After a few minutes off the bench, the head coaches of Wacker and Knicks switched back to the main team one after another. They also understand that the fans want to see who plays.

The so-called five up and five down or changing the main force at a critical moment is one of the ways the head coach teaches them a lesson. Whether these main players can be worthy of the title of main force is because they must have super adjustment ability.

After returning to the court, the offensive situation between the Lakers and the Knicks immediately changed.

Because they went down because they were the champions of the East and West, and as a result, there was no one for both teams to defend. This is not a normal thing at all.

Not to mention that the Lakers are clearly among the top three teams in the league in defensive efficiency. actually followed the Knicks to fight a non-defensive bombardment, which is what Wacker is most angry about.

As for the Knicks' defensive efficiency is greatly reduced, the reason for this is that Thomas, the core of the team, is resting due to injury.

With him or not, it's really two teams. Glide and Thomson do have super strength, but that doesn't mean they're qualified team leaders.

The ball quotient is not something that Glade can see because he has the big picture and the ability to assist. Without a real leader like Thomas, it's easy for them to stray their tactics and style of play.

Zhang Yi's personality and ability are still much worse than Thomas's, which has nothing to do with basketball skills. Not being old enough and not having enough experience is the result of this.

That's why it's hard for rookies to play really well. Don't look at the Lakers playing well in the regular season right now.

But when it's really going to be the playoffs, and everyone starts fighting for the bayonets, it's hard to say what the result will be.

The reason why the Golden State Warriors were able to win consecutive championships is also because of Curry Jr.'s personal ability to lead the team, which is also not comparable to Thomas.

The so-called superstar does not mean that his stats and personal performance are strong enough. Because being able to lead the team to win at critical moments, and the ability to play tough battles is the key.

No matter what people say, Zhang Yi is Curry Jr.'s successor. But what people mean in their words is that Zhang Yi will become a little Curry in the future. That's why no one sees him as a league superstar right now.

The rookie still played too few games, and the audience didn't even know where his bottom line was, and it was also a big problem that there was no conflict.

As for the physical factors and various volitional factors, Zhang Yi is still under the investigation of fans and football commentary media. Although the performance is very good now. But that doesn't mean he will be able to persevere until the day he becomes a god.

Now the Lakers have a chance to bring Zhang Yi into the playoffs or even further series.

But this does not mean Zhang Yi's own ability to lead the team, there is no play in the fourth quarter, there is no test of key life and death moments, and there are no various changes and duels in the series.

Zhang Yi still has a lot of time to improve his ability in the future. The Lakers are now not just focused on developing their own leaders.

After all, there are too many rookies on their team. Even now, it seems that Robert may not have such a strong ability as Zhang Yi. But no one knows what the future holds.

Wacker watched them grow up, though. But entering the NBA can be considered a new student. Every player has the opportunity to change their future.

Whether it's Robert or Vali, they have the same power to get the opportunity to perform. This does not change depending on WACKER's personal preferences.

Otherwise, the head coach could well ruin a rookie. That's one of the difficulties that teams with more rookies have. Now the Lakers are looking for the most suitable positions for Robert and Vali, and whether they are the main players or important players in the bench depends on how they grow in the future.

The future of the players cannot be forced, nor can they be allowed to grow in a casual way. One of the reasons for Vali's previous exclusion from the team was that he didn't know how to reconcile the relationship between rookies and veterans.

At that time, he devoted himself to cultivating newcomers, although the training was a bit excessive. But the future will prove that the players he has chosen are indeed quality.

It's just that the Lakers veterans didn't understand Walee's approach at all, and coupled with high-intensity training, there would be conflicts between new and old players and affect their positions.

And although Vali was resisted by the players back then, this does not mean that his coaching experience has completely failed. After all, he did bring out a future star.

Although no one saw this at the time. Although the Lakers retained him, the team manager at the time was originally a role with the mud.

A tough manager like Walli is not used to working together. After all these years, everything is different.

Although the general manager of the Lakers has changed so many times and has become a woman for the first time in history, Gianna has the blood of the black mamba in her body, so she is naturally full of fighting spirit.

This is in line with WALL-E's personality. And both of them are very capable, they don't pay attention to the process, and the result is what matters in their eyes.

Whether it's Zhang Yi, Robert, or Vali, it doesn't matter who you choose in the draft. The important thing is to use all the power this year to directly bring the Lakers out of the dilemma.

It's just that Gianna and Wacker's cooperation was surprisingly good. Although their lineup is not at the level of a real championship contender.

But it is obvious that at the speed of Zhang Yi's growth, the successor of Little Curry can be expected in the future!

When the game came to a critical moment, the Knicks' two giants also played at a high level. They led the team to complete the reversal of the score.

It's just that partly because of the quality of their attack. It is also because of the inexperienced Lakers rookies who have been prevented from hitting a new low in shooting percentage.

It's not that the Knicks don't have defense, on the contrary, they have experience in the Finals. When playing tough games, it has an advantage over Lakers players.

Especially when the game came to the fourth quarter, time was running out. The attack was slow to start, and even Zhang Yi became a lot more impatient.

None of them are born with a full-level tuba, and these things are all things that must be experienced to grow up.

It was also normal for WACKER to call a timeout and then help the players adjust. Their hands have not been able to open, also because their individual attacks are not in a comfortable position.

The Knicks are smart defensively, and they know how to force opponents out of their comfort zone and shoot in areas they don't excel at. Although there is not much pressure on the surface, it is actually very powerful.

Zhang Yi was even affected, his three points were not very stable, but now as long as he breaks through in the middle, he will encounter all kinds of bags, and it is difficult to attack the frame if he can't pass the ball for a while-

The Lakers' good situation was reversed in this way, and finally suffered the second loss of the new season!
