After watching the so-called meeting of the Lakers coaching staff, it was really crying and laughing. Vogel finally counted on Ariza to play, and the key was that the assistant coach said that Ariza was still faltering. Is this the future of the Lakers?
If this video is true, that is, the Vogel coaching staff really thinks so, so meets, then the Lakers are definitely not far away, because this meeting can only reflect the stupidity of the coaching staff. We don't see from this meeting what's unique about NBA coaches, and sometimes they're just in that position.
Around the Lakers' problem, we will make an explanation, first of all, explain the problem of thick eyebrows feeling tired.
In fact, students who are familiar with the James system and the game can easily see the reason for the thick eyebrows. First, Davis is a collection of two structures in the James system.
We've talked a lot about the composition of the James system, with indiscriminate singles, shooter groups, and spatial big forwards. Thick eyebrows are essentially people who integrate the role of space big forwards and undifferentiated singles, because the Lakers did not bring leonard, and the configuration of the big three can only be supported by dual cores. Fortunately, thick eyebrows have the ability to single, in order to have the role of Irving and Wade before, otherwise the Lakers or James still need to find a composition in this function.
So from the offensive point of view, it can be known that thick eyebrows undertake conventional offensive, key offensive, long-range and secondary offensive tasks, and in fact he also plays these functions. From a functional point of view, thick eyebrows are passive in tactics, taking on James's assigned tasks. He could have been a carefree constructor, like Bosh and Love, but as James got older and his influence on the field declined, Thick Brow had to become a man who was almost as important as James in offense.
In addition to assuming the multiple structures of the James system, he also directly divided many of the offensive components that belonged to James himself.
Have you ever heard james and others say in terms of importance? Zhan Wei and Zhan Ou are a kind of name, but they are not equal, and the Lakers' Zhan Mei is more of an equal combination, all because of the change of potential energy on the James field. The conclusion is that Davis' structural and actual weight in the Lakers' offensive level has often surpassed James. In such a situation, Davis is still a supporting role.
Davis took on more in defense.
In the first two years, some people said that the Lakers have a defensive system, and Vogel was also appreciated by everyone, but the process of the Lakers this season tells us that the defensive system in the first two years was just Davis's rush.
The Lakers have Pope, Caruso and others on the outside line with a mid-to-mid-upper follower defense, forming an oppression on the ball carrier, but this is not a defense that can change the game situation. The defense that is really enough to change the situation of the game is Davis's east and west. Because of the constant appearance of this format, the Lakers heard too many fans calling for Howard to return last season. These are enough to illustrate the level of dedication davis has.
But when it comes to people, Davis' contributions on both the offensive and defensive ends are almost recorded in someone else's name. Offensive contributions are recorded in James' name, while defensive contributions are recorded in Vogel's name, and Davis' contributions are mentioned, but he is almost never put first.
In the offseason, Davis was named "Lakers Future" and "Home Star" and other titles, but in essence, he was a senior migrant worker who could not even decide which position he played. To say that James's best teammates should be counted as the heat batch, after which James more or less experienced the embarrassment of teammates not cooperating. Irving's departure and Davis's decline are actually more or less related to the psychology of "non-cooperation".
To say that with james's majestic power, being followed and attached to people is also regarded as the right thing, but there are always people in the world who are more willing to highlight their role, is this not the same concept as James? Why is it that the psychological obstacle of seeing thick eyebrows is greater than the actual decline? Just look at how many other reinforcements he has.
He has very little defense under the basket, and the defense near the three-point line is just a gesture of raising his hand.
Speaking of which, many people have seen clearly that the real contradiction of the Lakers is the contradiction between James's declining strength and the urgency to win the championship; the contradiction between the power structure that cannot be transitioned and the redesign of the lineup system.
When James was still a good ball-handling attacker, Howard was basically useless, Westbrook could only do half of it, the most powerful people were those shooters, and the thick eyebrows were naturally still hard-working. When James's form is reduced and he is no longer a good ball-carrying attacker, the Lakers need to adjust the James system and play another instant and efficient way of playing, not necessarily a system, but to have a strong point.
Obviously, when James is not in good shape or simply does not play, the Lakers' advantage can only be the immediate and effective tactics derived by Westbrook and Davis. The problem here is that James' state is volatile, and it is destined to fluctuate.
James has been in very good form in the last two games, but the Lakers' opponents are too weak teams, and there are large amounts of time of offensive failure. Once facing a fast and accurate team, James's physical problems will definitely occur, and because the Lakers still fail to transition to an offensive system centered on Westbrook and Davis, James is forced to play again, which is equivalent to cocooning himself.
That is to say, as long as James plays well and does not give up power, the situation that he takes on more tasks will continue to intensify, and eventually form a vicious circle. Davis is naturally within this cycle, as are Westbrook and Howard, and only the shooters are unaffected.
James's fans naturally want James to continue the state of his youth, and the rational way is to delegate power to teammates and let them enhance their sense of participation. In the twilight of superstars, almost always encounter the same problem, and eventually there will always be a victim between the team and the stars.
With the Lakers' current staffing, it is regrettable that the team sacrificed the final result, and only James's proper decentralization is the long-term way. Unfortunately, James will not become Carter, as long as he is in, others are supporting roles, and the "sense of non-cooperation" can only be filled by his own superb play.
If James can continue to play magic, it is his teammates who are embarrassed and ridiculed, and once he cannot continue to play magic, his situation will be difficult and the goal will become a luxury.
