Alex Len’s Inability To Play Defense Has Lakers Fan’s HEATED…

Alex Len’s performance during the recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks has sparked significant frustration among Los Angeles Lakers fans. Observers noted a glaring lack of defensive effort from Len, particularly during crucial moments that contributed to the team’s struggles on the court.

One of the most talked-about plays involved a pick-and-roll between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, where Len failed to rotate effectively, allowing Brook Lopez an open three-pointer that he converted with ease. This incident was just one example of a night characterized by missed assignments and lackluster hustle from the center. Fans and analysts criticized Len for his flat-footedness and failure to contest shots, which seemed indicative of a broader defensive malaise.

On multiple occasions, Len found himself overcommitting on defense, leaving gaps that opponents exploited. For instance, after a poor double-team attempt on Lillard, Len inadvertently opened a lob option for his teammates, leading to an easy dunk for the Bucks. The momentum shifted dramatically following these defensive lapses, highlighting the critical need for better communication and effort on the court.

Even when faced with formidable matchups, such as guarding Giannis, Len appeared hesitant and retreated instead of contesting shots aggressively. His lack of urgency, especially evident during transition plays, raised questions about his commitment to defensive responsibilities. Fans expressed nostalgia for Jackson Hayes, known for his relentless effort, as they contrasted his style with Len’s performance.

Len’s struggles culminated in a reduced role, as he played only 19 minutes in the game, reflecting the coaching staff’s response to his underwhelming defense. While one poor outing doesn’t define a player’s career, it has certainly raised concerns about Len’s fit and effectiveness within the Lakers’ defensive schemes. As the team looks to improve, fans hope for a renewed commitment to defensive intensity in future games.

大谷翔平、今永昇太&鈴木誠也との日本人対決「すごく楽しみ」 18日の日本開幕戦へ高揚感

ドジャース・大谷翔平投手(30)が14日、山本由伸投手(26)、佐々木朗希投手(23)とともに、東京Dで行われる全体練習前に会見を行った。 大谷はカブス・今永昇太投手(31)、鈴木誠也外野手(30)との日本人対決に向け「僕自身も久々に日本で、帰ってくるのも久々ですし、プレーするのも久々ではあるので。そこで日本人の対決をすごく楽しみにしていますし、もちろん他の素晴らしい投手たちとまた対戦できるのを楽しみにしています」とほほ笑んだ。 23年9月の右肘手術、昨年11月の左肩手術から投手としても復帰予定の今季だが、開幕は打者として迎え「1番・DH」で先発出場する見込み。オープン戦は打者で7試合に出場し、18打数6安打の打率3割3分3厘、1本塁打、2打点。チーム方針によって投手調整はペースダウンを余儀なくされたが、その一方で左肩脱臼の再発防止のため、スライディングや帰塁の方法を試行錯誤してきた。 18、19日に同球場で行われるカブスとの開幕シリーズのため、13日に来日したドジャースは15日に巨人、16日には阪神とプレシーズンマッチを戦い、18日の開幕戦では山本が先発。カブス・今永と史上初の日本人開幕投手対決に臨む。大谷は昨季5打数無安打に封じられた“今永撃ち”を狙う。
