Of course, D'Antoni was not completely satisfied with the Lakers' current lineup, because Gasol is still there.

When it comes to Gasol, he plays a bit softly, but this problem should not be a problem in D'Antoni's tactical system. So why is he not favored by his coach? The reason is very simple. He runs slowly and always wants to be in the inside and play in the inside. But D'Antoni hopes that he will pull to the three-point line every time to make a long shot. The most important thing is that Gasol has adapted to the triangular offense that uses him as the center axis. Now D'Antoni has completely stripped his ball rights and refused to let him support him, but it is like turning him into a pitcher who catches the ball. How is this possible?

With such a big difference, there is no conflict between the two.

Last season, D'Antoni made a ruthless voice: Gasol is not adapted to the team's current style of playing? Then he's better to adapt. The team doesn't need a guy who is useless in the tactical system.

This is the ultimatum to Gasol, the implication is that the team will trade him out.

As soon as this statement was made, even Kobe and Nash, who had always supported D'Antoni, could not stand it anymore. Is this what the coach should say? A successful coach should find a tactic suitable for most players in the team to execute it? How can you force players to adapt and if you don't, then trade. Who do he think he is? Fascist or Nazi?

So Kobe supported Gasol in public many times, believing that the team should let him play more than he could.

So Nash made a voice and publicly demanded the team that he would play with a big man like Gasol who could pass the ball, which would be more conducive to his performance!

Now, Kupchek, who was still in a difficult situation, knew who to support. In the end, Gasol stayed in the team and D'Antoni wanted to establish his authority, but he was disappointed. Only then did he realize that his stubborn style would not work in Los Angeles.

Not just that one? Before a season ends, everyone in the world already knows that D'Antoni and his tactics are not suitable for the Lakers at all. Bus Jr. brought him in was a stupid mistake made because he didn't understand basketball!

Finally, Nash was silent. Kobe came forward to clarify that it was not his idea to ask D'Antoni to coach the team. He also hoped that Phil Jackson could come back.

For a moment, D'Antoni, who was already at the forefront, was forced to the cliff. If the team hadn't been lucky enough to enter the playoffs, he would probably not be able to explain anyway.

This guy is even worse than Mike Brown who was fired by the Lakers. At least Brown doesn’t make any noise, D'Antoni is just playing the piano!

This is what Xiao Han thought when watching the Lakers game last year.

Interesting things continued to happen. Gasol performed well in the playoffs and became the biggest contributor to D'Antoni's last bit of face. I wonder if this stubborn old man still didn't think about being grateful to Gasol, and was glad that he didn't send him away, but was thinking: if Espanyol had been sent away earlier, the team might not have fallen into this position.

If this is true, D'Antoni is too heartbreaking, but no matter what he thinks, he will never dare to mention the trade of Gasol no matter what, when there is no one in the team's interior.

Xiao Han's arrival actually saved D'Antoni! He must be reluctant, but it is undeniable that he did make D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics possible to be implemented on the Lakers.

Xiao Han really wanted to say it out loud. In fact, he prefers to play in a team with a defensive atmosphere, but he cannot because he cannot publicly create conflicts within the team.

D'Antoni would never know that in Xiao Han's real thoughts, he was not a qualified head coach at all. It's ridiculous that he couldn't help but look forward to the future, the more he loved Xiao Han.

This guy Xiao Han is really very compatible. At this time, he showed it in time...

Gasol was also secretly happy about Xiao Han's arrival. He didn't know whether Xiao Han liked running and bombing, nor did he know what Xiao Han really thought, but he had eyes and could observe, so he knew very well that Xiao Han was good at passing the ball, and it happened to be a power forward. This was not only an unexpected surprise, but also a brand new hope.

Gasol didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay in the Lakers. As a senior Spaniard, he certainly liked the aristocratic atmosphere here. Speaking of the word aristocratic, we have to say that D'Antoni and his running and bombing tactics really have nothing to do with the aristocrats.

Gasol is also waiting for Xiao Han to save him. As long as the two can cooperate in a subtle way, his position in the team will be stabilized. Gasol is now very clear that as the three words of championship occupy more and more Kobe's mind, his former good friends will no longer spare any effort to protect him. He can only rely on his own efforts to stay.

The situation of the Lakers is so complicated at this time, because it is because Kobe is not involved, otherwise, what would have happened?

Xiao Han is also quite troubled now. The team is full of things. In addition, it is far from his turn to decide here, so he feels at a loss. Xiao Han doesn't even know what kind of lineup D'Antoni will use after the regular season officially starts, whether to let Nash play as a substitute or let them partner in the backcourt.

Think about it, the latter is the most common. After all, there are many such things now, and there is a special name called double point guard. The players are at a high level, and everyone can control the ball and pass the ball. The emergence of the two-point guard style of playing should be said to be a major improvement in the history of basketball development. But is the Lakers really suitable for this style of playing now?

Xiao Han didn't know either.

He is also looking for abuse by himself, staying with the Bobcats, or going to another Bobcats team. He is the absolute core and it is great to be able to maintain an absolute influence on the coach. He has to go to the Lakers to realize his dream, but he has no freedom even when he should play and how he should play the game.

Of course, Xiao Han is not afraid. He can take it step by step. Only by gaining the same status as his in the Bobcats and Rockets era in a team like the Lakers can he truly feel a sense of accomplishment.

There are three championships, and Xiao Han doesn't want to surpass Jordan, so his pursuit of personal honor is almost over. What he lacks is just a comment on his historical status when he retires. He is playing now for a sense of accomplishment, and his greatest sense of accomplishment is to personally improve the historical status of the Lakers team, and his ambition is indeed commendable.

Chamberlain and Jabbar, the first team to play in their careers is not the Lakers, but they have all become great stars in Lakers' history. What Xiao Han has to do is catch up and even surpass them, not only in basketball history, NBA history, but also in the history of the Lakers. Xiao Han even wants to become the greatest star in Lakers' history, at least he must be tied with Kobe.

It's all very difficult, and the last one is especially difficult.

First of all, it was not just Chamberlain, Jabbar, Baylor, "Magic" Johnson, Jerry West and others who stood in front of him. Secondly, Kobe devoted his entire career to the Lakers, so he has now become the first in team history. Xiao Han's career has been transferred to three teams, and it should have been one-third of it.

Doesn’t this mean that Xiao Han wants to use two-thirds of his career to start over and surpass Kobe, Magic Johnson, and West in his life’s achievements?

This is almost impossible to achieve.
