Today's Lakers and Rockets game, this game the Lakers played without pressure, in the case of the advantage of the whole field, directly finished the Rockets.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is because of the big three + Anthony, and the play of the four of them has become the key to the Lakers' win every game. Westbrook 20+8+9, James 15+7+8, thick-browed brother 16+14+2, plus Anthony's 23 points, these four people directly bombed 74 points, which is really a bit exaggerated. Don't forget, they didn't play a lot of time in this game, but the efficiency was really strong.
Only at the end of the quarter, there was a slack on the Lakers' side. Because the team has taken a big lead, in this case, the Lakers have some disadvantages on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Originally 20+ ahead, but was chased by the Rockets to only about 10 points, forced the Big Three to re-play, fortunately finally stabilized.
Bradley, the player, finally got enough recognition to start today. Because he's following very tightly on the defensive end, he's now the lakers' best player on the outside. And in terms of three points, Bradley can score one from time to time, which is very critical for the Lakers' guard line reinforcement. After all, once he appears in the game, he will pounce on you, which makes up for Caruso's vacancy.
But the Lakers' defensive hidden dangers still exist. Against the Rockets today, their defense is indeed OK and has received a lot of praise from many people. But the Rockets didn't have three points today, and there was no threat. Before being countered by the Thunder, it was because of their three points. Because now the Lakers Westbrook and Jordan Jr. are slow to block and dismantle, Andthony can not make up for it, how to make up for these points will be a problem that Vogel needs to focus on.
Rondo also became the surprise of this game. Basically the whole game was standing, and then from time to time to point out Vogel. Don't forget, Vogel sometimes sits down and rests, Rondo is still standing, simply he directly as an assistant coach, as a player.
