Because the Lakers lack offensive ability in the interior, most of the team's offense is initiated by the outside. Ke Yan pays great attention to the speed and range of players on the wing positions, hoping to use "faster" and "more accurate" players to fight against the opponent's "higher".

However, this supersonic team is more accurate than the Lakers. The two teams are like two branches of the Warriors who entered the finals from 2014 to 2019. They each inherited some of the technical characteristics of the Warriors, but no team has dared to take the lead in using the "Warriors" killer move, and the five deaths!

The Supersonics have no inside killer, and it is not a big threat to directly kill the Lakers in the inside. Therefore, Ke Yan decided to take a gamble and replace Chris Anderson with Matt Barnes, and directly push Barnes to the power forward. In this way, Odom, who also has the ability to take the ball offensive skills from the outside, needs to be at the center position at the defensive end, and all five players on the Lakers have the ability to shoot from the outside!

The Lakers made a substitution adjustment, and commentator Wilson was very surprised: "I came out, Matt Barnes appeared, replaced Anderson, and Odom took the center position. This is a bold arrangement!"

Commentary guest Morris was also a little unbelievable: "At such a critical moment, the Lakers boldly launched the change of formations. Barnes had only scored 2 points before. What were he going to come up at this time?"

The ball outside the boundary was sent, Odom passed it to Kobe, and then stepped forward to play pick-and-roll with Kobe. Kobe broke through to the right, Jerome James and Ray Allen saved Kobe together, Kobe sent the ball back to Odom at the top of the arc, the latter pointed out Ray Allen with a fake move and broke into the penalty area. Radmanovic had no choice but to retreat to the penalty area to fill the spot, leaving Barnes in the bottom corner clean. The latter even had time to get the ball in a way, and took three-pointers like a training rhythm.

Hit!

The gap widened to 4 points, Ke Yan and Hamberlon celebrated. The game was 44 seconds left, and the Lakers led by 4 points. The importance of Barnes' goal should not be to fight against Xiangbei Lingnan. Mu Mugong took the three-pointer in two episodes!

The point is that Ke Yan had just made a change of array adjustment, and then he achieved immediate results. Barnes hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and the photographer at the scene also gave Ke Yan a close-up immediately.

Ke Yan shouted to the players on the sidelines, reminding them to strictly prevent the Supersonics' three-pointer. This is also a strategy that has been arranged in advance to lure the Supersonics into the inside and have to make two quick points.

Sure enough, the Supersonics, which were strictly guarded from the outside, chose to make two quick points when they could not find a shooting opportunity. However, Jerome James's foul was strangled by Odom's foul.

Ke Yan stood up and waved at the fans behind the Lakers' basket, signaling them to create a louder sound to interfere with Jerome James' free throw. Then, he responded with a call!

Seeing this, McMillan secretly shouted "I fell into the trap!" The Lakers fouled Jerome James, who was the most unstable in the Supersonic free throw. In conjunction with the pressure from home fans, the Supersonics' offensive threat this round was minimized!

McMillan complained to the referee and asked Ke Yan to make a technical foul. The referee came over to warn Ke Yan, but had no basis to make a technical foul.

"Bang!" Jerome James missed the free throw, Ke Yanxin had a 70% chance of winning, and directly celebrating with Anderson beside him.

"Swish!" The second free throw was hit, and the chance of winning came to 80%.

There are 33 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers are leading by 3 points and still have the ball. It is difficult for the Lakers to lose as long as they do not make mistakes. The Supersonics' pressing is easily resolved with Kobe and Odom's cooperation. Facing Hou Fang's empty Supersonics, Kobe did not waste time with the slumber, and directly broke into the basket and sent the ball into the basket. While causing Radmanovic's defensive foul!

Kobe made a free throw, and the score difference reached 6 points. McMillan did not call the timeout again. In 26 seconds, the 6-point gap is an insurmountable barrier for the Supersonics.

As the ending whistle sounded, all the fans began to celebrate, and the Lakers, the players and coaching staff were hugging each other, and they were in high spirits!

Tom Janovic was absent due to illness, and there were many voices around the Lakers, which created considerable pressure on everyone. The victory of this game stabilized the morale of the Lakers!

Kobe's data in this game were average, with 11 of 24 shots in the whole game, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 27 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The Lakers won the game with the team, Butler, Odom, and Atkins scored in double digits respectively. Although Anderson only scored 5 points, he took 12 rebounds!

No one would ignore Ke Yan's credit. After returning to the locker room, Kupchek directly arranged someone to notify Ke Yan to attend the post-match press conference. This was the first time since the beginning of the season. Before, Tomjanovic took Ke Yan over.

Compared with the team's victory, Tom Janovic's health and the future of the Lakers are the most concerned by media reporters. In particular, whether Ke Yan will directly take over as the team's head coach has touched the hearts of countless Chinese fans.

There is no doubt that Chinese fans must hope that the NBA has more Chinese elements.

"The hospital has not given a clear time for Rudy when she will come back. First of all, we have to pray for him and hope he can recover. Until everything is settled, we will not discuss who will take over the Lakers. For me, the key is to do your job well!"

Hamberlon, who is currently in charge of the team, also expressed support for Ke Yan's remarks: "Rudy is not here, we do have some trouble. But I still have confidence that the coaching staff and the players are ready."

Ke Yan and Hamberlon both expressed their support for Tom Janovic, but it has to be said that many things are not subject to human will. The next morning, the latest news came from the hospital that Tom Janovic's body could not continue to bear the burden of the NBA head coach, and he himself had already made the decision to resign from the position of Lakers head coach.

This time, the Lakers are in chaos!

At the first moment, a reporter dug up the news that Jerry Bass met Phil Jackson two days ago, pointing out the possibility of Zen master's "restoration"!

Considering that Tom Janovic's illness only took two days to occur, it almost shows that Tom Janovic had just entered the hospital and had not yet issued a test result. Jerry Bass had already met Phil Jackson!

This also made Ke Yan uncomfortable.

He never wants his situation to be determined before his situation has been confirmed.

Former Bucks head coach George Carl was also hyped by the media as a popular candidate for the Lakers head coach. Compared with Phil Jackson, who has always had a rift with Kobe, George Carl's coaching style is more gentle, and he respects each other with the players, which may be more pleasing to the players.

On the contrary, the rumors of "internal promotion of Ke Yan" disappeared when the Lakers really needed to find a new coach to take over.

It seems like this is a ridiculous proposal!
