December 30 news, the Los Angeles Lakers away to the Memphis Grizzlies, once again changed their starting lineup.
The Lakers' starting five players for that game are Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, LeBron James and Warcraft Howard. The biggest change in this starting lineup from the last game against the Houston Rockets was that James changed from a starting center to a starting big forward, with Howard serving as the team's starting center.
Before the game, Lakers acting coach Fitzdale said that the Grizzlies are in a different situation than the Rockets, although he will still maintain the use of small lineups, but at some point will also use one or two big players.
So far this season, the Lakers have used 19 different starting lineups, and the reason why the starting lineup changes so frequently is that they want to find a most suitable starting lineup for the team, and on the other hand, because the team continues to encounter injuries and other problems, resulting in having to adjust the starting lineup.
In yesterday's game, James was sent to the starting center position for the first time in his career, and such a change of formation also injected a lot of vitality into the Lakers, and the space on the court and the rotation became smooth, especially Munch's performance, his true shooting rate when James was on the court was as high as 63.3%.
