The NBA regular season continues, and the Lakers lost 126-131 on the road to Denver. In the game, the Lakers rookie Knecht was outstanding, playing 36 minutes, 13 of 27 shooting, including 5 of 13 3-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, alone 32 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. After the game, he spoke to the media.
Kneeckert first thanked teammate Reaves for his help and support, saying: “Reaves has been my main mentor this season, he has given me a lot of encouragement and guidance, I am very grateful to him. With his help, I kept improving and was able to perform at my level in the game.”
Then he confirmed his condition, saying that his back was fine and that he planned to get a massage the next day to relax. Knecht attempted a two-handed dunk on a comeback with 52.1 seconds left in the quarter but failed to grasp the rim and landed flat, but was not hurt.
In addition, according to the statistics, with the outstanding performance of 32 points, 0 turnovers and 5 3s, Knecht became the first Lakers rookie since Kuzma to score more than 30 points. This achievement is undoubtedly a testament to his hard work and talent.
After the game, the Lakers are in fifth place with a 40-25 record, just 2.5 wins ahead of the Warriors for sixth place in the Western Conference, and Keckert and his teammates will continue to work hard to contribute to the future of the Lakers.
