Let s wake up! When Thick Brows comes back, it s impossible for rookie coach Redick to lead them to win the championship!

Combining the existing lineup structure and the comprehensive strength of the coaching team, it is extremely difficult for the "Jan Dongmei combination" (James, Doncic, Davis) to reach the championship under the leadership of the rookie coach. The following is an analysis from three aspects: lineup hidden dangers, coach shortcomings and team running-in.

1. The return of Thick Brow is not a "savior". The health and tactical adaptability are doubtful. Although Thick Brow's return can relieve the Lakers' inside offense and defense pressure, its injury history and ups and downs in the state are always hidden dangers. In the past two seasons, Thick Eyebrow has repeatedly missed due to calf and Achilles tendon injuries. Even after returning, the Lakers need to strictly limit their playing time to avoid secondary injuries. In addition, if the Davis returns to the "small ball tactical core" positioning in 2020 after his comeback, the ball rights need to be reassigned. James and Doncic are both ball-holding players, and the compatibility of the three has not been verified. More importantly, the problem of insufficient depth in the inside line still exists (the lineup is more hollow after trading Davis). If you only rely on Davis' single-point defense, it will be difficult to deal with Western teams such as the Nuggets and Timberwolves with strong inside lines.

2. The on-the-spot shortcomings of the rookie coach magnifies the uncertainty of the playoffs

The new Lakers head coach Redick, as the "rookie" who takes charge of the coaching point for the first time, has been questioned. Although the Lakers have formed an assistant team with 8 championship experience (such as Brooks, Rondo, etc.) to assist, the head coach's decision is still key. For example, after Doncic joins, he needs to balance the ball with James, and whether Redick can design a tactical system to allow the two people to "1+1>2" is still controversial. In addition, the Lakers' management relies too much on the "superstar effect" and ignores tactical details. For example, this season's defensive efficiency is only ranked in the middle of the league. If the Nuggets, Suns and other teams with more mature team collaboration in the playoffs, they may repeat the same mistakes.

3. Compatibility of the "Zhan Dongmei" combination: strong on paper cannot conceal structural contradictions

Doncic's joining has enhanced the Lakers' offensive firepower from the outside, but it also brought about difficulties in the distribution of ball rights. Both James and Doncic need to hold the ball, while Davis prefers to end without the ball. The overlap of functions of the three may limit overall efficiency. In addition, Doncic's shortcomings in the defensive end (slow foot movements) and the fragile health of the thick eyebrows may cause the Lakers' defense to collapse in the high-intensity playoff confrontation. Judging from historical experience, the probability of winning the championship with the "Big Three" combination for the first time is extremely low, and the coaching team needs to optimize the configuration through long-term running-in, and the Lakers obviously lack this patience and trial and error space.

Conclusion

The Lakers' hope for championship is not only determined by the individual ability of "Zhan Dongmei", but also requires the coaching team to build a system of offense and defense, as well as the management's continuous strengthening of the lineup depth. However, the lack of experience of rookie coaches, the compatibility risks of the Big Three, and the strong rise of Western opponents (such as the Nuggets and the Timberwolves) have all become difficult obstacles to overcome. If the breakthrough cannot be achieved in trading windows or tactical innovation, the Lakers' "champion dream" this season may be lost again.
