On April 8th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Lakers sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Timberwolves, before this game, the Lakers won 4 consecutive wins, their morale was high, I thought the Lakers would continue to soar, but this time they took turns to rest James, so the team eventually lost to the Timberwolves, and the thick eyebrows were injured. Next, let's talk briefly about the game process, and then talk about the players' performance.

Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Russell and Hachimura combined to score 4 points to help the Lakers take the lead, Gobert and McDaniels responded with 4 points, and the two sides played very close in the first quarter, relying on Dinwiddie to score 9 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers led by 4 points to end the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves seized the opportunity, and under Reed's leadership, they not only overtook the Lakers, but also established a 15-point lead to end the first half, and Reed scored 18 points in a single quarter.

E-side rematch Gobert inside kill helped the Timberwolves extend their lead to 20 points, and then Russell continued to assist Hayes to score, and they also narrowed the deficit to single digits, but Lee Kyle scored two points at the end of the quarter, and the Timberwolves led by 10 points to end the third quarter. The Timberwolves reextended their lead to more than 15 points after the final quarter showdown relied on the play of Walker and Lee Kyle, and then the Lakers also failed to play a decent comeback, and they eventually lost to the Timberwolves 117-127.

Reid played too well

After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, Edwards shot 9 of 20 from the field, 3 of 8 from three-point range and got 26 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists, this 20-year champion, talent is indeed good, but his offensive stability is also far from the league's first-team team, but Edwards' defense is good enough, so he can still help the team in other aspects when he doesn't play well.

Reed continued the excellent performance of the past few games, he shot 12 of 16 from the field, 6 of 8 three-pointers got 31 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist, in the past period of time Reed replaced the role of Towns very well, his space ability is very good, if the Timberwolves failed to achieve the expected record this season, I don't know if they will choose to send Towns away in the offseason to correct Reed, after all, Reed is only 3 years and 42 million, and the role of the two is the same.

Gobert also played a dominant role after the thick eyebrows went off the court, with 18 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists on 9-of-13 shooting, Walker scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists off the bench, and Lee Kyle got 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Dinwiddie proves his worth

Because of being poked in the eye, he only played 12 minutes and left, and got 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals on 2 of 6 shots, I thought Russell would stand up after the thick eyebrows were injured, but in the face of a tough battle, Russell was still not surprised, he was water again, Russell got 15 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal on 5-of-19 shooting, and in the face of high-intensity defense, his offense is still not trustworthy.

Reaves also failed to play a decent performance, with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-14 shooting, according to this play, the offense is inefficient, and the defense is not good to estimate that in the playoffs, they may not get as much playing time as they do now, because Dinwiddie is obviously a better choice than them, first of all, Dinwiddie's defensive ability has been proven, and secondly, Dinwiddie's offensive ability with the ball is not worse than them.

Dinwiddie shot 4 of 7 in the game, 3 of 5 three-pointers got 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Dinwiddie was the core of the ball when he was in the Nets, and he also led the Nets to the playoffs, his ability is very good, but he has not been given the opportunity to get the core, after the trade deadline this season, he joined the Lakers with a 1-year, 1.5 million contract, although he did not get too many opportunities in the early stage, but he has been recognized for his outstanding performance recently.

Since Dinwiddie joined the Lakers, he has averaged 6.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 24 minutes per game, and his three-point shooting rate is 36.4%. Hachimura was the best player on the Lakers' side in this game, he scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on 11-of-17 shooting, and he replaced the injury of thick eyebrows well off the bench, and he scored 19 points and 10 rebounds.

After the loss, the Lakers also fell from eighth to ninth, but the Lakers don't seem to be worried, otherwise they wouldn't choose to rest Lao Zhan, they don't care about the rankings, as long as they can maintain their core health, then they have the confidence to face any opponent. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Lakers and Timberwolves?
