0329 A little disagreement
After playing against the Spurs, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles overnight and received three days of rest according to the schedule.
Perhaps because the game was full of highlights, early the next morning, ESPN specifically discussed the reasons why the Lakers went from a big defeat to a big victory in three days in the analysis program "JUMP". The guests responsible for the analysis were Bulls celebrity Pippen and Bill Walton.
"As you all see, Bynum gradually loses value in Su Yang's offensive and defensive system..." Bill Walton said, "We all know that Su Yang attaches great importance to pulling space, so he prefers inside players who can ensure mid- and long-distance shooting.
Andrew Bynum is obviously not such a player, nor does he have the mobility of Tyson Chandler. He cannot provide the large-scale sweeping assistance defense that Su Yang likes. He can only serve as a separate restraint point for the inside. It is indeed powerful, but it does not fit."
Pippen continued: "In that game last night, the Lakers established the winning foundation. The center position player was Paul Gasol, who was able to support shooting and mid-range shooting. Later, he was able to shoot with Troy Murphy, who could also shoot even if he did not attack at a low post.
Bynum left the game and asked Su Yang to guide the Lakers to play the horn elbow series tactics that best play the player's strength.
If you analyze the game carefully, you can find that each attack by the Lakers, there are at least two offensive opportunities.
That was a very terrifying efficiency. The key was in the second half of the second quarter, and the entire third quarter. Because Bynum's presence, the Lakers' scoring efficiency was not as good as the Spurs, especially when Parker and Duncan cooperated with pick-and-roll, Bynum had difficulty providing defense..."
Walton and Pippen's remarks were broadcast live through ESPN and soon spread on social platforms such as Twitter.
Fans discussed Bynum's performance and looked at the post-match statistics. They found that Bynum made 5 of 9 shots and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored a total of 17 points in the whole game, but he also made three mistakes. At first glance, he was very efficient, but he had no right to the ball.
Just as the fans were discussing whether Bynum should be given more ball rights, ESPN data analysis expert John Hollinger tweeted: "From data such as OWS and WS/48, Bynum provided the score on the court when facing teams such as the Thunder, Spurs, Mavericks, etc., is lower than the lost score, but Bynum faces teams such as the Heat and Bulls, the opposite is true.
Obviously, Bynum's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, so sometimes 3020 and sometimes only 17 points."
Unemployed player Arenas tweeted: "Benum entered the league with the title of a talented player, but in recent years, the Lakers have never played a performance corresponding to his name and treatment. Su Yang's arrival has specifically persuaded Kobe to share more of the ball, and thus helped Bynum play a wonderful performance. Therefore, some games choose to reduce Bynum's use time, which is entirely due to game considerations."
Another unemployed player, Kenyon Martin, tweeted: "Alinas wants to sign the Lakers with a basic salary, and he is completely nonsense. The so-called Su Yang helps Bynum get more ball rights, which Bynum deserves, and the so-called winning Bynum against the Spurs is better at playing. Su Yang will not deal with the Spurs' inside defense. Everyone has forgotten how Phil uses Bynum?"
Commentator Bill Simmons tweeted: "I don't like Su Yang that much, but I must Bynum play too few scenes against the Spurs, which is not Su Yang's selfishness, because in the past, Su Yang's team's center segments were very few, whether in the Thunder or the Trail Blazers, such as Channing Fry's starting three-pointer, Tyson Chandler mentioned that participating in the double-team at the three-point line was his signature style of play, and he won many times. He was not targeting Bynum, but it was not very consistent with his offensive and defensive system."
The three well-known figures made consecutive tweets, which once again sparked some heated discussions, but the Lakers won the game in the end, and the hot discussions did not expand.
Su Yang also saw discussions from the outside world, but he felt that what Pippen and Walton said made some sense, but as for the others, some nonsense.
On the 19th, the Lakers played against the Hawks at home.
Su Yang rushed to the Staples Center early, arranged the training content as usual, and turned to the media for interviews.
The first question is how to view the discussions about Bynum. Su Yang said: "Benum is an excellent player and can provide us with a lot of support on both offense and defense, but we all know that even Michael Jordan did not achieve the three-point shooting ability in the league. Every player will be easily targeted. It is normal to make choices in order to win the game, just like sometimes we will arrange for Derek Fisher to be the substitute, or let Gasol play less."
The reporter asked again whether he prefers centers with stronger mid-range shooting and stronger mobile capabilities. Su Yang said: "Who doesn't love such center players? But looking at the entire league, there are not many players with the low-post threat ability like Bynum. Of course, I want a center that can be defended and played at low posts, but I have never seen such a center yet."
After the interview, Su Yang went to the VIP private room to discuss matters related to buying out or trading Dior with Kupchek.
"Trading for Dior is the safest choice, but because we have few players available for trading and the Hornets are more willing to free up their cap space, we may have to pay extra draft picks as a price, fearing that it will not meet expectations at that time..."
Kupchek's words are concerned that the Lakers lack good assets, and giving out draft picks will affect future reinforcement.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang knew that the main reason was that the current record was acceptable, and the management and the Bass family had not had that high desire to trade with each other. Otherwise, there would be four draft picks to exchange for Nash, which is normal and tends to be conservative when facing interests.
But if Dior buys out and joins, the Lakers will definitely be happy. After all, they only have a basic salary and can still get rid of it off the offseason.
Anyway, I like it if I have sex for free.
If you spend money and draft picks, you must make careful choices.
"I understand what you mean, I will try my best to find a way..." Su Yang didn't force it, mainly because it is difficult to prove Dior's ability now.
After leaving the VIP private room and heading to the arena, Su Yang specifically pulled Bynum to communicate, hinting that he should not worry about the outside world's remarks.
At seven o'clock, the game officially started.
Considering Josh Smith's defensive habits and his height was at a disadvantage in the power forward position, Su Yang instructed the whole team to play more around Gasol, and Kobe cooperated very well to help with the ball. Gasol quickly and efficiently scored 10 points through singles.
During the substitute match between the two teams, Su Yang continued to test the horn �
The main and substitute attacked for two consecutive rounds, and the Hawks could not stand up. The Lakers led by up to 18 points after halftime.
After returning from the break at halftime, the situation in the third quarter did not change. The Lakers expanded their lead and turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.
Su Yang withdrew his main force early, allowing Walton and Capono, who had not played for a long time, to play more, and finally won 106-91.
In the whole game, Gasol scored 14 of 22 shots, scored 30 points and 13 rebounds, and rarely sent 4 blocks.
Bynum is very efficient, making 7 of 10 shots in total, scoring 15 points with free throws, and Kobe sent 17 assists.
After the game, he attended a press conference and talked about Bynum's only 10 moves. The reporter asked if, as discussed by the outside world, Bynum had begun to be on the marginal position in the Lakers' offensive and defensive system, and the ball rights were divided up by Jeremy Lin and others.
Su Yang shrugged and chuckled: "All arrangements are for the need to win the game. Next time you face the Suns, you will see Bynum dominating the inside crazily. Let's discuss Kobe's 17 assists, which will tie his career record..."
I specifically mentioned Kobe's 17 assists, and mainly announced to the outside world: Kobe is no longer a football boss, come to the Lakers!
After the press conference, Su Yang returned to the locker room and accidentally caught a glimpse of the news: Curry, who had just returned, was injured again.
Chapter completed!
