The Lakers were eliminated by themselves? Fans: Finally, I can get rid of it

In an NBA playoff game that just ended, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 96-103 at home, and were eliminated 1-4 with a big score, and the Timberwolves also completed their bottom line against the Lakers. This game also proves the value of the saying "one inch long and one inch stronger"!

Redick lined up the "Death Five Smalls" of James, Doncic, Ba Clair, Little Li and Smith at the beginning. This row of troops was criticized by many fans after the game. The purpose of your small lineup is to make three-pointers from the outside and maintain mobility. It is obvious that this lineup has not done so. Except for the eight-inch performance on the outside, everyone else was inaccurate, especially Reeves, who was known as the "strongest three-in-command", made only 2 of 10 three-pointers in the game and made 6 mistakes.

And after the Lakers did not have Hayes on the defensive end, the inside line became Gobert's world. He made 12 of 15 shots in the game and efficiently scored a large double-double of 27+24. You must know that Gobert averaged only 3.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in the first four games of the game.

I have to complain about Pelinka giving up the deal with Mawei. If there is a Mawei inside the series in this round, the Lakers would not be so passive. Moreover, Kneckett was completely abandoned by Redick in the playoffs, which is equivalent to the Lakers weakening themselves.

In addition, when Edwards felt bad on the outside, Randall stood up in time and scored 11 points in the last quarter, especially the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, which was like a few baskets hitting the land of no one, which also became the last straw to kill the Lakers. I have to say that Randall played well in the inside line without height. He relied on his strong body to push in, and his touch was also soft.

To be honest, this Lakers obviously do not match the intensity of the playoffs, and they can only rely on the two core members of James and Doncic. When they are in a bad state, the Lakers can only surrender, and the shortcomings in the inside are too obvious. Even if they pass the Timberwolves, they will have to be beaten up next, whether they are playing against the Rockets or the Warriors. Therefore, whether the Lakers are eliminated is a relief for themselves or fans.
