On January 22, Beijing time, in the NBA regular season, the Lakers finally defeated the powerful Bucks by 7 points. In this game, the Lakers' insider Harrell performed quite well.
Lakers backup center Harrell, played 26 minutes in this game, 4 of 7 free throws, 4 of 7 free throws, 4 of 4 scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. The defensive end has very important output, and it is not easy to grab two offensive rebounds. Because of this game, after all, the opponents have big players like Lopez and Antetokounmpo. It is not easy for you to grab so many offensive rebounds from them. The comparison of the number of offensive rebounds between the two sides today is 6 :5, 6 on the Lakers side. The Bucks have 5, and only Harrell and Lopez grabbed two offensive rebounds in the entire game. It can be seen that Harrell's role in rebounding is outstanding.
Since his transfer from the Clippers to the Lakers at a value of 19 million, Harrell’s performance has been quite outstanding. He has played 25 minutes per game throughout the season until now. More than three minutes less than during the Clippers period, averaging 14 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist per game. Compared with last season's 9 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the Clippers period, it is not much worse, and free throws. The shooting percentage has also increased from 65.8% to 70.4%, and the two-point shooting percentage has increased from 58% to 63.7%. This fully shows that Harrell cherishes the opportunity in the Lakers very much.
Although he does not have as many shots as the Clippers, his efficiency is very high. If you want to consider that in the Clippers, he has been working with the former Rockets teammate Lu Wei for 3 years. After losing such an important tacit partner, he can still have such a stable output. It's really not easy.
Don’t look at Harrell’s height of just over two meters, but his ability to grab offensive rebounds is really strong. This season he averaged 3 rebounds per game, compared to 2.6 last season. One step further,Now it has become a very important offensive rebound protection for the Lakers, and he often initiates second offenses quickly after grabbing offensive rebounds, such as dunks, or other fatal blows. Judging from this situation, the Rockets mistakenly let go of him that year was really a big failure. The Rockets signed him with the 32nd overall pick in 2015, but it took only two years. He gave him off to the Clippers, and now Harrell has beaten the Rockets with a brilliant performance.
