Very scrutinized before the start of the series against Lakers, Rudy Gobert knows that he should not miss. The Frenchman will have an important role to play in this first round, and count on him to set the tone of play.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Can Wolves take the best on the Lakers in this first round of the playoffs? It is quite possible. With Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, Naz Reid and with a Divincenzo Donte, if he takes hot in shooting, the Angelinos know that you will have to be very careful. But among supporters, this is the case Rudy Gobert who is a lot talked about.<\/p>\n

It must be said that French has often been criticized in recent years. There remains a precious defender, but his offensive game has never really developed. However, he will have to give himself up against the Lakers, especially that apart from Jaxson Hayes, the men of JJ Redick have not many people to cover the racket. The opportunity for French to take advantage of it?<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert knows his role against Lakers<\/h2>\n

We ask to see, because the coach could also use Small-Ball to force French to squat the bench. But big players know how to adapt to any situation. So in Minnesota, no question of considering the idea of \u200b\u200bputting Rudy on the bench to counter the Angelinos. Gobert is important for this team, especially when it comes to defending the circle.<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert's direct opponent to Lakers warns him: “not my priority”\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n

Mike Conley, in front of journalists, announces the color: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cRudy will have to be huge in this series and I think he knows it perfectly. I think he has prepared for this in recent months. He really worked to find himself in good physical shape. He seemed to be fit in the last weeks of the regular season and we know that we will often need him. Whether it is for Dunker, in post or under the basket, or as a threat to lobs. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And faced with such an opponent, diminished in the racket, it is clear that Gobert will be important to try to take the best in such a series. And we reassure Conley, yes, Rudy is perfectly aware of what he will have to achieve in this first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

As he tells journalists, he wants to force the Lakers to adapt to him and not the opposite. The tone is set for French.<\/p>\n

\n

Rudy Gobert :<\/strong> \u201cThe goal of the game, especially in playoffs, is to force the opposing team to adapt to you, and not the opposite. I am concerned with the idea of \u200b\u200bsettling the tone for my team, being myself and letting the game do the rest. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rudy Gobert knows the importance he will have in the next games, he who may be the difference between a Wolves victory or a defeat. And given his CV and his eyes scrutinized on him, he will not really have the right to make mistakes now.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
