The Lakers played Game 27 of the regular season against the Golden State Warriors on the road.

At present, the Lakers' record is 23-3, the Warriors are 14-13, it seems that the gap between the two sides is huge, the Lakers are currently second in the West, only half a win behind the Spurs, and the Warriors are only eighth in the West, and they may be dragged down by the Timberwolves behind at any time. However, no one expected that this game would be so fierce that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The game wasn't broadcast live in the U.S., so not many news outlets were in attendance, mostly Los Angeles media and Bay Area local media waiting here. At least for now, it looks like the Warriors and Lakers aren't on the same level.

The Lakers didn't take their opponents seriously either.

Because at the moment, they are playing against the Warriors, 2-0 this season, which can be regarded as a psychological advantage.

Of course, the Los Angeles ontology media is speculating about how many points Kobe Bryant will score in this game, a topic that has been high on Twitter this season. No way, who told Kobe Bryant to score 80 points in a single game against the Raptors 2 weeks ago? This power is enough to last for half a month. What's more, Kobe Bryant's score, after a few games of a slight "trough", has recently risen again.

54 points in the last game and 49 points in the last game, this is the evidence, at least to prove that the ability of the Lakers' No. 24 is not a rapid decline and a flash in the pan.

However, this game, too, is different. For example, the Warriors released a message before the game: head coach Mark Murphy. Jackson will not be involved in this game against the Los Angeles Lakers because he has a loved one who has died in his family and he is going to attend the funeral. Another piece of news is that there will be a newly signed assistant coach to replace Mark Murphy. Jackson's command.

And the name of this person is......

Steve. Cole???

Steve. Cole???

Isn't he an ESPN commentator? Isn't he the former general manager of the Suns? How did you run to the Warriors' bench and sit down? And that location is still ...... Mark. Where Jackson sits.

He's the Warriors' new assistant coach?

Steve. Cole??? It makes people laugh out of their big teeth!!

Most of the Lakers were amused by the Warriors' move, because Kerr was just a role shooter when he was a player, and the most important thing is that he never coached! Such a person, you don't even try to let him be a "front-line commander"? Aren't you afraid of losing too badly?

Yes, Kerr has just appeared as a coach in front of the American media, which has indeed caused a lot of suspicion and ridicule.

But this Lebanese-born "rookie coach" didn't feel cramped at all, didn't feel nervous at all, he chewed gum on the coach's bench off the field, and then looked down at the tactical board, as if in a daze, as if he was thinking about calculations quickly.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the biggest dark horse of the season, originally thought that the "Warcraft" Howard was gone, and Nash and Gasol were injured again, and their results would definitely plummet, and they would not even be able to enter the playoffs. But who would have thought that Kobe, who was 35 years old with a torn Achilles tendon, "returned to the king" and "resurrected with full blood", and used continuous high scores to win one victory after another for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Even many people say that Kobe Bryant has surpassed the 05-06 season this season, and the kind of scoring and ability is breathtaking, and he can't accept it.

Since it was decided to "try it out", Kerr didn't plan to give it up, and besides, he must have a certain degree of certainty if he took this game. It's not the certainty of losing face, but the certainty of winning. Kerr has no shortage of confidence in himself and the Warriors.

"So the Lakers are currently abandoning D'Antoni's run-and-shoot small-ball play? Switching to full positions? ”

"Well, D'Antoni is only suitable for 'seven seconds or less', positional warfare is not his forte, so this change is most likely not voluntary. Well, it doesn't matter if it's voluntary or not, mainly because of this, Mike. D'Antoni's ability to control the scene and adapt to the situation has been greatly reduced and greatly reduced. ”

"In terms of coaching, I'm going to beat him completely."

“…… Oh? The Lakers pass the ball so little? Bottom one in the league? This is a side manifestation of the oversimplification of the offense and the overabundance of singles. Don't be fooled by the so-called 17-game winning streak! They're not very good at scoring! It may even be very weak! Because except for Kobe, the other four people have no independent offensive ability! ”

"In the past, the head coaches of these teams were either attacking or not completely bombarding the weaknesses of the Lakers, and then there was a big problem. That is, these people have walked into a strange circle of 'habitual thinking' and 'common sense obstacle'! Since Michael's emergence in 1984, the limit on super scorers has entered a new phase. ”

"Strict defense has long become a bad magic weapon, and even for monsters like Michael, the effect is no longer obvious."

“so？ What to do? ”

"Hehe, just refer to the 'Jordan's Rule' of the Bad Boy Army back then! This is extremely useful against one-man teams! ”

"And this one...... Pay attention too. ”

"Okay, that's all for now, let's test it first, and then decide on the direction of execution later." Cole seemed to finish talking to himself, he stood up, and there was a little more confidence in his eyes, and said in his heart:

Los Angeles Lakers? The player who most resembles Michael? Let me see your strength and weigh your catties.

The two sides lined up the starting lineups, and the Golden State Warriors were: PG Stephen. Curry SG Klay. Thompson Sf Andre. Iguodala PF David. Lee C Andrew. Bogut. Los Angeles Lakers are: PG Steve. Blake SG Kobe. Bryant S.F. Wesley. Johnson pf Jordan. Hill C Tang Diving.

The Lakers are now in high spirits and have won more games, and it seems that this group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" are also "alive", feeling as if they have really become the strongmen of the strong team.

But this is a bubble, because of the shortcomings and cover doors, it will eventually be discovered, and some strong teams, some famous coaches, have even been ready for a long time to block Los Angeles. It's just that now someone wants to forcibly insert a leg and forcibly advance.

Basketball flies high, there is nothing to say about the scrum, and Bogut and the Lakers No. 29 are completely incomparable.

Tang Qianqian occupies an overwhelming advantage in this item.

Bogut is not short in height, but he lacks athleticism, and his successive injuries in the first few years almost ruined his chances of continuing to play. Now I have finally recovered, but at the cost of further reduction and weakening of athleticism compared to when I was younger.

So when it comes to physical fitness, Bogut has little chance of winning.

Cole also expected this, and didn't blame too much, because he felt that this big Australian man still had a lot of other potential to tap. You don't need to stare at some basic data.

The Lakers are still the same old way, Kobe Bryant attacks first, opens the situation, and then attracts the defense, splitting the ball from all sides to the other members.

It looks simple, but if the executor doesn't have Kobe's strong personal ability, it's completely looking for death, and 82 games are played to make you at the bottom of the league forgiving. As for the personal finishing firepower, the outside line is as strong as the current super-peak Kobe, except for the peak Jordan, the rest are far behind. That's why the Lakers can turn the impossible into a whole.

D'Antoni actually doesn't like this "dumb tactical system" very much, but the problem is that at present, this "dumb tactical system" can win, and under this big condition, D'Antoni can only agree if he disagrees. Otherwise, the fans and the management will launch a surge and he will not be able to bear it.

And as a manager, being able to win is the highest goal, so he didn't interfere because of his personal likes and dislikes.

The Lakers' No. 24 has indeed surprised him this season.

Last season, at the age of 34, I played in that kind of form, and I can't believe it, this season......

It's just jaw-dropping.

This feels, Mike. D'Antoni is not unfamiliar, the years of peak Kobe Bryant happened to be the years when he led the Suns to encircle and suppress them, so others are not so strong, he can't be.

And he clearly felt a little ...... The 35-year-old guy in front of him was even more violent than when he was twenty-six or seventeen.

A few crazy points.

There seems to be a faint ...... The illusion of resolutely fighting to the death!

This kind of mentality, no matter how strong the average basketball player is, will not have, because it requires a certain amount of time, place, and people.

He had only met one person who had been in a similar situation.

It was the '97-98 season, and D'Antoni, who had just been voted the best coach of the Italian league twice, had his first chance to enter the NBA. His first league job was the Denver Nuggets in '97-'98. And it just so happens that this year is the "final dance" season of Red Bull's Red No. 23.

Yes, it was in Chicago that he had seen such a spirit.

It was the kind of spirit that left me after this season.

So, before that, I'm going to shoot the last bullet in my body, I'm going to shed the last drop of blood in my body, I'm going to burn all the remaining passion for basketball...... Mike. D'Antoni originally thought that this kind of spirit, this kind of aura, would not appear again in the NBA, but now, ......

Well? Wait a minute? The reason why Kobe Bryant is playing so crazy can't be ......

An idea popped into D'Antoni's head, but there were no clues or signs that Number 24 would do it.

But I heard that this year, the Lakers and Kobe Bryant proposed to renew their contracts, and the amount was huge, but Kobe Bryant has not responded for the time being.

Walk? When pigs fly! Now that Kobe Bryant has everything in the Lakers, he is also happy to enjoy the reputation of loyalty, and the Bass family has always had a "tradition" of pension, as long as it is not as "ignorant of lifting" as O'Neal, it will basically be maintained, and there will be a "perfect ending" and "perfect ending". Since Kobe Bryant has no reason to leave the Lakers, and the Buss family is sincere enough to renew his contract, why is he still dragging it out and delaying his reply?

This question, I'm afraid, is not that simple.

Mike. Thinking of this, D'Antoni glanced at the number 24 who scored on the field, thoughtfully.

……

It's unstoppable! Standing here and watching, you can see the power of the Lakers' No. 24 this season even more clearly! Hehe, this guy is only stronger than Michael in the last three consecutive now, right? It's horrible! What a miracle! If Kobe Bryant hadn't been fully inspected by the league a week ago, he would have wondered if he had taken some "new banned drugs".

In other words, our single defense, it is basically impossible to prevent him, basically giving away points? Just like others dealt with our bulls back then, the No. 2 position is absolutely unsolvable. Well, Clay defended hard, and there was no problem with his attitude, but the opponent was too capable. So one-on-one hard work is not the way. Luckily, hehe, they don't have Phil, otherwise this bonus would be even more exaggerated.

It's a pity that we don't have a big center with a basket type, Bogut is good, but his ability is limited and he can't take on the burden of the defensive core. To be honest, his basket protection doesn't even have half of the opponent's ability, no, one-third. Although he currently averages 1.8 blocks per game and ranks 7th in the league in the number of blocks, his opponent is too strong, and he is "weak".

So can't and Mark. Jackson, like him, used Bogut as a traditional center, he had suffered a major injury, and the low-post offense was not as powerful as it was back then, and to activate him, he had to find another way. He seems, well, look at it a little longer.

Kobe Bryant scored 17 points in the first quarter, which is commonplace for the Lakers this season, and Tang Qian also completely dominated Bogut on the defensive end, and the Lakers led by 6 points 26-20 in the first quarter.

During the break, Kerr didn't make much deployment and adjustment, just explained a few words like an ordinary coach, and it was a thing. This makes the Warriors' players, their first impression of him, continue to decrease.

Bench time, which occupied most of the second quarter, the Warriors' bench offensive ability was good, and the league ranked first, and the Lakers were several grades weaker than one. Not to mention Clay who stayed on the field. Thompson and Andre. Iguodala, let's just say a few guys on the bench, such as Maris. Speights, aggravating 7~8 points per game, Harrison. Barnes, who averages close to 10 points per game, and as far as Kerr is concerned, this guy is a potential show, and if he is given a lot of time to "level up" and ensure a certain amount of shooting, he is likely to grow to the level of a quasi-first-class scorer in the future. Kent. Although Bazemore is an undrafted player, he has a good scoring ability and has the strength of a qualified starting lineup. In particular, the Warriors' No. 23, this "short" interior lineman from Michigan, is Steve. The player that Kerr is most interested in and interested in.

Before coming to the Warriors, Kerr certainly did his homework, and in his observation and research, the Warriors' No. 23 was very unusual. What do you mean? It's Cole who thinks he's "the pearl is dusty". Maybe he can't beat David. Lee's 20+10 "excellent interior All-Star" data, but he will be of great use to this Warriors team and will be better than the former.

And it's far more than.

For Cole, David. Lee is the "data brush", the type that is not used in the middle, and for the team, the promotion effect is far less useful than the Warriors' No. 23. At least in his own tactical system in his own requirements, David . Lee must be eliminated. And the Warriors' No. 23 is his new supporter.

The play of the bench time just now was enough for Kerr to make a basic judgment.

Kerr didn't look up at the game, he looked down at the scouting report in his hand and muttered mockingly, "Drummond. Green, 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 230 pounds, graduated from Michigan State University, has a 27-1 high school record, averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, ranking fourth among high school students in the United States. After four years in college, he averaged 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in his freshman year, 9.9 points and 7.7 rebounds in his sophomore year, and 12.6 points and 8.6 rebounds in his junior year...... 4.1 assists, 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in his senior year, he had three triple-doubles in his college career, hehe, the third man after Elvin Johnson and Oscar Robertson. ”

"This kind of data can also make him fall to the second round? Now these scouts, one by one, are staring at the so-called physical condition, and have long forgotten what real potential is. There is a reason why Kerr complains like this, because the NCAA and NBA rules are different, and it is only difficult to get high numbers in the NCAA than in the NBA. First of all, the NCAA does not attack for 24 seconds, but for 35 seconds, which means that the number of rounds will be reduced, and the data will inevitably "shrink". It may seem exaggerated, but it's already a modified offensive time, and if it was the time in 1985 when the offensive time limit was first established, the number would not be 35 seconds but 45 seconds. Why? This is the difference between the NCAA and the NBA, the NCAA focuses more on the development and training of young players, so obviously playing 35 seconds of offensive time than 24 seconds, more can run tactics and read the game. Second, the NCAA only played two halves, a total of 40 minutes, far less than the NBA's full 48 minutes. In the end, there are very few people in the entire league who can play NCAA for 4 years, and Green is considered a "freak". But again, there are pros and cons, and there are pros and cons, and a complete college basketball career has brought Green tremendous changes and opportunities.

What do you mean? This four-year college is what Cole values the most. If he wants to implement his "five small" lineup, he must have such an interior line. And Green, that's who he wants.

Surprised? Cole discovers Drummond. Green what?

The answer is omnipotent.

He was far less offensive than David. Lee, but he has a three-pointer, David. Lee only made 29 three-pointers in his entire career and hit only one, which shows the latter's poor three-point ability. He's defensive, David. Lee's defense has always been poor, which is not allowed in Kerr's coaching system. Green, on the other hand, has a lot of talent in this area, and given time, Kerr thinks he can at least be a player selected for the defensive team. Last but not least, Green can be the "axis", David. Lee doesn't have the ability.

Actually, David. Lee's passing is pretty good on the inside, but compared to Green, Kerr believes that the gap is huge, and the latter is more suited to his tactical needs.

And when did Green develop this defensive and organizational strategy? The answer is to look at his NCAA career stats from his junior year of college, and it is clear that he didn't even know what defense and strategy were in his first year. It only improved slightly the following year, but it was still not noticeable. If he had been like any other player, playing in the NCAA for a year or two and then leaving college and going to the NBA, he would not have the skills and abilities he has now.

Not to mention Green's on-court reading ability and "glue attributes", which he must not have qualified to impress Kerr without a full 4 years of college basketball.

A blessing in disguise, in Mark. Jackson's hands are not appreciated by Drummond. Green, however, became more than David in Cole's eyes. Lee's better inside line. You must know that this gamble is very big, after all, David. Lee has been in peak form in recent seasons, averaging 18+10 per game is not a big problem, and last year he cut down 18+11+3 all-around interior data, and was selected for the best team and all-star at the same time. A normal person, a normal head coach, I'm afraid few will support a sophomore and give up an All-Star who is in good shape.

But is Cole a normal person? His tactics, his philosophy, are fundamentally unconventional.

"Five small plays"? It simply sounds crazier than D'Antony's "7 seconds or less."

But madmen and geniuses are a matter of the line, Cole, he may be right when he says something.

He is more suitable to be a manager than a player, a general manager and a commentator.

This is a talent in the bloodline, awakening, calling.

He's going to be a genius among managers.

At halftime, the Lakers replaced Kobe Bryant in the last 2 and a half minutes, and then a wave of small ** recovered the score and went into the locker room with a 3-point lead.

45-43, in the Warriors locker room, interim acting rookie coach Steve Brown. Cole made a tactical adjustment:

"You go up in the second half, Drummond, is there a problem?"

ps:This is the first change.,Xiaozi went to the second change.,Thank you for your understanding~.

The NCAA's change of 35 seconds to 30 seconds was a 2015-2016 season, so it's still 35 seconds.
