The Lakers were eliminated and Doncic had all his money, but only two teammates performed well, and were all gangsters on the bench?

After returning to home, the Lakers are already in desperate situations. If they cannot defeat the Timberwolves, they will be eliminated by their opponents in the first round. However, from the game process, the Lakers seem to have less urgency. Although they once overtook the third quarter, they eventually lost their battle. As the third seed in the Western Conference, they were defeated by the Timberwolves.

Of course, when the Lakers were eliminated in the first round, Luca Doncic still gave all of it. He made 7 of 18 shots and scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Although Luca Doncic doesn't feel particularly good, he repeatedly caused fouls and got 15 free throws in the game. His overall performance is definitely not bad.

However, relying solely on Luca Doncic, it is too difficult for the Lakers to win. He has only two teammates around him and his performance on the field is considered qualified. LeBron James made 9 of 21 shots, scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. This performance may be done with others, but for LeBron James, it seems relatively average. But he is 40 years old after all, and you can't ask LeBron James to do more, no one can resist the passing of time.

Another surprise was Hachimura Hira. In this game, he made 9 of 16 shots and scored 23 points and 4 rebounds, which was definitely a super-level performance. After the Lakers' lineup was completed, Hachimura Shirak has been repeatedly caught up in rumors. The outside world believes that if the Lakers want to upgrade the lineup, Hachimura Shirak is definitely one of the bargaining chips, but during this year's playoffs, his performance completely exceeded expectations. However, Austin Reeves, who was originally the third leader, seemed a little lost in the playoff defensive intensity. In this game, he made 5 of 14 shots, scored only 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and made 6 mistakes. As for the upward swing and the No. 5 position of the small ball, Finney Smith left the field early after 6 fouls.

Not to mention that on the Lakers' bench, it can be said that they are all sluts. The Lakers used 8 players to rotate, but the three substitutes scored a total of 4 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Even Maxi Kleber, who just returned from injury, entered the Lakers' rotation lineup in this game, and he scored 2 points with only free throws. We all know that Maxi Kleber basically does not have rotation skills now, but the Lakers coaching staff still use him. In fact, it can be understood that most of the remaining players may not be as good as Maxi Kleber, or their condition is hard to describe, otherwise the Lakers coaching staff would not have arranged this way.
