I believe everyone has the same feeling in this World War I: is this still the Lakers I know? Smooth and efficient, with three points of defense-fantasy, it is really fantastic!
The Lakers took out their strongest starting line-up, with strong eyebrows + Lao Zhan + Fan Debiao + Beasley + Russell. All five people on the field have a three-point range. The whole starting line-up has both the height and the projection ability, which can be described as a combination of attack and defense.
The replacement team Banba + eight villages + Brown + Reeves + Schroeder, five up and five down, and ten people rotate in non-garbage time. The depth of the Lakers’s lineup has improved significantly after the mid-season trading. Ham has reason to sigh: he has never played such a rich Battle!
The presentation of the game also met the expectations of the Lakers for this lineup. Fan Debiao’s death wrapped around Ingram, and the defensive end gave the opponent’s ace star a huge force of oppression; The heavy eyebrows arch top hand-in-hand control, beasley’s ball-free walking position drifts three points directly around the pile, which is confident and arrogant; Russell and Beasley send air relay to heavy eyebrows one after another, connecting with tacit understanding and integrating seamlessly.
The defensive and projection confidence that has been bothering the Lakers has improved significantly before. With the return of Lao Zhan, the team strength of the Lakers is not what it used to be.
The lakers started 12-2 with a smooth and new attack, and this long-lost sense of fluency was even “tearful”.
Lao zhan played the leading role in the first 6 minutes. Russell and beasley played the main role of no ball and played two fixed-point shooters who opened the space.
This model is close to the winning lineup in 2020. At that time, Lao Zhan became the point guard. He sent 10.2 assists to be elected as the league assistant King in the season. The Lakers flanked two 3D fixed three-point players, Tielin and Popper. The brothers ambushed outside the arch guard, Zhan Mei, and stood there, you dare not let it go!
Now, Russell and Beasley are playing as space-opening Shooters. Zhan Mei Middle Road Block takes off his hand. Once Pelican strikes, lao zhan and heavy eyebrows assisted russell in hitting a gap of three points at 45 degrees on both wings one after another-russell has three-point shot percentage 38.7% this season, and wistow, schroder and beverly have been strategically empty by opponents in this season, nowadays, the lakers have two points that russell and beasley cannot empty, which directly play a strategic role in opening space for zhan mei.
The defense encountered by the lakers in the past was the extreme contraction of the five-person congestion restricted area near the basket. Now zhan mei has room to work. The middle road of zhan mei’s shield and the shooter’s ambush are like two bottles of poison testing the opponent’s defense choice.
Russell and Beasley not only showed excellent projection ability, but also provided the right-hand hand handling ability of Lao Zhan.
The lakers’ thinking of positional warfare is very clear: zhan mei blocked and dismantled, and lao zhan’s breakthrough creation was the principle axis initiated by tactics, russell and Beasley, who were ambushed in the periphery, made a second start decision or shot or burst after receiving Old Zhan’s pass, which were two options for the Lakers. Both of them played an impromptu empty connection with heavy eyebrows, the first attack system of the lakers is three-dimensional and hierarchical.
The Lakers replacement team has Schroder + Banba block split two people turn to start, Schroder is the main attack with the ball, and the deputy attack is the back dislocation of the eight villages, strong eating or noodle basket holding the ball dry pull jump shot, brown and rives play the role of ball-free shooter.
Banba can smoothly play outside in the shield and disassembly. His three-point shot percentage this season is 39.8%(1.1/2.7), which can be used as a tactical endpoint of the space battery. Although 0 in the third quarter of this game, but his three-point vote will be the regular option for the Lakers to open up space in the future substitute lineup.
Banba only reached the age of 25 in May this year. The advantage is that the height, arm length and physical quality are good, and the defensive model is placed there; The disadvantages are also obvious, easy to eat and shake, be fouled, it is not good enough to choose the position of anti-blocking, after all, it is young and the defensive experience is not old enough. As a substitute for heavy eyebrows, every game will digest the rotation time of 12-16 minutes in the future. As long as you don’t make mistakes frequently, you will pass.
The current defense strategy of the Lakers is very clear. The peripheral Russell, Beasley, and Fan Debiao bypass or squeeze through the cover to bite the ball holder. The heavy eyebrows and Banba will shrink and retreat by potty chair, the bottom corner and the wing side shrink the defense card, and strive to protect the penalty area, let the thick eyebrows and Banba act as the last gate of the team’s defense in the starting line-up and the second line-up respectively.
There are two lines of defense inside and outside, which are made up before and after, with clear levels.
Most pelicans attacked the Lakers through high gear to get cheaper, aiming at heavy eyebrows and Bamba shrinking by potty chair, with the help of the middle road block, pick up the leak in the middle distance or attract the Lakers to shrink, and then shoot three points in the two wings and bottom corner. The Lakers also knew that the Pelicans would break through and directly attack the encirclement and suppression.
The Lakers have been adopting a relatively conservative anti-blocking and dismantling strategy this season. The reason is also very simple. They don’t want heavy eyebrows, the only reliable and reliable defensive barrier, to leave the penalty area. The substitute Gabriel’s slim and long protective basket has limited ability. Now the substitute has Banba, and the front line has Fan Debiao, eight villages, and Brown, who are close to the opponent’s trump card, and the Lakers’ defense strength has improved a level.
In the same defense system, in the past, the guard group was short and small on the periphery, with a lot of holes; Nowadays, with defensive talents, the pressure feeling is also very different, the lakers have enough confidence to defend against ingram and mccolum with individual soldiers.
The most iconic defensive scene of the Lakers: eight villages single defense Ingram, heavy eyebrows behind the defense large hat. Before, Fan Debiao and Ingram were inseparable. After the eight villages, there were Brown’s counterpositions Ingram — Fan Debiao, the eight villages, and Brown’s three fronts relay forward and backward at the defensive end, the Lakers have their own defensive chains that they can get.
In the middle of the season, the Lakers enhanced the depth of the attack line and improved the short board of projection. At the same time, they ensured that there were players besides Lao Zhan. From every game in the past, the thrilling “everyone is five to five”, now in the case that Lao Zhan only played 29 minutes and 13 seconds, he can have a long-lost clock-in-out in advance, which is undoubtedly the most direct embodiment of the depth of the Lakers lineup.
In the 59th game of the season, the Lakers finally found a winning mode that met their expectations: Zhan Mei led the team with three points and defense. A scientific and reasonable modern lineup is really important!
Seeing the efficiency and smoothness of the Lakers today, it is easier to understand how difficult the Lakers were in the past. There are 3.5 wins from the sixth place in the west, and there are still 23 games left. Remember to think hard, and rush up with the memory of past suffering!
