On February 1st, the Lakers challenged the Timberwolves away.

Su Yang got the Timberwolves' roster before the game and found that Love was absent due to injury. He immediately adjusted the team's offensive strategy, allowing Curry to take the ball more and Kobe to play without the ball more, ensuring that the Lakers can adapt to the changing offensive strategy in the playoffs.

Overall, we continue to adhere to the team-oriented approach.

Curry and Kobe received the order to play. Facing the Timberwolves' strategy of delaying the ball-holder, ensuring that Rubio and Ridno are not beaten, decisively passed the ball to Gasol for handling. Gasol frequently attacked the basket or scored long shots, and quickly scored 13 points. Curry and Kobe also stretched the defensive end, making it difficult for Ridno and Rubio to make shots from the outside, making the Timberwolves extremely reliant on the inside.

Unfortunately, the Timberwolves' two inside players, Derek Williams and Pekovic, are also embarrassed.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Timberwolves 37-24.

The game entered the second quarter substitute stage. The Timberwolves were all substitutes, including the shrimp soldiers and crab players. The strongest man was Barria, who made Jamison, Mix and Blake on the Lakers feel like they were in a no-man's realm, and rushed 19 to 5.

Seeing that situation, Su Yang did not rotate as usual, and sent Curry and Kobe again with more than seven minutes left, but asked Jamison to continue playing. Jamison and the three of them lived up to expectations and faced the Timberwolves' main players, and they played 7-6 again.

When Curry and Kobe make their debut again, the Lakers have already led the Timberwolves 63-38, and the game has entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

After returning from the half-time break, Su Yang let Kobe and Curry play for a few minutes to satisfy those fans who specialize in buying tickets away to watch the Lakers. He then sent Green to a lineup with four substitutes, but he still beat the Timberwolves up to a bad squad.

After the game, the Lakers won 111-100, with a total of six players scoring in double digits. Jamison, Mix and Blake scored 41 points together, Curry scored 10 assists, Kobe scored 5 assists, and Gasol scored the highest 22 points in the team.

On the plane to Detroit, Su Yang calmly and firmly told the Lakers: "In the last five games, we have assisted 24 in each game. Our style of play is extremely difficult to defend. Apart from injuries and fatigue, we are almost invincible..."

That's not to force encouragement, but Kobe's efficiency is very high, and he directly leads other teams to defensive strategies. Double-teaming is easy to get an open position, and if he doesn't double-teaming, he is easy to get eaten alone. He makes a few three-pointers in the shooting, and his close-fitting defense will be easily broken by Kobe...

On the evening of the third, the Lakers challenged the Pistons away.

On the TNT live broadcast of the game, O'Neal said jealously: "Have you watched Phil Jackson's interview yesterday? He praised Kobe for being infinitely close to Michael Jordan's second three-game winning streak, and it was easier than Michael Jordan at that time, because under the directing of Su Yang, the Lakers scored more and more powerful than the Bulls of that year, and Kobe didn't need to bear the scoring pressure of Jordan..."

Barkley wanted to answer the conversation, but O'Neal continued: "When I worked with Kobe back then, he would pass the ball and assist, but not like now. Even though Kobe passed the ball last season, he was not like this. Now he believes in those Lakers players very much..."

At seven o'clock, the game starts.

Su Yang continued to let Curry hold the ball and assist, but the Pistons had no resistance or counterattack. The Lakers led 62-51 in the first half.

The Pistons starter and substitute cannot beat the Lakers, especially during the substitute stage. Pistons rookie Andre Drummond can only grab rebounds, and there is no delay in positioning and sweeping assisting defense. This allows the three substitutes of the Lakers led by Jamison to easily score on the basket.

The second half was still the same routine. Su Yang took care of the fans and arranged for Kobe and other main players to play casually, relying more on substitutes to play against the Pistons. In the end, he won 108-97. Curry, who was clocked in for three quarters, had a total of 11 points and 10 assists.

After the game, fans discussed on Twitter and other platforms, slowly forming a conspiracy theory that "Su Yang intends to suppress Curry's data."

The conspiracy theory believes that Su Yang makes Curry's data not that good-looking through various methods, helps the Lakers reduce Curry's price next year, and thus promotes Curry's contract renewal at a low price, making it easier for the Lakers to sign more powerful players in the free market and build a super dynasty.

When Su Yang saw the report, he thought that the conspiracy theory was quite correct. The formation of the Warriors dynasty in his previous life was closely related to Curry's four-year, 44 million "child labor" contract. If it weren't for that contract, the Warriors at that time would have been unable to use space to force Durant.

"Just Curry's performance, if I buy a team in the future and want to win him, it is almost impossible to sign a contract at a low price..." Su Yang felt a little nervous for a moment, but thinking about it, he had already gained Curry's two-year bonus, which was considered a big profit, and he also cultivated his feelings in advance.

After two days off, the Lakers challenged the Nets away.

Because of the previous consecutive defeats, the "Little General" Avery Johnson has been fired by the Nets, and the Nets' interim head coach is PJ Carlesimo, the former Thunder's head coach. The tactics are quite complicated, making it difficult for the four giants, Deron, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson, and Brooke Lopez, to exert all their strength. Before playing the game, they will first use their own success, which is extremely confusing.

Su Yang directed the Lakers to continue their previous play style, and they won 92-83 in the whole game, and Curry scored 17 points and 8 assists efficiently.

After another day of rest, the Lakers flew to Boston, challenged their old opponent Celtics, fought hard for four quarters, and narrowly won 4 points.

With four consecutive victories, the whole team rushed to Charlotte overnight.

When he woke up in the morning, Su Yang pulled the assistant coach team to review the game and found that the Celtics did not hesitate to take the initiative to use 18 fouls, thus achieving the goal of destroying the Lakers' offensive fluency, resulting in the Lakers' free throws in the game, although they had 30 free throws in the whole game, they only had 16 assists for the first time.

Strictly speaking, the Celtics achieved their goal and successfully destroyed the Lakers' team's ability to win, so that the Lakers could win was relying on Kobe and Curry to play singles in the last moments. If Kobe and Curry's luck or feel was slightly off, the result would be really unpredictable.

Su Yang didn't think of a solution for the moment, so he continued to lead the team to challenge the Bobcats at night, but he ended up losing 7 points.

But compared to the previous defeat of the Celtics, the Lakers have assisted up to 23 times again, but they are only facing the Bobcats' crazy speed-up, and they are also strictly guarded against defending the inside line. The three-pointer is too much to pull back, and the game is lost. The strategy can be said to be fine.

On the 10th, the Lakers flew to Miami to challenge the Heat, fought hard until the last five seconds before Arte sneaked into the basket and narrowly won by 1 point.

This time, the Heat made up as many as 32 fouls in the game.

The Lakers only had 17 times.

But no one complained about the slaughter and call issue, because the Heat's foul was obvious, and it was not the foul tactics against Green, but the defensive moves were particularly large, and they tried their best to cut the Lakers team to cooperate and foul.

If Ate hadn't succeeded in a sneak attack, it would have been the Lakers' loss.

The Heat obviously used the sweetness of foul strategy before and saw that the Celtics almost succeeded, so they used it so resolutely. After all, the Lakers players, especially Curry and Blake, are prone to lack stability when facing high-intensity defense.

Su Yang still didn't expect the solution. The whole team flew back to Los Angeles, defeating the Suns at home first, and losing to the Clippers with three-pointers.

In the game where the Lakers made 17 fouls and the Clippers made 28 fouls. Curry only made 3 of 9 shots in the game. It was not that there was no tactics, but that Curry had difficulty getting the ball. Every time he got the ball, he was disturbed by big moves. The referee did not call the foul several times.

As of the All-Stars, the Lakers have 39 wins and 15 losses, and can only rank third in the Western Conference, and their home advantage in the playoffs is worrying.

But the biggest problem is that many teams will inevitably imitate the Celtics, Heat, and Clippers, and proactively foul the Lakers.
