Chapter 64 The trade and reinforcement that made the entire basketball world go crazy!(1/5)
Chapter 64 makes the entire basketball world crazy with transactions and reinforcements!
If the Lakers want to win the championship this season, they can't just talk or shout slogans, they need to be based on reality.
The reality is that if you want to win the championship, you must defeat the Heat in the finals.
If you want to make it to the Finals, you have to break through from the Western Conference.
Now the Lakers' record has been brought from 17 wins and 25 losses to 25 wins and 25 losses by Du Kang. The record is just above the 50% line. This season, they are not even the top eight in the Western Conference, but only the ninth in the Western Conference.
The Spurs, who are number one in the Western Conference, have a current record of 39 wins and 12 losses, the Thunder, who are second in the Western Conference, have a current record of 38 wins and 13 losses, the Clippers, who are third in the Western Conference, have a record of 35 wins and 17 losses, and the Nuggets, who are fourth in the Western Conference,
The record is 33 wins and 18 losses. The Grizzlies, fifth in the Western Conference, have a record of 31 wins and 18 losses. The Warriors, sixth in the Western Conference, have a record of 30 wins and 20 losses. The Jazz, seventh in the Western Conference, have a record of 28 wins and 23 losses. Houston, eighth in the Western Conference, has a record of 28.
Wins and 24 losses.
If you want to break out of the Western Conference, based on the Lakers' current record, a more rational idea is that in the first round, they must face the top four teams in the Western Conference, the Spurs, Thunder, Nuggets, and Clippers.
Even if the Lakers win in the end and the Clippers have some problems behind them, allowing the Lakers to take first place in the Pacific Division, rank in the top four, and rank third, the opponent in the first round will still be the Clippers.
Either the Nuggets or the Grizzlies.
As for the regular season, reach the top two in the Western Conference, surpassing the Spurs or Thunder.
Well, don't think too much. There are not 100 games in the NBA regular season, only 82. The Lakers can't win that many, and the Spurs and Thunder can't lose that many.
Therefore, with just a little clue, Du Kang can clearly know who the Lakers' opponent in the first round is.
It's best to rush to the top six and avoid the Spurs and Thunder.
Then choose between the Nuggets, Clippers and Grizzlies.
The Nuggets are a crazy team, with Faried, Iguodala, Corey Brewer, Wilson Chandler, Gallinari...
Under the guidance of George Karl, these forwards who are about 2.05 meters tall can directly defeat the current Lakers.
Let's put it this way, the Lakers can't even find five forwards who can match up with the Nuggets. Artest and Kobe are the only two wing forwards that can be used in front of them.
If the Lakers want to deal with the Nuggets opponent, they need at least four wing forwards, and they need to be able to fight.
With the rise of James, Durant and Anthony, the most valuable thing in the league now is the wing forward. If you want it, others don't have enough.
Let’s talk about the Clippers. The Clippers are different from the Nuggets, a team that is all about wings. The Clippers are a team that combines both inside and outside. It is known as the city of lobs. As you can tell from the nickname, it is actually the same.
Running crazy team.
It's just that the Nuggets run on the wings and the Clippers run on the inside. Relatively speaking, the Lakers can match up.
The Lakers' Howard and Yi Jianlian can run, but Du Kang is afraid that Nash and Kobe can't run Paul, Bledsoe, and Billups.
When it comes to boxing, I'm afraid of being young, not to mention there are so many people.
There is no way for the Lakers to be young and strong, but they can't be younger than others, right?
Let's just put it this way. Except for Kobe and Nash who have fighting ability, everyone else on the Lakers' defense line is a loser.
In a real match against the Clippers, Du Kang doubted that the Clippers' sixth man, Crawford, could defeat the Lakers' backup guards.
This does not include the Clippers who still have Caron Butler and Du Kang's old senior Matt Barnes.
Du Kang doesn’t need to talk about the technical, tactical and system duel. Just in terms of the number of people and the small number, you have to compete with the Clippers.
The Lakers also need at least three capable guards.
Well, we lacked 2-3 capable wings in the front, and now we lack 3 capable defenders.
So what do the Lakers need to beat the Grizzlies?
When it comes to grizzly bears, Du Kang has lingering fears.
The Grizzlies' reputation in the NBA over the past two years has been too brutal.
Regardless of whether you are first in the Western Conference or in the league, anyone who faces the Grizzlies will shed a layer of skin.
Gasol, Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, Tony Allen, Conley, Prince...
A balanced one and a strong defensive one.
Du Kang suspected that by then, in the playoffs, Kobe would be exhausted by Tony Allen, Nash would be exhausted by Conley, and the Arab League would be exhausted by Randolph.
In the end, the Lakers were suffocated by the Grizzlies.
The problem of the Arab League being forced to death by Randolph is easy to solve. The Lakers have many power forwards, but if Kobe is really pestered by Allen or Nash is pestered by Conley, can the Lakers have defenders who can step forward to help?
At the same time, can anyone on the Lakers' front line stand up to Gay?
Artest is estimated to be in doubt, at least one will definitely not be enough. Artest can work hard for more than 10 minutes and grit his teeth, but grit his teeth for 48 minutes. It's really difficult for him.
Therefore, when playing against the Grizzlies, the Lakers are short of 1-2 forwards and wings and 2-3 guards.
Considering these three teams, there are 2 wing forwards and 3 defenders.
If the Lakers are to break through the first round as their imaginary enemy, they also need two capable wing forwards and three capable guards.
Five outstanding players!
It is not easy for other teams to replace an excellent guard or wing. The Lakers now need five. Do you feel numb?
But who told you to have so many power forwards on your team?
On the outside, Nash, Kobe and Artest can be used.
They are all veterans, so it is no wonder that the current Lakers are called the "outside playground" by other teams in the league. You want to say that you are a star outside player, but if you don't produce good statistics against the Lakers, you will be embarrassed to call yourself a star outside player.
Now you know why Aunt Jenny is so confident that Jim Shampoo must get out, right?
As for Jim Shu's idea of building a team, it is purely amateur. It is not even as good as a head coach with a fan level like Du Kang.
After all, Du Kang still knows how to count heads and knows that the team is short of defenders and forwards.
With the Lakers' top-heavy lineup, winning the championship is a joke.
In fact, judging from the experience of previous games, Wade and Durant have penetrated all the Lakers' perimeters.
Well, that doesn’t include James and Westbrook who were tricked by Du Kang.
If they hadn't been tricked by Du Kang, these two could have penetrated the Lakers' perimeter again.
Originally, when Dukang was thinking about the Lakers' reinforcement plan in the early morning, the thought of the four major points was just a temporary idea.
Later, when Du Kang was studying the Lakers' current lineup, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this idea was very reasonable.
Now if the Lakers want to win the championship, they need to add five excellent wings and guards.
It's hard to find an excellent wing or defender. If you want to find five, do you really think God is your biological father?
Since there are no outstanding ones now, what about the outstanding ones in the past?
Take Nash's experience.
For those superstar veterans, as long as you help them recover their physical fitness, their combat effectiveness will soar. If they have sufficient MP in the future, they can restore their athletic ability.
With their skills and various offensive and defensive attributes, not only their combat effectiveness has returned to its peak, but also its recovery is definitely enough.
The most important thing is that either no one wants these superstar veterans, or they are not of high value.
It is also the easiest to operate.
Moreover, among the four major guards, Tracy McGrady and Carter can both play forward and guard, and can meet the requirements of both wing forwards and defenders, which directly allows Du Kang to reduce the requirements of two personnel.
And Iverson, if he is willing to play the sixth man, he is simply the perfect sixth man.
From three o'clock in the morning until I showed up at Jim's office.
Du Kang didn't rest or sleep for a minute. He kept thinking about this problem. In the end, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
It's even the Lakers' best approach right now.
Because the Lakers passed the first round, they are destined to face players like Durant and James in the future.
Just passive defense will definitely not work.
When we meet the Thunder in the playoffs and put the four major points in front of Durant, I'll see if Durant can succeed in facing Du Xiaoshuai's emotional hostage strategy.
These are all your idols!
Ahem, just kidding, everyone knows that Durant hits an idol harder than a child.
Every time I met Kobe or Carter, I would do it to death, just because I was afraid that if I didn’t do it this time, next time these idols would be gone, there would be no chance to do it.
If the Lakers really reach the Finals by then.
Facing James, the Heat's leader, Du Kang can also create a drama of "four major guards fighting James"!
Let’s see if it’s my four top guards who beat James, or it’s you, King James, who beats my four top guards.
At the very least, the four major points are testing guards. At least it can embolden people, and at least they look scary. Even if they can't scare the opponent to death, they can still make the opponent laugh to death. Ahem, I'm just kidding.
Du Kang feels that in the remaining 32 regular season games, as long as he carefully saves his MP, he can save at least 20,000 MP, 20,000 MP, and increase the combat effectiveness of the other three major tiers to 70% or 80% of the peak.
There should be some drama, right?
By then, the Lakers' championship lineup will be taken shape.
In the Lakers vice president's office, Jim Shu finally had the patience to read through Du Kangzheng's plan to strengthen the Lakers.
To be continued...
