Three wins in a row when the core and old Zhan shine no conflict kill trick was pinched when the old man is still the card

For the first time in 14 years, the Lakers have won three straight games to open a season。In the past three seasons, the Lakers have played a total of nine games in the first three games and are 2-7。The Lakers fans were in tears. The Lakers started with disappointment every year and finally changed the script this year。

It is still too early to say "the dawn of Los Angeles", but it must be admitted that the new handsome Redick did bring new content after taking office, the Lakers to Anthony Davis as the core of the offensive and defensive play to help them have hit the Timberwolves, the Sun two hard bones。

What will the Lakers do when the Kings come up with a strategy to limit their kills？They also have lebron James。

The Lakers' three-game winning streak proves that Davis as the core of the offense and defense does not conflict with James。When no one can stop Davis, the off-ball version of James is the strongest aid。When Davis is limited, the ball version of James is the Lakers' card。

From the preseason to the first two games of the regular season, it is observed that Redick's transformation of the Lakers has begun to show results:

Davis was established as the core of the offense and defense, and his ball usage rate was a record 33 in the first two games.5%。From the holding time, the number of shots and other data, Davis in the offensive side of the ultra-high participation, he is not only the end point, but also the response point, Redick that "more let Davis like Jokic like to play" promise is not a blank check。

James played more without the ball, as far as possible to seize the counter-attack opportunity to speed up, the position battle more than play pick-and-roll screen and bottom corner empty cut hands, the first two games of its goal assist rate reached 57.1%。

Cut D 'Angelo - Russell's possession of the ball, the fourth quarter decisive moment dare to abandon Russell, strengthen the defense, will concentrate more ball in the hands of Reeves。Reeves and Davis pick-and-roll gradually become the Lakers position battle kill, and the Sun war reflected the most obvious。

Develop the use of Hachimura 塁, increase the minutes of backup center Hays, and occasionally exploit the size advantage of Hays + Davis + forward (James or Hachimura 塁)。Improved the emphasis on offensive rebound, in addition to Davis and Hayes, Hempura 塁 and Reeves on offensive rebound enthusiasm to improve the most obvious。At the same time, the Lakers around the center, the rookie Knecht played more shooter tactics, Knecht around the pile catch and throw round every round, can play on the court。

Including the time to call timeout, the time to challenge, Redick and the new Lakers coaching staff are impeccable。

Against the Kings, the Lakers faced their biggest challenge since the start of the season。

This is the second game of the Lakers back-to-back, the last game they just completed a big reversal against the Sun, physical red light。The Kings, one of the league's fastest teams, had a day off after the opener。

Mike Brown and the coaching staff clearly studied the film of the Lakers' first two games and made specific arrangements。

The basic strategy of the king is to use around the front, half around the front to prevent Davis from catching the ball, the Lakers think too simple, a few times to feed the ball is either directly broken, or almost broken, Davis is not good at the ball position, the first three quarters most of the time lethality is not as good as the first two games。

In the Reeves and Davis led the team period, the king will pick and roll change, combined defense use together。Junior Sabonis continued to prevent Davis from catching the ball, and outside lines Fox and Keegan Murray put pressure on Reeves, reducing Davis' offensive threat and increasing Reeves' offensive difficulty and turnover rate。

Reeves and Davis in the first game against the Sun, the pick-and-roll move was abandoned, coupled with Christie helped a succession of screen fouls, the ball error, the Lakers were constantly hit back, in trouble。

When things do not decide on the old Zhan, Redick also understood the happiness of Lu's guidance - give the ball to the old Zhan for a while, and always give the old Zhan a straight。

James is about to turn 40 years old, from Hamm to Redick know to let James play more without the ball, reduce its burden。With James' basketball IQ and evolution, switching between offense with the ball and offense without the ball is as easy as eating and drinking water。Let James play most of the first three quarters without the ball, and then take over the ball at key moments, which is the experiment done in the Hamm era, and Redick continued after taking office。

We all marveled at James' 16-point performance in the fourth quarter, but in fact, James' solo show began in the final three and a half minutes of the third quarter。At the end of the third quarter, when the Lakers were behind, James made a strong three-point shot on a pick-and-roll and a drive to play 2+1。

In the fourth quarter, James showed his all-around skill to the fullest

The top of the arc receives eight villages 塁 point shot a fixed point three;

With Hayes after the pick and roll emergency stop shot;

Running without the ball to catch a layup in a stuck position under the basket;

Receiving Russell to block the breakaway ball after the point three;

After the pick and roll break assists Hayes storm buckle;

Holding singles for Sabonis Jr.

Baseline cut left hand backhand pull bar layup;

Zhan Mei create dislocation after the pick-and-roll, break through the assist Davis storm button;

Or Zhan Mei hit the ground pass to assist Davis to attack the basket;

Still Zhan Mei pick and roll, this time Davis use James was double-teamed time to cut outside hit three points;

Play pick-and-roll screen man after fake screen down catch, hit the ground assist eight village 塁 dunk。

Of those 11 possessions, James had six possessions with the ball and five possessions without the ball。There are several people in the league who can take into account both possession and absence of the ball, individual scoring and organization like old James？

Thinking back to Redick's interpretation of how to use James after taking office, everything makes sense。

"Playing James off the ball doesn't mean he doesn't have the ball, he can play as a screen, catch the ball in certain positions, pass the ball or score。James did。

"We don't need him to push the ball every time, run pick-and-rolls, that's not the way we want to play offensively。But at the key moment, James holding the ball with enough physical strength is still the bottom card, especially Zhan Mei pick-and-roll。

After three straight wins, Hachimura sighed "we have a system", which is a praise for Redick and the new coaching staff。

And James, he's a system。
