The two controversial points of the Lakers finally came together! Laravia became the top 3D, and Knecht returned confidently!

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 116-115. The Lakers played a truly thrilling game in this game, almost collapsing in the final quarter, but fortunately Rivers made a sure kill. But in addition to Rivers, there are actually two points where the performance is crucial. They have been controversial players before, and this game once again featured surprise players.

One is Laravia, whose offense and defense collapsed in the last game. In this game, Laravia made 10 of 11 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. When such data was displayed, the fans gave absolute praise, especially the digging on the offensive end, which made him a stable output point from the outside. And on the defensive end, his contribution is also good. He has become a 3D player, which is what the fans hope he will show before the season.

However, there was still a regret at this time, that is, when he completed his rampage, especially after leading by 20 points, basically no one passed the ball to him, and several teammates with large open spaces could not see it. This was a complete waste of his perfect touch. If the ball continues to be given to him later, his data will not only be like this, this is a flaw in this game.

Knecter's performance is also very crucial. The Lakers now have very few rotations, especially on the bench, and Knecht alone has enough scoring ability. As he scored 15 points, he was a huge pillar of support for the bench. Moreover, he also showed absolute confidence on the offensive end in this game, which is a very happy performance.

In addition, Knect also performed well on the defensive end. At least he had a little defensive anticipation, which allowed him to play some role on the defensive end. Of course, his three-point shooting rate still cannot recover. Fortunately, his defense and impact are now showing. With the current shortage of personnel, as long as he maintains confidence, his form will surely slowly return. And as long as the two of them stay in good shape, even if Doncic and James can't play, the Lakers' strength is still not bad.
