After the Lakers defeated the Warriors, they beat the Rockets and Hawks back-to-back to suffer two straight defeats.
Because Sunday just played two overtimes with the Golden State Warriors, his physical strength was exhausted. The next day, they played the Rockets, which are strong in the West, and this back-to-back battle against the Hawks.
These two battles have lost at least once, and there is a high probability that they will lose two in a row.
In this case, there is a question of trade-offs.
And Hamm's decision on this is speechless:
Bushy Eyebrows suffered an injury during the Warriors' first game and will definitely need to take a break in back-to-back games.
And the strength of the Rocket is obviously stronger than that of the Eagles, and the Shen Jing of the Rockets will make the thick eyebrows play very hard, in this case, the normal coach should be to fight the Eagles with all his might, and give up playing the Rockets (let the thick eyebrows take turns).
But Ham chose to play the Rockets with all his might, and against the Hawks, this is the worst solution.
The ending is: the Lakers were beaten in the game against the Rockets, and there was still a problem with the groin. And one more physical exertion, against the Eagles, it became a must-lose.
Hamm has always been inexplicable about the rotation, and there is a precedent before:
The players in the midseason were overdrawn, and Ham did not take turns off against the strong Mavericks Knicks, and against the Spurs James and James, and gave up the "Tian Ji Horse Race" decisively, and his brain circuit is very understandable.
In this lineup, he put his favorite Hayes as the starter to replace the thick eyebrows, and he didn't play Wood. It even caused Wood to be dissatisfied, and he mocked it on the private **.
It is not difficult to see such a distinctive feature of Hamm:
Wood's defense was too leaky and it was never his cup of tea, so he was DNP for a time and was later forced to reinforce. Hayes defended a little better, but not much better, with poor positional sense. But having a defensive label is Hamm's thing. As soon as the thick eyebrows rested, Hamm used Hayes.
The Lakers' offense was a mess, relying on singles and blocking and dismantling all over the court, and the three-point points were basically not good. Winning depends on defense; Defending requires focus, excitement and fitness. When the physical fitness is not good and the defense is lax, the opponent will brush and shoot three-pointers, or play a fast break, which is the characteristic of the era version.
The Lakers scored by chiseling, and it was very hard, and the three points were not good, which led to a lack of ability to chase points, so the Lakers had to maintain a stalemate when they won the game, and it was difficult to chase once they fell behind too much.
That's why it's hard to win and it's hard to lose.
These two Rockets and Hawks obviously caught the bottleneck of the Lakers' physical fitness, and obviously accelerated, the Eagles were already fast, needless to say, and the Rockets, which were slower, also accelerated, which reflects Udoka's ability to adjust. In addition, it is to impact the second rebound and create the second offense. Both teams are taking advantage of their youthful and strong characteristics to target the Lakers.
Against the Rockets, the Lakers were pushed by the Rockets, the Rockets scored 29 points on the fast break (Lakers 15 points), 18 points on turnovers (Lakers 13 points), 14 rebounds on the Rockets frontcourt (Lakers 4), and 19 points on the secondary offense Rockets (Lakers 6 points). Vanderbilt's ejection drained the team's energy.
Against the Hawks, the Lakers sped up but the effect was like that, the Hawks scored 26 points on the fast break (22 points for the Lakers), 12 points for the Hawks front board (7 for the Lakers), and 21 points for the second attack (11 points for the Lakers); The Lakers' 14 turnovers were about the same as the Hawks' 12, but the Hawks took advantage of the Lakers' turnovers to score 25 points (the Lakers only scored 11).
The Lakers made a good three-point shot in these two games, and they played 37 against the Rockets1% (rocket 33.)3%), against the Hawks 364% (Eagles 42.)1%), but a drop in the bucket will not help.
Of course, after the loss, Hamm will come back from the press conference, which consists of three parts:
We want to take off our hats and salute our opponents;
We don't have a good record because of injuries and other problems;
We'll be fine.
The question arises: if cephalosporin is used as a unit of measurement, then Vogel has at least five cephalosporin levels, right?
