In the NBA preseason, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 126-116. After the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick was interviewed.
Talking about the changes in Reeves' playing style in the new season, he said: "At present, some changes can be seen in the game, and it is even more obvious in training. For example, in yesterday's intra-team match, he had many outstanding performances in breaking through with the ball - maybe it was because of our poor defensive performance, but the opponent really couldn't restrict him at all. , He can basically move around the court as he wants. This may be related to the fact that I adjusted his training schedule on Thursday: I asked him to participate in simulated actual combat training. Before the game, I told him that each training event only needs to participate in two actual combat rounds, and then he can rest, so he also got a rest in tonight's game. , his explosive power is still online. "
" And he plays very dexterously and is especially good at drawing fouls - as long as you reach out to interfere, he can get up and complete the action and draw a foul. I used to be teammates with Jamal Crawford, and Crawford is great at this. Now Austin is constantly exploring these little tricks to get the chance to get to the free throw line. He was already good at drawing fouls, and now his ability in this area continues to improve. "
In this campaign, Reeves played 22 minutes, making 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 5 turnovers.
