Chu Xuan made a drastic change in the lineup, which immediately caused a very big sensation in the NBA. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one expected Chu Xuan to dare to put on such a starting lineup, which was really unrealistic.

Because LaVine is out for at least a month, the Lakers need to re-select a starter. In the last game, Jeremy Lin's starting effect was not good, and Chu Xuan decided to change the candidate.

After careful consideration, Chu Xuan's final decision was to put Pau Gasol back in the starting position.

Gasol's starters were the cause of the media and fan buzz, because in that case, the Lakers' starters became Kobe, Antetokounmpo, Noll, Gasol and Whiteside.

In other words, the Lakers will have three interior players on the floor, and given the tactical and individual skills, such a configuration is completely unplayable, and the Lakers' interior line will become extremely crowded.

And, most importantly, with the three interior players on the floor, and Antetokounmpo's long-range shooting ability is not particularly good, then the defensive pressure on the outside line completely falls on Kobe.

In this way, the Lakers will definitely not be good because of this change, but will be terrible.

Because the opponent's outside arrangement only needs to defend Kobe Bryant.

Many voices were pointing at Chu Xuan, questioning his decision.

And some media even use the word stupid to describe Chu Xuan.

In this regard, Chu Xuan said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "Sitting in this position, when you want to try something new, you will definitely be questioned and need to bear great pressure from public opinion." However, I want to bring a new attempt and change to the Lakers, and I don't care about the outside world. ”

Everyone couldn't help but understand that this was Chu Xuan's tactical attempt, and he seemed to want to test how to make the three interior linemen coexist on the court.

And if it succeeds, it will actually be very beneficial for the Lakers. Because as long as you encounter a strong opponent on the inside, the combination of the three inside lines will have great damage and restrictions on the opponent.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this bold change is worth looking forward to and supporting.

……

The first opponent after the change of formation was the Memphis Grizzlies.

This is a strong defensive team, and the interior strength is quite not weak.

Last season, the Grizzlies had an extremely poor record, and finally got a scout pick to select the talented interior Joel Embiid.

However, Embiid has announced a season reimbursement before the start of the season due to foot bone surgery, which makes the Grizzlies who chose him quite frustrated, and for fans who want to see his individual performance, they can only wait for next season.

In the first few games of the season, the backcourt of Tony Roten and Mike Conley has been extremely good, and the Grizzlies have already won 1 game. However, one thing is for sure, the Grizzlies will be a strong contender for the No. 1 pick this season.

Moreover, from the current point of view, the attitude of the Grizzlies management is also very clear, that is, to completely rot and train the newcomers.

Although Tony Rotten is poor in long-range shooting, as a left-handed player, he is good at making fouls, and he is completely in the same style as Harden. His scoring efficiency is very high, which makes the Grizzlies expect a lot from him.

Because Roteng, who entered the NBA at the age of 18, is now only 21 years old, he obviously still has a lot of room for development, and if he can develop the ability to shoot from a distance, then his prospects are definitely very good.

The Lakers are playing at home, and it stands to reason that there is no suspense in playing a weak team like the Grizzlies.

Before the game, many bookmakers gave odds in favor of a big win for the Lakers, but the final result was quite surprising.

The Lakers and Grizzlies were stuck until the last round, and finally relied on Antetokounmpo's breakthrough layup to kill the opponent 96-94 and get away with it.

Individually, Noll, who is more on the wing and from the three-point line, plays very much like a No. 3 player, his long-range shooting is very lethal to the Grizzlies, and his help defense on the weak side is very good.

Noll played 35 minutes, hit 9 of 15 shots, scored a game-high 25 points, and had 6 rebounds and 5 blocks, becoming the biggest contributor to winning this defensive battle.

As for the other two insiders, Whiteside had 11 points, 9 boards, 3 steals and 4 blocks, and Gasol had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

As for Kobe, who faced great defensive pressure on the outside, he also played very smart and efficient, contributing 19 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

……

Although the Lakers won this victory, and the performance of the three interior combinations on the court was also good. However, it is not difficult to see that Chu Xuan's change was not successful, at least, in this game, it was not successful.

Many people think that if the opponent is not the Grizzlies, but a team with strong firepower on the outside, then maybe the Lakers have suffered Waterloo.

As a result, under the news of the victory, many people felt that the Lakers should no longer play three inside.

However, what is surprising is that Chu Xuan is still persistent, and he seems to be more determined that the three inside combinations can succeed.

In fact, the Lakers' three-inside combination, guest players on the wing are extremely crucial, and the athletic Noll is obviously a better choice.

However, after all, Noel is from the inside, although after the transformation of Chu Xuan and Chris Webber, he is already a real No. 4 player. However, it is definitely a big challenge for him to play in the number 3 position.

After all, from the No. 5 position to the No. 4 position, and then to the No. 3 position, such a span is too big.

Of course, if Knoll can fit into this position perfectly, then his future can only be described as promising, and he will become a supergiant across the generations.

But for now, he still has a very, very long way to go.

However, Knoll is more than happy to take on the challenge, saying he will do his best to adapt to his current role and present an attacking threat on the flanks.

Knoll is the key figure in the squad, and he's been the focus of the world's attention.

The media exposure to him was very strong, which made him slowly move towards the fire, and began to have a bit of a sense of the future leader of the Lakers.

And under the starry light, the sales of Noel's No. 4 jersey are also growing rapidly.

Obviously, under a series of chain reactions, Knoll is not far from the level of star player.

Subsequently, the Lakers ushered in three consecutive road trips, against the Hawks, Magic and Grizzlies.

In these three games, the Lakers played a three-inside lineup, and in the last two games, because Gasol sprained and was suspended, Yi Jian United was arranged to enter the starting lineup.

In the end, with the excellent performance of the Lakers team, the Lakers won three consecutive road games and achieved a seven-game winning streak to start the season.

In a three-in-a-row match.

Much attention was paid to Knoll's performance, where he contributed 21 points and 9 boards, 20 points and 7 boards, and 15 points and 7 boards in three games.

As for the starter, Yi Jian United contributed 9 points and 7 rebounds and 13 points and 11 boards in the two games, respectively, and performed extremely well. (To be continued.) )
