The Bucks are home to the Lakers' challenge today. Both teams lost their last game and lost the top spot in the East and West. In the first half, the Bucks always had the upper hand with the excellent performance of Holiday, Antetokounmpo, and others. Three of the team scored in double figures in the half, and all 10 players who played were scored. The balanced play helped them most of the time. Both maintain the lead.
But the Lakers have been biting the score throughout the first half and waiting for the opportunity. At the last moment, Pope scored two three-pointers. The Lakers cheetah jumped and sent a 11-2 offensive to overtake the first half by 6 points. After the easy side battle, the Lakers widened the score difference several times to double digits. Although the tenacious Bucks can always respond in a timely manner and quickly catch up with the score, the stable performance of the Lakers did not give their opponents a chance to reverse the situation. They used it at the last moment. Three three-pointers doused the Bucks' final counterattack. In the end, the Lakers won the game away from the Bucks.
In this game, the team's starting point guard Schroder performed poorly. He played 32 minutes and scored 4 points, 1 assist and 2 steals on 2 of 10 shots; 's performance against Schroder, the former Celtics legendary star Paul Pierce commented that I don’t know how Schroeder got mixed up in the starting position. As a point guard, he doesn’t have any organizational skills, and he has become a major disadvantage of the team on the defensive end. On the board, the Bucks can score arbitrarily on him no matter who they are; once they lose the shooting feel and cannot score, he will only drag the Los Angeles Lakers forward.
In fact, Pierce said nothing wrong this time. Once he encounters a fast and strong opponent, Schroeder will lose himself on both offense and defense, not only can’t share James and Davis The offensive pressure on the body, the timing of the shots were not well grasped, and he became a "thousand-thousand poke" when defending; when Schroeder was on the court, he always seemed incompatible with the entire Lake.
In the offseason last year, Pelinka, the team’s vice president and general manager, used Danny Green and the 2020 first-round pick to get the German point guard from the Thunder, which is optimistic that he can become Zijin The army’s third scoring point and share the organizational pressure on James; but ideals are often beautiful.The reality is cruel. Judging from the current situation, Schroder is not what the Lakers are looking for; if such a competitive state continues, it is not impossible for the Lakers to get rid of Schroder.
