Redick: We can not only adhere to established defensive principles but also have the ability to adapt on the spot

Basketball

In the NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 128-110. After the game, Lakers coach Redick accepted an interview with the media.

Talking about Doncic's performance, Redick said: "He controlled the whole game very well. I mean, the team needs his firepower support, and early scoring is crucial for us. The opponent's shooting was hot, and we made some mistakes on the defensive end.

"We redeployed our tactics during the timeout, just like we did against the Warriors a few days ago, we temporarily adjusted our defensive strategy. After enough training and running-in, we were able to adhere to the established defensive principles and also have the ability to adapt on the spot. Then we began to successfully contain our opponents, and they adopted pincer tactics.

"He showed his willingness to pass the ball early. Although the opponent deliberately targeted him in the early stage, he responded strongly. From the middle of the first quarter, his defensive performance was very good, not to mention that the point guard grabbed 11 rebounds, which was simply outstanding.

"Today he played a comprehensive performance. After the last game, we focused on the third quarter, but today this part has completely changed. "

In this campaign, Doncic played 34 minutes and 54 seconds, making 14 of 23 shots, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 16 of 19 free throws, and scored 49 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
