The LA Lakers have made significant progress lately, especially after the arrival of Luka Dončić. The club, which was in a serious crisis some time ago, has now found a real leader, and the Slovenian was obviously the best option for the club. They needed a superstar who would turn the season in their direction, and Dončić is exactly that.
The arrival of this great basketball player led to major changes in the team. The season of the Los Angeles Lakers is completely different now, and the public is excited about the arrival of one of the best young talents in the world.
Coach JJ Redick set a clear goal: to match Dončić with LeBron James, which is not an easy task at all. Rumor has it that JJ Redick sometimes doesn't sleep for days, trying to find the best way to optimize his team's game, which has proven to be the key to success.
A winning strategy
After the big win against Denver, where the Lakers beat Nikola Jokić, it became clear that Redick found a way to stop one of the best players in the world. Jokić is unstoppable for many, but it seems that this coach managed to stop him.
In the match against Denver, Jokić scored only 12 points, with only seven attempts. This is a result that few can achieve, because Jokić is a player that many consider one of the best in the NBA.
Although this was only one match, it turned out that the Lakers might have a chance to seriously threaten Jokić and his team. In addition, JJ Redick managed to find a role for Dončić, who was amazing in that match against Denver, scoring as many as 32 points. This performance could only be a prelude to much better Lakers performances in the future.
Now it remains to be seen if this was just luck in one game or if the Lakers will really manage to seriously threaten Jokić in the future. As a reminder, in previous seasons, Jokić often caused big problems for the Lakers in the playoffs, but now, with the new coach, things could be different.
