Let's start with little Gasol. At present, only Pau Gasol Jr. and Thick Eyebrows can play No.5 in the Lakers lineup. Harel can do it. To put it simply, harel is too short, and harel can only be in a daze in the face of technical flow (about teachers); Heavy eyebrows are too brittle to like the confrontation at the fifth position. The Lakers are also trying to protect the thick eyebrows. Gasol Jr. is tall, powerful and slow, but the top defense at position five is OK.
Between Pau Gasol and harel, vogel chose Pau Gasol to start, mainly because harel can provide bench fire. Different teams use different rhythms and methods, so Pau Gasol and harel can help each other.
Let's talk about Schroeder. Many fans are complaining that Schroeder's defense is poor, not inactive, but his strength is really not good. It is said that when caruso is put in the starting lineup and Schroeder plays as a substitute, fans can see the defensive problems, but vogel, who is famous for his defense, can't?
So the question is, what is Schroeder's starting position? In fact, it is very simple: Schroeder's breakthrough attack. At present, besides James, who else can break through with the ball in the Lakers lineup? The simplest fact is that James needs more rest and regular season health, so let Schroeder start to reduce James' pressure.
But don't worry too much about Schroeder's defense. I feel that James' dribbling attack will definitely increase gradually in the playoffs. Caruso may also be placed in the starting position to strengthen the defensive intensity, and Schroeder just returned to the bench to score points.
The Lakers' game proved the failure of summer action. Therefore, for Xiaohe and Michelle, it was a helpless move at first. I want Xiaohe to keep the data that is beneficial to the transaction. Xiao Jia probably smashed it in his hand. The data was bleak and no one answered. Put it on the bench? The main center must be harel. Obviously, he is not tall enough. He mentioned harel to the starting lineup. Without scoring in the second round, Xiao Jia completely faded out of the lineup, and the Lakers were helpless.
Except Schroeder, there is no prominent No.1 position in the Lakers' existing lineup. As James grows older, he needs James to play more without the ball on the court, which will give James a full rest on the court physically.
In the regular season, starting is a science. Balancing the interests of all parties tests the comprehensive coordination ability of the head coach. In layman's terms, it is whether he can be a man and get along with the players.
Generally speaking, when the head coach of a team gets the team roster the day before the start of the season, he already knows what five players should be arranged to start and whether the starting lineup will be adjusted in the middle of the season. There is also a rough figure. This is not difficult to understand. The list of 15 people is not equal. The team's big-name stars, especially those who have just renewed their contracts and received high salaries, naturally have priority. Those rookie players and water dispenser players who rank lower will naturally not enter the eyes of the head coach. New players should give priority to their own coffee spots, positions, styles and characteristics. If they are not full-time substitutes, then it is necessary to give them a starting position. As for those who were originally players and played as substitutes for several years, it is a headache for the head coach to give them a starting position.
So far this season, the Los Angeles Lakers have played 22 games, with a record of 16 wins and 6 losses, 0.5 wins behind the Jazz and Clippers, ranking third in the West. Overall, the record is good, and there is still a chance to hit the top spot in the west in the future. During this period, the starting lineup that the Lakers have been using is Schroeder, Popper, James, Davis and Gasol Jr. This lineup is basically the most reasonable lineup based on the Lakers' comprehensive position, coffee space and player characteristics. Among the five players, except Jony J, the other four just happen to be the top four players of the Lakers, namely James 39.22 million, Davis 32.74 million, Schroeder155,000 and Pop120,700.
Needless to say, James, Davis and Pope don't want to do it without playing as the starting coach. Pau Gasol's starting position, at least in the regular season, is extremely stable. After all, people's willingness to come to Los Angeles is a gift to the Lakers. As an all-star veteran, the Lakers have no reason not to give this preferential treatment. And Xiao Jia is just a fake starter, averaging less than 20 minutes per game. Players in the same position have gained a lot of playing time, so naturally there will be no big opinions.
The only thing that is likely to change in the regular season is Schroeder. However, the possibility of change is very small. On the one hand, although Schroeder won the best sixth man in Thunder last season, at that time, the Thunder had Paul and the newly trained newcomer Alexander, and Schroeder could only be replaced. But in the Lakers, Schroeder has only one competitor, Popper, whose positions overlap, and the remaining caruso, Matthews and Horton-Tucker hardly pose a threat to him. On the other hand, Schroeder's significance is still there. After all, he has a strong impact and can be used as an engineer to disrupt the opponent's defense. At present, the Lakers, old Zhan is 36 years old, and it is impossible to break out every game. Having such a player to share the pressure is just needed. With limited salary space, the Lakers didn't find a super guard, and they didn't have the top draft pick to choose a super newcomer, so they had to reluctantly accept Schroeder. Therefore, this is the result of mutual needs.
In fact, the starting lineup of the regular season is more often a symbol of the player's personal status. Many players also know that they have both pursuit and perseverance. After all, the NBA has a very complicated statistical system. Players' playing time can be controlled and balanced by seconds. Naturally, every lineup used in the middle will be carefully analyzed. At the end of the regular season, there is usually a meeting to discuss the team's content, put forward facts to tell you which team is better, how to change teams in the playoffs, and even what big moves the team has prepared to win the championship. At this time, even if the coffee table is big, because the data speak louder than words, after all, the whole team is watching, and usually they can only accept the arrangement of the coaching staff, blaming themselves for not working hard enough. So, we will see so many changes in the playoffs.
So, obviously, everything is to prepare for the playoffs. In this case, naturally no one will show all the cards in advance.
At present, the Lakers should start well. It is good enough for Schroeder to strengthen scheduling, strengthen defense, project more accurately, let Lao Zhan take less balls and let thick eyebrows eat more cakes. This starting episode can reach the Western Conference.
