The Lakes did not impress with anything special after the restart of the season, although Frank Vogel’s guys knew perfectly well that they would go to the playoffs from the first place, where the most interesting began. The Lakers had to play five rounds in the first round of the playoffs to replace Portland, which simply lacked the strength and Damian Lillard and company could still have struggled. Of course, attacking monsters like LeBron James and Anthony Davis are extremely difficult to act against, especially when they are in great shape. The Los Angeles team understands that they are not the easiest opponent and will not be able to play half their strength against Houston, so you need to get ready for a real fight.
The Poles also rebuilt their games before the qualification for Euro 2020 after they failed the World Cup in Russia and calmly qualified for the tournament, which was postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus. The team was headed by Brzeczek, in which the national team played from a position of strength, but this is not surprising, because in the attack there are such people as Milik, Lewandowski, Pentek, Zielinski. And even if the Poles have never been reliable in defense, they should definitely be feared in attack. On their goal with such a line of attack and leapfrog with the coaches from the opponent, they must play enough.
