The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: Jerry West sat in the forum and carefully reviewed the Lakers' four consecutive road losses.

One of them was a big defeat by double digits, and one was a narrow defeat by only one point.

Big losses are usually nothing to study, and West focused on the narrow loss to the Pacers.

West noticed something from the stat sheet.

The Lakers had a 15-point lead in the first three quarters.

But in the fourth quarter, they were brushed out by the Pacers 36-20 offense.

What is more noteworthy is that the Lakers made 11 turnovers in the first three quarters and 9 turnovers in the fourth quarter.

In terms of big data, the Lakers have averaged 20.2 turnovers per game this season, ranking first in the league, 1.8 more than the Dallas Mavericks, who are second in turnovers per game.

The Mavericks ranked last in the West and belonged to the Tank Corps.

The Lakers belong to the first group in the Western Conference. They are still close to winning the championship, but they are definitely the top team.

It is unreasonable to have so many mistakes.

Moreover, the teams that Louis has coached in the past have generally averaged in the middle of the league in turnovers.

Neither high nor low, why after the Lakers came, the mistakes could not be controlled?

This can be regarded as West's first replay of the Lakers game this season.

Everything was normal in the first three quarters. If we play at that rhythm, the Pacers should not be able to beat the Lakers.

But the fourth quarter...

Wilson threw the counter-attacking long pass out of bounds, opening the nightmare of the Lakers' 9 turnovers in a single quarter being reversed by the Pacers.

In hindsight, Wilson's mistake turned out to be the most normal mistake for the Lakers in the fourth quarter.

Other mistakes gave West a strange feeling of "wrong?"

The first is the tactics the Lakers played in the fourth quarter, which was completely different from the first three quarters.

For some reason, they abandoned their conventional tactics of establishing their own advantage and adopted new, high-risk tactics.

Each play in the fourth quarter involved five players.

Moreover, this tactic is actually played from beginning to end?

After making a mistake, Louis didn't react, just let the player continue to play.

The second time, there was an obvious problem with the handover of the ball.

The third time, the tactic was finally completed.

Also this time, West felt the mystery of the new tactics.

Wilson's cut is beautiful;

It is even more exciting that Garnett transfers to the high position on the right wing after completing the screen to get the vacancy;

Ellis flashed the bottom corner;

Laettner at the top of the arc;

At a glance, the tragic division had four scoring opportunities, and the Pacers' defense was completely messed up.

The Pacers' defense was dizzy, and the tragic player, for stability, gave the ball to Wilson who cut in. At the moment of receiving the ball, Wilson threw it from behind to Ellis in the bottom corner, who also helped the Lakers score with a solid open three-pointer.

"Beautiful." West said with emotion, "If we can control our mistakes and make the offense in each round as smooth as this one, I really don't know any team that can guard us."

Mitch Kupchak said with a serious face: "The problem is, the mistakes can't be controlled."

"This is leaderlu's new system, which he named 'Beautiful Basketball'. There are four tactics in this system. At present, players have only learned the first and most basic tactics."

West asked unexpectedly: "Such a complicated tactic, just the basics?"

"Yeah, and I don't think the players can master it, even someone as smart as Erwin is making mistakes because of this new tactic, and he's now averaging more turnovers than his career peak."

West fell silent.

He continued to watch game footage.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Pacers have caught up.

But West has found that Louis does not care about winning or losing this game.

Louie was determined to use this game to test whether the team could play a full quarter of the new tactics.

The result must have hit him hard, with 9 turnovers in a single quarter, and while it would be unreasonable to translate that to 36 overall turnovers, few teams can still win with that many turnovers in a single quarter. .

In order to test the new tactics, the Lakers squandered the lead established in the first three quarters, and were eventually beaten by the Pacers.

Does this even fail?

Rather, this is just the beginning.

West did not stay in the office with Kupchak to continue discussing whether the new tactics would be suitable for the Lakers.

Because whether it's suitable or not, Louis will persevere.

Rather than discussing how compatible new tactics are with the team, see how you can help yourself.

West walked out of his office and planned to stop by the president's office.

West walked to the door of the office, found the door open, and went in.

It turned out that the Louie was not inside, but Jim Bass, the slut, sitting on the throne of the president, with his feet on the table.

Jim almost fell off his chair when he saw someone coming.

"J...Jerry!" Jim asked respectfully after getting up. "Who are you looking for?"

West asked in confusion: "Isn't this the president's office?"

"Ah yes yes yes, it's the president's office, the president is not there, I'll help watch..."

So you're looking at his office in the ugliest pose in the world?

What West didn't know was that that was Louie's most common position in the office, and Jim was just learning it. Even if Louis ran into him, he would at most blame the dude for sitting in his chair without a cushion.

"What about the others?"

"Go down to supervise training, you don't know, Jerry, Coach Lu is diligent!"

"Then you keep looking at his office here."

"Of course, that's my job!"

West shook his head in disgust.

As long as he thinks that this son-in-law is likely to sit in Louis's position in the future, he is uneasy.

Of course, by that time he may have retired.

But it is also possible that he chose to retire because he did not want to see that scene happen.

West prefers Jenny to Jim.

Unlike the playboy, Jenny was promoted by her own performance. Although she didn't necessarily have much talent, she was definitely much stronger than this **** who was strong outside and working in the middle.

West saw where Louis was at a glance.

It was Court Three, and Garnett was training one-on-one with Bird.

They were training hard, but they heard West say, "Does this have any training effect?"

"Yo, Jerry, why are you here?"

"Come and see." West asked with a weird smile that Louis had never seen before. "You won't be unwelcome, will you?"

"How can I do it? I can't ask for it. It just so happens that you can help me with some opinions." Louis pointed his eyes at Garnett. "Do you think there is any room for improvement in that kid's skills?"

West said the obvious.

"If he is the 3rd or 2nd position, I would say that his basic skills are very good." West shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he is too tall."

Louie laughed, "So, I asked Larry to help him break some of his bad habits."

"Haven't you thought about having Kevin play like a small forward like Danny Manning?"

"There is only one Danny Manning," Louie said, "and Jasmine is nearly 10 centimeters taller than Manning. This is a different concept. Basketball is a very realistic sport. It is 10 centimeters taller and 10 centimeters shorter. It's something completely different. Jasmine can't be Manning, but Manning can't be Jasmine."

After talking about Garnett, West got down to business.

"What can you tell me about 'Beautiful Basketball'?"

Louie laughed: "You can go to my office to find Jim and ask him to give you the tactical blueprint of 'Beautiful Basketball'."

"Exactly, I also need some advice from you. Our recent actual combat test has not worked well, and the number of players' turnovers remains high."

Hearing this, West left directly.

He came to the president's office.

This time, Jim's posture was much more upright.

"Jerry, didn't you find the president?"

"I found ~www.readwn.com~ but the thing I want is in the office, the blueprint for what kind of tactics, do you know where it is?"

"I know, Coach Lu said that you have to ask sooner or later, and I have been keeping it."

West took over the tactical blueprint of "Beautiful Basketball" from the dandy, "Then you continue to look at the office."

"This is my duty!"

Does he think looking at an office with hardly any valuable documents and valuables is an important job?

West brought back the playbook for "Beautiful Basketball" and emptied his office before watching.

He needs absolute silence in the office.

When West turned the first page, he was attracted by the "Zihuatanejo" described by Louis, and after that, he was like a 57-year-old innocent man who fell in love with it, and he was addicted and unable to extricate himself.
