The Lakers ushered in another regular season matchup with the Suns today, and the Lakers played away from home, and they lost to the Suns 105-109. Reeves and Davis had a very good performance in today's game, with both of them scoring 52 points combined. Davis recorded another big double-double of 29 points and 14 rebounds, while Reaves also had 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists, including 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line.

James had a sluggish game, scoring 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting and dished out eight assists. The Lakers' overall tactical play in the final moments of this game is still worth the attention of fans, that is, James played more of a supporting role today, and in the fourth quarter he did not personally carry the ball to attack to help the team win, and the point where the Lakers held the ball in the final quarter became Reaves.

The starting point of the Lakers' tactics in the last quarter of today was Reaves, and James silently pulled to the bottom corner positions on both sides, allowing Reaves and Davis to initiate a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and the effect was very good. James' personal form today is indeed not particularly good, and it may also be limited by physical strength, after all, the Lakers have been very busy in recent days. But through this game, we can also clearly see Redick's intentions, and it is clear that he is focusing on developing Reeves' offensive ability.

We've already seen in this game that James is getting a little old, and maybe in the next two to three years, James may choose to retire. After James retires, they have to find a stable outside starting point. As it stands, Redick's pick is Reeves. And judging from Redick's offseason expression, he already has great expectations for Reaves in the new season, and he has also focused on increasing his ball handling this season. In Redick's team-building thinking, there may be only two non-sales items for the Lakers in the future after James retires, that is, Reaves and Davis.

Reaves has been outstanding from beyond the three-point line this season. He averages three three-pointers per game and shoots 48 percent from the field, and this season he is averaging 19.2 points, seven rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. With Reaves taking over more and more offensive rounds in the future, even Reaves is expected to hit the Western All-Star this year. At 26 years old, Reeves looks more mature. When he and Davis form an excellent tacit understanding, even if James retires in the future, the Lakers will still be competitive. I wonder what the fans think?
