On December 25, Beijing time, the NBA Lakers team reporter exposed an interesting phenomenon of the current team this season: Russell, Hachimura and Reaves, who are currently ranked 3-5 in the team's salary, are now on the bench, which can be regarded as a major feature of the Lakers' tactical system this season!
The Lakers defeated the Thunder at 129:120 yesterday, and head coach Ham sent a starting lineup of James + Reddish + Prince + Vanderbilt + Thick Eyebrows Davis, and Russell, Hachimura, and Reaves, who are ranked 3-5 in the team's annual salary, all stayed on the bench, and I have to say that the Lakers are a luxury rotation lineup!
