The 27-year-old D'Angelo Russell helped the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 134-110. However, at the end of the game, D'Angelo Russell didn't look very happy on the bench and was a little sad. D'Angelo Russell's post-match interview also made it impossible for fans and the media to guess what he was thinking.
Speaking after the game, D'Angelo Russell said: "I mean, it's something we all dream of doing. You go back to your childhood, practice moves, try all sorts of things in the backyard. I never thought you'd have the opportunity to do that. I never thought I'd be able to pick up a bouncing pass for LeBron James in a game. Things like that just keep you going, keep you entertained, just have fun. ”
D'Angelo Russell has been subject to a lot of skepticism since the playoffs last season. His inability to deliver consistent output on the offensive end, as well as his poor defense, have made him a point of attack for fans and media. Since the start of the new season, he has not played well enough to respond to the doubts of the outside world.
