Today, the Lakers went to the road to challenge the Mavericks, and finally lost to the Mavericks, and won a big defeat, the score was finally fixed at 97:118, and the opposite side scored 118 points without Doncic and Irving, and it was obvious that the Lakers contributed another poor defense.

Today, many fans are a little dissatisfied with Redick's employment, because there are good players Redick is not useful, but uses some unworkable. For example, Vincent played 24 minutes on the court today, 0 of 4 was unsuccessful, and he couldn't defend himself on the defensive end and couldn't shoot on the offensive end. Many fans wondered why Redick didn't use Milton, because Milton's three-point shooting ability was something Vincent didn't have, and he was a taller player who was no worse defensively than Vincent.

Milton was so excited when he joined the Lakers from the Nets that he wanted to make a difference, but he was abandoned by Redick after only four games, which really shouldn't have been. Many fans have always thought that Milton is much better than Vincent, and a large sample can tell a lot of questions, Milton has shot as much as 39% from three-point range in the Nets this season, at least he can shoot three-pointers when he stands on the court, and Redick overestimates Vincent's defensive ability. Although Vincent fought the defensive end, it was actually in vain, and the real effect was very poor, and the height disadvantage could not be reversed. So Reddick needs to carefully plan how to use people. Milton must have guaranteed playing time.

Although Vincent has played a few good performances this season, but the large sample is too bad, and players like this may have been abandoned in other teams a long time ago, and now that there is a new replacement Milton, Redick should resolutely adjust the rotation, and Milton has performed well in the first few games in limited playing time.

The other thing is that the Lakers' defense has really become a stumbling block for them to win. Especially when it comes to defensive communication. They are constantly changing their tactics on the defensive end and not adopting a defensive style, which makes the players often miscommunicate on the defensive end of the court. Redick is still an offensive coach after all, and he really isn't particularly good at defensive set-ups. Maybe James will act as a defensive coach on the court next, reminding his teammates how to put themselves on the court to defend, so that the Lakers' defense will not be slack. But in general, the Lakers have two fatal defensive weaknesses that cannot be solved, and that is the individual defensive ability of Reaves and Knecht, which were targeted too clearly today.
