Today is the day the Lakers won their first win of the season, which was originally a happy thing, but I couldn't be happy, because although the Lakers narrowly beat the Grizzlies, the root cause of the team was not solved.
The Lakers' narrow win made people ignore some of the problems on the scene, the first half of the game is written by Westbrook in the main control, James as the contact point of the outside line to open up the space, the idea of doing so is nothing more than to reduce the problem caused by the poor shooting efficiency of Westbrook, and The performance of Westbrook in the first half has picked up, shooting 3 of 8 and sending out 10 assists, the performance of 10 assists in the half is very good, but we look at LeBron only 9 of 2, Obviously, this rhythm makes LeBron also uncomfortable.
LeBron made some adjustments in the second half to regain possession of the ball, but when this happened, Weisbrook seemed a bit redundant, in the second half Wesbrook shot 6 times only hit 1 goal, and 5 shots were all from his worst mid-range shots, and the thick eyebrows of 5 of the first half baskets only had 3 shots in the second half.
When Westbrook is not in control of the ball, his role is infinitely low, and he will also send a lot of mistakes, today's Westbrook's mistakes are as high as 9 times, shooting only 15 shots 5, to be honest, the reason why the Lakers can beat the Grizzlies today is because of melon Anthony's efficient play, but you can't always expect a veteran to save the Lakers every night, right?
And the Lakers' defense in this game is still not in place, giving the Grizzlies too many empty shots, but also let rookie Morant score 40 points, the Lakers can not be overwhelmed by the victory now, they need to figure out how to use LeBron, thick eyebrows, Weisbrook, and their bad defense needs to be taken seriously.
LeBron James' shooting this year can be described as reaching the highest point of his career, averaging 48.3% of three-point shooting per game, james has made himself the league's top scorer.
