The Lakers head coach admits that he made a mistake and regrets it! G2 with the Timberwolves, well prepared

Yesterday, the first game of the first round of the playoffs was over, and the Lakers and Rockets were the only two teams to lose at home. The Rockets look to be overwhelmed by the Warriors across the board, and it will be very difficult for them to stand out in this series. On the Lakers' side, as long as they improve their defense and become active, there is still a lot of hope.

James' overall record in the first two games of the playoff series was 31-24 in G1, a 56.3% win rate. G2 has a total of 37 wins and 17 losses, a winning rate of 68.5%. Some people may say that this is the previous data, and there is no reference value. But think about it, even if James is 40 years old, do you still trust him unconditionally?

After Game 1 of the series, the Lakers ranked second from bottom among the 16 teams in the playoffs in defensive efficiency and 11th in offensive efficiency. There is still a lot to be improved.

Lakers reporter Trevor Lane also tweeted: "The most disappointing thing is that watching the other games is full of tension and excitement from the playoffs, which is in stark contrast to the Lakers Timberwolves G1, which is a top priority and must be solved." ”

The Lakers are playing G1 like playing a preseason game, and there is no tension to be seen, and if they are physically and mentally ready to play the playoffs, the course of the game should not be like this. I believe that tomorrow's G2 will see them differently.

Redick said today that he reviewed G1 and that the team needs to do better in many areas, first of all, to play harder and be more organized. Redick doesn't think the Lakers' defensive strategy mistakes caused opponents to shoot open three-pointers because they couldn't stop Edwards.

On how to play in G2 tomorrow, Redick said: "I think a lot of times you hear the word 'organization', and it's usually the point guard who directs and initiates the game. No, it's just a regular operation that we're trying to do. When we did, we behaved very well. Being organized means making pick-and-rolls, it means getting the right amount of space, it means closing holes after a shot is hit or missed. That's what organized. “

'There's a bit of a set tactic where you play after a dead shot, a penalty shot, but in our early offense, it's the same with any other team. It's amazing how many rounds we've had with three or four players coming together with 15 seconds left on the offensive clock, like rushing together in the half, so that's what it means to be organised. ”

To put it bluntly, the Lakers players should actively participate in the offense, don't always stand on the pile, don't always go single. In today's practice, Redick said it was one of the team's best drills in months, and Doncic stayed after the practice to practice his shots.

Reeves continued to reflect on himself today, saying: "I was terrible in the first game, I didn't be my true self.

Redick admitted that he made a mistake and kind of regretted not training more, saying: "Our coaching staff has been thinking a lot about whether we should add more confrontation training during the week of rest after the regular season. ”

Redick thinks the lack of head-up training seems like a missed opportunity, especially for a team like the Lakers that is struggling to do so.

Just after the game against the Rockets on April 12, the Lakers' main players ushered in nearly eight days of rest, and they may have practiced three times in between. In addition, after the last game, Redick said that he was not sure if the players were physically ready for the playoffs, which also confirmed this, which is why Redick regretted it so much.

Today's training atmosphere of the Lakers can still feel the serious attitude in it, and the frolicking scene is a little less than before. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in G2, expect a strong response from them.
