The Lakers won only one game, just like winning the championship, because it was not easy to win one game.
The Lakers beat the Nuggets 121-110 and won the first win in the new season. It is the first time in the history of the Lakers to become the last team to win the first victory. However, the significance of this game is not limited to winning the first victory, but also to finding the correct way to open the “Big Three.
The correct way is:
First, Wei Shao played a substitute;
Second, after the appearance of Wei Shao, more possession of the ball was given to him;
Third, attack with guards.
This is the best rotation method for the existing lineup. Although I suggested Wei Shao to play a substitute as early as a year ago, it is not easy to invite these big stars who have taken MVP to the bench, it took him less than do-win a year to make up his mind. He only used two games to let him taste the joy of playing basketball again.
All the Lakers stood up and applauded Wei Shao’s performance. Indeed, there has been no chemical reaction in the “three Giants” for more than a year. Although the first victory came late, it pointed out the direction for future competitions. It seems that if there are no special circumstances, wei Shao will continue to play the substitute.
It’s nothing to play a substitute. These two substitutes have played for more than 31 minutes, but the control of ball power is much more than before. In the past, Wei Shao would honestly hide aside and wait for the ball. Occasionally, the ball was in his hand and let him control it, which would make him nervous. It seemed that it was his sin that he couldn’t cooperate this time. He often worried that he could not enter three points, or that the jump shot was too short, the more he worried that he could not enter.
Last year, I proposed weishao as a substitute, in order to separate him from James as much as possible and avoid being present at the same time for a long time. If James is not around, he will play more freely, push faster or attack the basket with the ball. However, it is difficult for you to separate for a long time when you start. Wei Shao is often like a child who has lost a toy, standing on the weak side downtown with a lost face.
For the first time, weishao is much better. Three positive and negative values of the four substitutes including him are positive, weishao is 0, and the first one is negative. Without Davis, the Lakers could not win the Timberwolves with two towers, but the game was less well received, and the coach and James were full of praise for him.
In order to win the first victory, Davis, who should have continued to recover, gritted his teeth and scored 11 points with 100% efficiency in the first quarter, which made a good start for the Nuggets. At the end of the game, Davis’s waist injury broke out again, but he refrained from ending up. After the game, he said that there would be a rest for the next two days, which should be much better. He would try his best to play in the next game.
After Wei Shao played the substitute, James was more determined in the first stage, but the effect was different in the upper and lower half. In the first section, 0 in the fourth section, each layup was not entered, and the third section was very accurate at the beginning. Without Wei Shao, James didn’t have to look forward to his future. He wanted to bring Davis and Wei Shao. Now, the first half of the ball only needs to “serve” Davis well, and the choice on the court becomes much easier.
It was much easier after Wei Shao came on stage. When he came up, the “big three” would play the same game first, and then James would go down. During this time, James would let Wei Shao control the ball more. For the Nuggets, Wei Shao assisted 8 times, two of which were given to James, one was to pass the straight plug and lay the basket, and the other was to spread three points. Next, James left the court, and he took four people who did not hold the ball, sometimes Davis, and sometimes just four other substitutes.
The third section of Nuggets fully shows the power of this rotation. In the first paragraph, Zhan Mei played the main role and successfully pulled the score apart. Then the Nuggets played three points like rain and regained their advantages. Finally, Wei Shao appeared. They played 13-0 and regained the initiative.
The final result was that the “three Giants” jointly scored 67 points, and the number less than ccvitt was very auspicious: 18 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, plus or minus +18.
This was a very auspicious beginning. Wei Shao gave him a substitute and basketball immediately gave him a reward. This kind of positive energy helps to further stimulate Wei Shao, and then he will be full of fighting spirit.
But this is just a victory. Compared with those strong teams, the Lakers still have many problems: they are the team with the worst three points and the team with the least offensive scores, they are teams with seriously insufficient internal rotation. They will still lose, but now at least they see the light at the end of the tunnel.
