Chapter 324 A Small Difference



Chapter 324 A Little Difference
After playing the Spurs, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles overnight and got three days of rest according to the schedule.

Perhaps it was because the game was full of highlights. Early the next morning, ESPN specifically discussed the reason why the Lakers went from a big loss to a big victory in three days in the analysis program "JUMP". The guests in charge of the analysis were the famous Bulls Pippen and Bill Wharton.

"As you can see, Bynum is gradually losing value in Su Yang's offensive and defensive system..." Bill Walton said, "We all know that Su Yang attaches great importance to stretching space, so he prefers inside players who can guarantee medium and long-range shooting .

Andrew Bynum is obviously not that kind of player, and he doesn't have the mobility of Tyson Chandler. He can't provide the large-scale sweeping defense that Su Yang likes, and can only be used as a single containment point inside. fit. "

Pippen went on to say: "In the game last night, the Lakers established the foundation to win. The player at the center position is Pau Gasol, who can support and shoot mid-range shots. Later, he was replaced by Troy Murphy, who can also shoot, even without low-post offense.

With Bynum off the field, let Su Yang guide the Lakers to play the horn elbow series of tactics that can best utilize the player's strength.

If you analyze the game carefully, you can find that every time the Lakers attack, there are at least two offensive opportunities.

That's a terrifying efficiency. The key lies in the second half of the second quarter and the entire third quarter. Because of Bynum's presence, the Lakers' scoring efficiency is not as good as that of the Spurs, especially when Parker and Duncan are in the pick-and-roll. Difficult to provide defense…”

Walton and Pippen's remarks, which were broadcast live on ESPN, quickly spread widely on social platforms such as Twitter.

The fans discussed Bynum's performance one after another. Looking at the statistics after the game, they found that Bynum made 9 of 5 shots and 8 of 7 free throws. He scored 17 points in total, but also made 3 turnovers. Below, the efficiency is very high, but there is no possession of the ball.

When the fans were discussing whether to give Bynum more ball rights, ESPN data analysis expert John Hollinger tweeted: "From the data of OWS and WS/48, Bynum faced the Thunder, When the Spurs, Mavericks and other teams, the points provided on the field are lower than the lost points, but Bynum faces the Heat and Bulls and other teams, the opposite is true.

Obviously, Bynum's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, so sometimes 30+20, sometimes only 17 points. "

The unemployed player Arenas tweeted: "Bynum entered the league with the name of a talented player, but he has never played the performance corresponding to his name and treatment in the Lakers these years, and Su Yang came to persuade Kobe to be more Share the ball in more places, and then help Bynum play a wonderful performance, so some games choose to reduce Bynum's usage time, which is entirely out of game considerations."

Kenyon Martin, another unemployed player, tweeted: "Arenas wants to sign with the Lakers with a basic salary. He is completely talking nonsense. The so-called Su Yang helped Bynum get more possessions. That's what Bynum deserves." Yes, and the so-called better play against the Spurs with Bynum, is that Su Yang will not deal with the Spurs' inside defense, everyone forgets how Phil used Bynum?"

Commentator Bill Simmons tweeted: "I don't like Su Yang that much, but I think it is not Su Yang's selfishness that Bynum played too little against the Spurs, because Su Yang has played against the Spurs in the past, whether it is in the Thunder or in the For the Trail Blazers, his team has very few centers. For example, Channing Frye started shooting three-pointers, and Tyson Chandler mentioned that the three-point line was involved in double-teaming. Those are his signature styles of play, and He won many times, he really wasn't against Bynum, it just didn't fit well with his offensive and defensive system."

The three well-known figures tweeted consecutively, sparking some heated discussions again, but the scale of the heated discussions did not expand after the Lakers won.

Su Yang also saw the outside discussion, but felt that what Pippen and Wharton said made sense, as for the others, it was a bit nonsense.

NO.19, the Lakers vs. the Eagles at home.

Su Yang rushed to the Staples Center early, arranged the training content as usual, and then entered the media room for interviews.

The first question is how to view those discussions about Bynum. Su Yang said: "Bynum is an excellent player who can provide us with a lot of support on both ends of the offense and defense, but we all know that even Michael Jordan He did not achieve the best three-point shooting ability in the league. Every player will have some areas that are easy to be targeted. It is normal to make trade-offs in order to win the game, just like sometimes we will arrange Derek Fisher as the Substitute, or let Gasol play less."

The reporter also asked if he favored a center forward with stronger shooting ability and better movement ability in the COSCO. Threat ability, of course, I want a center who can make three-pointers, defend and play in the low post, but I haven’t seen such a center so far.”

After finishing the interview, Su Yang went to the VIP room to discuss with Kupchak about buying out or trading Dior.

"Trading Diaw is the safest choice, but because we have few players available for trading, and the Hornets are more willing to release salary space, we may need to pay for additional draft picks, fearing that it will not meet expectations..."

Kupchak's words were worried, the Lakers lack good assets, and sending out draft picks will affect future reinforcements.

Hearing this, Su Yang knows that the main reason is that the current record is decent, and the management and the Bass family have little desire to trade. Otherwise, there will be four draft picks in exchange for Nash, which is human nature and tends to be conservative in the face of interests. .

But if Dior buys out to join, the Lakers will definitely be happy. After all, there is only one basic salary, and he can get rid of it during the off-season.

Anyway, I like whoring for nothing.

If you spend money and draft picks, you must choose carefully.

"I understand what you mean, I will try my best to find a way..." Su Yang did not force it, mainly because it is difficult to prove Dior's ability now.

Leaving the VIP room and heading to the arena instead, Su Yang specially pulled Bynum to communicate, implying that he should not worry about the public opinion.

At seven o'clock, the game officially started.

Considering that Josh Smith's defensive habits are biased and his height is at a disadvantage at the power forward position, Su Yang instructed the whole team to play more around Gasol, and Kobe was very cooperative to help make the ball. to 10 points.

During the matchup between the two teams as substitutes, Su Yang continued to experiment with the horn elbow series of tactics. Jeremy Lin led the team to play well and helped players such as Barnes and Murphy score consecutively. Eat cakes to score.

The main force and the substitute had two consecutive rounds of offensives, and the Eagles had a hard time parrying the game. The Lakers led by as many as 18 points after halftime.

Back from the halftime break, the situation in the third quarter did not change. The Lakers expanded their lead and turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Su Yang withdrew his main force early, allowing Wharton and Kapono, who had not played for a long time, to fight more, and finally won 106 to 91.

The whole game, Gasol made 22 of 14 shots, got 30 points and 13 rebounds, and rarely sent 4 blocks.

And Bynum was very efficient, making 10 of 7 shots and scoring 15 points with free throws. Kobe sent 17 assists.

After the game, I participated in a press conference and said that Bynum had only 10 shots. The reporter asked whether, as discussed by the outside world, Bynum had begun to be in a marginal position in the Lakers' offensive and defensive system, and the ball was divided by Jeremy Lin and others.

Su Yang shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly: "All the arrangements are for the need of winning the game. Next time you play against the Suns, you will see Bynum dominating the inside like crazy. Let's discuss Kobe's 17 assists, which is equal to his career career record..."

Specifically mentioning Kobe's 17 assists, the main thing is to announce to the outside world: Kobe is no longer a ball bully, come to the Lakers!
After finishing the press conference, Su Yang returned to the locker room, and happened to catch a glimpse of the news: Curry, who had just returned, was injured again.

 Alas, the sadder thing than sorrow is empty joy.
