The injured NBA Lakers have recently swallowed three consecutive defeats, and the performance of Ukrainian center Rann, who replaced Hayes as the starter, can only be described as a "disaster", and even Hall of Fame star "Big Mouth" Miller can't stand it.

Rann

At present, the main players of the Lakers such as "Zhan Huang" James, Hachimura and the main center Hayes are all absent due to injury, and the team's combat strength has also been greatly reduced. Among them, Hayes is the only true center on the team, and in his absence, the Lakers can only be forced to use Rann to guard the restricted area.

However, Rann has performed very badly in the last 2 starts, playing 13 minutes against the Nets in the previous game, only grabbing 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 hot pot and 1 steal; Facing the Bucks on the 14th, Rann played 19 minutes and scored 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, with 3 rebounds and 1 assist, with a plus/minus of -15. Miller, the legendary star who served as a ball commentator, couldn't help but say bluntly in the game: "Rann can't defend, can't attack, and can't grab rebounds, if you're a Laker, just play small ball!" ”

The Lakers tried to trade for Hornets' quality center Williams before the trade deadline, but eventually gave up due to a failed medical and brought in Rann as support. However, since joining the Lakers in February, Rann has averaged only 1 point and 2.3 rebounds per game in 6 games, and now that Hayes has fallen again, the Lakers' penalty gap is even more serious.

The Lakers also have a long-term man with outside ability, Kleber, who is expected to return until the playoffs. The Lakers are currently 40-24 and in third place in the West.
