Lakers 108-122 Trail Blazers suffer 1 victory and 3 worries! Hidden dangers exposed inside, Smith +2 will lead to despair!

At the end of the game, the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers 108-122. In this game, the Lakers were at a disadvantage in all aspects. Basically they were chasing points throughout the game, which ultimately resulted in a loss. After the game, the Lakers encountered 1 joy and 3 worries.

The only good news is definitely Rivers. His performance after the start of this season is really terrifying, especially the total of 143 points scored in four games, which is already the league's first statistic. Especially in these two back-to-back games, Rivers maintained a perfect output on the offensive end. As he opens up this point, it will have a huge impact on the Lakers' offensive end. In addition, Doncic and James can't play together yet, so it's not easy for him to lead the team by himself.

However, the hidden dangers inside are still too great. Ayton encountered foul trouble in this game, which ultimately caused him to be a little afraid to move, so there were some "soft" situations. But as soon as he went down, the inside line collapsed. Not only are they unable to grab rebounds, but their defense is also declining. The inside rebounds are completely rotten, and opponents can break through to the inside at will. This is a point that the Lakers need to strengthen in the future. They need Ayton so much.

Smith's performance is also disappointing. In 19 minutes, he made only 1 of 5 shots and made 2 mistakes. More importantly, in order to sign him, the Lakers waived the NCAA scoring champion Dixon. Looking at it now, the Lakers' choice was obviously wrong. He will cause the team to collapse as soon as he comes on the court, his shooting will be stretched, and his inability to hold the ball will lead to many mistakes. He can be cut later, he is too useless.

Laravia and Knecht are also disappointing. Laravia scored key points at the critical moment of the game. This game was full of iron, and neither offense nor defense could give any impetus. Knecht also has a hip. Not only is he unique on the offensive end, but he is also strong in three-pointers, and he is also not good at defense. It is basically difficult for these two to live up to expectations. They may occasionally perform. It's just that there are still too few people available to the Lakers. It is estimated that there will still be playing time in the future, which is not a good guarantee for the Lakers.
