Lakers 's second preseason match against Suns . Before the game, Thick Eyebrow would not play due to tight lower back, and Gabriel replaced Thick Eyebrow to start.
Episode 0: Thick Eyebrow must prevent such a preseason confrontation standard and dare not play. This is really fragile. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be ready to retire. Since he won the second championship in the park in 2020, he has become desireless.
Before Davis decided not to play, Lakers coach Ham had already arranged a set of our Li Nan coach's favorite three-back tactics in order to test the lineup.
starters are: Westbrook , Beverly , Reeves, James , and Davis (Gabriel replaced)
This lineup is quite good. The Lakers strongly suppressed the Suns in the whole first half. James and Westbrook not only drove the dual-core, but also performed well. At the end of the half, James scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Westbrook scored 4 of 10 shots and 12 points and 4 rebounds.
The team still played Westbrook at the beginning, and Westbrook did not disappoint everyone, scored points continuously, and once took charge of the top 6 points in the team. Looking at the whole game, although Westbrook's overall shooting rate is average, he has a positive attitude and is hardworking. The Lakers need his speed and ability to fight back.
is the familiar opening layup to get a bloody blood.
long shots are also very confident. Not only can they also add free throws
Westbrook can still score wonderful goals and assists. If it weren't for the near-limits, Westbrook's score would be more
James followed the 0-shot of 7 in the last game, and he was even more excited in this game. He was in a hurry. Not only did he fire from the outside, but he also rushed to the basket with a tough shot, and he didn't play like a 38-year-old veteran at all.
James once again showed his signature long shot three-pointer in the game.
can only say that James is still the same James . Although he has played for 20 seasons, he is still improving at the age of 38.
The Lakers led the Suns 69:62 at the end of the first half. In the second half, both sides sent substitutes to train, and James and Westbrook did not play again. In the last quarter, the Suns made a 13:2 impact to overtake the score and maintained until the end. In the end, the Lakers lost to the Suns 115:119.
After watching the whole game, it can be summarized as Lakers fans finally enjoyed it. They watched it very comfortably in the first half, and they would be a entertainment match in the second half.
The Lakers have been completely renewed under the coaching of new coach Ham. They have made great progress compared to last season. Not only does the defensive end pay attention to the team's defensive cooperation, but the offensive end is also relatively smooth, especially the use of Westbrook is more reasonable, but why do you feel that this thick eyebrows seem to be more energetic without playing? But the Lakers' problem is still the same. What are the water dispenser lineups? Either they play randomly or make mistakes, they can't make a basket or rebound.
Of course, losing in preseason cannot be considered a bad thing, it always shows the problems that many teams have.
Next, the Lakers will have to play , Timberwolves, , and against the Warriors. Coach Ham still has enough time to test the lineup. At least this game has given fans a glimmer of hope again.
