As predicted before the game, today's game, the Lakers' winning level is definitely very big. However, this is not absolute, because in the competitive arena, the performance of the players and the on-the-spot command of the coach are more crucial.

For Chu Xuan, he is very thoughtful in coaching the Lakers team. It can be said that if necessary, he can put on dozens of lineups that others can't imagine, and these lineups are definitely very lethal, not imaginary.

In today's game against the Timberwolves, Chu Xuan also had an idea, and through the preparation before the game, he already had a rough plan for dealing with the Timberwolves in his heart. And then, all that's waiting is to put it into practice.

The Timberwolves have always been very good at hoarding players. It's a team with a lot of great potential and good players, and it's always a lot of expectations, but it's always disappointing because it's always not playing as expected. Just like last season, because of the injuries of Love and Rubio, the Timberwolves, who were supposed to be able to make the playoffs, only achieved a 31-51 record and ended up in the bottom three of the West, which can be said to be extremely bad.

This season, Adelman has clearly changed his coaching role, with a more thorough emphasis on Princeton's tactics, a moving offense that moves with the ball and cuts in the air. With such a coaching philosophy and thinking, Adelman needs a center with good adaptability and shooting ability.

And precisely, Lefu is a very suitable interior player for Adelman, so in many cases, Lefu needs to play a cameo role as a center in a small lineup, and judging from the Timberwolves game this season, this small lineup under Adelman's coaching is often very offensive firepower and threat.

In Adelman's tactical system, the presence of center forward Pekovic is a bit of a chicken rib, so this season, Pekovic has not even played 30 minutes. It's fair to say that on the Timberwolves side, Adelman trusts more athletic wing players and guards.

Of course, in this team, Love is definitely the absolute heart of the team, and Adelman needs him to play a very important role in attack and on the wing.

And this time against the Timberwolves, Chu Xuan will naturally focus on dealing with the small lineup of Lefu and Adelman.

"Once you're on the pitch, your job is to break the bond between their players as we did with the kind of defense we've practiced before. They have a bunch of very athletic defenders and with their open cut tactics, we have to defend well on the inside, which is very important. ”

When the player was about to come on the stage, Chu Xuan looked at Adelman on the other side, his eyes flickered, and he said slowly.

As Chu Xuan said, the Timberwolves have always been an offensive team that relies on the impact of the interior and shooting outside the three-point line to score, and their interior line is often able to pull outside the three-point line to shoot three-pointers, which plays a great role in the opponent's defense, and can often pull out the opponent's big man, which is more conducive to their players impacting the inside. Therefore, against the Timberwolves, the alignment of defensive players is very crucial.

"Today's game, Draymond, you go to defend Kevin Love, as for the inside, Paul, you go to play against Nikolaekovic, also as a big European man, I think you can easily deal with him. Then the remaining three will defend each other against the other players. ”

Chu Xuan's arrangement was also well thought out.

Kevin Love is only a little taller than Green, and Green is exactly the kind of player who is very tough defensively. And using Green to defend Lefu made Chu Xuan very relieved. In this regard, it is much better than using interior players to defend.

As for Pekovic, the Big White Bear weighs nearly 300 pounds, and as a power-based defensive European interior line, in today's NBA league, I am afraid that only Perkins can use his body to get him. And with the Lakers, Noll is too thin, Whiteside is unstable, Thackeray is not strong, and against Pekovic, the inside line will definitely be blown into scum. Therefore, after careful consideration, Chu Xuan decided to let a player like Gasol, who has excellent skills and is not lacking in strength, go to the opposite position with Pekovic.

"Okay, head, I only need one hand to get that guy." Gasol raised an eyebrow, a rare blow on the cowhide.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, obviously thinking he was joking.

However, at this point, Gasol re-emphasized in great earnestness: "Really, I only need one hand, and it's my left hand." It's an insult to me to use my right hand to deal with such a rough brother. ”

In view of Gasol's serious appearance, Chu Xuan suddenly felt that this guy was definitely not joking, and the strong confidence revealed in him made Chu Xuan suddenly begin to believe it in his heart.

"Paul, I'm sure you'll be able to handle him." Chu Xuan opened his mouth to encourage.

Gasol smiled and nodded.

At this point, the referee blew the whistle.

Chu Xuan stopped talking and let the players play one after another.

Kobe, Nash, and Gasol, three veterans, led the two young guys, Green and Knoll, to meet their teammates on the court.

"If it's really this lineup, hehe, look at me this time if I don't get him, I can't be a Chinese." Adelman couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he saw the Lakers' starting lineup. In his opinion, the Lakers' lineup can undoubtedly only use Gasol to defend Lefou, and given the similarity of the two players' playing style, it is definitely difficult for the 33-year-old Gasol to have an advantage in front of Lefou. Then there's Noll defending Pekovic. That wizened guy? Adelman admits he has some potential, but with a gap of tens of pounds, all potential is nonsense.

Therefore, from the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers undoubtedly do not have any advantage.

However, when the jump ball was over and the game really began, Adelman was shocked and felt the urge to scold his mother.

"Is that the arrangement? Damn, he actually took a center forward to defend Zeiss Badinger. Damn, this guy is just messing around. ”

In fact, the emergence of this situation immediately detonated the target center arena.

"What the hell, this guy actually asked Noren Snorr to play against Battinger, does this mean that Noll went to play the No. 3 position today?"

"It's incredible, there's no position, Noren Snoll has gone to play small forward. I admit it was a transformative and bold move, but God knows what the outcome will be. ”

"If that's the case, why do you have to start Norrisnoll? Wouldn't it be better to play the No. 3 position with Devin Ibanks or Giannis Antetokounmpo? Is it for the sake of confusion? (To be continued.) )
