Lakers beat Jazz, 3 happy and 1 sad!

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 140-125. Although the Lakers were sluggish in the first quarter, they were close to 5 points in the second quarter. In the third quarter, they maintained a comprehensive rampage. In the end, they took away the game. They maintained a big lead in the final quarter and finally completed the victory. After the game, the Lakers had three joys and one sorrow.

Doncic's current role has been very solidified, that is, his ability to score with the ball is very strong, and he should be the first player in the team. Especially in the third quarter, he relied on his personal ability to help the team widen the point difference. Doncic could also simply organize it. And when James left, Doncic was able to lead the team to an advantage. As long as he maintains such offensive lethality, it will be the greatest guarantee for the Lakers.

James's current role is still very obvious. It was impossible for him to maintain a strong offense throughout the game. He did show his three-point and breakthrough abilities in the first half, but in the second half, James' series contribution was very significant. He can activate every player. Whether it is a three-pointer from the outside or a cut at the basket, James can help his teammates perform. James sent 12 assists in the game. He can sublimate the team's thickness. This is an exciting performance.

Under this trend, Laravia has been revitalized. You have to know that when Doncic leads the team, he can't see Laravia making air cuts. However, driven by James, Laravia was able to perfectly control both air cuts and three-pointers. He scored 16 points on 6-of-10 shots, his best performance in recent times. If his point recovers, it will be good news for the substitutes. He is still a good ball-holding point.

Unfortunately, Rui Hachimura still has to be substituted. His performance on the offensive end this season is indeed good, but his performance on the defensive end is very poor. As long as Hachimura is on the court, the defensive end will inevitably collapse. Especially when the offensive end is sluggish, this collapse becomes more concrete. So it is still possible to adjust this point, otherwise the damage to the team will be too great.
