Hamm drinks chicken soup, James is slightly satisfied! After the showdown, Russell's fate is obvious!
On February 6, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Hornets and finally defeated the Hornets with a score of 118-124. Although the Lakers once had the upper hand with a 21-point advantage, because in the fourth quarter, he had a problem with his thigh muscles, Bridges and Miller were on the court, which gave them hope of a comeback, but unfortunately, at the last minute, their interior also made mistakes, resulting in Reaves and Brown on three free throws, and in the end, the Lakers won, but they also encountered some difficulties, and in the end, they won the victory. However, in this game, the Lakers already have a big advantage, which is why the Lakers were able to win easily.
After the match, Ham recounted what he had gained in the 4-2 game, saying: "Success depends on us, and when difficulties come, we can overcome them, not run away, we are here to fight." "Ham naturally wants to cheer up his teammates, the Lakers' performance this time is really good, but they also have a lot of problems, such as Ham, his training has always been doubted, such as today's game, Rivers' performance is not very good, and even Rivers was targeted by Miller! After playing again and again, Ham still hasn't changed, otherwise, the Lakers in this game would not have worked so hard.
Asked after the game about the role of the new players for the team, James said: "We have better physicality, Hacimla is more suitable for us, we need more time to find him, especially if he makes mistakes in the box then our formation will cause us problems. "Obviously, James is happy to see Hachimura Hachimura play, as James said, their height occupies the absolute upper hand, the combination of Prince, Reeves, Russell, is really poor on the defensive end, they have to send the main players, Vanderbilt is also the best choice, but Vanderbilt is injured, so Hachimura becomes the main player! But Hachimura's performance is still very good.
Commenting on the post-match rumours about his move, Russell said: "I don't care, I'm just playing, and that's it, I think it's worth it for me. I used to play for the Lakers, so I knew what it took to win at Liverpool. After the game, Russell also went head-to-head with him, although Russell was caught in transfer rumors, but Russell was unmoved, as it seems that Russell still wants to prove his worth, and Russell has also performed well, from the three-point line, Russell does not need to leave immediately.
The first problem is that for the Lakers, they will have a hard time getting a better candidate from Russell, and although Morey is considered their main rival, Morey is a big expense for them, and they have no interest in Russell, so it will be difficult for them to negotiate with Russell. The second reason is that Russell's attack power is too strong, and Russell's recent attacks are also very good, but in exchange for Russell, it is a good addition. The third reason is Russell's ball control, the current Lakers team is still missing something, Reaves is terrible defensively, James is getting older, his desire to attack is getting less and less, if Russell can't return to the point guard position, it will be a huge challenge for the Lakers. In this way, Russell will not be gone for the time being.
