With their three great three, Lakers works on “Championship habits” against the warriors
The Lakers entered the training field with the hope of finally establishing the chemistry among the stars Luka Doncic, Lebron James and Austin Reaves. But the trio has yet to see the court together. Sunday, they all remained on the bench during the loss of 111-103 of the Lakers against the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center.
With Doncic (Rest) and James (Glute) already outside, Reaves was rested on Sunday after a first week already complete with a training field. The fifth year guard had the highest workload in the team that entered the first game of Preseason which took place after three days of practice. He scored 20 points against the Phoenix Suns as one of the few offensive bright points in the breakdown of Friday.

Without their best offensive directors, the Lakers obtained a ride from the guard Gabe Vincent, who made his debut gravy after breastfeeding a knee injury. He had 16 points and five assists while the Deandre Ayton center, which marked only one point in two shots in Friday’s game game, scored seven points, all in the first quarter, with seven rebounds.

After their first two games of Presetson, the Lakers have a week of rehearsal until their first game of Preseason at home against the Warriors on October 12th. Coach JJ Redick said that although Doncic was scheduled to rest for the first two games of Preseason after playing in Eurobasket with his national team, the Slovenian Superstar should still play officially officially on October 21. Laker players remained the Eurobasket players.
James remains to be seen, who has been retained by the first practices of the training field due to the irritation of the nerves in his buttock, will play in the preset. By entering an unprecedented NBA season, James has a slower increase program than in previous years, said Redick.

The Warriors adopted an equally cautious approach with their superstars who age like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler III and Horford were all limited to half. The 37 -year -old curry still scored 14 points in 15 minutes, draining five of the seven shots from the field and drawing strong applause from an almost full hunting center when he set up an acrobatic shot through contact and focused two finger guns in the ESPN basic camera.
Redicka called a challenge to obtain an adequate evaluation of his team in a 48 -minute game game when his first three stars are out, but after Friday’s Open Open on Friday, he was looking for a better organization in attack at the beginning of the clock, playing with the rhythm and more physicality.
“We have to be more physical to open,” Radick said before the game. “We must be more physical with our screening. This does not change according to those in training, so that we can build the habit.”
Announcement
The “Championship habits” are one of the three pillars that Reddick predicted incessantly during the training field, together with the communication of the championship and the shape of the championship. He said he would have judged the latter in part if the players are returning to defense.
The Lakers were exceeded 23-5 in transition Sunday and 42-11 through two pre-evening matches.
