On December 29, Beijing time, the Lakers finally won a victory at the home of the Rockets after 5 consecutive defeats, and this victory was also a long-suppressed catharsis for the Lakers.
This game Lakers also ushered in a new change, the most prominent change is the three points, it is precisely because of these three points of change that laid the foundation for the Lakers to win. First of all, it is the Lakers who have sacrificed a new starting lineup, this time the starting lineup is James, Westbrook, Munch, Bradley, Stanley Johnson, this time it can be found that Tucker fell out of the starting lineup, which is the most critical change.
Horton Tucker did not play well in the previous game, putting Horton Tucker in the starting position, the offensive ability is obviously insufficient, and the defensive end is full of loopholes, which will make the Lakers' entire defense line have huge loopholes. Compared to the performances of Munch and Bradley, Tucker is really a big failure, and the replacement lineup that put Horton Tucker this time is a big change for the Lakers and paves the way for winning.
Secondly, this game James was pushed to the No. 5 position, James played center is also very set, in the rebounding card position, secondary offense, defense is not behind, the Rockets Wood is obviously not James's opponent. James, a center, is extremely efficient, and in 40 minutes of playing time, he has exploded a triple-double statistic of 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, with a plus-minus of +6, becoming a practitioner of the Lakers' lineup transformation.
And in this game, the other two major centers Jordan Jr. and Howard did not get the opportunity to play, and James played well in the center position, which was much more efficient than Jordan Jr. and Howard. In the end, the new coach Fitzdale chose an 8-man rotation lineup, did not give other players a chance to play, and relied on the play of 8 people to win the game.
In addition to James, Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, Stanley Johnson and the five starters, only Anthony, Horton Tucker and Collison were given the opportunity to play in the bench, but Anton, who was present on the bench, played exceptionally well and became a key point for the Lakers to win.
It was these three changes that laid the foundation for the Lakers to win, James also played quite well in the center position, and the 8-man rotation showed good steel to use on the blade.
What do you think is the key point for the Lakers to win?
