The Lakers have come to two cruel facts after losing

Not saved! Knector smashed the basket and no one dared to ask for it! Two cruel facts about the Lakers' loss were born

The mud cannot be supported by the wall, and it is completely ruined! Just today, the Lakers Summer League collapsed at 58:63 in the end of the quarter, losing to the Clippers and losing the same-city derby. In terms of data, Brownie James did not hide his flaws, making 6 of 10 shots in the game, scoring a summer league high of 17 points and 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Knector, who is the same rookie as him, is a negative teaching material. He made 3 of 15 shots, failed to score many times, and failed to score in big open positions. His three-pointer was even more 1 of 8 shots, which is completely unacceptable. The plus-minus value of the whole game is minus 13, almost the last in the team. The role of him and Brownie is one in the sky and one in the ground. It seems that Knector has taken great pains to prevent himself from being traded by the Lakers.

The second half changed sides and Brownie assisted his teammates. Steward received his pass and made a three-pointer from 25 feet out, and the Lakers 32-34. Koloko responded with a 17-foot jump shot, and Nocht assisted. Miller received Christy's assist and made a 7-foot breakout layup, showing excellent finishing ability. Christie scored easily with a quick layup and tied 36-36. Brownie missed a 6-foot floater, Christie was fouled for a rebound, and made two free throws.

At the critical moment, Kneckett received Brownie's assist and completed a powerful dunk! This dunk made the whole game excited, and the Lakers took the lead 37-38. Miller scored two free throws, Kroko immediately responded and cut into the dunk, Steward assisted just right.

Koloko showed his dominance in the inside in the middle of the third quarter, blocking Simpson and Nidelhause for layups, and outstanding ability to protect the basket. Nidelhause then made two consecutive dunks to widen the score to 43-40. Kroko was not willing to be outdone and completed the cut and dunk, 43-42. Simpson received Christy's assist and cut into the score, Baldwin dunked at the last moment, but the Clippers ended the third quarter 48-43.

Prakidas made a 24-foot three-pointer in the fourth quarter, and Sved scored consecutively to pull the score to 51-48. Brownie missed the 27-foot three-pointer but immediately assisted Sved to hit a key three-pointer, tying the score 51-51!

Miller received Simpson's assist and scored a 6-foot basket, and Telford responded with a 25-foot three-pointer. Sved made a 26-foot fast break three-pointer and overtook 56-54, while Steward tied with a 9-foot hook. In the last moment, Bronnie made a breakthrough layup and contributed 17 points, but Kneckett missed a big open position in the key three-pointer. Miller overtook 59-58 with 26-foot three-pointers from the outside, and then made a breakthrough layup to secure the victory. The Lakers missed the final consecutive shots, and the Clippers narrowly won 67-58. Two unquestionable facts were born after the game, and Lakers fans were happy and worried.

The first indisputable fact is that Bronny James is absolutely capable! In the summer, I practice hard and train with my dad. His shooting, breakthroughs and rhythm have made great progress, and even his ability to make strong three-pointers in the game has been trained. "The tiger father has no dog son" is really not a joke. A player with excellent physical talent and explosive power will have a place in the league if he practices his shooting. I don’t know how many Zhan Hei’s face will be ruined in today’s game. I believe that Brownie will definitely be the backbone of the Lakers' bench in the regular season this season.

The second indisputable fact is that Kneckett can no longer trade. I don’t know if he was pure or deliberately beaten like this. There was no game in the entire summer league that shot more than 50%. Today, he made 3 of 15 shots, hitting the basket directly wrongly. This game shows that Kneckett has no value at all. There is definitely a reason why he was frequently DNPed by Redick in the playoffs last season. A player's mentality, ability, and shooting level are so poor, which is enough to illustrate the problem. Now, the Lakers can't send him out at all. At this level, I'm afraid I have to pay two first rounds to change to a top 3D player like Wiggins who has both offense and defense. What is even more unacceptable is Nocht's mentality problem. There was no game in the summer league that hit the ball more than 50%, and today I even hit the basket directly wrongly. This behavior makes people suspect that he deliberately beat him like this and chose to make a bad move in order not to be traded. There is another detail in the game, that is, after Nocht missed a good chance in the last moment, Brownie looked at him with obvious anger, which is enough to illustrate the problem. No matter how good your temper is, you can't stand such low-level mistakes.
