With two consecutive narrow wins, the Lakers showed exhaustion and began to face a great crisis.

At this time, too many people feel that the Lakers will encounter Waterloo in their last game before the All-Star break, and Chu Xuan will pay a price of $500,000 for it.

ESPN experts, in particular, also believe that the Lakers' winning streak will end at 30 games.

But that's great enough, after all, in the entire history of the NBA, there have only been two times when a team has been able to play a 30-game winning streak or more.

The Lakers 42 years ago were so dominant that they were on a 33-game winning streak, which was acceptable.

But today's Lakers team is different, it was initially thought that it would not be able to make the playoffs, but it has played such a good record for the first time.

And the 30-game winning streak was completed in a surprising way. So, even if the Lakers do lose on the 13th, no one will laugh at them.

Because, for a team with a great record of 30 consecutive wins, no one has the capital to laugh at them.

Of course, pundits and fans alike will take matters into account, and it seems that the exhausted Lakers will indeed struggle to overcome the obstacles created by the Thunder, even if Westbrook is the only one to lead the team.

It can be said that in the case of public opinion, this game has completely become the biggest focus before the All-Star.

The location of the game is the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which means that in this game, the Lakers are playing at home, which can be regarded as a little advantage.

However, what Chu Xuan was concerned about was how to deal with the Thunder, because in his understanding, if this team really had a convulsion, it would definitely be very difficult to deal with it.

So, before the game starts, he has to think of all the strategies for what to expect.

amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp;

In the office of the Lakers coaching staff, a big screen is playing a game about the Thunder, and every time the video editor makes a key mark, it is slowed down repeatedly.

On either side of the long table in the office sat all the members of the Lakers' coaching staff.

And surprisingly, Nash also appeared here.

This was deliberately done by Chu Xuan.

Today's task for the coaching staff is to analyze the Thunder's tactics, as well as the characteristics of each Thunder player, and Brooks' habitual response strategies when the game progresses to a certain situation.

Then, through research and analysis, be prepared to play with the Thunder.

The coaches were very attentive, taking quick notes on their tablets and occasionally making comments and discussions.

"Stop!"

The video kept playing, and Chu Xuan, who was silent, suddenly spoke, motioning for the video editor to stop.

The protagonists on the screen are Wesley Johnson and Westbrook, in defense, Wesley defended two people in a row, and finally magically cut the ball, and then completed a delicate combination with Westbrook.

"Did you notice any difference?" Chu Xuan asked.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, is this any different? Isn't it just a two-man fast attack counterattack after a successful defense?

Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile and pointed to a person at the back of the picture, who was Ibaka.

It turned out that everyone was only attracted by Wesley and Westbrook, and completely ignored Ibaka's existence.

"I've just watched a lot of offensive rounds, and Coach Brooks has a habit of using Ibaka to delay the opponent's defensive players and then create opportunities for the team to counterattack quickly, which is their main means of pulling away the score.

Moreover, Wesley's defense is porous, and his movement to the left is relatively inflexible, which is generally exploited by opponents who force him. And Brooks mainly arranges him to defend the opponent's shooter, and he does a pretty good job. We need to find a way to get him. ”

After Chu Xuan finished speaking, the other coaches immediately discussed in a whisper.

Really, just as Chu Xuan said. The Thunder's offense is mainly to create opponents' mistakes and then counterattack, and although Wesley is playing well with the Thunder, his weaknesses are still very obvious.

"Control the mistakes and then take care of Ibaka's blocking delays. As for the offensive end, everyone has to play more resolute and score as much as possible in the mid-range position, which is the Thunder's defensive weakness. ”

Chu Xuan opened his mouth to instruct.

"I think we can let go of Westbrook and Wesley Johnson and try to kill the rest of the guys. You know, Kevin Durant can't play, and no one can fill his scoring contributions. It's a very big chance for us to win. Phil Webb opened his mouth to suggest.

After hearing this, Chu Xuan thought about it and said: "The opponent's scoring is mainly concentrated on the outside, and we must focus on the defense on the outside and expand the defensive line." As for Westbrook, just send a player to defend him and let him break through as much as possible. As for Wesley, let him go, as Phil said. ”

After a pause, Chu Xuan continued: "In terms of offense, we have to play more success rate and slow down the pace as much as possible. Then we have to play more inside, which will make it easier for us to attack and then not have a problem with being out of fitness. ”

……

During the internal discussions of the Lakers coaching staff, Brooks also convened the coaching staff to discuss ways to deal with the Lakers.

Because, although the Lakers are tired, their momentum is too strong, which Brooks does not dare to take lightly.

"Speed, I think speedup is the best solution for the Lakers. Russell was able to drag them down, after all, they were already exhausted. ”

"No, no, no, I don't think so, I think we should pay more attention to developing inside tactics and trying to play successfully. Without Kevin, they're going to be very protective from the outside, and playing inside is definitely going to have a really good effect. ”

"In the last few games, Kobe Bryant has made a lot of mistakes, and their players are really tired. This can be seen from Chu Xuan's use of Steve Nash as the core. However, Steve Nash is 40 years old, and I don't think anyone can handle Russell. So, we're going to be resolute about Russell. ”

"No, no, no, I think Russell should be more of a playmaker and an attacker, he is good at passing, and when he can pass a good ball, he is undoubtedly completely revitalized by his teammates and lead the team to victory."

The discussion of the Thunder coaching staff was also a little unanimous, and in the end, Brooks finally made a decision after careful consideration, that is, to use Westbrook as the offensive core and improve the offensive and defensive speed as much as possible, so as to drag down the Lakers.
