In the Lakers 113-104 win over the Spurs , the team was still passive 81-82 in the first three quarters. Coach Ham made three "fine-tunings" in the final quarter, and every link was just right.
James led the team to defeat the Spurs 20+9+11
In this game, Rui Hachimura made his official debut, thick eyebrows finally returned after 20 games, and the team lineup was finally assembled. Therefore, in theory, the team's strength is far superior to the Spurs. However, how to turn strength into results is a science. Coach Ham completed three subtle fine-tunings in the final quarter.
1. The “big lineup” that people are looking forward to.
The biggest problem for the Lakers this season is the lack of height at the third position. Today, when Hachimura was able to play, Coach Ham came up with the following lineup in the final quarter: Thick Eyebrow/ Thomas Bryant , James, Hachimura, Christie and Schroeder . The biggest feature of this lineup is that the height can match the Spurs.
Thick Eyebrow and Tobe, 209; James, 206; Rui Hachimura, 203; Christie, 196; only Schroeder is 186 tall. The second and third positions are no longer small guards with a height of less than 190. At least they will not be bullied by opponents in terms of height, and the defense will be guaranteed. When the defense is guaranteed, the defensive counterattack that the team strives to build will come naturally. Just two typical cases:
Rui Hachimura defended, and Schroeder made a three-pointer.
In the previous match between the two teams, Johnson could use his height and strength to defeat any of the Lakers' three small guards. But today, Rui Hachimura defended one-on-one and relied on his height advantage to complete the interference. After the defense was successful, James grabbed the rebound and counterattacked to find Schroeder, who directly scored a three-pointer.
Christie interfered with Jones in the mid-range, and Calais scored a three-pointer.
Jones attacked Christie one-on-one from the top of the arc. Although he had the upper hand in strength and experience, Christie had an absolute advantage in height and wingspan of 13 centimeters, which still formed an effective interference. James counterattacked and sent a wonderful pass, and Christie scored a three-pointer.
Note that the above large lineup not only improves defense, but also has qualitative changes in offense, especially Hachimura's "three or four" characteristics, which is very suitable for the Lakers' system. For example, when paired with James, he mainly plays the third position:
Hachimura's three-pointer
and James are present together. Hachimura plays the third position, which is what we often call the 3D position. In addition to the qualified defense mentioned above, as shown in the picture, the team switches from defense to offense. Hachimura is in position at the top of the right arc. Schroeder delivers the ball immediately, and Hachimura scores the first three-pointer in Zijin's career.
Once James comes off the court, will Hachimura switch to the fourth position?
2. Coach Hamm’s second fine-tuning.
The game entered the last 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The Lakers started from being 88-89 behind. With an 11-0 wave of the "big lineup" as mentioned above, the team completed the lead at 99-89. At 6 minutes and 8 seconds, the thick eyebrows replaced Taob's teammates. At that time, Westbrook replaced James, and then the team formed the following lineup: Nong Mei, Rui Hachimura, Christie, Schroder and Westbrook. At this time, Rui Hachimura mainly played the fourth position, the effect:
Westbrook assists Hachimura in the mid-range.
In the following three rounds, we saw the scene. Hachimura was in the left waist position, and Westbrook delivered the ball immediately. The latter's typical career of leaning back, mid-range, and strong breakthrough He made two free throws for a heavy dunk and drew a foul, and then made another strong attack and drew a foul. Well, his ability to solve problems with the ball was infinitely magnified. So, when the game entered 4 minutes and 34 seconds, the team secured a 10-point advantage at 103-93.
3. The three giant lineups at the final moment.
The game entered the last five minutes, and both sides were in the bayonet stage. Coach Ham completed the third fine-tuning, thick eyebrows, James, Wei, Beverley, and Schroeder. The reason is very simple. Beverley is the defensive iron gate of the team on the outside. The other four have the ability to solve problems individually. Especially after the team has a 10-point advantage, they can completely compete with their opponents in one round and one round. , so:
Westbrook made three consecutive hits
James made two fouls and two free throws, and then the game entered Westbrook's moment: the first attack, a sudden layup; the second attack, a gyroscopic spin layup; the third attack, using Beverley's containment to make another sudden breakthrough, well, after his personal three consecutive hits helped the team secure a 12-point advantage 111-99, the game was settled.
James had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, Big Eyebrow had 21 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, Beverley had 18 points, Westbrook had 14 points and 4 assists, and Hachimura had 12 points. Even though no one had an explosive performance, the team was still able to win easily in a passive situation. As mentioned above, Coach Ham's three fine-tunings made every link just right. Maximizing the overall strength of the team is the key.
