On April 21, Beijing time, the Lakers VS Nuggets G1 was played at the Nuggets' home court, and in the end, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets 103-114 and lost the first game.
The Lakers' playoff game strategy was to grab the first game of the seven-game series and start the first game, and today the Lakers will strictly implement the game strategy, leading the Nuggets by 8 points 33-25 in the first quarter.
After losing the first game, how will the Lakers adjust next to overcome the enemy and turn the tables around
The Lakers relied on this game strategy last season to reach the Western Conference Finals, and the Western Finals became passive when the Nuggets' strategy failed, and they were swept out by the Nuggets.
After losing the first game, how will the Lakers adjust next to overcome the enemy and turn the tables around
Take a look at the Lakers' game today, thick eyebrows played up to 45 minutes, James played up to 41 minutes, you must know that NBA players are not iron-clad, they will be tired, and they also need to adjust and rest, not to mention that Lao Zhan is 41 years old. Today was supposed to fight hard for the game, but it backfired.
So how should we adjust for the next game?
My suggestion is to put Vincent in the starting lineup, put Rivers off the bench, let Vincent defend Jamal Murray, and let Rivers go to play in the second team. In this way, between offense and defense, the Lakers will have a higher chance of winning the game.

Today, the Lakers almost won the game, mainly Russell and Rivers went to Pope and Jamal Murray, consuming too much physical energy, resulting in Russell shooting 1 of 9 three-pointers, but Russell couldn't get the bench, Russell played the bench and was wasted, and he couldn't lift his energy at all, he needed Lao Zhan to play with him in order to play the three-point power of offensive and defensive conversion.
