The Lakers reversed the Cavaliers, and four details confirmed that Vogel's "abandonment of 1 person" was the top priority

131-120, the Lakers beat the Cavaliers. The team trailed by 14 points 17-31 in the first quarter, and finally could be reversed, James 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, large triple-doubles, Westbrook 20 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists only 1 mistake to recover strongly, behind the excellent performance of the double core, Vogel's "abandonment of 1 person" is the key, we will analyze it in detail from four details.

James 38+11+12, Lakers reverse Warriors

In terms of the current state of the two teams, the Lakers are in the downwind, the Cavaliers have a greater chance of winning, so in the first quarter less than 2 minutes, they have led the Lakers by 14 points at 31-17, so how did the Lakers complete the "pit filling" little by little and finally reverse?

First, Augustine broke out.

17-31 behind, Augustine three points, Wei Shao assisted Munch dunk, Munch made two fouls after Augustine made a layup, Wei Shao re-made two fouls, the Lakers a wave of 11-4 chased to 28-35; the second quarter again, James free throw, Wei Shao three points, James 2 + 1, empty basket, counterattack, personal 9 points in a row, the Lakers 46-45 rebound; cavaliers 54-51 and then rebounded, Augustin came on and blasted two three-pointers, the Lakers half-time 67-62 has taken the lead.

Westbrook assisted Augustine for three points

Throughout the first half of the game, Augustine's three-point shot of 5 of 5 exploded 17 points, which is the Lakers can surpass the Miracle Soldier, as for why he can break out strongly, there is a direct key with the two, let's first say the first, Westbrook!

Second, Vogel restores Westbrook's "dominance of the ball".

Attentive fans will find that since the beginning of the game against the Raptors, Westbrook's dominance of the ball is increasing, 10 assists against the Raptors, 8 assists against the Wizards, and today it is 11 assists, typical case:

Wei Shao assisted Gabriel 2+1

For example, in this attack, Wei Shao first cooperated with James, handed the ball to old Zhan and then cut himself, James faced the bag clip and then found Wei Shao, Wei Shao received the ball instantly the Cavaliers implemented the package clip twice, Wei Shao scored Gabriel in the bottom left corner, the Cavaliers could not complete the third round of conversion position defense, the latter 2 + 1.

What concept, Vogel to enhance Wei Shao's dominance of the ball, he still has the ability to make the Lakers this pot of rice delicious, after all, is the history of the triple double king, he has that ability, as for how Wei Shao regained the dominance of the ball? Like Augustins, it was thanks to Vogel's abandonment of one person, Horton Tucker.

Third, Vogel's abandonment of tucker's importance.

In this game, Tucker was suspended due to an ankle injury, which should actually be Vogel's statement that he DNP, and his absence from playing, the two advantages are:

1. No one competes with Wei Shao for possession anymore, which is one of the details of Wei Shao's straight-line recovery of Wei Shao's assist.

Westbrook assisted Augustine for three points, and Garland did not react at all

2. Tucker is Vogel's first rotation player if he plays, and he is suspended today, with Augustine as the first substitute in the defensive line, the effect: 7 of 7, including 6 of 6 three points and 20 points. Note that even if Westbrook and Augustin are on the same court, Vogel's use, Westbrook possession, Augustine full-time scoring, this is another proof that Westbrook regained the possession of the ball, reflected in the data side, Augustine 25.53 minutes in 25.53 minutes 0 assists!

Fourth, Vogel's last stanza "Odd Array".

Rarely, Vogel made an exquisite fine-tuning of this game, and the end of the game offered a strange formation: Gabriel, Stanley Johnson and James, the three "five positions" in the Lakers mini lineup, the first four minutes thought that this was Vogel's accidental work, but in the last five minutes, Vogel used Westbrook and Rivers to partner the above three people to the end, and had to be applauded by Vogel's impromptu fine-tuning, for the following reasons:

The Lakers defended in the last five minutes

The above five people can change defenses at any time, such as Stanley Johnson directly stealing Garland's sideline ball to layup; for example, in the bottom right corner, he and James pinch the steal, a more classic scene as shown above: Johnson blocked the Maubury attack basket route with his weight, Stevens received the ball instantly, Rivers outside the three-point defense; Stevens broke through, James made up for the first time; the former passed again, because Gabriel Caxin Maubri, Johnson outside the attack to complete the steal, reflected in the data end:

After the team led by only six points at 117-111 in the last 4 minutes and 52 seconds, the lineup caused the Cavaliers to make a total of four turnovers, including Johnson stealing a layup; Mobley's mistake, Wei Shao assisting Gabriel 2+1; as shown in the above picture, James dunked heavily, 129-116 directly killed the suspense of the game.

James struggled backwards in the middle distance

In addition, another mystery of the above lineup, Gabriel and Johnson are present, James does not have to top the no. 5 position, the effect is visible to the naked eye, the last 3 minutes, James free throw line 2 points, counterattack heavy dunk, right waist position high difficult 2 points, when he returns to the front position, he is still the God Buddha kill LeBron.

Note that Vogel can sacrifice gabriel and Johnson's frontcourt combination with James, and if Tucker is not absent, perhaps Vogel is still afraid to try.

So, throughout the game, the Lakers were able to reverse the Cavaliers, James's strong outburst, Westbrook's pick-up, Augustine became a Surprise, including the last 5 minutes of the Strange Formation, in fact, it is closely related to Vogel's abandonment of Tucker, an extra mention, Tucker's 52 games this season, the Lakers 21 wins and 31 losses; Tucker's 20 games, the Lakers 10 wins and 10 losses!
