However, after being received by the Lakers When the team officials responded that they would not prepare for the playoffs, all the media were stunned.

The Lakers don't train?Playoffs!Do the Lakers think that the league has no opponents now?Or are the Lakers just refusing to be disturbed by the media, doing secret training and practicing big moves?
However, many professionals also said that the move of the Lakers is undoubtedly the smartest. With the strength of the Lakers, too much preparation may not be effective. Putting his heart and soul into the playoffs can actually rekindle the little passion that was worn out by the long season.

Three days before the start of the playoffs, Ning Caichen finally assembled his team.They didn't do any special workouts, though, or sit down and watch a Pelicans game to study the Pelicans' stars.It's not that the Lakers are proud and slow, it's that his style is completely different from all teams in the league. They advocate impromptu changes on the court, and the core players of the opposing team need to be on high alert, so they will naturally Ning Caichen was there to defend, so they were just doing regular training, and the daily training volume was not bad, only four hours.

……

Much anticipated, the playoffs are finally about to start.

The first-round opponent of the Lakers is the Pelicans. For the Pelicans, the Lakers are also familiar with them. They played against each other three times in the regular season. The Lakers regretted losing to the Pelicans.

Although the record of the Pelicans is only at the bottom, its comprehensive strength can at least rank sixth in the West. Therefore, for the Lakers, the challenge in the first round will not be easy.

If the Lakers advance to the first round, their opponents in the second round will be born in the Rockets and Thunder. If they win the second round, there is no suspense about their opponents in the Western Conference Finals, either the Spurs or the Warriors.

For the second round, Ning Caichen is more willing to face the Rockets. Although the chemical reaction produced by the Thunder's Big Three is far from meeting expectations, the lethality produced by the giants is real.

As soon as he entered the arena, he was still in the familiar atmosphere of the playoffs. Although the audience hadn't entered the arena yet, the theme colors that could be seen everywhere, this unique decoration of the playoffs, made him inexplicably excited.

Championship, coming soon! !

The playoffs have begun, and the Lakers’ home game tickets have also set a record. The online ticket sales have started, and they have been instantly killed. Even if the Lakers’ first-round tickets for the playoffs are the most expensive in the league, they can’t stop it. Live the enthusiasm of the fans.

Amidst the tsunami of fans, the playoffs finally started.

The Lakers suffered a loss on the Pelicans' twin towers in the regular season, so today, they are going to use a "small to big" tactical strategy.

In the interior, Yi Jianlian and Lopez can only play a certain role in restraining Davis and Cousins. Whether it is offense or defense, the interior of the Pelicans is a superstar level, while the Lakers are only a star level. of.

It's not that Yi Jianlian and Lopez are not good enough, but their innate physical advantages determine their disadvantages in the paint.

After Yi Jianlian came to the Lakers, his performance was eye-catching. Without Yi Jianlian on the inside, he was missing a sharp knife. In several games, it was Yi Jianlian who hit the key mid-range shot at a critical moment to make the team realize reversed.

With an average of 12 points and 7 rebounds per game, he has already surpassed Lopez's average of 8.5 points and 5 rebounds per game.It can be said that the current Yi Jianlian is already one of the core of the Lakers, and besides Ning Caichen and Paul, he has played the most stable point.

The Lakers changed their regular style of play, directly sacrificing their inside scoring points, and instead put all their offensive firepower on the outside.Only the Lakers dare to do this kind of extreme style of play.

At the beginning, Ning Caichen and Lopez were not prepared to attack, they just assisted the outside players to keep the twin towers inside.

The coach of the Pelicans was very depressed. The tactics they studied and trained for several days were useless.Ning Caichen no longer rushed to the basket, even in one-on-one singles, he did not intend to force a breakthrough, but followed his teammates to float outside.

The precise shots made the Pelicans have to call a timeout.

Tonight's Lakers have an astonishingly high mid-range shooting percentage, but after one quarter, they have already led the Pelicans by 13 points. All of these statistics are from shooting, and none of them are from the inside.

This is embarrassing. The Pelicans have the strongest twin-tower lineup in the league, but they have no room to play defensively. Although their offensive efficiency inside is also very high, they are no match for the Lakers' running and bombing tactics. After two quarters, the two big insiders were a bit overwhelmed.

The Lakers' play is very simple, with a completely small lineup, completely sacrificing the inside, and all shooting from the outside.After seeing this, many people had the feeling that it turns out that this is how to fight against the Twin Towers, it is as simple as that, and the success rate can be maintained to a very high level without attacking the inside line.

In fact, the extreme tactics of the Lakers look very simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement.First of all, you must have at least two shooters; second, you must have corresponding tactics that can quickly move the ball; third, your players must be able to have a considerable tacit understanding, considerable tactical literacy, and completely follow the tactics The execution of the basketball is given to the players who deserve it most.

Many teams can satisfy the above three points, but the Lakers are the only ones in the entire league who can stick to a set of tactics from beginning to end without being defeated one by one by their opponents.

The Lakers dragged the Pelicans to the end with a sick tactic, and successfully won the first game of the series with a 20-point difference.

This seemingly simple tactical response looks extremely simple, but the Lakers demonstrated to everyone the same outside tactics as textbooks.

After the game, the Lakers players looked resentful, expressing that they no longer want to use the tactics they played tonight, not because it was easy, but because it was too difficult.

It seems like a simple set of tactics, but there are three kinds of changes superimposed in it, and the audience must keep their energy concentrated, and a trance will cause the tactics to collapse.

The audience kept their spirits tense, which was too much of a mental drain, and Ning Caichen felt it too. He originally wanted to use the first round to exercise everyone, but he didn't expect such a big side effect.

The first game of the Pelicans was shot to death by the Lakers. In the next second game, after the Pelicans got used to the outside tactics, Ning Caichen changed his style of play and returned to the regular game. The method made the head coach of the Pelicans quite depressed.

Facing the twin towers of the Pelicans, the Lakers really suffered a loss, but fortunately, the Lakers' outside line made up for the lack of inside line. The Lakers continued to maintain their outside touch, full of vitality, and finally won the second place with a slight advantage. series.

After coming to the home court of the Pelicans, the Pelicans relied on their home court advantage to explode inside and outside one after another, catching the Lakers by surprise. At the last critical moment, Ning Caichen took a brave shot and dribbled the ball directly to Davis. .

Davis knew that Ning Caichen was strong, but he didn't take Ning Caichen seriously.However, the moment he was hit by Ning Caichen, he regretted it. He was hit directly to the ground by Ning Caichen, but it was too late to regret. It became 2+1.

The Pelicans lost another game at home. At the last moment, they were fouled by Ning Caichen's impact on the basket. They succeeded in playing 2+1 and completed Ning Caichen's first quasi-lore in his career.

With a 3:0 lead in the series, there is no suspense for the Lakers to advance to the second round. Ning Caichen suggested that one or two games should be used for training?
Ning Caichen's proposal was opposed by all the players. Are you trying to kill yourself? If you can solve the game quickly, you have to go to death. Besides, we are already so strong. If you want to train, you can also find the Warriors. Let's practice at the level!

Ning Caichen had no choice but to give up his naive idea. In the last game, the Lakers all broke out and did not hold back. In the end, they defeated the Pelicans by a huge score difference of 30 points and became the first team to advance to the playoffs. second round team.

While winning the Pelicans, the Lakers also completed the first sweep of their new dynasty in the playoffs.

Ning Caichen has a lot of ambitions. After the series ended, he signed voting certificates with his teammates.If the series fails to sweep all opponents, half of their playoff bonuses will be donated to the Holy Land Charity Fund.

Sweep the entire series?The Warriors too?
For Ning Caichen's crazy idea of ​​​​recording the harvest maniac, the Lakers players said they couldn't accept it. What are you kidding, sweeping the Warriors?The Cavaliers are sure to sweep the Warriors. Do you think it is the regular season?
Although everyone generally said that it was impossible, they still signed the voting certificate. In fact, they are also eager to challenge the impossible. If they can really sweep the entire series, then they will create an unprecedented record. You know, The Warriors were considered the strongest team in history before.
