After winning the midseason tournament, the Lakers are about to play against the Mavericks, led by Doncic. Although the Lakers did not achieve victory in this game, it did not affect their determination and hard work in the playoffs and championships. In the game, the Lakers fell into a digging situation in the first quarter, allowing the Mavericks to gain an eight-point advantage. However, in the second quarter of the game, James and Bushy Eyebrows began to exert their power and led the team to gradually tie the point difference. In particular, Brother Thick Mei hit a three-pointer in the third quarter to help the team complete the reversal of the score at 95:93, showing his all-round ability and calmness at critical moments.
However, the Mavericks' toughness in the final moment broke the Lakers' winning streak and made them regret to accept the defeat of the game. In this game, Brother Bush's outstanding performance became the highlight of the Lakers. His scoring on the interior and his role on the defensive end gave the team an advantage, and without his presence, the game could have been over. Meanwhile, there were two players who had disappointing performances. First up was Rivers, who was in a great game last time out, basking in the joy of this game, hitting back-to-back games and making three turnovers;The other is Water Lassell. His performance is also unsatisfactory and he needs to be criticized.
Although the Lakers lost in this game, it is commendable for the outstanding performance of the thick eyebrows, his all-round ability and play in key moments to win opportunities for the team. At the same time, the defeat has made the team more aware of their shortcomings, and I believe that they will continue to improve in the next games and continue to work hard to achieve the championship goal. In recent games, the Lakers have not been as good as they could be. Although the team's core players James and Bushy Eyebrows both played well, the team's overall performance did not meet expectations. One of the reasons for this is that the team's point guard, Russell, is not performing as well as he should. In the last game, Russell made a lot of mistakes at key moments, causing the Lakers to lose the game.
In this game, Russell's performance was still not satisfactory. In the first three quarters of the game, he only shot 1-of-3, with 7 points, 7 assists, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. On the field, his win-loss rating is the lowest on the team. Such a performance clearly does not allow the team to win. For the Lakers to do better this season, Russell needs to be sober. As the team's point guard, he needs to better organize the team's offense, improve his shooting percentage, and reduce turnovers and fouls. Only then will the Lakers be able to achieve more victories. However, if Russell can't improve his performance, then the team needs to consider the possibility of trading him. After all, the team's goal is to compete for the championship, not just to make the playoffs.
If Russell can't help the team achieve that goal, the team needs to consider trading him to find a player who can better help the team win. In short, the Lakers need to improve their overall performance in the next games, and Russell in particular needs to play more soberly on the court, otherwise the team's goal will be difficult to achieve.
