Chapter 501 Future Directions

Chapter 501 Future Directions

Vogel thought about the stakes and began to discuss with Ge Feng.

Vogel's coaching ability is a bit poor, but he is a good coach who knows how to adapt.

It was precisely because of this that Ge Feng spoke for Schroeder.

If it was the beginning of the season, Vogel would definitely not adopt Ge Feng's suggestion.

But now that two months have passed, Vogel is also thinking about whether his positioning of Schroeder is appropriate.

It is indeed difficult for Schroeder to be a calm organizer.

Schroeder's combative and bossy attributes make it difficult for him to calm down at critical moments and run the team in an orderly manner.

If Vogel continues to force Schroeder to do things he doesn't like to do, the end result is likely to be a lose-lose.

"If Schroder doesn't organize the team, who else can we ask to organize the team?" Vogel found a stool and sat down, then asked.

Seeing that Vogel began to waver, Ge Feng took out a tactical book from his bag at this time.

Vogel's eyes lit up unconsciously when he saw that this small book was filled with Ge Feng's drawings.

Ge Feng actually studied tactics in private.

It seems that Ge Feng was not just looking for him to talk to him this time.

"Coach, you are right. If Schroeder doesn't organize, our backcourt organization problem is really serious. Coach Long is old, Caruso's style is soft, and Schroeder is unwilling to play organization. Moreover, Schroeder is the starter. He is easy to get ahead, and it is difficult to be trusted at critical moments."

After hearing this, Vogel kept nodding, signaling Ge Feng to continue talking.

It seems that Ge Feng's understanding of the Lakers players is no worse than that of the head coach.

Ge Feng continued: "This is what I think. Since our team's point guard, no matter how we adjust it, is that the offense is stronger than the organization, then we might as well break the rules and let the point guard be responsible for the offense and organization. Let Bo Yang and me."

Vogel was really surprised when he heard Ge Feng's words.

This is equivalent to directly changing the Lakers back to the same point guard breakout mode as the 01ers in 76.

This mode, in terms of excitement, is definitely the most gorgeous in the NBA.

But this model has a disadvantage, that is, it has never won a championship.

But Vogel is still seriously considering Ge Feng's words.

Although Iverson, Rose, and Westbrook are all on the verge of failure, their teams are all teams built with point guards at their core.

The Lakers are different. No matter how Schroeder attacks, the Lakers are a team with Ge Feng and Davis as the core of the front and back courts. This will never change.

Even if Schroeder is allowed to attack with all his strength, he will not get the ball as much as Iverson and others in each game.

But if Schroeder can play this point, it can help Ge Feng and Davis reduce the burden on the inside.

Vogel hesitated.

The root of his hesitation lies in Ge Feng.

If Schroeder doesn't organize, then the team definitely needs someone else to organize.

Bo Yang is very good at sorting out the outfield ball, which is an ability that everyone knows.However, due to the limitation of the style of play, Bo Yang can only handle fixed-point kicks.

In this way, Schroeder would not care about the organizational tasks during the wartime movement, and all of them would be placed on Ge Feng.

As the core of the backcourt, Ge Feng has a very big offensive task in every game.

If you add the organization team, Vogel is worried that Ge Feng will be too much, which is why Vogel hesitates.

However, the suggestion Ge Feng gave just now is indeed very attractive.

If Ge Feng is allowed to organize the team, Vogel believes that with Ge Feng's golf quotient, he will definitely be able to do better than Schroeder.

This is a risky attempt. Vogel thought for a long time, and finally nodded and accepted.

However, Vogel finally told Ge Feng that it will not be a matter of time for the team to complete the transformation.

At least he still needs to discuss with the assistant coaches before he can know the result.

Ge Feng expressed his understanding. He brought Vogel's words to Schroeder, and Schroeder thanked Ge Feng repeatedly after hearing it.

At the same time, Schroeder is looking forward to the opinions of the coaching staff, hoping that Vogel can liberate his talent.

Two weeks passed.

The team management's debate about future development is always based on months, and even the Lakers are no exception.

But in the process of the coaching staff's dispute, the Lakers tragically ushered in a wave of five-game losing streak, and their record fell directly from seventh in the Western Conference to No. 11 in the Western Conference.

The Lakers' five-game losing streak has a lot to do with Davis' absence due to injury.

Schroeder can't connect McGee and Howard, and Ge Feng can only carry the offensive organization on his shoulders.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and it is reasonable for the Lakers to lose five games in a row.

It's a pity that the NBA is a realistic field that only depends on winning or losing.

The Lakers' five-game losing streak is almost equivalent to losing a playoff spot.

During the five-game losing streak, Schroeder was still conscientiously fulfilling the duties of the point guard for the Lakers.

He promised Ge Feng that no matter whether this matter can be achieved or not, he will earnestly complete the tasks assigned to him by the head coach:

Play well and never be negative about the game.

Although Schroder played very hard, Ge Feng could see that Schroder was serious about organizing the team, but Schroder's talent was there, and he really couldn't be a calm-headed battlefield commander.

Stepping onto the battlefield and fighting the enemy is the ultimate destination for a player like Schroeder.

After the five-game losing streak, the Lakers immediately ushered in an away game against the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons in the 2020~2021 season are a team formed with Rose and Griffin as the core.

Rose is one of Schroder's favorite players and the player Schroder dreams of becoming.

Therefore, the game between the Lakers and the Pistons was extremely fierce from the beginning.

This so-called fierceness is more often caused by Schroeder unilaterally provoking Rose.

Rose has rejuvenated his career in the past two years, and he made Schroeder see hope.

Even without a championship for life, he can still leave a legend in the NBA.

Schroder played very passionately, which was the complete opposite of Davis who had just recovered from injury.

Davis was in a sluggish state in this game.

Davis' downturn is due to Schroeder's inability to organize and it is difficult to seize the opportunity to feed the ball to Davis accurately.

The second is because Davis just came out of the shadow of shoulder and back injuries not long ago.

In the first game of Davis' comeback, he encountered the most aggressive Detroit Pistons in the league.

Perhaps due to the influence of the "Bad Boys", the Pistons are still one of the toughest representative teams in the NBA so far.

Many players with glass attributes dare not head-to-head with the Pistons. Davis is one of the representative players with glass attributes.

The data proves that when active players face the Pistons, the injury rate is still the highest in the league.

This has something to do with the fierce style of play that the Pistons have maintained all year round.

Although the current generals of the Pistons will no longer make insidious tricks like Lambiel and Mahon during the Bad Boys, but under fierce confrontation, injuries will inevitably occur.

Davis can't play, and the Lakers' inside line is all supported by McGee.
