After watching the Warriors fight against the Timberwolves, I found that Redick is right, and that he said he was not prepared and that he was Doncic.

After watching the recent playoffs, especially the Warriors and the Timberwolves, I realized that Redick has always said before that some people in the Lakers were not ready, and what he said is really no problem, and what he said is not someone else, it is Doncic. It is very simple. It has no meaning to say that a role player is not ready. In most cases, those who really change the game are stars, not role players! So, in what aspects did Doncic not prepare? Why do you say so?
Let's first look at the Warriors and the Timberwolves today's game. Curry played in the first quarter and scored 13 points. Then, he withdrew from the game due to a calf injury. So, what should I do after Curry is gone? Butler stood up and carried the team on his shoulders. You know, the opponent had just finished the tiebreak battle. After the game, in an interview with the media, Butler said that he was so tired that he could no longer hear any sound.
Butler's point of view is obvious, he is really tired! But you have to try your best on the field! Here, we have to mention James. Butler is very tired when facing the Timberwolves. What would James look like? You know, James is several years older than Butler! After James finished the playoffs, all other data were ranked first in the team except for scoring. This is the only performance of a 40-year-old veteran in the NBA. So James has done everything he should do. There is no way, he has done better!
Let's take a look at Doncic, look at the game between the Cavaliers and the Pacers, the performance of the two leading stars, Mitchell scored 48 points in the whole game, Halliburton completed the final victory at a critical moment in the fourth quarter, so what about Doncic? By the third quarter, he had already started to be unable to play, let alone in the fourth quarter. Naturally, his ability is not to be said, it is really strong, but the key problem is that he can only score in the first half and his efficiency in the second half is too low!
From the recent playoff games, it can be seen that no matter how strong your scoring ability is, you will lead by 10 points or 20 points, it is nothing. Today, the Cavaliers are 20 points ahead of the Pacers? Wouldn't he be killed? As the star of a team, you can't be unable to play in the second half and your physical strength cannot be guaranteed. So what else can you play?
So why did Redick always stick to his point of view when he was interviewed after the series? He was unwilling to take responsibility. He always said that the team could not score points in the fourth quarter and kept saying that some players were not ready. As it turned out, he was right. Compared with Mitchell, Halliburton, Brunson, Curry, Butler, Jokic and others, Doncic had no doubt fallen behind. This is a fact. Many people may not have seen this, but the fact is that Doncic is really fallen behind!
A young man who is only 26 years old is 15 years younger than the James War. You can't count on James to save the team in the fourth quarter. Just like today's Warriors and the Timberwolves. Curry withdrew from the game in the first quarter, and the Warriors still won the game. Doncic has never really stood up in a single game in 5 games!
Apart from Doncic, Hachimura Shizuo was not ready. After the series ended, he complained that he could not be allowed to fight for rebounds with the Timberwolves' big man. The team must have someone to stand up and grab rebounds. I wonder what he meant by saying this? In the entire playoffs, he averaged only 4.6 rebounds per game, while James had 9. I wonder if he looked at the data. Will he still say that when he saw this data?
and Rivers, who were not ready, had to understand one thing, basketball will eventually return to physical confrontation. The regular season moves will not work in the playoffs, and the referee will not pay attention to him. Then Curry of the Warriors can face fierce confrontation, so why can't he face it? So he should no longer practice any basketball skills. He needs to practice boxing. He must first ensure that he is not suffering a physical disadvantage, and then talk about playing basketball.
Finally, the person who was not prepared was Redick. Look at Coach Cole of the Warriors. The Warriors performed the best in these two games. The person who saved the team was Hilder. How bad his performance was, he was not as good as Vincent. But the problem is that Coach Cole trusted him very much and kept using him. Look at Redick. Vincent proved his player in the playoffs, but he was abandoned directly. With such a performance, he was embarrassed to say that the player was not ready.
Judging from the confrontation situation in this playoffs, the Lakers are not at the same level as other teams in terms of competitive mentality. It does not mean that the team is not strong enough or talented. There are not many people who really want to win. The attitude of trying their best on the court has not been shown by a few people. Let's come back next season, especially Doncic. Doncic, don't say that you can't play in the fourth quarter.
Doesn't it say why James didn't play well, rather than that he? They will retire next year or the year after, and Doncic is the future of the Lakers. Is it appropriate to compare a 26-year-old boy to a person who is about to retire? Of course, if Doncic does not seek to make progress, there is nothing he can do.
When I watched the Warriors fight against the Timberwolves, I found that Redick was right, and that he was not prepared, that he was Doncic!
