After all, the pressure of public opinion in Los Angeles is far greater than in other places.
If he can’t get the team out of trouble as soon as possible, there will be a lot of pressure from the management.
The more big cities people live in, the less patient they are.
“Defense.”
Sun Hao quickly replied.
“Why isn’t it Shaq’s injury?”
Jackson asked rhetorically. The team’s record fluctuated greatly when O’Neal was injured, and most people’s instinctive reaction would be that way.
“Because when Shaq was not injured, it was not easy for us to win the game.”
Sun Hao’s thinking angle is a bit special.
But after hearing this, Jackson smiled and nodded.
The triangle offense is a superstar isolation tactic, which means that the role players play in the offensive unit is limited.
Correspondingly, in order to reduce the consumption of superstars on defense, they need to make greater contributions on the defensive end.
Some may wonder why the Lakers don’t have to defend better players at the beginning of the season.
Because, the Lakers don’t have it.
At the beginning of the season, veterans like Malone were still in shape. The only player the Lakers could defend on the perimeter was Ariza, but he was a rookie.
So in that case, Jackson started with Horry and Howard to ensure the team’s offense, and there was no problem with the selection.
But now, the team’s record has been ups and downs, and defensive problems have become more and more prominent. He has reached a point where he must change.
“Do you think it would be a benefit or disadvantage to the team if we start with Karl and Trevor?”
Jackson continued.
“I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”
“How do you say?”
“Although Karl’s body has not yet been adjusted to its optimal state, his ability to protect the frame is excellent. Although Trevor lacks experience, rookies are often the most active defensively. time.”
Sun Hao’s words made Jackson couldn’t stop nodding his head after hearing what he said. In fact, he thought so too.
“I even think Chris can be used as the starting center. He moves faster than Vlad.”
However, Sun Hao’s next words were somewhat unexpected.
In O’Neal’s absence, Divac has always been the starter, and Sun Hao actually suggested replacing him.
“But what about our score?”
Jackson then asked.
“Me.”
Sun Hao’s answer this time was simple and straightforward.
Although he is not as paranoid as Kobe, he has never lacked confidence.
Jackson looked at Sun Hao for a long time.
Perhaps his inner thought at this moment was, could Sun Hao be the next Kobe?
But soon, his idea was rejected by himself.
What Sun Hao did after arriving at the Lakers was completely different from Kobe.
If you have to compare, among the players he has coached, Sun Hao is more like Jordan.
He seemed to understand why Jordan put Sun Hao at the top of the five shooting guards, because who doesn’t like people with a similar style to himself?
In history, McGrady likes Durant, Nowitzki likes Porzingis, and Kobe
