Green said: "The Donghuang combination" is difficult to win the championship! 41-year-old James can t help the Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers made a big league-sensational deal, bringing superstar Luca Doncic to Los Angeles. The "East Emperor Group" formed by him and LeBron James was favored by many people at that time to lead the Lakers back to the peak.

In the regular season, the Lakers did play well and won the third place in the West. Everyone is looking forward to their big show in the playoffs. But unexpectedly, in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers fell a big hit, and only won one game and were eliminated with a total score of 1-4, ending their season journey early.

This result made many people start to re-examine this luxurious army. Recently, defender Danny Green, who played for the Lakers and won the championship, talked about his views on the Lakers. Green's evaluation was quite straightforward, and he poured cold water on fans who were looking forward to winning the "Donghuang Combination".

Green pointed out without hesitation that he believes that the combination of Doncic and James will be difficult to help the Lakers win the championship.

"Their offensive firepower is indeed very strong and explosive," Green first affirmed the power of Doncic and James on the offensive end, "but the problem lies in defense. They (defense) have too many loopholes." Green believes that the huge shortcomings on the defensive end are the key factors that hinder their reaching the top.

What worries Green even more is James' age. "I don't know how many years LeBron can play at such a high level," Green said. "When the best player in your team is already 40 years old, it's really very, very difficult to win the championship."

Green further emphasized: "LeBron will be 41 next year. Although he can still score 25 or 30 points per game (the original text is 2 or 30 points per game), this is amazing. But with the current team's lineup configuration and style of play, I think it's really too difficult for them to win the championship."

Green's words point out the two core challenges the Lakers are currently facing: the defensive flaws and the inevitable age problems of core superstars. In the new season, can the "Donghuang Group" break the doubts with practical actions and lead the Lakers further? This will be the most concerned issue for all Lakers fans.
