Chapter 689 Small ball, big ball, the top of the Forbidden City!(1/2)
After Lambis joined the Lakers, Harris gave Lambis enough respect and gave him enough rights.
Then, what happened was different from what everyone, including Sun Hao imagined.
Originally, the Lakers wanted to ask Lambis to make up for the details of the triangular tactics.
Because Harris has mastered most of the theory, Sun Hao and Yao Ming are also very good at implementing it, but some details are not in place.
Because only those details that are studied for a long time or attacking with triangles are known.
Lambis is the one who fits their minds.
However, after really getting started, what Lambis did was not. What he did was to reduce the proportion of Yao Ming and Sun Hao in the triangular tactics, give other players more tactical proportions, and increase their participation!
This has attracted many people's doubts.
Because this is a bit of an egalitarian.
But when Sun Hao and Yao Ming play the average main players, isn’t this a way to pick up watermelons and throw sesame seeds?
But Lambis also gave his own explanation.
After the Timberwolves failed to try a triangle offense, he found that the advantages and disadvantages of the triangle tactics were obvious.
The advantage is that this tactic can maximize the strength of superstars.
The disadvantage is that this tactic relies heavily on superstars.
Therefore, once some unexpected situations occur, such as injuries, fouls, and physical fitness, superstars are likely to lose the game if they cannot play at critical moments.
Based on this discovery, he wanted to increase the participation of role players so that those situations could be avoided.
This explanation sounds quite reasonable, especially in line with the current situation of the Lakers.
Yao Ming returned from injury shortly after he was relieved, so he allowed him to play less in the regular season and to accumulate strength for the playoffs.
Moreover, the Lakers' role players can play a lot this season, Carter, Millsap, Knight, Butler, Fernandez. These people can play more than just tool people.
So after the explanation, the Lakers also supported Lambis' decision.
Of course, whether this will work in the end will only be known after the competition has verified it.
The good news is not long since the season begins, and the Lakers still have time to try it out.
A few days later, the Lakers ushered in their first game after joining the Lan game, against the Spurs.
What is a bit embarrassing is that the Lakers lost this game and the seven consecutive victories were over.
The unexpected strength of the Spurs this season is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the role players of the Lakers still seem to be somewhat unacceptable to the added roles.
This is normal. Everyone has to adapt to the sudden change of the character.
After two days off, the Lakers were away from the Nuggets.
The Nuggets are mainly young people, but they have performed well so far, ranking tenth in the West, which is quite good for a team mainly rookie.
In this game, the Lakers finally defeated their opponents.
But there are still some people who don’t feel that much comfortable in this victory process.
Because the role players are still unable to adapt to the increased role, the Lakers win when Sun Hao and Yao Ming are both present.
Then, the Lakers lost the game against the Knicks again.
Although the recent schedule is not very good, compared with the past 7 consecutive wins, Lambis's record of 1 win and 2 losses after joining the team is obviously unacceptable.
Some Lakers fans, especially those who are not optimistic about the team, began to explode at this time.
They think that Lambis's style is not good at all, because the triangular offensive tactics are not tactics designed for character players at all!
Playing like this is just a slaughter to kill chickens, which is not only a waste but also a backfire.
Even moved out Lambis' failed coaching experience at the Timberwolves as evidence.
With reasonable evidence, there were also some voices in the Lakers' management that wanted to replace Lambis.
Although the person recommended by Old Winter, Old Winter probably didn't know that Lambis would do this.
However, even if there is a sound, the Lakers will not operate so quickly.
Because there is not enough time, it proves whether it is OK. A few games alone are not enough.
Time flies, and it is already the eve of the Christmas War in a blink of an eye.
The Lakers' record in the past half month is 4 wins and 4 losses.
There has basically been a voice within the management team, and the next game against the Warriors will be Lambis' last chance.
If the Lakers lose this Christmas game in the end, then Lambis's Lakers assistant career ends here.
Although the management did not clarify this matter, internal information still flowed out unexpectedly.
This also caused a small earthquake to the team.
This has something to do with Lambis.
His understanding of triangular tactics is somewhat deviant in the future.
But he has a good support among players.
These two things do not conflict in themselves.
One is a person's work ability and the other is a person's communication ability.
Including Sun Hao, he actually has a good impression of Lambis.
Because as before, when there are any small conflicts in the team, Lambis can always discover them immediately and resolve them quickly.
So although the team's record is not very good, the atmosphere of the team is even better at the beginning of the game season.
In this case, the players must have been a bit complicated when they heard that tonight’s game might be Lambis’ last night on the team.
They also knew that the team was not going to continue like this, but they couldn't bear to leave Lambis and just left.
Even because it is related to the outcome of the game, it is equivalent to whether Lambis will leave or not to be "decided" in the end, so this mood is completely understandable.
One thing that was expected was that Carter held a pre-match mobilization meeting in the locker room before the game, with the goal of calling on the players to win the game.
"For Cote!"
His final slogan was also unanimously recognized by the Lakers.
Including Sun Hao, he also had serious expressions.
Originally, the game against the Warriors was very important for the Lakers. Now Lambis's incident has only brought the game to a point where he must win.
The team members were excited. What they didn't notice was that Harris and Lambis had just arrived at the door of the locker room at this time.
After hearing the shouts inside, Harris smiled and turned around and patted Lambis on the shoulder.
The two looked at each other and said nothing. Harris canceled his original plan to enter the locker room to boost morale, and then turned around and went to the arena first.
Like the Lakers players, Harris and Lambis have had a great time as colleagues.
He also has to do his best tonight's game.
The Staples Center was full.
Fans have been looking forward to it, and all kinds of Christmas outfits have added a strong Christmas atmosphere to this game.
Christmas battles are the most likely place to have classic games.
But the difference between this game and other Christmas battles is that the game has not started yet, and it has been confirmed to be a classic or even an epic battle.
Traditional basketball, which is what we call big balls, then the Warriors' small balls.
On the full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City!
When the two teams came out of the player channel, the fans seemed to see Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue jumping to the roof, and their excitement suddenly rose.
Especially before the game, Curry imitated Sun Hao's previous attempt to make a long three-pointer in the player channel, the fans were even more excited.
This is not the first time Sun Hao has played against the Warriors since leaving the Warriors, but this should be the closest time that Sun Hao has returned to the Lakers.
Getting close means the outcome is unknown!
And what fans said on social media at this time makes sense.
The previous game between the Bulls and the Lakers was actually not of any reference value at this time.
Because although they are both small balls, the only one who can truly exert the power of the "Death Five Smalls" is still the Warriors.
Or you can understand that the Warriors who have joined the five little ones are now the only one in the league.
So this game is just two words, looking forward to it, looking forward to it!
After a brief pre-game warm-up, the starting lineups on both sides were also released one after another.
The Warriors, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, and Oden.
On the Lakers side, Sun Hao, Jimmy Butler, Carter, Millsap, and Yao Ming.
This starting lineup alone is already very interesting.
Klay Thompson has shown great progress in his sophomore career, and he has shown that he is not only a 3D talent.
