the players usually rest, which can easily dig a deep hole. Moreover, the Jazz are really capable of fighting at their home court. When they challenged the Lakers' city rivals the Clippers in the opening game, the Jazz gave them a head-on blow. Including some subsequent games, the Jazz also completed upsets. The Lakers need to take a lesson.

And if everything goes well and the Lakers establish an advantage as soon as possible, they can also train more young players. At least head coach Redick really has this idea. He is considering reusing second-round teenager Tierro. In an interview with the media, Redick praised Tierro's outstanding performance in the Development League and believed that he can help the Lakers in terms of attacking the basket, defensive versatility and athletic ability.

In fact, during the draft, the Lakers management was very optimistic about Tierro. This is really not a boast, because in order to get Tierro, the Lakers continuously used operations to improve the second-round picks, and finally selected Tierro. Combined with the consistent level of the Lakers management and too few assets in hand, this was not easy. However, Tierro has been absent due to injury since the beginning of the preseason. He was also unable to play at the beginning of this season and has only just returned. But for a team to develop for a long time, it is definitely unrealistic to rely solely on veterans, including the main players. Young players must grow up as soon as possible, and we also expect the Lakers to fully train him.
