Lakers 108-125 Warriors! Even more terrifying than losing is the words of the thick-eyed brother, which is called the leader
Today's NBA preseason, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 108-125, this game is basically no suspense, the first quarter Lakers trailed by 6 points, the second quarter the two teams were equal, the third quarter The Warriors continued to open the point difference, the last quarter The Lakers fought back many times, but could not narrow the point difference, and finally could only accept the defeat. In terms of statistics, Busheyebrow brother 15 points and 5 rebounds, Hachimura 12 points and 7 rebounds, Russell 15 points and 5 assists, Christie 15 points and 2 rebounds, Vanderbilt 6 points and 7 rebounds, Vincent 7 points and 4 assists, Hayes 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Wood 5 points and 4 rebounds, James and Reeves did not play.
The role of the preseason is to grind the lineup and help players find their form as soon as possible, so it doesn't matter who loses and who wins, but some problems exposed by the preseason should be worth paying attention to, looking at the whole game, the Lakers have three points that they did not do well, the first is the inaccuracy of the outside line in the first half, like Reddish and Prince how to shoot how iron, these two new signings are forwards, but the first game of the Lakers' career is not touched, Reddish 4 0 of 3 has not been stained, Prince 3 of 0, in the fourth quarter Reddish also returned to the locker room because of an ankle sprain, If Reddish continues to play like this, his position with the Lakers will be very dangerous and he may fall out of the rotation.
Secondly, several new signings of the Lakers did not perform well, in addition to the aforementioned ice shooter Reddish, Prince committed 5 fouls in 8 minutes and 6 fouls in the fourth quarter, of course, Prince's attitude on the defensive end is no problem, very positive, but he needs to control the foul, after all, there are many fouls, it is easy to disrupt the rhythm of the team.
It is undeniable that James and Reeves are not the two major playmakers, the Lakers do play a little chaotic, many rounds are relying on individual singles, but Reddish's ice shooter attributes, I'm afraid it is difficult to change, last season Reddish's three-point shooting rate was only 30.4%, 25.8% in the 21-22 season, indicating that Reddish himself is not good at shooting three-pointers, forward players are not good at shooting in the Lakers is difficult to stand, unless he can do well enough on the defensive end, so Reddish needs to prove himself as soon as possible.
The third problem is that the Lakers' rookie this year Xifino played badly, shooting iron, making many mistakes, defense is also easy to target, the key play is still a little independent, and it is difficult to enter the rotation in the regular season. Lakers in this game, there are three people who play remarkably, thick eyebrows can be inside and out, Russell shoots accurately, Christie is efficient, dares to fight, and is expected to become the next Reeves.
After the game, Thick Eyebrows was interviewed, talking about his first half hit two three-pointers, Thick Eyebrows said: "I was in the open position, that's it, I think our guards have done a good job of breaking through the defense and finding open players," In fact, looking back on the offseason, Thick Eyebrows once said in an interview that he focused on training three-pointers, and from today's game, Thick Eyebrows' projection has indeed improved, and what needs to be complained about is Hamm, and actually let Thick Eyebrows play No. 4, even if Wood plays No. 5 without defense, But Hayes is fully competent, just imagine, Brother Thick Eyebrows can play No. 4 inside and outside, Hays No. 5 is responsible for defense, then the deterrent of Brother Thick Eyebrows' offensive end will only be stronger. In addition, compared with last season, the speed of the thick eyebrows brother is obviously faster, which is conducive to him playing the No. 4 position.
Later, when talking about Christie's performance, Brother Thick Eyebrows said: "This guy can do anything, has ultimate confidence, you have a lot to say about Christie, but he put everything together," It can be seen that Brother Thick Eyebrows is very satisfied with Christie's performance. Speaking about the poor performance of new signings such as Prince, Reddish and Wood, the bushy eyebrows replied: "I told them after the game that they just need to keep shooting, and as I said before, we look very good on paper, after a few days of training camp I feel really like it looks, we are competitive, everyone is hungry, everyone is actively communicating on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which will get better and better with time, these guys have made the most of this summer, so I'm encouraged and excited. I just want to win the race and reach the ultimate goal (championship). ”
The meaning of the thick eyebrow brother is obvious, first of all, he encouraged several new signings, hoping that they can maintain their confidence and continue to shoot, I have to say that this is called the leader, and in the new season, the thick eyebrow brother will take on more responsibilities. Secondly, the thick eyebrows brother showdown, he only wants to win the championship in the new season, and he is full of confidence, he believes that the Lakers have all the conditions to win the championship, and the thick eyebrows brother does dare to say, but confidence is a good thing, which can motivate the Lakers team. In this game, the problems exposed by the Lakers, except for Reddish's three-pointer, Wood's defense, everything else can be solved, and James will appear in the preseason against the Nets, hoping that the Lakers can win.
