Chapter 1014 The vacancy of the 4th position is urgent for the Lakers
With 39 wins and 8 losses, the Lakers have lost their first place in the Western Conference, and even their second place in the Western Conference is no longer safe.
The West is not the East, and competition here has always been fierce.
If this is not enough, it can also be understood that it was just that they won too much during that period, so the team needs to make some adjustments. Look at the Cavaliers, didn't they also lose consecutively after 20+ consecutive wins? Of course the Lakers
That’s okay, but don’t be too harsh.
Now all Los Angeles fans are very tolerant. After all, 30+ consecutive wins is really not easy.
The Lakers players are not robots and need to relax and adjust.
But the defeat on February 1st was a bit hard to accept, because the Los Angeles Lakers actually lost to the New York Knicks, who are currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Although the "Zen Master" has taken over the Big Apple, it seems that
The effect was not good, and his disciple Derek Fisher could not implement his "triangle model" into the team.
In addition, Anthony's patience has long been exhausted, so this team has basically begun to fail.
"Zen Master" somewhat overestimated himself, and also somewhat overestimated Carmelo Anthony.
The former is a coaching legend, but this does not mean that he can also play management roles. This is why Buss always opposed the "Zen Master" joining the Lakers management team. Again, the same sentence,
When it comes to the way he looks at people, Old Buss is really super vicious. He rarely looks the wrong way. Moreover, the latter, that is, Melo Anthony, wants him to be the "flying man" and "black man" of the New York Knicks.
"Mamba" is a joke.
Anthony's career-ending ability is far inferior to these two, and his killer statistics may be acceptable, but this does not mean that his key goals are always safe. Especially when the team needs him to score consecutive points and singles, his ability cannot be sustained.
If this kind of super end point does not exist, then the "Zen Master" triangle offense is just a joke, not much different from Winter's version of the triangle offense. All changes have lost their effect and meaning.
Then, this is also a big problem, that is, Anthony, as a person, has no defense, no defense, no defense, okay???
Note, this does not mean that Anthony's defense is bad. He can actually maintain a very good defense within a certain period of time and a short period of time, especially single defense, which is above the standard, but...
If you can't stand him up, he's just "intermittent defense". Similar to James' "intermittent shooter", he is sometimes very good defensively and sometimes not very well, and it's obvious that he's not very good at many times. He hasn't been like this in his entire career.
A defensive lineup, what else is there to say?
So this year's Knicks team was before the start of the season, and people were full of fantasies and longings. Until now, basically not many people have any enthusiasm anymore.
And a team like the Lakers has lost. The opponent temporarily put Anthony at the power forward position. As a result, it worked wonders. Anthony's shooting was originally nothing else in history. When he was pulled out and mismatched, the Lakers' side
They almost didn't collapse, and "Little Melon" scored 50 points in the whole game! In the end, they lost by 4 points, and unfortunately lost to Madison Square Garden.
With 4 consecutive losses and 39 wins and 9 losses, the Lakers are now on the verge of losing their second place in the Western Conference.
This means that the first group has grown bigger now, otherwise it would have been knocked back to its original shape long ago if it had lost so many games in a row.
The latest MVP list was also announced in the early morning. Tang Qian, who had finally reached the top of the list last week, suddenly fell to fourth place!!! I don't know if this was "intentional", but this
The four-game losing streak for a period of time must have had a big impact on the impression.
Many Hu Mi and Tang Mi in the country became anxious. They did not expect that the Lakers team suddenly collapsed, as if it was about to collapse. The previous sweep was invincible, and the shadows were nowhere to be seen. Of course, there were also many sunspots, deformed Mi, and stands.
They came out and ridiculed the Lakers, and there were other nonsense about "karma and retribution" that flooded the screen. It really showed the dark side of human nature at once. That means that when the Lakers lost, they were better than the others.
A meal that makes you feel high and happy.
This situation, this description, if you are a true fan of a certain team, you will definitely have similar feelings.
Of course, the situation cannot continue like this, otherwise the Lakers are likely to have a season that will be famous in NBA history. This is certainly not what the Lakers and Tang Qian wanted, so the day after losing to the Knicks
, the team held a team meeting in New York City.
The problem now is obvious. Two generals were lost at the 4th position, one is the absolute main force and the other is the main substitute. Moreover, they probably don’t know when they will be able to come back. Maybe it is normal for the season to be completely canceled. This kind of situation is normal.
If the situation arises, you must think of something else to do, otherwise there will be unimaginable consequences.
"I have shown you the clips of the highlights of these four games, and the most important problems have also surfaced." Mike D'Antoni said: "At position 4, we have a huge flaw. I hope you
During this time, everyone can talk about their thoughts and express their opinions." Everyone said a lot, but there was not much usefulness overall. Most of them were some nutritious nonsense, which all sounded funny.
.
Mike D'Antoni also shook his head, but he was not planning to put too much hope in it. According to his idea, it is better to temporarily put a smaller man in the 4th position, so that he can continue to speed up and increase offense and defense.
The rhythm of the transition will prevent points lost on the defensive end from being lost on the offensive end and unable to make up for them.
But not every team meeting will be useful. Otherwise, as long as there is a losing streak, everyone can happily have a meal and have a closed-door meeting to solve everything? In reality, how can it be so easy?
On February 4th, U.S. time, the Lakers started their 49th regular season game of the 2014-15 season. Their opponent was the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks played well this season and reached the playoffs.
Regardless of the area of the game, they can often play high-scoring games. Tonight, they played an extremely powerful game.
This is mostly due to a young man whose name is difficult to spell.
His name is Giannis Antetokounmpo, which is a tongue-twisting name, but he is also known by another name, called "Antetokounmpo."
However, Tang Qian didn't see him when he actually played, so in Tang Qian's memory, he was just a very ordinary player.
But tonight, it was because of this young man that the Lakers suffered a lot.
He played very well in the fourth position. Because his scoring was so explosive, Tang Qian had to defend himself to prevent his opponent from scoring high. But who knew that after being restricted in the paint, this guy...
He was temporarily assigned to the outside position again. Because the Bucks' lineup structure is a bit strange this season, he was temporarily assigned to the top position.
But who would have known that this guy went to the outside and played well tonight, even... better than when he played his original position just now? Is this just bad luck tonight? Or is it just a coincidence?
Feeling it coming? Otherwise, small position changes in the interior are okay, such as the switch between the 4th and 5th positions in the interior. This happens a lot, such as the forward and guard swingman on the outside. But overall, these are small position changes.
, inside or inside, outside or outside, how can you go from inside to outside in one breath, and how can you play so smoothly? Even the more you play, the better???
Damn...it doesn't mean James can get better and better as he plays as a power forward for the Heat.
It is not easy to maintain stability.
I hope this is just a coincidence during a game.
In short, the Lakers lost this game inexplicably. They were fooled by the young man from Athens who suddenly came into form tonight, including Tang Qian, who was a little unresponsive. What is this? Damn it, you are a swingman inside and outside.
What?????
Are you kidding???
Is this a second-year player who only averages close to 13+7+3+1+1 per game?
That's ridiculous. It must have just happened tonight. We, the Lakers, are unlucky. How can such a person exist? Right?
Five consecutive losses, 39 wins and 10 losses, so many consecutive losses, this is no longer a low period that can be overcome. Even the local fans in Los Angeles began to be dissatisfied and shouting.
What's more, some black men publicly shouted a slogan:
Wow~ Look~ Look at the Lakers~ A brutal 30+ losing streak is coming~ When will they break the 39-win bottleneck~
This is not going to work. The team's morale has actually slumped. If they don't win, the situation is likely to get worse. Just then, when the Lakers all went to Orlando to start preparing for the next away game, there was a
Personally, it attracted Tang Qian's attention.
he is the one……
