The Lakers are on a four-game winning streak after today's win over the Spurs. They are now back in the same form they started the season. With this wave of consecutive wins, the Lakers' record has also come to fifth place in the West. In the course of the last four consecutive games, attentive fans should notice that James has handed in triple-doubles in every game. It turns out that when James plays an all-around game, the Lakers are more likely to win.
Of course, the most important thing in this four-game winning streak is that Redick has found a reasonable lineup match. His timely deployment of the lineup really made the Lakers reborn on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. One of the most important changes was his addition to Russell to the bench and Reddish to the starting lineup. This made Russell more comfortable playing after coming to the bench. It looks like Russell is completely free of burden on the court, and Reddish's arrival in the starters has strengthened the Lakers' starters' defensive capabilities. It completely solved the problem of weak defense in the Lakers' starting backcourt before.
Of course, Redick also has an important adjustment, which is that he has given Knecket more opportunities to perform in the last two games. And today's game, Knecht also officially entered the starting lineup. Kneckt had a very good performance in both games. Kneckett hit seven three-pointers in the two games and scored a total of 33 points. Overall, Redick's adjustment is to give the pitcher more space. Make the offense and defense of the starters more balanced. Let Russell come to the bench to score and change the Lakers' weak bench this season.
I have to say that Redick's tuning for the Lakers is obvious to all, and these tunings have had a positive effect. He also found the key to the Lakers' victory, which is to structure the team with Davis as the core, so that James can fully motivate other players through passing. Ham has been in the dark for two seasons with the Lakers and has never found a solution. In Hamm's coaching philosophy, Davis' tactical role is not taken seriously.
If the Lakers want to win more games in the future, the most important thing is to establish an offensive style of play with Davis as the core, and then make full use of James' basketball IQ on the court to mobilize the Lakers' pitchers. Allowing the Lakers to get some easy shots. Because their players' three-point shooting ability is not strong, if every game is a difficult shot, their shooting percentage will be very low every game. Only if the Lakers play a full-fledged game will they be able to deal with any opponent without panicking. Just like in the last two games, their overall three-point shooting is very good, and the main reason is that James fully mobilized every teammate and brought out their three-point shooting ability.
