After the last overtime victory over Oklahoma City, the Lakers have won four consecutive victories and are only 0.5 points away from the Jazz. If they can continue their current momentum in the next game and regain the first place in the West One is a matter of time. After the winning streak, rumors about whether Schroder should be on the bench or traded have gradually decreased. The Lakers' current backcourt players Schroder, Caruso, Tucker, Pope, and Matthews also Begin to adapt to the team's current play style, the tacit understanding on the court is getting better and better.
Speaking of the Lakers guard, I have to mention Bradley. In the regular season last year, Bradley performed very well, averaging 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. With James as the team’s starting point guard, Bradley took on a strong defensive role. The important task of the guard, which allows James to focus entirely on organizing offense. I thought that the Lakers would start the playoffs with the regular season starting lineup. I didn't expect Bradley to miss all the playoffs on the grounds of "being with his family", which disrupted the Lakers' deployment.
Not only that, Bradley also never contacted his teammates during the playoffs, as if he suddenly broke off with the Lakers. Fortunately, the thickness of the Lakers bench is large enough to avoid losing to a team that has a double MVP backcourt against the Rockets. Since then, Bradley did not intend to renew the Lakers at all. He joined the Lakers' opponent in the Finals with the Miami Heat for $11.5 million in two years, and the role was reduced from the starting guard of the Lakers period to the Heat's bench.
Bradley averaged 8.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game for the Heat, which is almost the same as last season, but there is a feeling of disappearing from the fans’ sight, and there is no attention at all in Los Angeles. degree.
It is still hard to understand why he refused to attend the playoffs and left the Lakers.
