Beijing time on July 16th, the NBA Summer League continued, and the Lakers made their debut again. They failed to win in the California Classic and the Summer League opener in Las Vegas, and have suffered four consecutive losses. However, the situation of the Lakers did not get any better in this game. The whole game was completely suppressed by Celtics . finally lost 74-88 to . suffered a five-game losing streak in Summer League. It can be said that a victory is hard to come by. !
Bronny performed very poorly in the previous games, but he still started in this game. In the first half, Bronny was very eager to prove himself, especially before this game, Bronny had not scored from beyond the three-point line. ball, so he also showed off his outside shooting many times. But what is very embarrassing is that Bronny missed two three-point shots in this game. Especially in the first half, when faced with no defense in the corner, he still shot a three-point shot. All Three three-point shots per game still failed to hit the target. So far in the summer league, Bronny has taken a total of 15 three-point shots from the outside and failed to hit any of them. Such shooting performance is bad enough.
Brownie's first score of this game was in the fourth quarter. He only scored 2 points in the whole game and did not have much presence on the offensive end. Bronny has played four summer league games, and it can already be seen that his ability is completely insufficient to cope with NBA games.
Cui Yongxi’s outstanding performance today is in sharp contrast to Brownie. Some foreign netizens even joked: Cui Yongxi’s performance is better than Brownie, Cui Yongxi is China’s Clay , although such praise is a bit exaggerated. But from a shooting perspective alone, Cui Yongxi is indeed better. Cui Yongxi hit two three-pointers in the limited playing time, while Brownie had no results from the outside.
Lakers head coach Redick said in an interview that Brownie is expected to become an excellent 3D player like Dort. I think Brownie can be like Dort. Although his presence on the offensive end is not very strong, he can continue to contribute energy on the defensive end.
However, Dort may not agree with this. You must know that Dort is also a player who can average double figures in points per game, and Dort's three-point level is not bad! After coming to Las Vegas, Brownie not only performed poorly on the offensive end, but his previously good defensive ability also declined. Limited by his lack of height, Bronny actually did not do well in switching defenses and assisting in defense. Bronny's plus-minus value in this game was -22, which is enough to show that when Bronny is on the court, the Lakers' offensive and defensive efficiency is very high. Oops.
However, his poor performance on the court did not affect Brownie's performance off the court. In the "Call of Duty" game organized by Summer League, Brownie defeated Hornets forward Grant Williams to win the championship and won 10,000 U.S. dollars and a customized championship belt. Judging from the video, Brownie was very happy after winning the game, and his performance on the field did not affect his mood. Even James posted photos of his son's championship on social media to celebrate. It is no exaggeration to say that Brownie has taken the lead in winning a championship in the new season!
However, many fans also ridiculed Brownie. believed that Brownie really chose the wrong career. He should not become a basketball player. If he was a game player, he might be even better..The Lakers have great expectations for Bronny in the new season, especially signing him with a multi-year guaranteed contract. If Bronny continues to perform so poorly, I wonder if the Lakers will regret sending out this contract offer! There isn't much time left for Bronny. One of the highlights now is probably that Bronny really can't hit that damn three-pointer in the summer league!
