Good news: Locked in the scoring title in advance! Bad news: Strained groin in the first game?

43 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. This is the data Doncic handed over in the first game of the Lakers season.

The Lakers seemed to have only lost 10 points, but they were beaten by the Warriors on the ground and relied on the burned-out Doncic to barely bite the score.

Butler scored 31 points, the highest in the Warriors era. Curry scored 23 points, and even Kuminga scored 17 points with ease on the inside and outside. The SLR Lakers have above-qualified defensive capabilities. This is impossible to happen. Except for Doncic and Rivers, the Lakers do not have the ability to score independently

Most of Ayton's 5-for-7 shots were pie-in-the-sky, and it should be possible to replace other centers. Vanderbilt, who claims to have worked hard on shooting during the offseason, made 0 of 4 shots today and scored 0 points. Smart has become Curry's killer. Several defensive moves against joints were considered flagrant fouls. It can be said that the Lakers lost a mess today in terms of both statistics and performance.

Today's game has already concluded the Lakers' new season without exaggeration. Doncic's super-high statistics + the accuracy of the entire Lakers team will make it difficult to win the game. Doncic's single-handedly reversed game today If the Lakers don't score 35+ points, there is no possibility of winning. We can also congratulate Doncic in advance for locking the scoring champion in the new season, but the premise is that he is not injured

A medical expert analyzed Luka Doncic's body language in the last few minutes of the game. He said that Doncic had been rubbing his right adductor muscle, and it was suspected that he might have a groin injury. The future situation is also worrying. Although Doncic strongly denied it after the game, saying that he only had some pain in his hip, if Doncic is really allowed to continue burning like this, whether he can last until the end of the season is a big question

Now the Lakers' only hope is pinned on the 41-year-old James. If he can return on time in a month, the team's pressure on the offensive end will inevitably be reduced by a large amount, and only then can the team's performance on the defensive end be improved. And if James cannot come back on time, we can only hope that the Lakers can win a few more games against weaker teams to reduce the pressure of competing for the playoff spots

In fact, the biggest shortcoming of the Lakers today is not the players on the court, but Redick on the coaching bench. In this game against the top ten head coaches in history, Redick lost completely. What makes Lakers fans feel even more lucky is that such an outstanding head coach still has to be there. The Lakers have stayed with the Lakers for several seasons.

The Lakers have followed the same pattern in the past few seasons. During the offseason, they searched for a few former All-Star players in the free market. Players with obvious shortcomings in the team reported that they worked hard on shooting/defense/organization in the offseason. The core players of the team expressed their confidence in the new season. The coaching staff came forward to express that the team has a better understanding. Finally, Pelinka or Aunt Jenny came forward to give chicken soup and cheer up the fans. As a result, after a few games, it was discovered that the team had not changed at all, and internal strife began, and then it was aimed at the play-offs. Finally, the core players were injured and they were hurriedly eliminated from the playoffs.

If my prediction is correct, the Lakers may have Doncic absent due to injury in 5 games, or there may be news of internal discord within the team or Redick blaming the blame. Please look forward to it!
