On November 7, Beijing time, Lakers challenged Trail Blazers away, and in the end, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 90-105. In this game, Thick Eyebrow was due to stomach disease. She withdrew from the game after only 7 minutes in the first quarter. She thought that after thick Eyebrow stuttering, Howard could be reused in this game, but in fact, Howard still failed to get a lot of playing time.
With 4 minutes and 51 seconds left in the first quarter, Howard replaced Davis on the court, probably because he played a little early today and he played in nearly 5 minutes in the first quarter. You should know that Howard only played for 8 minutes in the last game! Howard, who had just started playing, looked very excited, waved his right hand and showed a happy smile on his lips, not at all, as if the team was 11 points behind.
However, looking at the whole game, Howard only played 15 minutes in this game, and more playing time in the inside was given to Xiao Jordan , and Jordan played for 20 minutes. Fans who watched this game should be able to feel that Howard's effect on the Lakers is better than Jordan Jr. Whenever Howard is on the court, we can see that he is actively fighting and defending actively, and his performance on the court is very active and effective. Judging from the data, Howard is also significantly better than Jordan Jr. Howard made 3 of 6 shots in 15 minutes (5 of 6 free throws) and scored 11 points (second only to Monk's 13 points and Melon 's 12 points), 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and the net victory was -5 points when he was on the court; Jordan Jr. made 3 of 5 shots in 20 minutes (no free throws) and scored 6 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and the net victory was -24 points when he was on the court.
However, it is worth mentioning that when Jordan Jr. started in the third quarter of the second half with 5 minutes and 52 seconds left, Trail Blazers Powell was standing at the free throw line. Jordan Jr., who was standing at the free throw position, looked at the technical stand on the sidelines, and looked at the bench on the sidelines, confirmed the time of this time. Vogel still had no intention of letting Howard replace himself at the time, and Howard was sitting firmly on the bench chair. Then Jordan also spread his hands and signaled in Vogel's direction, probably expressing his confusion about why Vogel didn't use Howard to replace him at that time. Vogel's free throw time was to replace Westbrook Bradley with Rondorevs, and did not send Howard to replace Jordan Jr.
As expected, Vogel should have understood what Jordan Jr. meant at that time, and the next timeout time of the game. When he returned from the suspension with 4 minutes and 38 seconds left in the third quarter, Vogel replaced Jordan Jr. with Howard. As a result, Howard, who performed well in the first half, did not get playing time in the second half until 4 minutes and 38 seconds left in the third quarter.
is actually not just this game. In the past Lakers games, Howard's performance in the interior has always been very good except for Thick Eyebrow. It may not be compared with Thick Eyebrow on the offensive end, but at least he did a very good job in the defensive end, and he performed actively and had strong ability to protect the basket. I hope Vogel will really think more about Master Huo when Davis is tired on the court and Jordan Jr. to give him more playing time.
