The presence on the offensive end is not high, and the ability on the defensive end is limited. The state of the Lakers forward generals is worrying.

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at home 119-109. After this game, the Warriors faced their old rivals and got a good start to the new regular season, while the Lakers suffered their first loss of the new season, and the team's competitiveness in the game was also very worrying.

In this game, the performance of the Lakers' starting striker Rui Hachimura was not ideal. Hachimura played 35 minutes and 24 seconds, shooting 3 of 6 from the field and 3 of 6 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -6. Hachimura actually performed well on the offensive end. His number of shots was very limited, but he still showed good shooting ability and scored some points. In addition, he also showed certain passing ability and coordination ability. Of course, Hachimura's performance on the defensive end was a mess, and his defensive contribution was seriously insufficient. Not only was his defensive ability poor, but he also had obvious problems with his defensive concentration, which also led to his unsatisfactory results on the defensive end. In the absence of LeBron James, Hachimura was unable to achieve the desired effect. It is completely understandable that the team was not competitive enough and ultimately lost the game.

In the NBA regular season last season, Hachimura was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 59 times. His average playing time reached 31.8 minutes per game, and his average data per game was 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. The shooting percentage was 49.2%, the three-point shooting percentage was 40.9%, and the free throw percentage was 77.5%. In the playoffs, Hachimura played a total of 5 times, averaging 36.4 minutes per game. He averaged 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 49.1% from the field, 48.4% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. In the previous preseason games, Hachimura played a total of 5 times, averaging 26.2 minutes per game. He averaged 13.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 48.1% from the field, 45% from the three-point range, and 63.6% from the free throw line.

Hachimura performed very well in the NBA regular season last season and during the previous preseason. He is a very good scorer and shooter. His contribution on the offensive end is also quite outstanding. He is also a player with relatively stable overall performance in the team's lineup. As a result, in this game, when the team needed him to step forward, his presence dropped significantly. He also had various problems on the court, which really made people feel speechless. With LeBron unable to come back quickly, if Hachimura cannot regain his level, the Lakers will also be in big trouble in the next games.
