The Lakers changed the starting lineup during a game against the Kings today. Today the Lakers have five players scoring in double figures, and today's performance on both ends of the team is worthy of recognition. In addition to James' excellent performance of personally scoring 31 points today, munch, who started, is also worthy of everyone's praise. Today Munch had 24 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 6-of-11 shooting from outside the three-point line. It can be said that Vogel made Munch in the starting lineup today is a very wise choice.
Munch has played very consistently in recent times, starting with the game he played against the Nets on December 26, and Munch has scored more than 20 points in four games. Today, he's averaging nearly 12 points per game. The other three-point shooting percentage also reached 38.4%. Now Munch is the Lakers' most reliable shooter.
Obviously James is also aware that Munch has been in great form lately, and you will find that the two of them have worked together a lot in the last few games. There are a lot of blocking and dismantling between James and Munch. When James and Munch block and dismantle, Munch will get a very good opportunity to shoot three points in the open position. And his current three-pointer grasp is getting higher and higher, and many of them are direct hits. There was a round today where James directly gave Munch a solid cover, and Munch shot a three-pointer with his open hand, which shows that James is very encouraging munch to shoot a three-pointer.
Now James seems to be cooperating with Munch by name, and Munch has also understood in the last few games, often giving James very exquisite assists. It seems that the two have become a very good forward combination, and now Munch is more and more like JR Smith in the Cavaliers, jr Smith played the role of James with a knife guard, and now Munch plays the same role.
Vogel should continue to stick to his strategy, and Munch should be in the starting lineup because he has the threat of the outside, so he can also help James to open up space. And if Horton Tucker comes to the start, he can't play a role in opening up space. After Horton Tucker came to the second team, he seemed to play more freely and had a very good performance today. Munch is perfectly capable of starting. The Lakers should determine their starting lineup as soon as possible, I don't know what the fans think?
