Widely beaten for Game 1 against the Wolves, the Lakers will have to make the first adjustments for the rest of this series. Jaxson Hayes could have more minutes, he who was very limited.
The first match against the Wolves did not go as planned for the Lakers. The franchise was physically exceeded before half-time and has never managed to reverse the trend. This first round of the playoffs is obviously very far from over, but disappointment is real among supporters in Los Angeles.
It will take a reaction from Game 2 and JJ Redick will be scrutinized closely. The coach clearly did not make good choices in this first match, like the pivot position. Jaxson Hayes had planned to take care of Rudy Gobert And to help Luka Doncic, however, it is clear that the coach had other plans in mind on his side.
Rudy Gobert takes the best at Game 1
Even if Gobert did not weigh offensively, he spent more than 20 minutes on the prosecution and was precious defensively. Hayes? It is something else since he was satisfied with 8 minutes of play and by holder at the base. No injury or other for him, but simply a decision by Redick, who chose Small-Ball.
@LakeShowYo : “Jaxson Hayes was unplayable tonight. He couldn't take a rebound and Redick made him play only 8 minutes. »»
Hard return to reality for Hayes, even if the series has only just started at the moment. After all, was it not Redick who made a mistake on his side by snubbing his pivot? We will surely see it in Game 2 with possible changes.
Because for some, there is no doubt that Hayes could have succeeded in beautiful things if Redick had chosen to trust him. We do not yet know who has taken the advantage between him and Gobert, but the Game 2 will allow to know more. For supporters, it is in any case clear that the former Pelicans must have more minutes.
@yobopn : “He played only 8 minutes and that's the problem. He needs to play. »»
@_WokeFromWoke_ : “He made a good first quarter so it is not really his fault. He captured two rebounds in the first two minutes. »»
@mr_tonyparra : “JJ Redick is a little too attached to three -point shot. »»
Almost no Jaxson Hayes against the Wolves this Saturday evening, he who was not able to assume his words against Rudy Gobert. But we imagine that things will change by the end of this first round.
