On the afternoon of October 23, American time, there was a dead silence in the clapto rammed the Combe Stadium. There was a silent song lingering in the air, and there was a cannon-like lens in the song, there is a reflective floor in the lens, a reflective head on the floor, a reflective raccoon on the head, a reflective ceiling on the raccoon, and 12 jerseys under the ceiling, there are eyes shooting down from the back of the jersey, which is a view from heaven, and there is no trace of smile–
At the beginning of the 2022-23 season, the Lakers lost three in a row.
They could have won the next victory. In the first game, they lost to the Warriors, which was the defending champion. In the second game, they lost to the Clippers. Their opponents were too big. In the third game, on the opposite side were the pioneers of last year’s fishing partners, Lillard, Simmons, Hart, another three-guard combination makes it difficult to randomly match a more appropriate match than this.
The same is true. When the Lakers entered the last 5 minutes of the game, they played as they imagined. Lebang’s bottom line was cut off by Beverly’s direct dunking. After Zhan Mei’s short block was removed, heavy eyebrows passed the ball to the bottom line of the empty cut Brown layup on the freethrow line position. The next ball, Lebang and Brown give and go pass together, the former is easy to layup, then, after the space was opened, nurkiki played against the high-level Lebang, who accelerated the breakthrough and played 2+1 against Grant’s defense.
The Lakers led by 8 points.
This is a beautiful basketball. Every goal comes from the established tactical cooperation or dislocation strike. Lebang showed the most valuable part of his 31 points today: no ball and basket.
Not long ago on the defensive end, heavy eyebrows just gave nurkiki a top ten ball-level face hat, which was the last of his 6 cap. After completing this cap, the heavy eyebrows stood there and roared with arms. I haven’t seen such a scene for a long time. In the past two years, what we have seen more is that heavy eyebrows crawl on the floor and roar.
But 5 minutes later, the Lakers lost.
Heavy eyebrows said that he could not accept such a defeat. He showed an inexplicable look at the post-match press conference, as if to say: I can score 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2.7 steals 2.3 assists this year, my 2-point shooting rate was 58 percent of the highest in my career. I also played all the games in full force. Before the season, I got the “the real boss of the Lakers” award. As a result, did I lose three consecutive games?
But he must accept it, and what he needs to accept is not only this, but also another fact:
The Lakers are a team with heavy eyebrows, but heavy eyebrows are not the focus of anything about the Lakers. Let’s be frank. Now no one really cares about how heavy eyebrows stand on the court. Compared with the trivial matter of basketball, people care more about when he falls down like in the game or in the past two years.
As Odom, who was once mercilessly abandoned by the Lakers, said, “the Lakers should trade heavily because he is too vulnerable.” I guess many people are in the same mood as me. As long as they have heavy eyebrows falling on the court or slowly stretch their little hands to their slim legs of white silk, our first reaction is that the baby is coming again, and without any sad emotions, because when any kind of disaster first befalls on human beings, we will be sad for it. When these disasters come every three to five, human beings will turn to themselves and feel a little absurd pleasure from them. This is the core of the so-called “Comedy is tragedy”, as long as this comedy does not happen to you.
Of course, I don’t know when to stay. Some more professional fans are used to analyzing the causes of players’ injuries from the perspective of position. For example, heavy eyebrows are arranged to play center, “It will be a pill sooner or later” is no longer a prediction, but a curse. However, I understand that this argument has already gone beyond the understanding of Physiology. It doesn’t matter whether the heavy eyebrows are more than relieve a garrison small defenders or playing in the low back, not to mention the lakers’ demands on the defensive end of heavy eyebrows this season-more contraction and more frame protection, rather than relieve a garrison or supplementary defense for all balls-this seems more like a kind of protection for him.
Of course, this kind of defense strategy is actually the defense rule that the Lakers are going to carry out this season. It is a kind of imitation show of the successful defensive posture of the Bucks in the past few years, Budenholzer, Naus, spoolstra has told us this fact too many times: you can’t prevent everything.
Therefore, they choose to empty a part of the three points and turn to protect the basket, but if you have seen the Lakers’ defense, you will find that coach Ham still has some innovations on this basis, and he all wants them.
The Lakers often put pressure on the ball holder to arrange defense AIDS and pinch attacks when they treat the high and flank-initiated gear splits, forcing the ball out and then seizing the route by the front line, the result is that the Lakers have the highest average number of steals in the league so far, and the corresponding result is the error rate that forces the most opponents, the final result they gained was that among all the teams that had played 3 games, the defensive efficiency was the first.
You must have heard this conclusion many times, and you must have heard the Lakers’ defense 3C principles: Containment (Contain), Competition (Contest), and Control (Control). Oh, you haven’t heard it, but you should have some impression on the word Contest, isn’t that what the hammer coach with a bag gave on-the-spot guidance to this group of players with an average age of 29.9 years old in the league on coaching board: competition, but don’t foul (Contest,no foul). You think these pieces of soup can only be heard on the side of Tongxi in Nanjing, but now you find that NBA is just like this.
But the Lakers’ defense didn’t get much praise, because these defensive data were often accompanied by the unattractive data on the other end of the court: their offensive efficiency was 97.2 points at the bottom of the league, there is still a gap of nearly 7 points from the Clippers in the second-to-last place, and the last time in the league, the team’s offensive efficiency was less than 100 points, which dates back to Philadelphia 8 years ago, that was shortly after the beginning of the “belief process.
When you see the way the Lakers defend, you should know very well that their ideal way of attacking should be anti-rebellion, but unfortunately, among the three teams they met, warriors and Clippers are both teams with the best defensive conversion, so we can see that the conversion efficiency of the Lakers after three games is 0.949 points, and the conversion efficiency of the league’s penultimate difference is only higher than that of the piston.
And when the game enters the ground war, the Hammer gives the Lakers the highest instruction:
Please give three points without complaint or regret.
Then the Lakers cast the three points you saw.
After the first game, Lebang said that the Lakers did not have elite shooters. As for so many seats they got in the Warriors competition, “I don’t know if Warriors let us.”
Lebang has been playing in the league for 19 years and half a month. How could he not know which balls were created by himself and which balls were played by opponents. Soon the Clippers proved Lebang’s conjecture in the second game. When defending the Lakers, they had already started to defend with rim as the center, RIM to freethrow line as the long circle, the distance between this arc and three point line is about 1.8 meters, but everyone does not forget the original intention to continue to shoot three points, so inadvertently they approach the historical record:
In the history of the league, there have been 6100 times when a team made more than 100 outside shots in three games. In 2018, the Eagles made the worst hit rate of 21% in history, the Lakers have shot 118 three points in the past three games, with a hit rate.
Food, and enjoy it.
After the second game, the reporter asked the hammer coach if you were struggling like three points, did you hit the trap of your opponent’s defensive strategy?
Hammer guidance is very tough. He said the Lakers must stick to the three-point punch: “We just need to deal with our own problems. This is the way we want to play. If they give us a chance, we will accept it all.”
Hammer guidance is also guaranteed by his 26 years of NBA experience. He said that players need encouragement and positive energy to maintain confidence. “The worst thing is to hesitate or not to shoot in the face of vacancy. I hope my people will keep confidence. I believe in them and I believe they will invest in it.”
But after the third game, when the Blazers used nurkich to play against Wei at the last moment, when Wei Zhong threw a three-point in the more vacuum defensive environment on the streets of the sea in April, then, with 30 seconds left in the game and 18 seconds left in the attack time, the team lost a middle distance by 1 time-sharing, and the hammer guide finally put down his encouragement and positive energy:
“Hold it! This is an opportunity given to you by your opponent!”
Translate: Fuck you!
You can’t blame the misdemeanor of Hammer guidance too much. People who have experienced enough understand that people with positive energy often know that they are just helpless.
Before the season began, Hammer guidance looked at the people in the training camp and made the following remarks:
Wei Shao is in our team, I am extremely excited
James is not from the Earth
Nunn performance level
AD can easily enter MVP discussion after playing 65 games.
Reeves has always performed well.
Damian Jones can jump to the ceiling
We have many starting candidates.
Panther weishao combination will be very wonderful after the game
Our team has strong sports ability.
Vogel’s is a phenomenal coach
Hammer guidance also announced that “we Lakers are already at the starting line”. Now three games have passed, and this sentence sounds like another version of the “fortunately Lakers were the first to prepare for 2023, after all, the hammer guide did not say which year this was the starting line.
If you watch the ball carefully enough, you will find that there is one of the biggest similarities between the lakers and waterbirds. Whether they are ahead or behind, their manager will show a big white teeth and smile confidently, give each player a high five and shout, “Come on, you can, I believe you, it doesn’t matter if you shoot……”
The only difference is that waterbirds win 2 and lose 1, and the Lakers lose 3 in a row. The record makes the smiling Willy-green look prepared confidently sure to win, but makes the same smiling hammer guide look like a tram fool.
But it’s still the same sentence. You don’t know how many times he has practiced this kind of smile in front of the mirror alone on a dark night for a person who shows positive energy on various occasions, what’s more, this is in the territory of Hollywood, and you inevitably want to play it. The tactical concept of Hammer guidance may not be too wrong. What is wrong is his lineup on the court.
To be superficial, this is obviously not Wei Zhong’s fault. This Lakers attack can be at the bottom, not because they have a garbage shooter in the starting line-up is enough to explain-sorry, as far as projection is concerned, all the Lakers in the squad are rubbish.
Of course, you can do something else besides shooting three points, but if you put a Beverly with field goal percentage and only 20% in the starting line-up, put in another power of field goal percentage and only 2 to 9. There is no room for maneuver when you attack at this level. There is no 3D in your lineup, your lineup is just a DD-all opponents will praise the conclusion of Hammer guidance: “The Panther weishao combination will be very wonderful in the future.”
However, the real hidden danger is probably not attacking, because their attack is already rotten, and rebound is a matter of time, things that really have the effect of paralysis and confusion appear on their defense strategies that look good now:
The Lakers essentially misappropriated the defense strategy of the Raptors. Nass emphasized fast bag clip on the defensive end, getting on the body, catching mistakes and fighting back. This was because they piled up a pile of front-court long-hand long-legged front line monsters with uniform height, their arm show and stride length determine that they can stretch freely on the defensive end.
While the Lakers used three short men and a 38-year-old man to imitate this kind of defense, and another glass man to do the inner axis. Yes, their defensive enthusiasm is really good, the speed is not bad either, but the static coverage area of their individual defense is insufficient, which eventually leads to their poor defensive scalability, and they use three short men to dig the ball of the opponent’s forward, as a result, it is difficult to form an effective counterattack even if it is robbed. Therefore, the only remaining hope for the Lakers to change is those rounds led by Lebang and participated by heavy eyebrows.
Follow-up of the previous round
What I doubt more is that the crazy rotation, bag clip and upstarts are likely to cause the Lakers to fall into physical problems on the offensive side. We often say that the defense drives the attack, which often drives the conversion attack, while the excessive consumption of the defensive end may not bring more help to the positional warfare attack, especially the peripheral projection. Therefore, on the Lakers’ side, defense dragging down the attack is a possible assumption.
The Lakers may need to make a callback on the overly active defensive defense, or they may need to make some deals to change the current situation that their lineup is full of too many DD, they can also put a DD on the bench first. Of course, the optimal solution will be a Knight’s “Now we are too fucking decent” trade in 2018. I don’t know where this kind of trade fair will appear and how it will be achieved. What’s more, we know that after the Knight reached that kind of trade, it didn’t suddenly become like the sky was destroyed, they just took a path almost opposite to what they are now: Extreme space and attack, and historically poor defense.
The reason why the Knight finally set foot on glory in 2018 was that man.
Now, this man has been in Los Angeles for 4 years, his movie has been smashed, and his competition is unlikely to get better. His career has entered the twilight years, his ending has been written by himself. In this ending, there is no longer another champion or another journey of personal heroism. What he is going to finish is a 1 million-word novel, however, to finish a novel, what is needed is not skill, but persistence and ambition.
We all know that at this node of this man’s career, any honor in a single season is no longer the object he pursued without any distractions. He said “the team is a heavy eyebrow” at the earliest. I believe this is true, of course, the team is also his tool and a train that is about to derail. He will not jump because as long as he is still sitting in the car, he himself can safely reach the last God, there is a towering monument with the number 38387 engraved on it.
However, after all, this competition needs to be presented in the form of 82 games in the season. Every year, he needs to show enough occupation, unlike Hammer guidance, which has been in the league for 26 years but may still have some dreams, he has already jumped out of the three boundaries and is not in the five elements. Although he is still playing basketball, but it is no longer playing pure basketball.
There is no need to blame this absolute basketball old man too much. Curry was also Frank last year, and he was really confused before he was about to reach a record of three points in history. We can’t say that this man will be in a mess before the great glory is coming, but at least he can’t keep his heart like water, but he still needs to play a role that may be tiny in his current career-the Lakers striker in 82 games in another ordinary season. Seeing him sitting there saying that he would never comment on weishao’s actions, “I am not the kind of person who stabbed his teammates in the back”, I couldn’t help showing a smile, a cunning middle-aged man, although he also knows that this is a kind of hypocrisy and show, he still needs to play a role that he thinks others will value and use vague words to reveal his true intention.
This is an inertia. If you have done this for a long time, and you think this is the right value-maintaining teammates, instilling positive energy, always smile and face difficulties-for a person, the values you always believe or are instilled in will make you as heavy as lead. How many times do you want to turn around and let go of everything and scold, you can return to the public, you will still queue up in the crowd who perform correctly, play correctly and continue correctly until the new correctness is confirmed, and the new long queue will wait for you to line up. In these long queues, everyone keeps a distance from everyone, but everyone knows that everyone is the same person, which will make you feel safe, and of course it will also make the hammer guide and the man feel safe.
On October 23, American time, on the day when the Lakers lost three in a row, they opened the old yellow calendar and wrote clearly that it was the frost day, the 18th solar term of the 24 solar terms and the last solar term of autumn, the Sun and yellow scriptures are 210 °, and they can enter the Sun, the Sun enters the ground, the yin qi begins to condense, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, it is appropriate to clean up, avoid digging holes, add clothes in time, my friend, because autumn is followed by winter, the days ahead will only get colder and colder.
