Chapter 413 Major Adjustment
After the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, Wacker took everyone to a meeting.The purpose of course is to summarize the various problems encountered in playing the Hornets.
All kinds of veterans who had swallowed their anger and didn't want to speak also expressed their dissatisfaction at this time.Especially the inside rotation players expressed their dissatisfaction with Wally.
Wally's organizational skills are indeed good, but this is based on the premise that the Lakers' overall offense is good.In other words, as long as a player at the basket who passes the ball well can perform like him.
Correspondingly, this strength is not enough to be called a strength.Although his performance can be regarded as tough, he was injured in the opponent's position many times...
But what people look at is not the process but the result. When Wally is on the court, the opponent's offensive rebounds are better than the Lakers.
This means that Wally's inside defensive rebounds are really not good. Although the "Smiling Butcher" Wacker also played a cameo as a center forward, he was also one of the best frame protectors of that era.
After all, in the era when he played, he often played inside at 2 meters.Those people can jump and attack, and without a strong rebounding awareness, they can easily be turned into a second offense by their opponents.
Therefore, WACKER's reputation is definitely based on real materials.If it weren't for the team's style of play, it would have changed.But the skill at the basket, especially the skill of grabbing rebounds, will never change.
Wally's performance now proves that he lacks a sense of rebounding.Even if he has inherited Wacker's skills and doesn't have a natural sense of smell, he will still be blown up when he meets a real rebounder.
The Lakers' inside frame protection is actually limited.But for their strength, Wacker has no way to decide in a fair way now.
After all, the Lakers' starting lineup has been built around Zhang Yi, Robert and Wally from the beginning.And it depends on the tacit understanding between the three of them.
Although Zhang Yi's offense and defense are the core of this lineup, he cannot play such a comfortable game without Robert's three-pointers and Wally's inside support.
Even the three of them played like this when they were in college. If they insist on adjusting, the final result may even affect Zhang Yi's performance.
Of course, the last thing the Lakers want to see is that Zhang Yi's mood and performance will be affected, because he is the future of the team.Even if you put aside the identity of Curry's successor.
It is easy for the media to label some talented players as successors, but Zhang Yi is different. His potential is really amazing.
But what is more important is his ability and background. Even Jaina agrees that he will become the future of the league.It's not because he's his own player.
Because some people are born with the arrogance of a king, like Xiao En and Varanda, but neither of them is as obvious as Zhang Yi!
This is very obvious from the first time he stood on the American field and the first time he appeared in the game world of the Super Basketball League.
It's not that Zhang Yi has never lost, but every time he loses, he will grow a lot faster.This is something that is difficult for ordinary players to do.
After all, many people can't realize the so-called potential, and even Zhang Yi can hardly be called unique among this group of rookies if he only relies on physical talent.
People of the yellow race are naturally inferior in certain physical talents, and Zhang Yi just made up for it through scientific training since childhood.And by removing his traits, his most anticipated performance is gone.
This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Yi will be questioned now.Those bigwigs in the football world have seen so many powerful rookies, but this is the first time they have seen a player who is born with the kind of traits that can only be accumulated through experience and talent.
Even through him, both Thomas and Simpkins seem to have achieved it, but the acquired traits are different from Zhang Yi's natural strength.
Not to mention that the current Lakers are facing many external challenges.Before entering the really difficult schedule, their performance has fluctuated violently.
Of course, teams with a lot of rookies will be accompanied by such problems. When they play well, they are very strong.But when it's weak, it's also weak.
This kind of mentality fluctuation will affect their performance, not to mention that the three main players of the Lakers are all rookies.It's not that the rest of the players can't support them.
On the contrary, what they want is more possession of the ball and opportunities to perform, but Wacker does not give them.After this brutal game, these people finally got their chance.
In addition to targeting Wally, who lost a lot of rebounds, it is also because he is good at playing off the ball, but in real offensive games, his defensive problems have also been dug out.
Robert's defense has actually improved a lot.It's evident in tapes of him playing college basketball.But let's say the Lakers are a team eager for quick success.
Although the Los Angeles market is big, it also has big disadvantages.People or things that grow too slowly are quickly replaced by new people.
Although this is not so obvious in NBA stars, Robert is not yet a complete rookie.
Not to mention that his performance is not very stable now, and he has indeed performed very well in a few games.And as a combo guard, his talent is also very rare.
But when encountering an opponent with the same strong offense, his defense can easily become the focus of the opponent.After all, not all the time, Zhang Yi would come to wipe his ass.
Not to mention that the current Zhang Yi didn't perform very well even if he teamed up with him to defend Xiao En.Of course, this point will now be grasped and criticized.
These two newcomers can only choose to remain silent, because their weaknesses are still very obvious now.And as an assistant next to the strongest player.
The weakness must not be so obvious, because it is very easy to be targeted by the opponent.
No matter how strong Zhang Yi is, he is only one person. It is impossible to help Xiao En defend, and at the same time rush to the basket to fill the lack of rebounding for Wally.
This is their biggest problem. These two are very good players, but their current performance is obviously not worthy of the Lakers, a stable starter for a team aiming to hit the championship.
Wacker also understood what everyone meant. He would not protect his son and disciples. On the contrary, the more this was the case, the more he had to show strength.Otherwise, there is no way to convince the crowd. After being the head coach for so many years, he still understands this.
So after this team meeting, the Lakers lineup has also made great adjustments!Robert and Wally dropped out of the starting lineup at the same time!
