After defeating the Wizards, the Lakers team returned to Los Angeles and received a day off according to the schedule.

The coaching staff did not have a holiday. On the afternoon of the 21st, Su Yang still rushed to the training base to review the game and prepare.

The offseason suspension has made the schedule very tense and chaotic. Since the start of the game, the Lakers have played 17 games, while many teams have only played 13 games. However, with excellent load management, the Lakers have only left two players in injury state.

"After fighting the Pacer tomorrow night, I can finally relax for a while..." Workaholic Mike Brown couldn't help but complain.

Snyder and others burst into laughter, while Su Yang shook his head and sighed, knowing that the next seven days and three games will be easy, but then the eight days and four games will be connected, two of which will be back-to-back away games. The intensity of the schedule is comparable to that of 996 and the pressure is extremely high.

The topic quickly turned to how to play against the Pacers, Mike Brown said: "Pacers start point guard Darren Collison is very fast, good at using cover to launch breakthroughs, fast break propulsion speed is also among the top six, and accurate mid-range shots.

In my opinion, if Derek Fisher goes to the position, it will easily become a defensive loophole, causing our formation torn.

I suggest lin starts, he played well in the last game against speed point guard John Wall."

After Mike Brown said that, Snyder and others didn't say anything, but their expressions seemed to want to laugh and were holding back.

Su Yang thought for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Mike Brown's sincere eyes carefully. It was difficult to tell whether Mike Brown wanted to flatter him. He thought that Jeremy Lin could win favorable appearances in the starting lineup, or did he really think that Jeremy Lin would be better in the first place.

"Apart from the back-to-back situation last night when he played against weak defensive teams, there is no need to let Jeremy Lin start the game..."

Su Yang said: "His shortcomings are very obvious. He is prone to stealing and making mistakes when dribbling too high, and his positioning of three-pointers is not very stable. He needs to hold a lot of ball to attack, but if he partnered with Kobe and Gasol for a long time, the profit of holding a lot of ball to be low."

Lin Crazy has only seven games. In addition to Lin’s injury, there is another important reason that he is targeted.

Lin Gang started to perform well, but other teams in the league did not pay much attention to it, but after the popularity soared, the teams represented by Hornets and Heat began to deliberately target. The main strategy was to squeeze through the screen and apply pressure on the inside to delay the obstacles and cut off the passing route, let him rush to the near the basket, limit his mid-range and pass advantage, and amplify his shortcomings of ball control deviation and lack of offensive methods.

Such a strategy is difficult to deal with even the matches in the library, so Lin naturally faded and turned into an ordinary player's level.

A strong team plays the sixth man, and a weak team plays the starting lineup, which is the best positioning for Lin. The core reason is that Lin needs to hold a lot of ball. In a team like the Lakers, if Lin holds a lot of ball to attack, he will definitely be targeted. After all, the pressure to defend Kobe is too great.

"Then give full play to his advantages of taking a substitute fast break. He works well with Josh..." Mike Brown continued, "as long as we get enough rest time for our main players, we can be in a favorable situation for offense and defense."

Su Yang nodded in agreement, the matter was considered a complete deal, and assistant coach Darwin Hamm immediately proposed to use fast attacks to deal with the Pacers.

"That's the right strategy, but we have to use it in stages, because it's very difficult to start quickly..." Su Yang explained.

During the discussion, the preparation meeting ended.

Su Yang drove away from the training base and drove to a Chinese restaurant called Thai Emperor in Ergondo. He met Jeremy Lin as planned to talk about the positioning team in detail, and reminded him to practice throwing and three-pointers, and said bluntly that he hoped Lin would stay for a long time.

The next evening, the Lakers played against the Pacers at home.

Fisher continued to start and according to the strategy arranged by Su Yang, he bullied Collison with few three-point shots and low shooting percentage. When encountering screens, he used more bypassing to intercept breakthroughs and lured Collison to pass the ball to other Pacers players.

The game started at 7 o'clock, and the Pacers were as usual, and they devoted their energy to the defensive end at the beginning, and the offensive feel was very poor.

That is a typical coaching idea of ​​Frank Vogel, hoping to use a steady defense to slowly recover points.

Su Yang knew Vogel's ideas too well and directly instructed Kobe to attack. After receiving the ball, he took a quick move to prevent the Pacers from entering the steady single-player locking rhythm, and also caught the newcomer Paul George and his enemy Deng Tai Jones to death, and they were quick and hard.

A variety of factors were put together, and the Lakers led the Pacers 31-14 in the first quarter, making Vogel unable to calm down.

As the game entered the substitute stage, Su Yang made another move, allowing Jeremy Lin to match McRoberts, Barnes, Goodlock and Ebanks to speed up and fight quickly without hesitation, making the Pacers unable to play their strongest defensive advantages.

The defensive end also unscrupulously adopted three-and-two joint defense to restrict Pacers from breaking through and bullied Pacers three-point shots to pull the span.

Jeremy Lin performed well on both offense and defense, but was not affected by Lance Stephen's evil offense. He cooperated with McRoberts and McGrady to successfully lead the team to expand his lead. When the main players of the two teams came back one after another, the Lakers led by as much as 24 points.

The game showed garbage time early, and the Pacers were unwilling to try to strengthen their defense and counterattack in the third quarter.

That's Frank Vogel's usual strategy, but unfortunately Su Yang didn't take that trick and directly asked Kobe to take the lead and play more inside.

The pace of the game forced to slow down, and the Pacers couldn't make it up at all. After the third quarter, the score difference was not narrowed. However, when entering the substitute stage in the fourth quarter, Su Yang asked Jeremy Lin to lead the team to play quickly. In the seamless switching, the Pacers players were completely insane.

After the game, the Lakers defeated the Pacers 112-98, and Jeremy Lin scored 17 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.

Then the data is only considered an excellent substitute at most. The media that originally wanted to praise them lacked the entry point.

Without continuing media reports, Jeremy Lin’s previous discussions have dropped rapidly, and many scouts are not interested.

After the game, he attended a press conference and talked about Jeremy Lin's performance against the Pacers in this game, Su Yang specifically mentioned the situation of poor performance: "He also needs to pay attention to control mistakes, his left-hand offensive ability needs to be strengthened, and his emergency stop handling ability needs to be improved..."

That comment made the heat of related discussions drop again, and platforms such as Twitter no longer have any discussions on how to defend Jeremy Lin.

The Lakers team rested for three days and narrowly beat the Mavericks 103-100 at home. Jeremy Lin scored 14 points, 7 assists and 1 turnover.

After three more days of rest, the Lakers beat the Bucks 119-100 away, and Jeremy Lin scored 15 points, 8 assists and 1 turnover.

After playing against the Bucks, the Lakers flew to Minnesota overnight. Jeremy Lin scored 21 points, 5 assists and 0 mistakes. Bynum, who joined forces with 3020, narrowly defeated the Timberwolves with five-point advantage when Kobe and Gasol only played for 28 minutes.

With seven consecutive victories, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles. After two days of rest, they easily defeated the Bobcats and won eight consecutive victories.

Jeremy Lin made 4 of 7 shots in the game, efficiently scoring 12 points and 6 assists, but did not attract any media attention.

Without media attention, there will be no special targeting, and more time will be improved, and everything is developing healthily.

When the coaching staff reviewed, Mike Brown said excitedly: "Lin's stable performance in the substitute stage gave Kobe more rest time, and also allowed Goodlock and Barnes and others to get more good three-pointers to make their phones, which is also very good with McGrady.

We made a lot of money in this deal, our lineup and style of play are becoming more and more stable, and our probability of winning the championship has increased greatly!"

Su Yang agreed with that view, and then received a call from Kupchek, and then he made a clear idea after chatting for a few simple words: Jeremy Lin's stable performance and Blake's rapid recovery made Fisher's value in the Lakers lower and lower. The management has officially decided to use the Fisher trade to obtain a center player, mainly to serve as a substitute for Bynum. First, ask him what he thinks.
