The Lakers came to an abrupt end at the moment of being eliminated in the first round, and Reeves' performance, like a microcosm of this season, was full of dramatic ups and downs.

In the regular season, Reeves was definitely a surprise discovery for the Lakers. He averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals per game, and 37.7% from three-point shooting percentage. He injected vitality into the team with his outstanding performance, and also allowed fans to see the potential and hope of the Lakers.

20 days ago, he also boasted that the Lakers were determined to win the championship. This confidence and ambition ignited the enthusiasm of the fans and made everyone look forward to the future of the Lakers.

However, the playoff stage witnessed Reeves' unexpected Waterloo. On the offensive end, he frequently made a shot, lost his sight, and missed his shots outside the three-point line, unable to provide the team with stable firepower support. On the defensive end, he frequently misses people, becoming the weakness of his opponents.

In the key G5 game, he played for 40 minutes and 40 seconds, made only 5 of 14 shots, 2 of 10 three-pointers, scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but made 6 turnovers, with a positive and negative value of -9. This performance is completely different from the regular season and disappointed the fans.

Reeves' performance has aroused heated discussions among many fans. Some people think that he is just inexperienced and has not found a rhythm in the high-intensity playoffs; others think that he may be overrated and will find it difficult to assume the heavy responsibility of the playoffs.

After the game, he was interviewed: I will practice hard during the offseason to improve my strength, and I will prove myself in the playoffs next season.
