The NBA Summer League continued this morning, with a total of seven games, four of which have been played so far, the most watched of which is the Rockets vs. Lakers, who ended the game with a score of 80-99, and so far, the Lakers have lost all three games.
Today's new signing of the Rockets, Shepard, has played his part, although he is not very tall, 1.91 meters, but he shows instinct and judgment on the defensive end, has a good ability to interfere with the ball, and when defending off the ball, he has excellent steal skills and can disrupt the opponent's offense. Shepard scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, shooting 9 of 17 and 4 of 6 three-pointers, and the Rockets finally found their marksman.
Whitmore shot 8-of-11 from the field, shooting 47.1 percent from the field and had three turnovers in the game, but the defense needed to be strengthened.
AJ Griffin, the son of former Bucks head coach Griffin, Griffin shot 2 of 7 in this game, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and only scored 8 points in the whole game.
On the other hand, the performance of these Lakers players made the Lakers management sitting on the court shake their heads, especially Pelinka's disappointed expression.
In this game, Bronny's 8 in 0 three-point shots, almost all of them were shot in a big vacancy, no one defended the situation, and when attacking, he was used to squatting in the bottom corner and waiting for the ball, there was always an illusion, 5v3~4, in the first quarter of the game, Bronny dribbled over half of the court and was tackled and counterattacked.
After today's game, Bronny missed all 12 three-pointers in the entire summer league, and at present, the three-point offense is not good, and the defense is not very good, which shows that his mood is still affected by the outside world, if he performs now, it is impossible to enter the rotation lineup, unless the Lakers send him to the court one or two times purely to create a record of father and son on the same stage.
This year, the Lakers' new rookie Kneckett's performance is still very good among many rookies, shooting 9 of 18, shooting 50%, 5 of 11 three-pointers, Kneckett dares to fight on the court, and there is still a lot of hope for entering the Lakers' normal rotation lineup according to the performance of the summer league, just to see if he can adapt to the NBA's defensive intensity.
The Lakers are currently on a four-game losing streak in the summer league, losing by an average of 15 points per game, so how will Lakers management change next?
