It s okay for the Lakers to win a small victory, and there are four gains from winning. One person can be reused, and new play styles can be developed.

The game between the Lakers and Timberwolves can be said to be very lively, and the plot of the game is like riding a roller coaster. Everyone has seen the final result. The Lakers won the game. This was the second win for the Lakers this season against the Timberwolves. In addition, in this game, in addition to winning, the Lakers also gained a lot. The Lakers can win a small victory, and there are 4 gains from winning. One person can be reused, and new play styles can be developed.

For the Lakers, a small victory is actually possible. In the end, the result is good, so what other gains are there? The first gain is that Knect can be reused. Knecter has been confused most of the time since his trade was returned last season, and this is still the case in the first few games of this season. However, Redick still chose to believe in Knecht in this game, and the young man's confidence returned. He made 7 goals in 12 shots and scored 15 points and 2 blocks.

The second gain is that Reeves has evolved again. There is no James and no Doncic, but the Lakers have Reeves. In fact, this is also a critical stage that tests Reeves' ability to lead the team. Reeves lived up to his trust and evolved again. The Timberwolves' very targeted defense made it difficult for Reeves to score for some time, but Reeves hit the winning goal. More importantly, Reeves also had 16 assists, which directly revitalized the team's offense.

The third harvest, Ayton is confirmed to be a growth point. For the Lakers, whether they can make a breakthrough this season actually depends on the performance of these new players. Ayton still performed well in this game, scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds. He was quite decisive on the offensive end and had 3 assists. Ayton has now become the team's growth point, there is no doubt about it. As long as Ayton maintains this state, a big contract will not be far away after the season.

The fourth gain is the development of new playing methods. In the absence of the main force, the Lakers need to develop a new style of play. Redick has also done this, and the new style of play has been verified. In fact, looking at the Lakers playing now, it is not so-called singles, but a lot of coordination and tactics. Taking this game as an example, the Lakers' offense is obviously better than that of the Timberwolves, otherwise they would not be leading by 20 points at most. However, it should be noted that you cannot relax after taking the lead.

In general, the Lakers winning this game will also allow Doncic, James and others to recover from their injuries. The Timberwolves are the Lakers' direct competitors in the playoffs. They defeated them twice at the beginning of the season, which is helpful for ranking at the end of the season. After all, sometimes the head-to-head record can determine who is ahead and who is behind. Another thing to say is that if the Lakers want to keep Reeves, they have to give him a big contract. Reeves is actually getting better and better as he plays.
