Today, the Lakers traveled to the road to challenge the Suns, and in the end they swallowed their first loss of the season, losing 105-109 to the Suns on the road. Davis still played a very strong performance in this game, scoring 29 points and 14 rebounds in the game. Reaves had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, but James had a terrible performance today. Played a game that was rare for fans. He finished with just 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting and dished out eight assists.

There is no doubt that James' performance today did not effectively help the Lakers, and even when we watched the whole game in its entirety, we thought that if James could play a little more normally, maybe the Lakers would have won the game early. Today, James tried to break through to the basket several times to no avail, and was blocked by the opponent many times. It can be seen that at this age, his efficiency of breaking through to the basket has indeed declined significantly.

The biggest embarrassment today was when Davis came off the court thinking that James would lead the team to maintain the team's score and even win more points. But what is unexpected is that this team Davis is obviously not able to get off the court, after Davis went off the court, James did not effectively maintain the score on the court, but the score was quickly chased by the Suns and even overtaken. Many James fans also sighed after watching this game, James is indeed a little old, and this game really saw the traces of time.

There is another aspect of the Lakers' adjustment today that is very important and worthy of the attention of fans. It was in the final moments that Reeves was at the heart of the attack. After the half-time offense, James handed the ball to Reaves and silently pulled it to the bottom corner, allowing Reaves and Davis to launch the pick-and-roll. In the past, the traditional "Zhan Mei block and dismantle" has now become "Li Mei block and dismantle". In fact, this game is also a sign, even a turning point, which means that Reaves' tactical position in the team has been significantly improved, and he even replaced James and officially became the outside core of the Lakers.

We hope James only has the occasional mismatch and doesn't want it to be the norm this season. The next most important thing for the Lakers is to establish an offensive system with Davis as the core. I have to admit that James really needs to reduce the number of shots and give up more power at this age. Having Reaves and Davis more of the protagonists of the team's tactical system could be the way the Lakers win in the future. According to Redick's coaching philosophy, as well as his coaching attitude, it cannot be ruled out that he dares to reduce James' offensive rounds. As it stands, Redick is a very personal manager. I wonder what the fans think?
