27 points + 5 three-pointers! The Lakers’ new aid was awesome. James is very accurate in reading people. Netizen: This is Klay.

On October 30, the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves was the fifth game of the regular season. The two superstars of the Lakers had a truce. James has not played a game since the start of the game, and Doncic only played two games before being injured. Now Rivers is the single-core leader. You must know that Doncic + James averaged 52 points per game last season. These two can't play. Who will fill the Lakers' 52-point hole, so winning is very difficult. Of course, the Timberwolves also have stars who are absent. Edwards has a strained hamstring and cannot play, so he continues to be exempt from the game.

In this game, Rivers, the Lakers' third-leading figure, continues to explode. His recent performance is completely phenomenal, MVP level! In the first five games, Rivers scored 26 points, 25 points, 51 points, 41 points, and today's 28 points. In addition, he also sent 16 assists today, which is tied for the most in a single game this season. The other one is Trae Young. In addition, he also contributed a buzzer-beater today. He made a breakthrough throw at the last moment. The ball went in and the light came on. It was so burning.

Rivers performed at the MVP level, averaging 34.2 points, 10 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. He was fourth in the league in scoring and second in the league in assists. This performance really cannot be obtained for 90 million in 4 years. Next year, if he tries to sign a 5-year contract with 240 million, he does have a chance. In addition to Rivers' explosion, if the Lakers can win today, there is another surprise player who steps up. Without him, the Lakers cannot win today. He is the new shooter Laravia that the Lakers hired this summer. In today's game, Laravia suddenly broke out. He made 10 of 11 shots and 5 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. It was crazy.

27 points + 5 three-pointers! The Lakers' new aid is a hit. Lao Zhan is very accurate in reading people. Netizens: This is Klay! Many people don't know Laravia, but he actually has something to do with the Timberwolves. In the 2022 draft, the Timberwolves selected Laravia with the 19th overall pick in the first round and then sent him to the Grizzlies. Laravia averaged 3 points per game in his rookie season and 10.6 points per game in the second year. He was sent to the Kings in the middle of the third year and averaged 7.9 points per game. Last season, he shot 39.1% from three-point range. He is a good shooter. This summer, it is said that the Lakers consulted LeBron James and Doncic for their opinions on recruiting. LeBron James named Laravia, and Doncic named Smart.

Later, everyone knew that Laravia and Doncic had hired all the people they wanted. In the first four games, Laravia's performance was average. Many people were discussing whether Laravia had made a mistake. However, today, Laravia suddenly broke out and gave Lao Zhan a face. He was indeed very good at shooting. He made 5 of 6 three-pointers and was too accurate from the outside. If he hadn't made 2 of 5 free throws and missed 3 free throws, he could have scored 30 points today, which is a pity. Netizens lamented, this is not Laravia, this is Klay at his peak. Against DiVincenzo, he shot DiVine to the point of doubting his life, and hit 2+1 with a low-flying shot from old Conley. It was so exciting! So during the post-game interview, Rivers Jr. said with a high emotional intelligence, don't ask about my performance. Let's focus on Laravia, who made 10 of 11 shots today. Without him, we can't win tonight.
