Paper Guiluo City | Link Green Army, Knicks, Pelicans and other strong opponents, the Lakers are doing it again?

(Text/Los Angeles Vansidy)

The Los Angeles Lakers suddenly exploded, with a 4-1 record at this stage, beating the Celtics, Knicks, Hornets and Pelicans, and losing only one game to the Nuggets.

So is this stage of triangulation due to the stochastic trigonometric function, or is it because of Coach Hamm's adjustment?

Honestly, both:

First, God's dice are on the winning side, and at this stage the three points are all shot, and the offensive space is opened, and the game can be won.

Second, Ham did adjust the starting lineup and change the guiding ideology.

Throughout the season, Hamm's lineup can be described as chaotic, and 16 sets of starters have been changed so far this season, either two guards and three forwards, one guard and four forwards, or five forwards.

This is related to the team's role player configuration: except for Zhan Meitie, the rest of the players are either strong in attack and weak in defense (such as pull, li, eight, and wu), or very weak in defense and attack (such as Biao and Lei), and only Prince is rare to have both offense and defense.

Should the team attack or defend again?

This configuration is really difficult to use according to Hamm's brain capacity, and it is indeed as difficult as a complex variable function.

At this stage, Hamm seems to have opened his mind, this is his coaching ability to improve, right?

- Not really, because Reddish and Van der Biao have been injured one after another, and it is impossible to defend.

So Hamm suddenly reused Hachimura, which was about the same as his stepmother in Hamm's place, and suddenly got the chance to start, and the problem of chopping time on the court was solved.

So the two ghosts were injured, or because of randomness, so it was randomness that made Hamm enlightened.

Now the Lakers' starting line is an offensive lineup of two guards and three forwards, the starters are mainly Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, James and thick eyebrows, these five people are resting, and some people will stand up, but the thinking has not changed, that is, the whole offense, play fast break, shoot three points, and open up the offensive space.

On the offensive end, it is still the same set of multi-point pick-and-rolls, relying on multi-ball points (Zhan, La, Li) and thick eyebrows to block and pick and roll in turns, especially giving Russell more independent offensive power and reviving Russell.

In the last five games, Russell has missed one game, averaging 22.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, shooting 39.2% from the field and 42.5% from three-point range.

In the past five games, except for Hachimura, the 4 starters scored an average of points, achieving multi-point flowering, and appropriately reducing the burden on thick eyebrows.

The Lakers also had a good record, averaging 49.3% shooting per game, 38.9% from three-point range, 16.8 points on the fast break, and 120.2 offensive efficiency.

Especially against the Green Army and Pelicans, relying on offense a little more. With a three-point shooting rate of 52.8% in one game and 45.2% in a game, is this still the familiar Lakers?

So some people say, does this offensive style of play weaken the defense?

Not really, the Lakers' defensive efficiency in the last five games is also 113.9 (12th in the league).

In a sense, offense is the best defense.

The Lakers' offense is smooth, and the opponent's defensive energy is consumed, and you can't rely on shrinkage and joint defense to catch your pain points as before, which can affect the opponent's offense. This is another kind of burden reduction for the thick eyebrows of the defensive core.

However, the weight of the starting three with the ball is too high now, and the bench needs a ball-handler. At this stage, the ducks will be put on the shelves, and the effect will be on Mace.

Of course, the introduction of Dinwiddie will definitely work better in the future.

In the past five games, Ham has finally learned to take a rotational rest, especially against the Eastern Conference boss Celtics, and Zhan Mei is quite wise.

Green Army coach Mazzulla may have made sufficient pre-game preparations for Zhan Mei, but was confused by the civilian lineup without Zhan Mei, and the Lakers threw out a 52.8% three-point shooting rate and beat the Green Army in an upset.

And this one has greatly boosted the morale of the Lakers, especially the self-confidence of La and Li.

Since then, Zhan Mei has returned, recovered physically, and the whole team has improved their concentration, beating the Knicks, Hornets and Pelicans successively (of course, the Knicks' loss is related to Randle and Anunoby injuries, and Thibodeau overdrew Brunson and could not win).

In these games, Ham has begun to understand the size of the body, and against the Nuggets and Pelicans, he has made a big deal of twin towers, especially reusing Hayes to match the opponent's size.

Against the Nuggets, the twin towers of Hayes + thick eyebrows alleviated the size disadvantage, and Hayes scored 7 points and 5 boards in the fourth quarter to help the Lakers get closer.

The Pelican is too thick, and the size of Ingram, Zion, and Walan is difficult to match, and going to the twin towers can also alleviate a lot.

Of course, you can't really win when you meet the Lakers' nemesis, the Nuggets: the Nuggets' Jo-Mu Chuanche offensive system can't be stopped, Murray ravages the Lakers' outside line, and Jokic has a clear advantage against the thick eyebrows.

The Nuggets have a size advantage over the Lakers, who have made adjustments based on last season's experience:

Hachimura starts, thick eyebrows lead the defense teacher, Hachimura helps top Jokic, share the pressure of thick eyebrows defense, the effect is average, and the upper twin towers match the Nuggets size, because of the mobility and lateral movement, Murray and Porter Jr. are mad.

The Nuggets used Jokic to defend thick eyebrows, and Gordon to defend James, just to shrink as much as possible and bet on the Lakers to miss three points. The Lakers have a three-point iron of 32%, and they can only rely on the inside to attack, so it is naturally difficult to win.

The Lakers are not happy to win, not enough to worry about losing, the team's offense has no system, only the players' offensive ability is enough, and the team's ceiling is determined to be like this;

There is also the basic skill of pause, which Hamm can't learn, after all, he can summon the dragon after saving enough pause. Against the Pelicans, the thick eyebrows didn't let down the rest and had to save another foul if they didn't let go and rested, which is god!

In the end, Kobe's statue unveiling ceremony is more noteworthy than the Lakers game!
