On October 18, Beijing time, in the NBA preseason, the Lakers reversed the Suns 128-122, and the Lakers once trailed the Suns by 10 points in this game, and LeBron was rested in this game, and the Suns side Durant, Beal, Booker, Nurkic and other cores all appeared, but I didn't expect the Lakers No. 17 rookie to become the X factor of this campaign.
The Lakers trailed the Suns by as many as 8 points before the start of the fourth quarter, and then Kneckert began his own performance, especially with 6.4 seconds left in the final quarter, hitting a game-tying three-pointer against Bol's long arm, and he scored 12 points in the final quarter with 4-of-5 + 3-of-3 three-pointers.
With 1 minute and 39 seconds left in overtime, Kneckt completed a dry three-point draw in the weak bottom corner against the defense, which helped the Lakers defeat the Suns, and the Lakers had a lead of 4 points, and in 5 minutes of overtime, Rickett scored 13 points on 4-of-6 + 3-pointers on 3-of-4, and yes, he scored 25 points in overtime + the final quarter.
The Lakers won't be able to believe it was a rookie performance, with 20 of the Lakers' final 22 points coming to Knecht alone, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly created the comeback.
In addition to cheering for his rookie brother Kneckett on the court, LeBron James also retweeted Kneckett's stats after the game.
Kneckett played 32 minutes in the game, 10-of-18, 8-of-13 three-pointers, 35 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks, with a true shooting rate of 81.3%, he should be the only win for the Lakers this summer.
Knecket, who became the first rookie in Lakers history to score 30+ in preseason history since the 1996-97 season, a 27-year record, said of his performance after the game: "I said to LeBron and Bushy Eyebrows, it's time for me to take over the game. ”
The top shooters in NBA history who have not hit 8 three-pointers in a single game: Miller, Durant, Nash, Bird, Korver, Norte, Kerr.
Booker spoke about Knekt's performance: He can shoot, he can score, he can't be incredible, I didn't know much about him before this game, and now he's definitely someone we need to pay attention to.
