40+15+3+0 turnovers! Seeing Wen Ban beat his thick eyebrows into toys, the Lakers need to solve 1 problem if they want to compete for the championship.

Perhaps many people thought that Bunyama would be very strong in the new season, but perhaps no one thought that he would evolve to such an extent. When he met the Mavericks, who were led by thick eyebrows and claimed to have the most luxurious inside line in the West, Bunyama shocked the world with a god-level performance. Throughout the game, Bunyama Ma played 29 minutes and made 15 of 21 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 9 of 11 free throws. He scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks without making a single mistake. He blasted the Mavericks inside and helped the team beat their opponents 125-92, making a good start to the season.

Although Nongmei scored 22 points and 13 rebounds in the game, from the scene, he was undoubtedly completely suppressed by Wenbanyama. To put it harshly, Wenbanyama beat Nongmei into a His toy, after the game, all major NBA media published articles praising Bunyama's performance. The Mavericks reporters were impressed, saying that if the Mavericks' insiders can't meet Bunyama, then other teams will be in big trouble.

NBA reporter Jared Weiss even wrote: "In the years that I have been in the NBA, I have witnessed many of the greatest players in history up close. But I have rarely seen players like Bunyama. In fact, he has only played 118 games in his career, and it is incredible that he can perform like this. He even makes Davis look like a G League player on the court."

Among them, Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin's comments need to be noted. He wrote: "I'm not kidding - one of the reasons why I hope the Lakers are desperate this season is that we may be entering the Wenban Yama era." According to previous news, the Lakers will target 2027. They hope to introduce another superstar to partner with Doncic at that time to compete for the championship, but now it seems that even if the Lakers People are willing to wait until 2027, but Doncic cannot afford to wait, nor can other league supernovas. Although it is an exaggeration to say that the league is about to enter the Bunyama era, it must be admitted that young stars such as Edwards and Bunyama have begun to control the league. If the Lakers do not win the championship before they fully grow up, it will be more difficult to compete with the teams where these stars belong.

To put it bluntly, there are too many uncertainties in the Lakers' 2027 plan. Doncic is no longer a star of the younger generation at that time. It is expected to bet on the unknown 2027, otherwise it will compete for the championship in these two seasons. Therefore, the Lakers must not have a bad mentality this season. They will strengthen when they need to strengthen and trade when they need to trade. 2027 is too far away, and competition now is the best choice. But judging from the first game of the season, if the Lakers want to compete for the championship this season, they need to make more reinforcements. Especially when seeing the strong performance of Wenban Yama and the internal arms race of various teams in the offseason, the Lakers should realize that if they want to compete for the championship this season, they must make their internal strength stronger. Without high-quality reinforcements for the time being, the Lakers need to find ways to activate Ayton as soon as possible.

In the loss to the Warriors, Ayton played 34 minutes, made 5 of 7 shots, scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, and made 4 turnovers. Overall, the performance was weak. After the game, he was criticized by two famous players, O'Neal and Barkley. Barkley said: "LeBron is just older and Doncic is in better shape, but if Ayton cannot perform at a high level, the Lakers will not be able to become the top team in the Western Conference!"

O'Neal even directly criticized Ayton shouted: "Listen, Ayton, go dominate the game. What did you do yesterday? I need you to step up, my brother. You just have to do three things: rebound, block shots, and dominate the paint. The pressure is not on you, you are playing with two great players who are often double-teamed. When they throw those short short passes to the ground, catch them The ball then hit the basket hard. You weren't double-teamed. Facing a small player guarding you in the low post, you turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper? This is not okay. We need you, brother! Your performance yesterday was terrible. "

In the post-game interview, Doncic said that he did not pass enough passes to Ayton. Redick said that without James, it is difficult for the team to pass the ball to the high post. To put it bluntly, without James at this stage, it is difficult for the Lakers to truly activate Ayton, and Ayton himself is not aggressive enough. With the inside strength of teams across the league getting stronger and stronger, the Lakers may really only find ways to activate Ayton to be qualified to compete for the championship.
