On the 25th, the Lakers played against the Jazz at home.

Because Mo Williams was injured and absent, the witty Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin changed the team again and arranged for the 191 cm tall Jamal Tinsley, who was about to retire, and partnered with Randy Fery, who was 193 cm tall, to form the Jazz's starting lineup.

Gordon Hayward is still on the bench.

In this way, because Randy Ferye and Jamal Tinsley lacked average organizational level and the defensive level deviation caused the Jazz to span the offense and defense at the same time. In the first five minutes, the Lakers played a 15-4 attack wave, making the Jazz sleepwalking the entire team.

Seeing this, Su Yang adjusted his strategy on the spot, hoping to use the game instead of training, and asked the players to share more balls and strive for an easy victory.

Kobe took the lead in execution and took the initiative to give up the ability to beat Randy Fery through his height advantage. He made many back-to-back breakthroughs, and then passed the ball and assisted.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Jazz did not rush to replace Shanghai Ward at all, but Hayward was not the kind of crazy guy who held the ball and single-handedly challenged the maniac. His teammates were players like Kanter who lacked shooting, so they could not form an efficient chasing momentum and failed to narrow the score gap.

It was not until the Lakers line up Artai with four substitutes that the Jazz relied on Hayward to play the pick-and-roll and barely caught up with a little score.

Su Yang then sent Kobe and other main players again, quickly controlling the rhythm of the game. After the half, the Lakers led 56-37.

The game trend did not fluctuate in the third quarter. Su Yang launched a full substitute lineup in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers finally won 102-84.

In the whole game, Jamie Cheung and Bazemore scored 9 points, but unfortunately failed to achieve a double-digit achievement for seven players in the team.

Kobe scored 14 points and 14 assists, with a total of 28 assists in the team, which is considered a real team basketball. After the game, Curry joked: "I think I should return to the more familiar shooting guard position, and I will score better than Kobe..."

Su Yang also talked about Kobe's Double 14 data at the press conference and said with a smile: "Compared with 14 assists, I'm happier that Kobe can win with just 14 points, which means that our team already has many excellent scorers, and it will be difficult for us to defend..."

Regarding Su Yang's words, "Open-Air Stand" reposted and explained in detail, and gradually gained a lot of approval among the fans of the earth.

"At the beginning of the season, Su Yang and his assistant coach team decided not to rely too much on the Big Three strategies and strictly implement until the middle of the season. At the same time, they practiced rookies in large quantities and increased the tactical status of substitutes. There were Draymond Green who successfully became the starting power forward, and Antoine Jamison's phased super performance. What's more important is that the entire Lakers team remains healthy. Except for Stephen Curry, because of conservative observation, there are no other players in the Lakers absent due to injury. Looking at the entire league, it is very rare.

Because they insisted on that strategy, they regretted losing some games, and even lost three consecutive games when they encountered strong playoff teams. However, judging from the final score and the on-site situation, the gap between the Lakers and those three teams is very small. If they are lucky, the result will be hard to say."

Su Yang saw the report from "Open-Air Stand" and reposted it casually: "You are very professional, at least professional than ESPN..." The Lakers lost several times, either a win or a tie. As long as they are lucky, they will not lose 12 games.

After a day off, the Lakers face the Thunder at home.

Given that the substitute lineup was hit 16-0, resulting in a regretful loss, Su Yang adjusted his strategy on the spot. With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers and the Thunder were in a normal state, and then withdrew Curry early, then removed Green again in case the Thunder were not ethical.

Curry and Green ended up in the game. The Lakers continued to stick to the team-oriented approach, using a large number of passes and continuously mobilized the Thunder's defensive attention, allowing the Thunder players who rely on their talents to defend to run around and still lead by 4 points after the first quarter.

The game entered the second quarter substitute stage. The Thunder did not talk about martial ethics. Durant only took a minute to play. In order to deal with Curry and Green, he also specially matched Sefrosa and Ibaka. It looked quite targeted and wanted to repeat the previous strategy.

However, Curry's ability to get involved without the ball was too strong, and Green became more skilled in dealing cards at the top of the arc. The two took away most of the Thunder's defensive attention. Although they did not have much chance to be dealt with by the Thunder, they helped Jamison and Meeks create many easy scoring opportunities.

On the contrary, because Sefrosa lacks shooting, the Lakers unscrupulously double-team Durant, which made the Thunder's scoring efficiency less effective until Kevin Martin and Westbrook reappeared, and they lost many open shots in vain.

After the half-time game, the Lakers led the Thunder 57 to 45, with 38 points generated through assists and teamwork.

After returning from the third quarter after halftime, the second young master of Thunder rushed and fought desperately. At the cost of not resting, after Curry got off the court, he struggled to narrow the 5-point gap. Durant still chose to fight continuously when the fourth quarter started, but his condition was deviated.

Seeing this, Su Yang directed Atai to the main attack, and Atai scored 7 points in a row without any ruthlessness. Durant couldn't stand it and could not keep up.

Thunder head coach Brooks found that the situation had changed and hurriedly sent Westbrook to advance, but Westbrook continued to rush and beat hard, but he took two offensive fouls in a row, causing the Thunder's offensive rhythm to be in chaos. When the adjustment was completed, Kobe took over the game again.

After the game, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 105-96. Kobe made 8 of 12 shots in the game, scored 21 points efficiently with free throws, and scored 14 assists again. Six players in the team scored in double digits, among which Mix and Jamison scored 28 points together.

"You may have never seen Kobe like this. He has 14 assists in two consecutive games and can win without scoring all his strength. He performed very well. Of course, Stephen Curry has made great contributions silently and has no conspicuous data records..."

Attending the press conference after the game, Su Yang focused on the new version of Kobe, but in his previous life, he had seen Kobe's atypical performance in two consecutive games and defeating strong teams with 14 assists in two consecutive games and low scores. That is, after the D'Antoni system was completed in 2013, he partnered with Nash in healthy period. Unfortunately, Nash was injured again, causing Kobe to enter singles mode again, and Shi Ye was dead.

If it were in front of me, Kobe would be partnering with Curry who was completely healthy and was about to reach the peak, 14 assists would be too easy.

After a day off, the Lakers faced the strong rival Heat at home.

Perhaps because he found that Curry's gravitational field was too strong, the Heat focused on limiting it at the beginning. Every time Curry tried to cross the paint area with the help of cover, Bosh and Haslem gave great physical confrontation, and the referee turned a blind eye, which made the Lakers quite passive.

After five consecutive rounds, Su Yang adjusted his tactics on the spot, no longer crossed the paint area, and used a large number of external double covers and hand-handed hands, cooperated with early pick-and-roll and fake pick-and-roll, and then used Green's occasionally short strategy to play. He took advantage of the Heat's double-teaming characteristics and cut a lot of empty attacks, successfully hitting a 16-to-5 attack wave, which made the Heat not know how to defend, and Spore was confused.

The main short strategy is tailor-made for Green. In the past, few teams used it in pick-and-roll strategies. The core idea is to pass the ball more quickly or throw directly, which is a bit different from other big players in the league to attack the basket or CFD.

If you say that it is not very powerful, it is definitely not as good as Nowitzki's pick-and-roll strategy. It's so accurate that the Heat have never seen it before.

After the half-time game, the Lakers led by 8 points.

The Heat used the strongest offense and defense in the third quarter, and did not hesitate to foul. In addition, LeBron played consecutive singles, narrowing the 5-point gap.

In the fourth quarter, Su Yang considered the scene and arranged for Kobe and Curry to play pick-and-roll. At the same time, Green played center, matched with Mix and Jamison to play the Lakers' ultimate five-square lineup, with full offensive attributes, and 23-team defense end to bet on the Heat.

The Heat simultaneously sent a small ball lineup composed of LeBron, Wade, Ray Allen, Miller and Bosh to fight head-on.

The two teams made the stadium explode, either hitting irons continuously or hitting continuously. The Lakers finally narrowly won 1 point through Curry's free throw.

After the game, it was very controversial, because the Heat made 28 fouls in the game and the Lakers only had 21 fouls in the game.

At the post-match press conference, when facing reporters' inquiry, Su Yang calmly said: "The Heat have mostly fouls because of their defensive strategy, we have fewer fouls because we pass a lot, rarely confrontations when scoring, and a large number of 23 joint defenses were adopted in the fourth quarter..."

In the whole game, the Lakers scored 100 points, Kobe scored 11 assists, and the team scored in double digits, which shows how sharp the team cooperated.

The Lakers team flew to Phoenix overnight, challenging the Suns back to back away, with a lack of people and a loss by 6 points.

The game was officially finished in January, and the Lakers continued their five-game journey, including the powerful Heat and the Celtics.

When he got on the plane, Su Yang was on a whim and decided to imitate the psychological tactics of Raptors head coach Nass, pretending to be calm and said to the Lakers: "The next schedule is difficult, we will strive to win a game between the Heat and the Celtics..."

"NO!" Kobe interrupted Su Yang, "We all want to win!"
