averaged 1 point and 5 rebounds per game, and the Lakers extended their contract by 48 million for four years but lost moneySuper value for money
On August 8th, Beijing time, the NBA's midseason game ** four has kicked off, the Pacers defeated Milwaukee, and the Lakers also defeated the Pelicans in an easy manner, and the two teams entered the finals. Let's talk about the players of the Lakers, needless to say about the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, the Lakers won the victory in only three quarters with the strength of James, and ended the game with a score of 44 points.
In this battle, James was 9 of 12 in 22 minutes, 4 of 4 in 3 points, and scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, for Lao Zhan, this is also what he dreamed of, at the age of 38, his physical fitness made him unable to maintain high efficiency for 36 minutes, he wanted to shorten the playing time as much as possible and save physical strength, and now with so many main players, Lao Zhan finally has a goal.
James has been doing really well in recent times, and his goal is clear: to win the playoffs. This is the first playoff game in NBA history, and if James wants to reach Jordan's heights, it is certainly not enough to have FMVP and championships, so he has to go another way, such as scoring 40,000 points and then winning the playoffs.
With the return of several key players, the Lakers have shown a strong ability to reach the Western Conference Finals last season, and in this game, they scored double digits and only allowed the opponent to score 89 points, and the offense and defense were very good. Thick eyebrows shot 5 of 10 and scored 16 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Russell finished with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 6-of-10 shooting, and he signed Russell to a two-year extension, which is a very worthwhile deal for now.
Reaves also played very well, in this game, Reaves made five of nine free throws, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, and signed a four-year contract of 53.83 million with the Lakers. Although Hachimura is very strong, he didn't get many opportunities to play, this game, Hachimura played 19 minutes, got 12 points and 2 assists, and has averaged 11 in 23 minutes per game so far this season4 points, which is also very good.
Prince also performed well, he made five of nine free throws, got 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, he and Reddish joined, making the Lakers players richer, and Reddish was 3 of 6, got 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Reddish has become the team's main player, his contribution has far exceeded his expectations, this battle, his +31+1, helped the team get 31 points.
In recent times, the Lakers have won three in a row, and due to Vanderbilt's comeback, they have not scored 100 points in three games, perhaps because the Lakers' offensive ability is so strong that they ignore the importance of Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt only got two points, five rebounds, an assist and a block in this game, judging from this number, his performance is not outstanding, but +9 of +9 is enough to prove his status in the team.
In the game against the Suns, he got 1 point, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, his plus/minus is 6, against the Rockets, he is 0 of 2, 0 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, +2, as long as he is there, the team can get points, and Vanderbilt has become a defensive line for the team with his excellent defense, which makes him look somewhat similar to Tucker, although he did not score, but for the victory, his credit is huge.
Judging from these numbers, Vanderbilt's value is not high, in fact, judging from his performance, he is much better, because he signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Lakers, and the average salary is as high as 12 million, and it can be seen from this number that Vanderbilt's current average score has been as high as 167. What does this mean?His team can finish 16 out of 100 gamesWith 7 points, he is the fifth-ranked player in the NBA.
His defensive efficiency is 934, ranked 2nd in the league, his performance proved his role, he is a line of defense on a defensive line, when the thick eyebrows left, Van Debiao relied on his excellent singles and fill-ins, so that the bench defense became better, avoiding some mistakes, which is also a good thing, even if he was injured, the Lakers did not give him too many rotation opportunities.
Once the ban is lifted, Vanderbilt can put up a better result, last season, Vanderbilt and Bushy Eyebrows relied on their backlines to reach the Western Conference Finals, he deserved the contract, and it was worth the money, he hasn't lost a game since his return, which is enough to prove that he is good.
Speaking of which, what do you guys think of the Lakers?Please leave a comment.
