On February 6, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Knicks 122-115 at home to win this game. In this game, James and Davis worked at the same time, and when Westbrook performed poorly, they took over the team's attack. Among them, James got a triple-double of 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, while Davis contributed 28 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks, both players got very luxurious data in this campaign, and in the case of the team trailing by 21 points at most, they successfully helped the team win this game, and these two players are the key to the Lakers' victory.
In addition to James and Davis, the performance of role player Munch is also crucial, in this game, Munch started 39 minutes and 23 seconds, 11 of 20 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers to get 29 points. In the third quarter of the game, when the Lakers fell behind by a large score, Munch ushered in a big explosion, he shot 6 of 9 in a single quarter, 3 of 4 three-pointers to score 18 points, leading the team to successfully complete the score reversal.
In the final quarter and overtime, Munch also had a very good performance. As a role player, Munch scored 29 points in this game, he is undoubtedly the Lakers' surprise in this game, and his outbreak helped the team win this game well.
After this game, Munch thanked the Lakers when he talked about his play in this game, Munch said that his career has been working in this direction, I am very happy that Pelinka found me last summer, I am grateful that they can give me a chance, I will continue to work hard and continue to play like this.
For Munch, he was able to continue to shine in this league, thanks indeed to the Lakers. Because in the offseason last year, when his contract with the Hornets expired, no team wanted to sign Munch, even if he was only 24 years old, just played in the league for 4 years, still has some potential, but there are not many teams that want to sign him. The Lakers can only sign a base salary player because of limited salary space, so they found Munch and were willing to give him a chance.
After Munch signed a basic salary contract with the Lakers, Munch also seized this opportunity and proved his strength very well. In the games that have ended this season, he has scored more than 20 points in 14 games, and although he has also had 2 and 1 points in a single game, Munch's performance will not disappoint in most games, and his excellent scoring ability and explosiveness can stand up when the team needs to attack.
For now, the Lakers signed Munch on a base salary last offseason, which is a very good signing, which greatly improves the overall strength of the team, while also reducing the pressure on James, Westbrook and Davis, allowing them to play more easily. Now Munch has become the main rotation of the Lakers and plays a very important role in the team's tactical system.
Although Munch now only takes the basic salary of the veteran, he has made a name for himself this season, and his popularity has been improved. If he can continue to play such a performance in the subsequent games and share the pressure of the Big Three in the game, then Munch is expected to sign a bigger contract and remain in the NBA.
