Halfway through the season, the Lakers are still stumbling, and after the Nick King, they have ushered in a long-lost three-game winning streak. Munch, who started the battle, performed amazingly, cutting 24 points, 4 boards and 4 assists to rush to the national hot search, and was also awarded the first class of Zhan Huang with a knife guard.
In this campaign, Munch provided sufficient fire support for the team on the offensive end, contributing 11 points in the fourth quarter to repeatedly hit key goals, although the tactical penalties were all lost, but the flaws were not hidden.
The US media listed 5 games since Munch started, with the lowest shooting rate of 50%, and at least 2 three-point shots per game. Specifically, these include: against the Rockets (50% from 25 points and three-pointers); against the Grizzlies (66.7% from 15 points and 2 three-pointers); against the Blazers (54.5% from 18 points and 2 three-pointers); against the Timberwolves (57.1% from 22 points and four three-pointers); against the Kings (53.3% from 24 points and 6 three-pointers to tie their season highs).
When asked why he was back in form in the second half, Munch said he corrected his playing style, no longer shooting super difficulty, dribbling emergency stops and retreating three-pointers, more choices are to catch the ball and shoot, or dribble a step to shoot. Anthony also praised Munch as a big heart player and the team needed his ability to change the course of the game.
Recalling the beginning and end of joining the Lakers, Munch was grateful, after being abandoned by the Hornets, because the identity of the thorn head was not pursued in the free market, except for the Lakers, no team seriously considered him, which made Munch deeply affected, so he chose to sign with the Lakers with a basic salary to try to prove himself.
I have to say that the Lakers have found diamonds, Munch shines incomparably, he is not in danger, resolute and decisive, and will become James's new knife guard.
