The Warriors lost to the Lakers, "the two stretched their hips, giving Kerr a headache"! But there are also "highlights"!

The NBA preseason continued, and the Warriors and Lakers played against each other for the second time. Many of the main players of the two teams were absent, but they still attracted the attention of fans. The Warriors lost 116:126 in an away game. Kuminga and Spencer's "crotch pull" became Cole's "trouble", but Podemski's performance was "eye-catching."

The Warriors got off to a slow start and allowed the Lakers to take the initiative at the beginning of the game. The half-time point difference was "double digits." In the third quarter, the Warriors started a "brave three crazy" rhythm. They played a powerful offense and once narrowed the point difference to 5 points. They still could not reverse the situation on the court. The initiative was in the hands of the Lakers. At the final whistle, the Warriors had no chance to reverse the 116:126 loss.

Kuminga started the game and played 23 minutes. He made 5 of 8 shots and scored 13 points, 6 assists, and 1 steal. The assists and shooting percentage looked okay. However, he made 5 turnovers in the game. His organizational ability was worrying, and the key offensive mistakes ended. He could not "share the ball" well. "I don't want to do any dirty work." When the ball was in his hands, he could not see effective teamwork. He liked to "play superstar ball" and only thought about offense and physical fitness. The quality is good enough, but the rebound protection is not good enough. Facing the Lakers, he did not get a rebound, the rebound placement was not accurate enough, and he was not active in grabbing the ball. This was also "complained by the fans." Kuminga, the offensive finishing efficiency is okay, but it is necessary to strengthen breakthroughs, effectively reduce mistakes, and control the rhythm of the game. With the current state, it is indeed difficult to "want to have a big contract as the core and control the ball." Kuminga, you must be accurate in positioning yourself, otherwise it is easy to suffer losses.

Spencer did not perform well in this game. He only made 3 of 12 shots. He had the lowest negative value on the team and poor defensive efficiency. His shooting was "forged" and was reused by Cole, but he used such "eye-catching state" to repay the coach. It really shouldn't be done and needs to be adjusted as soon as possible.

In the loss to the Lakers, Podemski's performance became the "highlight" of the game. In the game against the Pacers, due to poor defensive efficiency and poor offensive efficiency, Podemski was "sprayed" against the Lakers. Podemski made 10 of 16 shots and scored 23 points. 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, strong offense, good organization and series, timely defense steals, reasonable predictions, maintaining "efficient output" on both offense and defense, and controlling plant fouls very well, sweeping away the "gloom" of the previous game, the performance is worthy of praise.

Davis successfully limited the opponent's performance on defense. He scored 14 points on 7 of 9 shots, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. His offensive efficiency was stable. Payton Jr. scored in double figures and performed well.

In addition, Green's condition in this game was so bad that he only scored 2 points on offense, made 4 turnovers, failed to shoot when there was an open space, and his state fluctuated too much. There were many problems in the loss to the Lakers. Kuminga, Spencer, and Green's hip-stretching performance made Kerr "annoyed" that the Warriors started slowly and were "easy to dig holes" because of their lack of concentration in the game. Problems must also be solved. In the new season, the team has done a lot of recruiting and reinforcement. The main players are older and their physical fitness is facing challenges. There are "many hidden dangers" due to injuries. The status of young players has fluctuated and they cannot withstand key games. How to deal with related problems. The challenge for head coach Cole is severe. "If the team can't do well, it will be difficult to go far." Do the fans agree with the author's point of view?
