Chapter 312 Alliance Rescue Plan
Since the new season, Fisher has averaged 25.6 minutes per game, 5.9 points and 3.3 assists.

With that kind of data, naturally he can't afford the title of starting ball-handling, let alone the defensive encounter with Ross and other speed-type point guards.

But Fisher can always stabilize the situation at critical moments. In several games, when the Lakers were in a state of anxiety, when Kobe was double-teamed by the opponent, he stood up and used a cold-blooded jumper or a fierce foul to help the Lakers open. A whole new situation.

In general, Fisher's mental attribute bonus is far greater than his physical output, and his effect on stabilizing the locker room is also very strong.

But the current Lakers have a particularly good team atmosphere, which makes Fisher's mental attribute bonus seem less important.

In addition, the Lakers' salary space is particularly tight, which makes Fisher's $340 million salary particularly eye-catching.

The salary of 340 million US dollars is really not much, especially for a veteran with many years of meritorious service, but looking at the other players of the Lakers, most of them are basic salaries. Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum occupy most of the salary space. It is extremely difficult to operate.

A variety of conditions came together, and the management headed by Kupchak naturally wanted to use Fisher to solve the problem.

After Fisher, Luke Wharton will obviously be sent away, and maybe he will use the amnesty clause to amnesty Artest.

Those people are the Lakers' champions.

But business is business.

The Lakers management has to serve the interests of the Bass family. Compared with the Celtics management headed by Ainge, the level of cold-bloodedness is a little bit less. Those players who were expected to win the championship and have no luxury tax pressure were meat and potatoes. Now they have become stinky tofu .

The team trades too much, even if it is just a role player, it will lower the team's momentum, mainly because it will keep reminding other players that they are not Kobe and Bynum, they are just another passer-by of the Lakers, no matter how hard they fight Sent away by trade.

"I just hope it doesn't drag down the team's state too much..."

Su Yang understands that there is no way to prevent the management from trading, and he is even more troubled that there is no suitable backup center candidate in the market. With Fisher's current performance and the resources such as the draft picks in the hands of the Lakers, unless he is a super stud, he can only switch to the same level. players.

If according to the original historical development, the Lakers finally reached a deal with the Rockets, using Fisher + the first round to exchange for Jordan Hill, it would not be of great help to the Lakers, because Jordan Hill has a low basketball IQ, lack of shooting, and can only grab rebounds good.

In the tactical system Su Yang designed for the bench lineup, the biggest requirement for the center position is pick-and-roll and mid-range shooting.

After making up his mind, he told Kupchak: "I don't care about trading Fisher. If the trade happens, I hope that the traded center can complete the pick-and-roll excellently, has a qualified mid-range shot, and if he can shoot three Points are better…”

As for the specific candidate, there is really no one.

Kupchak expressed his understanding and promised to do his best to implement Su Yang's request, and will discuss with Te at that time.

With such respect, Su Yang wasn't too happy. Instead, he faintly felt that Bynum's weight in the Lakers was getting heavier and heavier.

On February [-], the Lakers challenged the Nuggets away.

Compared with the last time they lost against the Nuggets due to lack of physical strength, the Lakers rested for up to three days this time. Kobe and other main players have no playing time limit, and the Nuggets flew back from the away game in Los Angeles. Although they are at home, they are also back-to-back fight.

At the start of the game, Su Yang instructed to attack the inside line. Bynum got the ball through Pau Gasol four times in a row and scored 8 points.

Kobe was responsible for defending Afflalo with all his strength, hardly giving shots, and creating great difficulties for breakthroughs.

But in the face of Lawson and Nene's pick-and-roll, Fisher and Bynum's defense is a little bad. The main reason is that Fisher's speed is too slow, it is difficult to squeeze through the screen in time to catch up, and he dare not go around the screen and let Lawson rush to shoot three. Points, Bynum did not dare to grab the interception.

For several consecutive rounds, the Nuggets scored through Lawson and Nene's pick-and-roll, and they never fell far behind the Lakers.

Su Yang was not in a hurry, and did not replace Shuhao until 3 minutes left in the first quarter, and Shuhao cooperated with Bynum to quickly limit Lawson and Nene's pick-and-roll efficiently, thereby reducing the Nuggets' scoring efficiency and helping the Lakers Leading the Nuggets by 10 points.

There is no magic trick, but the speed of squeezing through the screen is faster than that of Fisher, which prevents Lawson from wanton activation.

With 1 minute left in the first quarter, the two teams entered the stage of the substitute matchup. Su Yang replaced Kobe with Goodlock, Artest with Barnes, Gasol with McRoberts, Bynum with Tracy McGrady, and instructed The whole team plays as fast as possible.

Against a team that is playing back to back, pushing the fast break is an excellent choice. If Gasol and Bynum hadn't been of the right height and weight, Su Yang would have asked the whole team to play fast at the beginning of the game, bullying the Nuggets. Points lost ranks second in the league.

For the Nuggets, the corresponding players are the old Miller whose scoring ability has declined sharply, Harrington who is about to retire, Rudy Fernandez who has suffered serious injuries, the company commander Brewer who has not yet been recognized by George Karl, and the not strong enough Kufoss.

The two teams clashed for several rounds, and the scene was like a big melee.

But McGrady can organize and make long passes, Jeremy can also make long passes and breakthroughs, Mike Roberts can also support and make air cuts, Barnes can make air cuts and defend, Goodlock can catch three-pointers and stop three-pointers, The Lakers' bench lineup has a clear division of labor and is well organized.

As for the Nuggets, they really messed up.

The old Miller was organized carefully, and Fernandez was also willing to cooperate, but the other three Nuggets players were taken out of rhythm.

As Goodlock hit the third three-pointer, the Lakers led to a terrifying 20 points, and the Nuggets were forced to request a timeout.

But after a timeout, Kobe, who had a long rest and was full of motivation, made 4 of 4 shots and expanded his lead again.

The Nuggets tried to resist in the third quarter, but Bynum and Gasol joined forces to dominate the inside and completely sealed the victory.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 113 to 89, extending their winning streak to nine games and continuing to rank first in the league.

The whole team flew to Salt Lake City overnight and did not check into the hotel until midnight. The plateau terrain exhausted the players.

At noon, the NBA officially announced the All-Star starters, Kobe was elected as the Western Conference champion, and Howard was elected as the Eastern Conference champion.

Compared with last season, the number of fan votes has dropped significantly, and the impact of the lockout has been reflected again. Many league officials, as well as some team owners, have stood up one after another, hoping to make this All-Star game more distinctive and more exciting. is attractive.

When Su Yang saw the news, he thought it was another good opportunity to increase his reputation, and immediately discussed with Taylor and others how to implement it.

In the night game, the Lakers team was exhausted back-to-back, and Kobe and other main players implemented the load management regulations. They were mainly played by the substitute lineup, and finally lost to the Jazz 87-106. one.

The whole team flew to Philadelphia. At noon the next day, Su Yang received a call from the league office, congratulating him on being re-elected as the Western All-Star head coach.Su Yang took advantage of the situation and proposed that he could help the league increase the ratings of the All-Star Game, and asked to speak directly with Stern.

Given his significant contribution in helping end the lockout, that request was met immediately, but wait.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang casually checked Twitter news and found that the Warriors officially announced that their defender Curry was absent due to an ankle injury, and this ankle injury lasted for about a week, and it was also the second time after Curry underwent ankle repair surgery Injuried.
