Brownie s 1 of 12 out of 12 due to weak legs? Redick is completely different? US media: James training resources are still making excuses

Los Angeles Lakers lost 81-103 in preseason debut. Neither team is complete. From the regular season, there is no reference value, but judging from the performance of young players, the Lakers are defeated. Kneckett and Brownie, two sophomore students who are highly anticipated, are getting worse than the other.

Brownie played well in the summer league, but his debut in the preseason was 24 minutes, 1 of 12 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 8.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 12.5%. (Kneckett made 2 of 10, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 mistakes) Brownie and Kneckett can be called the Lakers' new version of the Dragon and Phoenix Chicken.

Brownie made an excuse for 1 of his 12 shots: I don’t think I took action barely, nor did I take action hastily. I just felt that there was a problem with my leg strength and my leg strength was not at its best, so many of my shots were shorter.

You should know that Brownie played better than Knector in the summer league. He averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting percentage of 44.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%, which is much better than the 2024 Summer League. Many people support him in the rotation, but the preseason was revealed immediately.

Redick is even more helpless in praising him: I think Brownie is more confident and more comfortable than in the first year, and has improved both in reading and technical aspects of the game, but there is still a certain gap in personal training, small-scale confrontation, and the 5V5 games in the whole game. Compared to his first year, he is completely different. I think the experience of the Development League last year has gradually adapted to the pace of the NBA.

It's a pity that the US media Eddie2Rich did not buy it. He criticized after the game: No one should have spoken for Brownie James. That child uses the same resources as LeBron James, training equipment and trainers. If Brownie fails to succeed, you can only blame yourself for not working hard enough! The second year is, stop making excuses, we have heard enough.
