Lakers 118-104 Pelicans have 2 happy moments and 2 sad moments! Doncic has changed, Ayton is dominant, and the bench is unwatchable

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 118-104. The Lakers played relatively easily in this game. After widening the point difference in the first three quarters, they managed the game in the final quarter and finally won the victory. After the game, the Lakers had two joys and two worries.

Doncic has changed in this game. One is his emotion. He did not lose control when he was double-teamed continuously and felt bad. On the other hand, Doncic does not play in singles without thinking. He can play the ball very quickly when he is double-teamed. This can activate his teammates and create opportunities for them. This is a happy point. If Doncic can maintain this style of play, it will still be of great help to the team.

Ayton's performance is also exciting. After Doncic released the ball today, he was the biggest beneficiary. He was very efficient in eating the pie, which can ensure his scoring ability on the offensive end. As the offensive end was opened up, Ayton's rebounding and defensive enthusiasm were all mobilized. In fact, as long as Ayton's status improves, 20+15 will be commonplace for him, which is something the team must pay attention to.

Smart still has too much ball rights. His three-point shooting rate is not good to begin with. In this game, there were wasteful shots and then grabbing the ball. This kind of performance really shouldn't be done. Of course, he is already at full strength on the defensive end, and he still needs to take fewer shots on the offensive end. Especially today, 15 shots were too many, and we ended up scoring 6 goals. After experiencing this failure, he should just focus on defense and just make open shots on the offensive end.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to look forward to from the substitute's performance. Knecht's performance this season has collapsed except in garbage time. Hayes can only take advantage of the cake and cannot fight. Van Der Biao has also suffered consecutive collapses since the beginning of this season, and it is difficult for him to live up to expectations. These three people lost points consecutively after coming on the field. You can watch Laravia today, but whether he can regain his previous form is still unknown. After all, his ups and downs are too great, and his strength cannot guarantee his performance.
