The dawn of Los Angeles shines on the uncertain future of the Lakers
The picture comes from the Internet
The morning in Los Angeles was filled with sunshine at the Staples Center, as if to herald the start of a promising season, but for Lakers fans, the first glimmer of the new season was mixed with a hint of unease, and in the preseason game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers lost by eight points without James, a loss that rippled on a calm lake and raised concerns about the future of the defending champion team
Admittedly, the preseason win or defeat is far from representative of the final record, but this game is a true reflection of the challenges facing the Lakers, and the absence of star LeBron · James due to injury has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the team, the veteran who has played the role of the anchor on both offensive and defensive ends of the league, and his absence has made the Lakers' offense lose its backbone and the defense has become porous
The picture comes from the Internet
At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves showed a strong desire to attack, young and vigorous like wild horses, galloping on the court, on the other hand, the Lakers, it seemed a little slow, the offensive end lacked effective organization, and the defensive end was difficult to resist the impact of the opponent, at the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves led 36-23, and the Lakers fell into passivity
In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers' young player Bronny came off the bench, his appearance injected new vitality into the team, Bronny showed maturity and calmness on the court that did not match his age, his breakthrough and passing brought new ideas to the Lakers' offense, under Bronny's leadership, the Lakers once narrowed the gap to single digits, but the Timberwolves quickly stabilized their position, still maintaining a nine-point lead at halftime

Russell showed strong individual ability on the offensive end, he used the breakthrough to tear apart the opponent's defense, created scoring opportunities for his teammates, and at the same time he was able to hit key shots, under Russell's leadership, the Lakers chased the score to only one point in the third quarter, and the atmosphere in the Staples Center also reached a climax
The tenacious Timberwolves did not give up resistance, they played steadily at critical moments, and finally withstood the Lakers' counterattack, leading 95-88 into the final quarter, the final quarter, both sides sent bench lineups, the intensity and excitement of the game also decreased, and in the end, the Timberwolves relied on stronger bench depth, defeated the Lakers 121-113, and made a good start to the preseason

The loss in this game was a wake-up call for the Lakers and also raised questions about the team's prospects for the new season
With James out, the Lakers' offensive system is being tested
The picture comes from the Internet
Last season, James averaged 25 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, and was the Lakers' well-deserved offensive core
In this game with the Timberwolves, the Lakers' offense without James' tandem is very sluggish, the cooperation between the players is not tacit enough, the offensive end lacks an effective tactical system, and more often can only rely on the individual ability of the players to solve the problem
The picture comes from the Internet
The problem on the defensive end is prominent, and the Lakers need to find a solution as soon as possible
In addition to the problems on the offensive end, the Lakers also exposed a lot of problems on the defensive end, and in this game, the Lakers allowed the Timberwolves to score 121 points, including 37 points on the fast break and 54 points on the inside, such a defensive performance is obviously unsatisfactory
The picture comes from the Internet
The Lakers' sluggish performance on the defensive end is mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, the defensive attitude is not positive enough, and the players lack enough scramble and confrontation on the court; Second, the defensive rotation speed is slow, often leaving the opponent with open shooting opportunities; Third, the interior defense is weak, and it is difficult to withstand the impact of the opponent
Young players need to take on more responsibility and energize the team
The picture comes from the Internet
In James' absence, the Lakers' young players need to take on more responsibilities and inject new vitality into the team
Bronny has shown good breakthrough ability and passing vision on the offensive end, and he is also very active on the defensive end, while Rivers is a very well-rounded player who can score, play, and defend, and I believe that these young players will play an even more important role in the future as they gain experience in the game

Conclusion: In the darkness before dawn, the Lakers need to forge ahead
For the Lakers, this preseason loss was just a minor setback, and all they need to do is take the lessons learned and prepare well for the upcoming season
In the new NBA, the competition is still fierce, and the Lakers still face huge challenges if they want to defend the championship, but we believe that as long as the Lakers can overcome the difficulties and unite as one, they will still be strong contenders for the championship
The dawn of Los Angeles shines on the uncertain future of the Lakers, but we believe that this team full of glory will overcome obstacles and create brilliance in the new season!
