On May 18, the Lakers officially released a job information about recruiting strength and physical fitness coaches today. Subsequently, the Los Angeles Times Lakers reporter Dan Woike wrote an article reporting on the recent situation of the Lakers. Woike wrote that the Lakers parted ways this week with strength and fitness coach Ed Stret, who joined the Lakers as an assistant fitness coach in 2019 and was promoted in 2021, and he is very popular with the team. The Lakers are allegedly reimagining their physical training program, and they believe that the team needs to reach a "chapter-level physical condition" next season, especially the team's two biggest stars, who must maintain full physical fitness in the playoffs like other team stars.

There is no doubt that the Lakers are for Doncic. The two big-name stars of the Lakers are James and Doncic. However, James is already 40 years old, and you can't expect him to improve his physical fitness. Moreover, James is a well-known self-discipline in the league. No one is worried that he will affect his condition on the court due to physical fitness issues. In contrast to James' self-discipline, Doncic does not pay attention to his body management, and this is a big reason why the Mavericks traded him before.

is not Black Doncic. Judging from his playoff performance, there is a reason for the Mavericks to trade him. Doncic's size and playing style with the big core of the ball, he has enough ability to support the bottom, but the upper limit is not enough. Doncic is the target in the playoffs. In the first round of this year's game against the Timberwolves, Edwards chased Doncic and broke through him like playing house. Doncic could not match his opponent in both his steps and physical fitness.

Defense is not good, and you can play your offensive strengths, but unfortunately Doncic did not perform at the dominant level. Redick bets that James + Doncic + Rivers' three point guards can continuously output, and the series allowed the three players to play almost the whole game. But James is still old, and Rivers is limited by talent, and is inaccurate in the playoffs. Doncic is young and talented, but he fails to save the team. The scene of playing Gobert is not repeated.

The good news is that the Lakers put this matter on the table and dare not say that the devil's training is, at least after changing the physical coach, Doncic will pay attention to it and strengthen training during the offseason. At the same time, this is also the first gift from the Lakers to Doncic to the Lakers. It replaces the meritorious physical coach who won the championship in the rematch park, which shows that the Lakers are determined to build a team around Doncic. Doncic will be the absolute core of the team in the next ten years, not only to improve their physical fitness, but also to adapt to 077, including signing and strengthening.

It is certain that Doncic, who has lost weight, will be better in terms of speed and physical fitness, and can also avoid injuries. Moreover, he has James, a self-discipline master, who will be Doncic's best mentor. He will lead Doncic to grow step by step just like he taught Davis.
