Bronny responds with 0 of 12 three-pointers! Admitting a slump and still making a decisive shot Redick praised the defensive performance

In three Summer League games, Bronny shot 6-of-26 from the field and shot just 23.1 percent, including 0-of-12 three-pointers. Speaking about his performance, Bronny said: "I just feel like I'm a bit sluggish right now. ”

In this game, Bronny was 4-of-13 and 0-of-8 from three-point range. "I'm going to watch the game footage and see what I've been doing and what I'm supposed to be focusing on. I've always been focused on playing as best I can, and no matter what open space I get, I'm going to shoot. ”

Speaking about what he wants to get out of the summer league, Bronny said: "I get better every time I play, especially when I'm playing with players who are bigger than me, and I need to find the roles I'm good at. As James's eldest son, Bronny has a lot of attention, and the media posted an interview comparison chart of James' rookie season, which is packed.

Regarding Bronny's current predicament, Lakers summer league coach Dane Johnson doesn't think it's a big deal.

"Oh my God, he's going to have a long career," Johnson said. "This is just the beginning. We just keep instilling (faith) in him and keeping it in mind. So, we still have a long way to go. ”

Johnson, who primarily coaches the South Bay Lakers, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Development League, said when asked if Bronny might play in the Development League next season, Johnson said, "I don't know yet, so I can't comment on that, but I think all of these guys are going to play in the Development League at some point."

The Rockets' Whitmore also played 13 games in the Development League in his rookie season, averaging 26.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.1 steals per game. It was the development league that allowed Whitmore to improve. In this summer league against the Lakers, Whitmore contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.

Bronny was 0-of-8 from three-point range, in stark contrast to Shepard's 4-of-6 three-pointers. Tanhuaxiu had 23 points and 5 assists. "I've known Reed [Shepard] since fifth grade," Bronny said, "I knew he was a shooter, so I just wanted to get close to his body and prevent those three-pointers. I tried to keep an eye on him all over the court and show the general manager and the coach how hard I was doing. ”

Redick and Pelinka sat on the sidelines. Redick praised the defensive performance of the Bronny Summer League so far.

"We want him to put pressure on the ball," Redick said, "and I told him yesterday 'If you get blown up, if you break 10 times, that's my responsibility. I'm just you putting pressure on each other. Previously, Redick also said that Bronny would be an important part of the Lakers' player development plan and that they would invest heavily in Bronny.

Although Bronny's performance was not good, the Lakers' No. 17 pick Knecht played better and better, and in this game, Knecht scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 three-pointers.
