NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 123-115. In this game, the Lakers were almost in a state of full strength, and most of the players performed very well. As for the two players on the bench, Browne and Smith both proved their worth.

Brownie is indeed the focus of these two games. In the last game, he appeared at the critical moment with his defense and completed his task. In today's game, he showed off his linking ability again, sending 6 assists in the whole game. This performance is perfect enough. Especially when he came on in the final quarter, he still didn't have any stage fright and was still able to activate his teammates. Coupled with the fact that he can also score three points, he is constantly changing.

Judging from the current performance, he will gradually stabilize his rotation position. Because he has better choices on the defensive end and will not foul easily. And after the confrontation improves, the stability of holding the ball also becomes stronger. As long as Bronny ensures his defense and organization in the future, he will still have playing time in the transition period.

Smith also became the team's most eye-catching point. Because he has never exploded on the offensive end before, in this game Smith scored 25 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 2 steals. The whole game not only showed explosive scoring, but also showed excellent organizational skills. In addition, the defense can also help, and he can score consecutively at the last moment to help the team expand to double digits. This kind of scoring is really explosive, and it is also the key to the Lakers' victory.

Of course, fans are thinking that he is a crazy knife. Let's see how Smith performs in the next game. If both Doncic and Rivers can play, giving him open opportunities, and now that he is confident in playing, he will hopefully continue to run wild. However, his ball holding is still a bit unstable. If this aspect continues to be strengthened, his performance on the court will definitely be improved.
