Chapter 429: Lakers Bench Team
Who would have thought that such a battle between the leaders of the East and the West would have a situation where both sides would send their own substitutes. It's not garbage time yet.
The fans in New York are stupid, because such an adjustment is really incomprehensible. Obviously, there is such a good opportunity to take advantage of the absence of the Lakers' main force to play a wave of climax.
As a result, the Knicks coach actually sent the two cores directly to the cold bench? Could it be that the two teams have discussed it? What a deal this is!
The on-site commentator also laughed, "I can only say that this game is just starting to get interesting." "In fact, there is really no shortage of willful coaches in history.
After all, basketball is a sport that needs transitions, which is why at the beginning of the game, there are often big leads or behinds due to the difference between how fast and slow you get into the state.
A good starter is one who can withstand pressure and activate himself quickly. This is also because their strength is not even comparable to that of the substitutes, but they can sit firmly in the position of the main force of the team.
The status of the substitute also dictates that he will be available at all times at all the requirements of the manager. The reason why the NBA has prepared a Sixth Man of the Year award is to reward good benches.
A team that wants to challenge for a championship is also a super-strong bench player. Because God knows when the main force will have a convulsion and play a bad performance.
That's why modern basketball often changes starters as soon as they enter the playoffs.
As long as the player who can play form quickly has the potential to start, or the player who can play chemistry with the core of the team.
Just like the Knicks' Glide is very strong in ball control and is one of the best playmaking guards in the league, so the team's interior line can not have the ability to play alone, but the ability to eat cakes must be strong.
This is the reason why although the Knicks' interior strength is not ranked, their personal data and fame are not small.
As long as the center of the garbage is athletic, he can make a name for himself after encountering a good defender. That's the difference in fate.
The Knicks' centers are not strong, so naturally there is no absolute starter. Whoever is in good form will be on the list, which also makes the team play intra-team competition.
This is the only way to keep the team competitive in the league.
Not just centers, but of course players like power forwards and point guards.
Thomas' injury, as well as the competition between players, has ensured that the Knicks have a versatile roster, with a huge difference in 1/2/3 picks at each position, but not a big difference in strength.
The same is true for the current Lakers. Although their starting line-up was solid. But when it comes to adjustments, WACKER also has a lot of players to choose from.
The reason why they dare to go up and down is also because of the team's heritage. Without this, the Lakers would not have the league's current No. 1 record.
There will not be a winning streak throughout November and overtaking the Golden State Warriors to become the team with the highest call to win the championship at this stage.
Although Zhang Yi unfortunately did not win the best of the month last month, it was because Simpkins played too well. In the end, he also won the rookie of the month, which is already a good recognition.
The Lakers, who have a full bench lineup, are better than the Knicks' three main players with two benches. That's because WACKER's squad has been honed more often.
Compared with the Knicks' improvised patchwork lineup, it is naturally better matched and the use of on-court tactics.
The Lakers team that everyone expected was collapsed by the Knicks but did not appear, on the contrary, because the Lakers bench lineup performed well, but let the game fall to the away team.
The Knicks' audience, of course, didn't agree, and the boos outside the court grew louder. After all, they're not here to watch a bunch of substitutes pecking at each other.
The hearts of fans who want to win may be heavier than the players of the Knicks team. This is not a normal thing in itself, but it has become normal for the city of New York to happen.
Because the fan culture here has always been so strong, it's a lot better now that there is no verbal abuse of the players.
And Zhang Yi and the others have also received good respect here, and this is the best treatment that their rookies may get.
After all, I think that little Curry was not only scolded here, but even some fans threw garbage at him - when the old enemy got to this point, they would be nervous on the scene, and conflicts would break out on the scene.
Before the Lakers came here, they actually considered whether they would be abusive. Now it seems that everything else is fine except for a few boos.
The visitors are ahead, and the fans blame the home team, which is also a strange phenomenon in the Big Apple. Zhang Yi's fame in this game is not worth it at all.
His play was not terrible, and while the stats were good, those points weren't scored at all under normal defense, so they didn't count at all.
Zhang Yi himself is very clear about this. After being substituted, he was not angry at all, but apologized to Wacker first.
After all, the current boss of the team is himself, and if he can't lead the team to play a better offense, the responsibility for this matter cannot be blamed on others.
Then Robert and the others also realized the problem, although they felt that as long as they could win in the end, it didn't matter. But this is the NBA, the world's highest level of basketball.
What's more, although there is not much attention, it is at least a focus event, not to mention tens of millions of spectators, if you take such a game, you will not be sorry for the support of fans at all.
I didn't expect the Lakers to play well off the bench. It turned out that the game was back to normal. And they are desperate defensively, which is like a player from two worlds like the previous starters.
The Lakers led the way. And regardless of the final outcome, it is clear that WACKER's tweaks have outperformed the opposing manager.
Because five up and five down doesn't necessarily play badly. As for retaining a few main players, it does not necessarily make the team's tactics complete. The important thing here is to look at the previous partnership of the five players.
WACKER knows its players well. And he knows very well who is with whom among these people can play a normal attack. This can only be summed up by building on super training.
I think Wacker went from the bench to a superstar, so he knows very well that there are a lot of people in the league who are waiting for their chance. That's why he's paying extra attention to the substitutions.
The current five Lakers players, although they can't shoot the first and second rotation positions in each position, they are on the same team every time they practice, and they have already played a tacit understanding.
WACKER also always practises tactics for them, and individual strength can be improved by team strength in many cases.
The Lakers win now on the team!
