Don t believe Ayton, he is still the same Dunbao! Be the cornerstone of the Lakers defense? He doesn t even want to touch Post

In the third preseason game, Ayton finally broke out. He made 6 of 8, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. This is an all-around center that combines offense and defense. The Lakers got a big deal for 16.6 million in 2 years?

After the game, Ayton was a little confused: "I want to change everyone's view of my defense. I want the whole league to know that I am the cornerstone of the Lakers' defensive system."

This guy is bragging. This is just the preseason. Besides, his performance in the first two games was terrible, with 1 point, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks!

Fans who have watched the game carefully will find that the Warriors center opposite Ayton is only Post, the last-round pick, who moves slowly and has weak physical confrontation.

With such an opponent, Ayton is stunned to not dig into the paint area? It's true, Post, knowing that Ayton has internal mysophobia, why do you always retreat so far? This makes Ayton pretend!

So, Ayton is still the same Dunbao, averaging only 2 free throws in 3 games, so don’t expect too much!

However, there is one thing to say. Ayton's defensive awareness is indeed stronger than before. The screen is no longer a false screen, at least it delays the opponent's rhythm.

In addition, when we use the annual salary requirement of 8.3 million to measure Ayton, this price/performance ratio is definitely high!

Of course, Ayton is probably also under pressure. If he can't provide value with top ball-handlers like James and Doncic, he will probably have no ball to play next year.
