also become a game that determines the outcome.
After experiencing “tepid” performance in the first ten games, Sun Hao finally ushered in an explosion.
This 40+ player doesn’t feel much about it. It can even be said that without 50+, the fans’ expectations for Sun Hao can no longer be met.
Of course, the fans enjoyed watching this game.
Sun Hao’s post-up play officially attracted attention in this game, and even Barkley’s phrase “Don’t mess with a newly married person” became the focus of heated discussion among fans after the game.
Of course, in addition to this, Walker’s performance is also hotly discussed by fans.
In the previous ten games, Walker averaged 13.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 37%.
But tonight against Duncan, he had his worst game of the season. He made 2 of 11 shots and only scored 7 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
This is future Draymond Green-like data, and it is expected that fans will complain about it.
But there are qualities about Walker that are intriguing.
After such a poor performance, he was definitely not in a good mood, but after the game, he still fulfilled his pre-game promise and took the whole team to a nightclub to pay the bill.
“Mr. Walker will pay for all the expenses tonight.”
After two days of rest, the Lakers continued to face the challenge of the Timberwolves at home.
The Timberwolves are no longer the team that was in contention two years ago.
“Madman” Sprewell announced his retirement, “Alien” Cassel’s contract expired and switched to the Los Angeles Clippers. In the blink of an eye, the former “Timberwolves three-headed monster” was left with only Garnett to guard Minnesota.
Garnett’s statistics are still very good, with a 50%+ shooting rate and 20+10+5 all-around statistics. Even Szczerbiak averaged 20+ per game for the first time in his career.
But the Timberwolves’ record is their worst in recent years.
In this game, the Lakers played easily and maintained a double-digit lead.
However, Walker’s performance continued to be sluggish. He made only 1 of 7 shots and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
This is really going further and further on the road to Greening.
And with the continuous downturn, the scope of discussion is not just among fans.
In the post-game press conference of this game, the reporter directly asked Phil Jackson this question.
“Is Antoine Walker not suitable for the current Lakers? Has the summer trade proven to be a failure? Is the team seeking to trade a power forward with better defense?” a
Los Angeles reporter asked. Never one to be soft-spoken, a set of three death combos.
This is also a characteristic of Los Angeles. As a celebrity, if you don’t pay attention, everything will be put under a magnifying glass.
Walker played so poorly in the last game and was not asked by reporters, largely because he can only be considered the third or even fourth leader of the team at best.
But playing so poorly in two consecutive games was
