In today's NBA regular season game, the Lakers beat the Hawks 134-118 with relative ease. In the case of crazy iron in the second half, the game gradually found a feel in the second half, and he scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Westbrook didn't shoot high today and only scored 9 points, but he took 11 rebounds and gave up 13 assists.
The most noteworthy player in this game is Munch, in the seven games since his return on December 26, he has scored 15+ points in each game, scoring 20, 25, 15, 18, 22, 24 and 29 points, and he has proved himself to be the biggest gain of the Lakers last offseason with a stable performance.
Munch scored 29 points in the game, including 14 points in the second quarter on 4-of-5 three-point range. The fiery outside feel has given the Lakers a huge surprise, in addition to his improvement in the outside defense and assists has impressed fans. In this game, he did a good job of restricting Trae Young, and the close-fitting defense seemed to learn a lot from Bradley. Considering his very small percentage of the ball, the total of seven assists in the last two games can also show the degree of tacit understanding between him and his teammates.
In the final stage of this game, Munch's earth-shattering deductions once again deepened the impression of his excellent athleticism, and also reminded people of the powerful deductions that Wei Shao played when he was young. In fact, Munch's idol of that year was also Wei Shao.
After joining the Lakers last summer, Munch said in an interview that his home is not far from Oklahoma, he had specially watched several Thunder games in high school, and Wei Shao had appeared, and he often imitated Wei Shao to play at that time, and Wei Shao naturally became one of Munch's idols.
After Wei Shao joined the Lakers at the end of July last year, followed by Munch also joined the Lakers in early August, is there any wei Shao factor for Munch to join the Lakers? Definitely there is. Because Munch said after joining the Lakers that he received calls from James and Westbrook before joining the team, they both wanted to join themselves.
As the season progressed, Munch also established a deeper game connection with Wei Shao, the two played side by side, and became more and more integrated into the Lakers, and Wei Shao also gave Munch the nickname of "microwave oven".
Since James played center, the Lakers' ability to move, athleticism and three-point projection ability has been completely released, although the recent opponent does not have a top team, but the record has become more and more stable, it can be said that Vogel's clever hand change also made their own class crisis disappear, and then the Lakers will have to wait for the return of thick eyebrows to see if the chemistry at that time is so good now.
