The Big Three of the Lakers scored 99 points, but the biggest hidden danger was exposed! The starting bench is seriously unbalanced, Hachimura should come off the bench

In the group stage of the NBA Cup, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 135-118. In this game, the Lakers still played very lethally. They took away the game in the final quarter and finally won the victory. However, the hidden dangers of the bench in this game are still very obvious, because Doncic, Rivers and James scored 99 points. Looking at other players, the output given is still too little. And according to the past period of time, basically the Big Three won the game. Once one of the three of them is in poor condition, it will have a huge impact on the team.

After all, there are still too few players who can play on the bench. Of course, Smart and Vincent made great contributions on the defensive end today, and they became the focus players. Unfortunately, they are all players with strong defense and weak scoring. Plus Laravia, he is just a role player. In addition, Kleber cannot maintain his excellent scoring explosiveness, and they still lack a best sixth man.

At this time, everyone is focusing on Hachimura, because his defense in the starting lineup was still too bad. Just like today, as long as he plays, he will cause the team to be at a disadvantage. Except for the final quarter, he will lose points every other time after he plays. Because he didn't have any aggression on the defensive end, he was continuously called out.

More importantly, James and Hachimura are both undefensive players. As long as they appear on the court together, the outside line will definitely become a drawback. These two points must be separated, and then Smart or Laravia can be used to make up for Hachimura's disadvantage.

But I am afraid that Hachimura will fail after he comes on the bench. After all, no one on the bench gave him space to contain him, and the defense was not good. If Rui Hachimura comes on the bench to ensure scoring stability, this will be the result the Lakers want to see most. If the Lakers want to achieve good results in the future, the scoring problem of the substitutes is a problem they must solve.
