I am so Accurate

After Rambis joined the Lakers, Harris gave Rambis enough respect and gave him enough rights.

Then, what happened was different from what everyone, including Sun Hao, imagined.

Originally, the Lakers wanted to let Rambis fill in the details of the triangle tactics.

Because Harris has mastered most of the theory, and Sun Hao and Yao Ming are also in place in terms of execution, but some details are not yet in place.

Because only those who have studied it for a long time or are using the triangle offense know those details.

Rambis was the man who fit their minds.

But after actually getting started, what Rambis did was not this. What he did was to reduce the proportion of Yao Ming and Sun Hao in the triangle tactics, give other role players more tactical proportions, and increase their participation!

This has caused many people to wonder.

Because this is a bit egalitarian.

But if a team with Sun Hao and Yao Ming has an average main force, isn't this an operation of picking up watermelons and throwing sesame seeds?

But Rambis also gave his own explanation.

After he failed to try the triangle offense in the Timberwolves, he found that the advantages and disadvantages of the triangle tactic were obvious.

The advantage is that this tactic can maximize the strength of superstars.

The disadvantage is that this tactic relies heavily on superstars.

Therefore, once some unexpected situations occur, such as injuries, fouls, physical fitness and other factors, superstars will easily lose the game if they cannot play at critical moments.

Based on this discovery, he wanted to increase the involvement of role players so that those situations could be avoided.

This explanation sounds quite reasonable, especially since it fits the current situation of the Lakers.

Yao Ming returned from injury soon, so he played less in the regular season to recuperate for the playoffs.

And the Lakers have a lot of role players this season. Carter, Millsap, Knight, Butler, Fernandez, these people can play more than just tools.

So after the explanation, the Lakers also supported Rambis' decision.

Of course, whether this will work in the end will only be known if the game proves it.

The good news is that it hasn't been long since the season started, and the Lakers still have time to try.

A few days later, the Lakers ushered in Lansey's first game after joining, against the Spurs.

What is slightly embarrassing is that the Lakers lost this game and their 7-game winning streak was ended.

On the one hand, the Spurs are unexpectedly strong this season, but on the other hand, the Lakers' role players still seem a little uncomfortable with the increased role.

This is normal. Everyone has to adapt to the sudden change of role.

After two days of rest, the Lakers visited the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are mainly young people, but they have performed well so far and are ranked tenth in the Western Conference. This is not bad for a team dominated by rookies.

In this game, the Lakers finally defeated their opponents.

It's just that the process of winning is still somewhat uncomfortable for some people.

Because role players still can't adapt to the increased scenes, the Lakers win when Sun Hao and Yao Ming are both on the court.

Then, the Lakers lost again against the Knicks.

Although the recent schedule has not been very good, compared with the past 7 consecutive victories, Rambis's record of 1 win and 2 losses after joining the team is obviously unacceptable.

Some Lakers fans, especially those who were not optimistic about the team's recruitment of Rambis, also began to explode at this time.

They felt that Rambis's method simply didn't work, because the triangle offensive tactic was not designed for role players at all!

To do this is to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken, which is not only wasteful but also counterproductive.

Rambis's failed coaching experience with the Timberwolves was even cited as evidence.

Well-founded, there are also some voices within the Lakers management that want to replace Rambis.

Although the person was recommended by Old Winter, he probably didn't know that Rambis would do this.

But even if there is sound, the Lakers will not operate so quickly.

Because there is not enough time to prove whether it works or not, just a few games are not enough.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the eve of the Christmas war.

The Lakers' record in the past half month is 4 wins and 4 losses.

There is basically a consensus within the management that the next game against the Warriors will be Rambis's last chance.

If the Lakers lose this Christmas game, Rambis's career as a Lakers assistant coach will be over.

Although the management did not clarify this matter, internal information still accidentally leaked out.

This also caused a small earthquake in the team.

This has something to do with Rambis.

His understanding of triangle tactics is somewhat biased so far and in the future.

But he has pretty good support among the players.

These two things are not in conflict with each other.

One is a person's work ability, and the other is a person's communication ability.

Including Sun Hao, everyone has a good impression of Rambis.

Because just like before, when any minor conflicts arise within the team, Rambis is always able to discover them immediately and resolve them quickly.

So although the team's record during this period is not very good, the team's atmosphere is even better than at the beginning of the season.

In this case, the players must have some mixed emotions when they heard that tonight's game may be Rambis' last night with the team.

They also know that it is not the solution for the team to continue like this, but they are reluctant to let Rambis leave like this.

Even because it is related to the outcome of the game, it means that whether Rambis leaves or not is ultimately their "decision". This feeling is completely understandable.

One thing that was expected was that Carter held a pre-game pep rally in the locker room before the game, with the purpose of calling on the players to win the game.

"For Kurt!"

His final slogan was also unanimously recognized by the Lakers players.

Even Sun Hao also had serious expressions.

The game against the Warriors was originally very critical for the Lakers, but now Rambis's incident has only made this game a must-win level.

The players were so excited that what they didn't notice was that Harris and Rambis had just arrived at the door of the locker room at this time.

After hearing the shouting inside, Harris turned around with a smile and patted Rambis on the shoulder.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. Harris canceled his original plan to go into the locker room to boost morale, and then turned around and went to the field first.

Like the Lakers, Harris and Rambis get along well as colleagues.

He also has to try his best in tonight's game.

The Staples Center was packed.

Fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, and various Christmas decorations have added a strong Christmas atmosphere to this game.

Christmas Wars are the easiest place to find classic matches.

But the difference between this game and other Christmas battles is that before the game even starts, it is already determined to be a classic or even epic battle.

Traditional basketball, which is what we call big ball, and then the Warriors' small ball.

On a full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City!

When the players of the two teams came out of the tunnel, the fans seemed to have seen Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue jumping to the roof, and their excitement was instantly heightened.

Especially when Curry imitated what Sun Hao had done before and made a super long three-pointer in the tunnel before the game, the fans' emotions were even more exciting.

This is not the first time Sun Hao has played against the Warriors since leaving the Warriors, but this should be the closest the two teams have been since Sun Hao returned to the Lakers.

Being close means the outcome is unknown!

And some of the things fans said on social media at this time do make sense.

The previous game between the Bulls and the Lakers actually had no reference significance at this time.

Because although they are both small balls, only the Warriors can really exert the power of the "Five Small Balls of Death" now.

Or you can understand that the Warriors who have been in the top five are unique in the league now.

So this game can be summed up in two words, looking forward to it, very much looking forward to it!

After a brief pre-match warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were also announced one after another.

For the Warriors, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

For the Lakers, Sun Hao, Jimmy Butler, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.

This starting lineup alone is already very interesting.

Klay Thompson has shown great progress in his sophomore career, and he has shown that he is more than just a 3D talent.

Just as ESPN evaluated before the start of the season, the talent of this Warriors lineup is unprecedented.

Some experts have even placed his talent number one in NBA history.

As for the Lakers, Harris began to implement his previous ideas and let Knight and Butler take turns starting.

Of course, Harris's rotation does not depend on his mood. Like tonight, this is obviously an arrangement for Curry.

Butler still plays like a shooting guard. He is light in weight and has sufficient endurance. He is more suitable than Knight to guard Corey.

The game started immediately, and the starters from both sides began to take the field one after another.

At this time, the commentator's seat was also very happy.

It was mentioned before that Barkley and O'Neal made a bet, and O'Neal was the one who won in the end.

The ratings of that TNT program were off the charts, and O'Neal did not spare Barkley any face and teased him vigorously during the program.

But this time, fans saw how thick-skinned Barkley really is.

It was really like a wall made of rammed earth, extremely hard.

Even if O'Neal teased him and even used his trump card, "My championship ring is 6 times as much as yours," Barkley would not reply.

At the end of the show, O'Neal brought a turtle out from under the table and gave it to Barkley as a gift, and the live broadcast effect exploded.

Although the last action shows that this was obviously done for the effect of the show.

But Barkley can indeed endure it.

After enduring it, Barkley began to respond in various ways during the live broadcast, taking back all the anger he had been holding back.

O'Neill laughed out loud.

And the game hadn't even started yet, but Barkley took the initiative and made a more serious bet.

It's better to bet on the outcome, and the loser will not be allowed to laugh in the next episode!

My dear, this is definitely a cruel move.

You said that not replying has something to do with a person's psychological quality, but not smiling is a physical challenge!

Sure enough, in games that attract more attention, the two of them play bigger!

It can be foreseen that the ratings of the next TNT program will be higher than before!

There was a lot of chatting in the commentary box, and the starters from both sides had already appeared one after another.

Sun Hao glanced at Curry.

Curry's expression was somewhat nervous, just like his tunnel three-pointer, which took several shots before he scored.

This game is a must-win game for the Lakers, but so is it for the Warriors.

If it turns out that small ball cannot overcome the Lakers' configuration, then this season may be the death of small ball.

As soon as the whistle blew, Oden jumped up and moved the ball back to the Warriors half, and the visiting team got the opportunity to attack first!

The scene was already filled with agitation.

Curry controlled the ball for half the game, and Butler directly led the defense and pressed hard.

This is the highest level of defensive pressure at the beginning!

After seeing this, Durant quickly came over and gave him a few pick-and-rolls to help him advance smoothly to the frontcourt.

Then Butler put the pressure on the defense unabated, and Curry seemed to stagger a little bit with the ball.

This is not surprising. Butler plays under Battier and Bell in the Lakers, and his defensive ability is constantly improving.

Staggering, Curry managed to get a little space through Ibaka's pick-and-roll, and he glanced in the direction of Durant.

Over there, Durant was already cutting inside with the help of Oden's screen.

Butler also noticed Curry's behavior and turned to look.

But the moment he turned his head, Curry raised his hand and shot before he could stand still!

At this moment, there seemed to be an elongated figure of Sun Hao behind Curry!

Similar height, same shooting posture, and the same speed!

Butler turned around and had no time to interfere. He could only watch the ball pass by his eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

What came from behind was a crisp sound of entering the net!

Curry takes the lead!

There was a commotion in the place.

Fans used to like to call Arenas "Little Sun Hao", but since Curry came out, this nickname may have changed hands!

In the Lakers' offense, Sun Hao dribbled to the frontcourt and followed up with a standard lob.

Although the triangle offense is complex, it also has basic tactics. What we are playing now is a standard low post offense.

Of course, while Rambis brought a different understanding of triangle tactics to the Lakers, he also brought details.

For example, when this low post attack is launched, the flanks are constantly moving.

Because Millsap and Carter's shooting abilities have been relatively stable this season, Ibaka does not dare to help defend easily at this time.

Of course Yao Ming didn't hesitate when he saw it. After turning around with Oden's back, he made a light hook shot.

Oden made the right decision, but Yao Ming's weight prevented him from getting up.

He also felt how Howard felt when he faced Yao Ming before.

Yao Ming has not completely lost weight, and his speed and reaction have not yet returned to their peak, but everything has two sides, which also means that he is a greater threat in the low post!

In the end, Oden could only stretch out his hand to interfere, but Yao Ming's hooks are all outside hooks, and with his height, you might think he is a talent for Howard, but in fact there is really nothing you can do.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball fell steadily into the net bag.

Yao Ming quickly returned the goal!
