A good signal? The Lakers backcourt general dares to take more responsibility on the offensive end in the preseason?

1:51pm, 7 October 2025【Basketball】

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Golden State Warriors, who played at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-103. After this game, the Warriors got a good start in the preseason; while the Lakers suffered two consecutive losses in the preseason, and two miserable losses.

Although the Lakers lost the game, the team's starting point guard Gabe Vincent's performance is still quite reliable. Vincent played 19 minutes in the game, made 4 of 9 shots, 3 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored the team's highest score of 16 points and 5 assists, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -17. Vincent also showed his ability in outside shooting on the offensive end. He also seized the opportunity and got a lot of points, and he could also play a certain effect in passing and organizing offense. Vincent's performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition, and he has proved that he has good defensive ability. Overall, Vincent has shown his own characteristics in both offense and defense in this game, but the performance of stealing several other starters is generally average. Vincent's efforts did not receive any rewards, and the team still suffered a crushing defeat.

In the NBA regular season last season, Vincent made a total of 72 appearances in 82 games, averaging 21.2 minutes per game, averaging 6.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 40% from the field, 35.3% from three-point shooting percentage and 71.4% from free throws. In the playoffs, Vincent made a total of 5 appearances, averaging 19.8 minutes per game, with averaging 2.8 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0.2 steals and 0.4 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 35.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%. Vincent did not play in the previous preseason in which the team lost to the Phoenix Suns, and this game was also his debut in the preseason this season.

Vincent's overall performance last season was actually not very satisfactory. His performance during the regular season was average, and he showed good personal defensive ability, but his stability on the offensive end was indeed a little worse, his offensive efficiency was not ideal, and his performance outside the three-point line was not very outstanding. In the playoffs, Vincent's performance on the offensive end further declined, and his presence on the court was also seriously insufficient. Considering that Vincent is receiving a salary of tens of millions, he can only produce such data and performance, which is quite different from everyone's expectations for him. However, this preseason game is actually a good signal, and it seems that Vincent dares to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. I don’t know if Vincent can maintain this state in the next game and perform at a higher level after the team’s core players return to the team.
