The situation of star players playing substitutes can be basically divided into three types: 1. The ability declines due to age or injury 2. The team makes strategic adjustments 3. The players first find the feeling of the game after returning from injury, constantly adjust the game status.
The first case is applicable to most senior generals, such as melon and Howard. The team leader who once acted independently declined due to his age, and his body would not lie. If he wanted to continue to establish a foothold in the league, he had to change to serve as a substitute.
Oladipo once became the new leader of Pacers before being reimbursed for the rotator cuff tear season in his right knee. He was badly hurt and fell. He continued to shine as a hot substitute in the playoffs last season. The damn injury made some players gradually become substitutes from “Jordan successor”, team leader, star player and main starting, the ability decline directly caused by age and injury is undoubtedly one of the important reasons that affect players from starting to replacing.
The second situation belongs to the macro strategic adjustment of the team, and the most obvious case is Ginobili in Spurs.
In the 2004-05 season, Ginobili started all 74 games and was selected as the All-Star substitute. In the 2007-08 season, 51 of Ginobili’s 74 games were substitutes, and he was elected as the sixth person of the year, in the 2010-11 season, Ginobili was adjusted from the bench to the starting line-up Popovich baby. He played 79 starts in 80 games and was selected as the All-Star substitute and the best three again.
That is to say, Ginobili obviously has the hard power to play the first, but among the starting lineup in the heyday of Spurs GDP, Parker is used as a block and take off the ball, and Duncan can act as an axis in the low, elbow and high positions, ginobili, as the ace leader of Argentina, can both organize and end. The GDP trio can handle the ball in the starting lineup while the bench lacks commanders.
Popovich baby from the perspective of the team’s macro strategy, integrating resources and making the decision of Ginobili to play a substitute, fully gave him the freest way to play in the second squad.
The most representative figure in the third situation is none other than Curry. This year’s playoff Warriors VS Nuggets all played as substitutes in the first round of the first round, until the first round of G5. Cole accepted after G2 in the first round: “He is curry, as long as he wants, he can return to the starting at any time”.
Curry selflessly gave the starting position to Poole, who was in a hot state. The top superstar at peak period played a substitute for the team, which was selfless and rare in the world.
Playing the substitute may be caused by both the needs of the players and the team. If Curry can play the substitute, then any player in the league can play the substitute, and playing the substitute is not shameful at all!
Wei shao’s replacement is a small adjustment and positive attempt by the lakers new coach ham. After all, it is the primary goal of the lakers at this stage to make good use of leblanc’s tail during the peak period. Maximizing the power of the current lineup is also the top priority of the lakers.
The character and attitude of “Tang suit Wei Shao” are impeccable. However, with the development of modern basketball, especially in the era when small balls are popular, Wei Shao, as the No. 1 first place, does have unavoidable technical shortcomings.
Last season, weishao’s contribution to attack victory was-0.6, which was specifically shown as: the opponent defended weishao to take off the ball, and all of them used bypass cover to go off the line, directly empty weishao when holding the ball in COSCO cast outside restricted area near the basket; Weishao when playing without the ball ambush in downtown, directly ignored by the opponent’s strategic empty-it shows that bullying today’s weishao lacks stable projection ability, the No. 1 first place in the small ball era had no basket, which directly hurt the team’s offensive space. The opponent could empty the space and carry out partial defense with less defense, which also virtually increased the defensive pressure Zhan Mei faced.
Wei Shao used to be the core way to play with the ball. Last season, he played three-point shot percentage of the Lakers without the ball and squatted at the bottom corner, which was obviously not feasible. The Lakers also tried to let Wei Shao be the host player: he made a total of 295 mistakes last season, including 190 mistakes in passing and 67 mistakes in losing the ball. Wei Shao’s ability to hold the ball near the basket last season dropped significantly, many times the empty basket did not enter and the dunk hit the fly, which made “trading Wei Shao” rush to Twitter hot search-Wei Shao’s most embarrassing thing in the Lakers last season was that he was ignored by his opponent when he played no ball, the effect of holding the ball to control the field is not as good as that of Leblanc. Both he and LeBlanc need the ball right in hand to maximize their power, this overlapping demand for ball holding attributes also indirectly causes waste and redundancy of resources when weishao and LeBlanc are present at the same time.
Weishao’s own technical shortcomings and the existence of LeBlanc make it theoretically feasible for Dewei to play less substitute. From the perspective of the integration and redistribution of ball holding resources and team strategy, weishao’s playing substitute is not a bad thing for individuals and teams.
In the 2016-17 season, weishao perfectly demonstrated the most suitable mode of play in the first 30 + three double seasons in his career: the usage rate of the ball rights in the whole season was 41.7%, the first in the history of a single season, unlimited ball rights, big bag; Thunder didn’t have the pressure of record. Wei Shao took Adams, Oladipo, Gibson, Robertson, and little Sabonis to gallop freely. All the stars of the team held Wei Shao in the spotlight center and enjoyed it, the unrestrained weishao’s contribution to victory in a single season is as high as +13.1.
Last season’s contribution to the victory of Wei Shao was only +1.7, which was very different from the 2016-17 season. He and Zhan Mei did not start at the same time. The Lakers want to give Wei Shao a chance to play faster and freer in the second squad, which is similar to the autonomy Rondo gained in the 19-20 season. We can feel the original intention of the Lakers and Ham: I want him to play without restraint and regain the wind and fire.
The new season is weishao’s contract year, and he needs to work hard for the next contract to perform well. Compared with the last season when no ball was played in the starting line-up, holding the ball and looking forward and backward at Zhan Mei, it is an opportunity and challenge to replace the substitute with a new independent environment, the Derek-rose transformation substitute with similar technical style is still shining and heating in the alliance, which undoubtedly provides weishao with the most demonstrative success case.
Wei Shao’s playing substitute is in line with the test expectation of the Lakers’ strategic adjustment and the development trend of the small ball. No stable projection ability in the first position is hard injury, and the space on the court is the top priority in modern basketball competition. Remove weishao, Beverly (34.3%), Nunn (38.1%), Schroeder (32.8%), the last season of the game is three-point shot percentage better than the last season of weishao, weishao is easier to play his advantage in the second lineup.
The test and fine-tuning of weishao’s play of substitute can make the Lakers start and substitute team play the effect of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. In theory, it will be a feasible positive attempt in the future.
No matter how weishao performs in the new season, his contract expires in the last year, which makes the Lakers have no pressure and can try as much as possible.
The trading window has not been completely closed. The Lakers still have the possibility of sending Wei Shao away before the trading deadline next year. The existence of Beverly and Schroeder makes Wei Shao have a back hand, at this stage, the Lakers are actually racking their brains to take advantage of the value of good Wei in the last year of the Lakers.
Wei Shao averaged 22.2 points and 11.7 points to help 11.5 boards in the Wizards. At that time, he was the “little sweet” in the eyes of the Lakers; And today he has become the “cow lady” who is easy to send God to God “, this is by no means the fault of Wei Shao himself. The technical shortcomings of his career have long been known to all. The mistake itself caused the overlapping redundancy between him and LeBlanc’s double ball holding core, as well as weishao’s own technical characteristics and the big core playing method of holding the ball for more than ten years, it cannot be compatible with LeBlanc through no ball, and unsuitable players are forced to combine together, finally, it caused a waste of combat resources in the 47.06 million salary space of the Lakers, which was hard to return.
If weishao is placed in the weak team as a single core, this 47.06 million salary may bring rich box office returns and media attention. What exists is reasonable. There are no bad players in this world, only the system and environment that are not suitable for him. Utilitarian pursuit of a result, while ignoring the agreement between things themselves, the Lakers introduced Wei Shao to form the three giants and finally officially declared their failure in the form of replacement.
Whether starting or replacing, they are all playing to contribute to the team. There is no difference between high and low, and it is good to be ordinary.
