Xa iinkalo ezithile zomdlalo zingabonakali ngokukhawuleza njengoko wayethemba, uLeBron James wayengafuni ukuyivuma.
Kwangoko, wadlala phantsi imibuzo malunga nokuba wayezilungiselele na ngokwasemzimbeni emva kwexesha elifutshane. Ngobuchule wawuphepha umbuzo wokuba uyigcina njani ibukhali intloko yakhe. NgoLwesine ebusuku, uye wenza ibango (ekrokrelayo) lokuba akadinwa kuhambo lwakhe lwendlela ezisi-7 kwisizini ye-18: “Ingqondo yam ayizange ifikelele kwinqanaba elinje, ‘Ewe, olu luhambo olude lwendlela, bendihleli. udiniwe okanye udiniwe. Andiyicingi nokuyicinga le nto.”
Yingakho xa wathi i-Lakers isakhangela umgca omtsha ngeli xesha, unyanzelekile kakhulu-kwaye kutheni kufuneka ubeke ingqalelo.
“Imidlalo yethu emininzi ikwayimithambo emikhulu nakuthi,” utshilo. “Kufuneka sifunde ngoko nangoko, kwaye umqeqeshi usafunda amaqela ahlukeneyo ukuze abone ukuba yeyiphi indibaniselwano esebenzayo nokuba yeyiphi engekhoyo. Mna ngokwam, ndidlala uluhlu oluthile apho j iqela elithile endingalidlaliyo, imigca ethile endiyidlalayo Uluhlu… La ngamava okufunda, kwaye sonke sisebenza nzima ukusombulula le ngxaki.”
Kwinkwenkwezi yeqela eliphumelele ubuntshatsheli kwelinye lawa kwikota yokuqala yesizini kwaye yaqala ngo-10-0 endleleni, oku kubonakala ngathi kukungeniswa okumangalisayo. Kodwa ngakumbi ngoLwesine ebusuku eDetroit, ukujikeleza kwamadoda ali-11 kunye nobunzima obuthile bokuziqhelanisa nabadlali abatsha babonakaliswe kakuhle kwi-107-92 ilahleko kwiPistons, eyayiphawula i-league ephantsi enokuthi ifikelele phezulu ngokukhawuleza. Kwe.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Lakers ibeka indawo yesithathu phakathi kwamaqela adlale ubuncinane imizuzu ye-75 kwiligi. Uluhlu lwabo lokuqala lunexabiso elipheleleyo +17.1. Xa babelana ngenkundla, banecala elite (elite rating) kunye nokukhusela okuhle kakhulu (103.9 i-defensive rating). Naluphi na uluhlu lukaJames noDavis lulungile (bagqithise abachasi babo ngamanqaku e-128 kwimizuzu ye-378), kodwa uMarc Gasol, uKentavios Caldwell-Pop kunye noDennis Schroe I-pitch, ukudubula kunye ne-dribble amanqaku anikezelwe yiJamani (ngokulandelelana) ukudala i-ecosystem efanelekileyo uninzi lwabachasi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ezinye zeendlela ezidlalwa kakhulu zeLakers azibonakali zisebenza nonke. Oku kuquka iqela likaJames kunye nabanye abaphambili ababandakanya uMarkieff Morris, uMontrez Harrell noKyle Kuzma kunye noWesley Matthews (minus 12.4). Xa uYakobi ephuma ebhentshini kwikota yokuqala, umgca weDavis, uMatthews, uKuzma, uHarrell noSchroder (-17.9) akazange abonakale esebenza, ngokukodwa kwicala lokukhusela, nangona uDavis Uyabonwa liqela njengeyona nto ikhuselayo. umdlali.
Abona balandeli baphambeneyo baneminye imibuzo: Kutheni uAlex Caruso engadlali imidlalo emininzi? Phantse naliphi na iqela eliye ladlala kulo, unokuba nefuthe elihle ngenxa yokukhusela kwakhe okuzinzile kunye nokuqonda okukhubekisayo kunye nokuphucula ipesenti ezintathu zokudubula. Kodwa i-avareji yakhe yokudlala kwiqela ibekwe kwindawo yesithoba. Abanye bafuna ukubona ngakumbi uTaron Horton-Tucker, onamahla ndinyuka amaninzi xa edlala imizuzu enentsingiselo, kodwa egcwele amandla-nokuba nguJared Dudley eDanny Kwisiqendu samva nje seGreenos podcast, i-pHe kufuneka idlale.q
Kukho izinto ezininzi ezidlalwayo ekudaleni uluhlu oluhlala isizini yonke, uninzi lwazo alunanto yakwenza namanani. UFrank Vogel wathetha ngale veki iphelileyo xa wayethetha ngesizathu sokuba adlale umgca weJames Kuzma Harrell Morris Matthews (I-Athletic's Jovan Buha ibiza ngokufanelekileyo ngokuthi "i-Meh lineup").
“Amaxesha amaninzi, ndizama ukunika abadlali ixesha lokudlala elibafaneleyo ukuze babe nefuthe kwiqela lethu,” utshilo uVogel. "Ngamanye amaxesha oku kukhokelela kuluhlu olungafezekanga."
Nazi ezinye iingcamango ezinxulumene nengxoxo yomgca eyanceda ukubumba oko kwenziwa yiLakers. Ezi ngcamango zibonakala zinengqiqo, kwaye ezinye azikwenzi.
Abadlali abatsha bafuna ixesha lokuzidibanisa: Inye into evele igqame ngokukhawuleza: abadlali abane kwabasibhozo abaphezulu abanemizuzu emininzi enkundleni ngabadlali abatsha. Emva kukaJames noDavis nguSchroeder noHarrell, emva kukaCaldwell-Pop kunye noKuzma nguGasol noMatthews. Ngaba le yibhalansi efanelekileyo esekelwe kwitalente ecocekileyo? Mhlawumbi akunjalo. Yintoni eyona nto ixhalabisayo kukuba ukuba kuyaqondakala kwiqela elinamandla, idatha ebalulekileyo yokuvelisa kuzo zonke ezine, kubandakanywa nokufaka amanqaku, iwile ngeli xesha xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elidlulileyo.
Kodwa inyaniso kukuba abasandul 'ukufika bafuna impinda ngakumbi kunabo babuyayo. UJames noSchroder kufuneka baqonde ixesha labo lokutshintshiselana ngoxanduva lokuphatha. I-Gasol kufuneka ifumane indlela yokwenza igalelo elingakumbi kwisiphelo esihlaselayo. UHarrell ufuna ubudlelwane obungcono bokuzikhusela. UMatthews kufuneka afumane indlela yakhe kuloyiko ekuqaleni kwesizini. Ngokukodwa kwixesha lonyaka apho kungekho zininzi iinkampu zoqeqesho kwaye phantse akukho xesha lokuziqhelanisa ngenxa yeshedyuli enzima kunye nesivumelwano esicela umngeni kwi-COVID-19, abasebenzi babaqeqeshi bazama nje ukubonelela ngezongezo ezitsha kunye nexesha lokudlala elininzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Nokuba imveliso ayisoloko ifikelela kumzuzu.
Oku kunokuba nento yokwenza noCaruso. Ukuba iLakers icinga ukuba kuyimfuneko, unokudlala ngokucacileyo ngakumbi. Kodwa uye wangqina: Kolunye uluhlu lokugqibela, uVogel uyawathemba amandla akhe okudibanisa kwinkqubo ngokwaneleyo ukuba amsebenzise. Wongeze ngelithi ukugcina impilo kaCaruso yinzuzo kwiqela.
“Ngokucacileyo, uAlex ngumntu nje esimthembileyo kwaye uyayiqonda inkqubo yethu,” utshilo. “Sifuna ukwazi ukumkhusela kwimidlalo (imidlalo) engamashumi asixhenxe anesibini. Udlale nzima kakhulu. Ndiyazi ukungadlali kakhulu, ungamvumeli abethwe, kwaye umbeke kwindawo esengozini.”
-Iziqinisekiso zibalulekile kweli qela: Abalandeli be-Holden Tucker, ubonwa kwaye uviwe. Kodwa kwiqela lamagqala, umdlali oneminyaka engama-20 ngokucacileyo uyinto engaqhelekanga kujikelezo, ngaphandle kwetalente yakhe. Nangona ukusebenza kakuhle kukaHorton-Tuckeros kubonakala ngathi kuthelekiseka naleyo kaMatthews nabanye, kuthatha iinzame ezingaqhelekanga ukumenza ukuba adlule kuMatthews kujikelezo lwexesha eliqhelekileyo. Inxalenye yesizathu kukuba uMatthews ngumdlali wexesha elide. Umqali wakhe we-NBA waphumelela, ngenxa yokuba wadlala kakhulu kumdlalo wokudlala.
Ngemigangatho emininzi, uMatthews khange aqale kakuhle (i-avareji ye-4.7 amanqaku, i-1.1 rebounds, i-1.0 encedisayo, i-36.4% yamanqaku amathathu), nokuba uqwalasela ukwehla kwexesha lakhe lokudlala, umdlalo wakhe ngamnye Amanqaku aphakathi ngomzuzu kunye nomjikelo ngamnye uya hlala eyona ndawo iphantsi yomsebenzi wakhe. Kodwa iLakers idlala imidlalo yexesha elide, hayi imidlalo yethutyana. U-Matthews akanakwenzeka ukuba abe nempembelelo kaRajon Rondo kwi-playoffs, kodwa njengomdlali we-veteran, kunokwenzeka ukuba alungele i-playoffs, kunye no-Horton Tucker nakwesiqhelo Imiboniso yayinoburhalarhume kwaye ibukhali kumdlalo. Kukho ubusuku obumnandi njengaye eDetroit, ezi-5 kwezisi-7 zokudubuleka ngabancedisi, kunye nobusuku obungaqinisekanga njengokudubula kwakhe oku-1 kwezisi-8 eHouston. Kuba uMatthews ufuna iibhola ezimbalwa kunoHorton Tucker, kumnceda abone ngakumbi inkundla.
Oku kukwabonelela ngexesha lokudlala kubadlali abafana noMorris. Akazange afumane umnxeba wakhe wokudubula ngexesha lokudlala kwemilingo, kodwa wayenekhemistri eninzi ngaphandle kwenkundla nabanye abadlali ababuyayo, wathatha urhwebo oluncinci ukuba abuyele, kwaye mhlawumbi Ixesha lokudlala lisabaluleke kakhulu. Ihlawulela ukumgcina evuya kwindima ezinzile, kwaye le ndlela ayibonakali kubalandeli abaqhelekileyo.
-I-Lakers sele iyazi into abayicingayo ngoluhlu oluthile: I-Lakers ekugqibeleni yenza oko ngoLwesithathu ebusuku, kwaye oku kunokuba yinto engcono kakhulu. UDavis wayesebenza njengeziko, uJames wayesebenza njengonogada, uCaruso, uCaldwell-Pop kunye noSchroeder babenoxanduva lokuzikhusela nokudubula. Badibanisa i-13-0 kwaye baphantse bayoyisa iPhiladelphia endleleni. Oku kubuyela kwisifundo kumdlalo wokudlala wowama-2020: UJames, uDavis kunye nabadlali abathathu bangaphandle baseke elona qela libalaseleyo nelingenakoyiswa.
"Ngokubhekiselele kwisantya sokukhusela, olu luhlu luneenzuzo ezithile malunga nesantya sokukhusela i-AD kunye neBrown njengamadoda amabini amakhulu kunye nento abanokuyenza," kusho uVogel. "Kodwa u-Alex, i-KCP, kunye noDennis ngokucacileyo bakwisantya esiphakamileyo se-perimeter kunye namandla okuqulatha. Kwaye banendawo eninzi yokukhaba kunye nokukhaba ibhola, kwaye badlale loo mdlalo ngokuchasene ne-AD kwindawo yesihlanu. Ke kukho into entle kwelinye icala, ayizukuba sisitshixo endisisebenzisa rhoqo ebusuku. ”
Iphakamisa umbuzo: kutheni kungenjalo? Ukuba iLakers ingasebenzisa loo mgca ukutyumza wonke umntu, kutheni ungadlali ubusuku bonke? Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, olu luhlu ludlale imizuzu eli-19 kuphela, amanqaku ali-19 aphezulu kunomchasi.
Kuzo zonke izihloko, oku kubandakanya eyona ngqikelelo. Kodwa ingongoma enengqiqo kukuba ukuba iLakers iyazi ukuba inoluhlu oluxhobileyo olunokutshatyalaliswa nangaliphi na ixesha, kutheni kufuneka babonakalise ngexesha eliqhelekileyo? U-Kuzma uthe umqeqeshi oncedisayo u-Jason Kidd uye wachaza ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuba ixesha eliqhelekileyo liziqhelanisa nemidlalo ye-playoffs, ezama ukufumana iindlela ezisebenzayo zokuyilungisa, kwaye uqiniseke ukuba iyenzela uchungechunge olungcono lwemidlalo esixhenxe. Lungela.
I-Lakers iyazi ukuba umgca uyasebenza-akukho mfuneko yokuyilungisa. Njengoko i-playoffs isondela, lindela ukubona ngakumbi, kodwa okwangoku, sele ibukhali kakhulu.
Ubuncinci omnye umdlali unemeko yekhontrakthi efanelekileyo: kuwo wonke umdlali ophambili kwiqela, kuphela i-Schroder-engazange ivalwe ixesha elide. Ngenxa yokuba bathengisa i-27-ubudala kunye noDanny Green kunye neekhethi zokuqala, i-Lakers ifuna ukumgcina, ubuncinane ngoku, ubonakala enomdla.
USchroder uqale isizini kakuhle, kodwa ukusebenza kwakhe kwehlile ukusukela kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala. Kuyaphawuleka ukuba ipesenti yakhe yokudubula yamanqaku amathathu yi-30.3% kuphela, ukuhla okubukhali xa kuthelekiswa nesizini edlulileyo. Kodwa okwangoku, kunye nokwandiswa kwekhontrakthi enokwenzeka ngoFebruwari, ukumgcina ekhululekile kwindawo yokuqala kunye nokudlala ngaphantsi kwemizuzu ye-31 ngobusuku kukulungele ixesha elide le-Lakers. Nangona uCaruso unokunkqonkqoza emnyango ngexesha lakhe, oku akunakwenzeka nje ukuba iLakers ixoxisana nokugcina isivumelwano seSchroder sexesha elide.
UVogel ukholelwa ukuba ukutshintsha iindima kunceda ukugcina abadlali abathile bebandakanyekile: Enye into enceda ukucacisa iqela elingaqhelekanga okanye ukunyanzelisa kuluhlu olungabonakali lusebenza ziinzame zeVogelos zokuzisa abadlali abohlukeneyo ngobusuku obahlukeneyo. Yiza ngamandla ohlukeneyo. Umzekelo, uKuzma ngumdlali ogqwesileyo wamanqaku kuluhlu oluqalayo. Xa uHarrell engadlali namanye amadoda amakhulu, anjengoGasol okanye uDavis, unendawo eninzi yokusebenza. Xa uMatthews ekuphela komlindi wokwenyani kuluhlu, unokufumana ibhola ngakumbi kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba akhusele umbambi webhola okhokelayo.
Ukwahlukahlukana sisinongo sobomi kunye nentlantsi kugqatso lomgama omde. Ngamanye amaxesha iqela kufuneka lenze into yokulibhidanisa. Ngexesha lobukhosi bomkhosi, umqeqeshi uSteve Kerr wayedume ngokuvumela abadlali bakhe ukuba benze izicwangciso zabo kwibhodi emhlophe. Ezi zinto aziphumeleli umdlalo omnye, kodwa zifaka utshintsho oluthile olumnandi okanye oluyimfuneko kwinkcubeko. Ke ewe, ezinye iilineups azisoloko zinengqiqo-kodwa ngokubanzi, iLakers isaphumelela. Ubunzulu beqela bunokuba nzima ukulawula, kodwa oko kuthetha ukuba iLakers ineendawo ezininzi zeempazamo ngelixa ihlangabezana neemfuno zomntu:
Ngokomzekelo, akukho nto eyenzekayo ukuba uHorton-Tucker waqhambuka i-DNP eqhubekayo kwidolophu yakubo yaseChicago, kwaye akukho nto eyenzekayo ukuba uKuzma athathe indawo kaMorris kwidolophu yakubo yaseMichigan naseDavis. Kubalandeli, oku kusenokungabonakali njengento enkulu, kodwa abadlali bayazixabisa ezi zinto.
Ke ewe, umgca omtsha nongaqhelekanga ngamava okufunda. Kodwa ukoyiswa ngasemva ePhiladelphia naseDetroit akubonisi ukuba iqela elisekwesona siqalo sibalaseleyo se-NBA liya kuwela kwintlekele. Uluhlu lufanelekile ukuqwalaselwa, kodwa oku akusiyo into eyenza abalandeli bakaLakers babuhlungu. Impembelelo idla ngokuba ngaphezu kokubonwayo.
