James lost and took responsibility! It was not the coach s fault, and he never questioned everything Redick and the coaching staff did

On May 9, because many people had questioned the coaching ability of the team coach Redick before, James also supported Redick in an interview, "We have never questioned what Redick and the coaching staff did" and spoke to the team coach. James's words not only show the real situation in the Lakers' locker room, but also show us the importance of "trust" and "responsibility" in professional sports.

James made his attitude clear in the controversy

The main controversy point this season was that Reddick let the five starting players play the second half in the fourth game of the playoffs, and this decision was criticized by many fans. Some people think that this arrangement caused the players to lose their energy. In the last quarter of Game 5, the Lakers were scored 32-19 by their opponents.

But James also explained Redick's decision. The coach's decision is often quite complicated, including many reasons, such as understanding of the game and momentum of the game, which are important factors in tactical decisions.

James also specifically mentioned Vincent and Vanderbilt. Although these two players don’t play much time, they can get good data per game. This shows that in the Lakers' locker room, every player must consider the team and obey the needs of the game.

Characteristics of Redick's coaching

As a new coach, Redick's coaching style is both good and bad. During the regular season, he practiced the Lakers' defense very well and ranked first in the league, but in the playoffs, some of his decisions were a bit incomprehensible. The arrangement of the fourth game is an example. On the one hand, he found that his opponent scored few substitutes and wanted to take advantage of the starting lineup; on the other hand, he believed too much in the starting players and did not consider the players' physical fitness issues.

However, Redick's decision is not completely unreasonable. Data shows that the Lakers' starting lineup has much better scoring ability than substitutes. So at the critical moment of the game, he chose to let the strongest lineup play, which is a mistake the new coach may make when he is not experienced.

Who should be responsible for the loss?

James put the responsibility for losing this time on himself, which reflects the rules of professional sports. In the team, the coach is responsible for arranging tactics and the players are responsible for executing. Redick has always been strict with players and sometimes criticizes them during the game.

In fact, there is a reason why Zhan said this. He knew that if the coach was questioned, there would definitely be problems in the team's locker room. As a player with a relatively speaking voice at the moment, we must first consider the issue of team unity. As long as he supported the coach before, the Lakers had a higher probability of winning. This time, I support Redick is also to maintain the unity of the team.

4. The future direction of the Lakers

Of course, the Lakers' management supports Redick, which is not without reason. During the regular season, Redick led the team well and cooperated well with the players. But he also needs improvements, such as more flexible substitutions in the game. A good coach must be able to make correct adjustments according to the game situation. This is the most basic thing. As for the results, it must be combined with multiple reasons.

Conclusion: Only unity can win

James's words actually pointed out the direction for the Lakers' future. In the current sports world, the power of stars is getting greater and greater, but James tells everyone with his actions that the team is more important than the individual. Whether Redick can grow is related to the future of the Lakers. This discussion of trust and responsibility makes us understand that victory is the result of the efforts of the entire team.
