This is certain.

The next day, the Lakers flew to play the Warriors away. In fact, the journey was not far away. They were both in California, but D'Antoni still took him from the starter on the grounds of being back-to-back, fearing that Nash would be exhausted, and he was injured like he had last season.

In Xiao Han's opinion, this approach is still out of place. When playing against the Clippers, Paul's defense is so good, and his team also needs to use defense to defeat the opponent. You are on Nash. Curry is basically not defending today. What he is best at is an unreasonable three-pointer. The team may need to hit quickly, and you took Nash again. It makes people want to ask, D'Antoni, what do you want to do?

The Warriors are no longer the Warriors they used to be. Last season, with the lottery performance of Curry and Klay Thompson, they had already broken through the first round of the playoffs and almost eliminated the Spurs in the semi-finals. This season, with the addition of Iguodala, the originally bad defense has also improved greatly, and their strength must not be underestimated.

Xiao Han respected the game. Although he was unhappy with D'Anthony, he still chose to use the most appropriate method to play against the Warriors. As D'Anthony wished, he brought the pace very fast, making Curry and Thompson, who were not the director of the speed, were a little tired. In the second half, the shooting percentage inevitably began to decline, but the Lakers' situation did not make everything go well.

The Lakers' signings in Xia Tian started very quickly, so they went in a hurry. Apart from Nick Yang, there was basically no decent substitute. The title of Nick Yang as the King of Singles was not in vain. It was not that his singles ability was really the best in the league. Of course, it was indeed very good. But as long as the ball was in his hands, it would be difficult to get it out again.

There are always so many people in NBA who ignore the existence of others. They only have themselves in their world, but they still have a skill, so they can always find a job with a pretty good treatment. What we are talking about here is not about D'Antoni, yes, it's not him, it's indeed Nick Yang.

In the end, if it weren't for Xiao Han and Kobe's super combination of backcourts, both in terms of fame and strength, the Lakers would most likely lose. Since they were playing fast-paced basketball, Xiao Han would not have ignored D'Antoni's arrangements. The facts proved that the consequence of doing so was that not only Gasol was abolished, but Carman was even more difficult to survive.

Although they win, the problem is still very big. The team is about to enter a period of chaos now. The players don’t know who to listen to. Everyone is waiting for Kobe and Xiao Han to come out to make a decision. However, these two guys, one is still silent, not like him at all, but the other has an ambiguous attitude. Today, the other seems to have begun to follow D'Antoni again.

Nash felt that things had been clear, and Xiao Han would only do what he thought was right, and he would inevitably go to an opposing side with D'Antoni, just wait slowly.

D'Antoni was full of joy. He thought this was a good start. Xiao Han must have a more comprehensive understanding of his tactical philosophy. When Xiao Han completely believed in the creed that "the best defense is offense", his next work would be easier to carry out.

However, something that D'Antoni could not have imagined happened. In the November issue of the game against the Spurs, the situation was still very good at the beginning. When he returned to the starting lineup, he seemed to have seen his excellence and obediently followed the standard running and bombing tactics. However, when the score was widened to almost double digits, the situation on the court changed, and the players began to devote a lot of effort to the defense again.

None of these starters obedient! D'Antoni didn't know why things turned out like this, because the Lakers were not a team with a tradition of defensiveness, but he didn't know that doing the right thing with him would also provide motivation for the players and make their fucking defense become active.

"Is my tactics so unworthy of your trust?"

D'Antoni was already furious, and he immediately called for a timeout. It seemed to be trying to solve the problem of the team's backwardness, but in fact it was to have a good talk with these starters.

No one paid attention to him. Nash held the functional drink and raised his head to dream. Kobe and Xiao Han were discussing something. Kobe was saying that Xiao Han nodded repeatedly. Gasol was looking at him, but his face was cold. Only Kaman looked very obedient, but his eyes were very wandering and he did not dare to look at him.

D'Antoni was also cruel enough. Before the team still pulled the disadvantage, he replaced all five starters. He didn't think about the consequences of doing so. Last season, he would have taken some care of Kobe's feelings. Today he was so angry that he didn't care about anything.

In the past decade, there has been only one coach in the league who has the courage to do this. This is because the main players performed too poorly, which made him unbearable. There has never been a reckless substitution like D'Antoni who made players recklessly substitutions because of the disobedience of orders.

No one else mentioned it. Why didn’t D’Antoni think about it? What would Kobe think about doing this? Kobe, who was originally ignored by many so-called experts because of the injury to the Achilles tendon, has long been full of anger. What’s wrong now? D’Antoni, you look down on me, dare to be domineering to me?

Kobe's anger and dissatisfaction finally reached the critical point after this.

In the replacement, who can D'Antoni be there? Nick Young, Blake, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Hill and others. These people are obedient and dare not make trouble with the main force, claiming that they want to revolution, but they can be absent-minded because of this. Even the management has no choice but to think that their performance is greatly out of standard.

The defeat came here. The two consecutive victories at the beginning just made people build some confidence in the Lakers. Everyone thought D'Antoni was enlightened, and they thought he was influenced by Xiao Han, waiting to see if they could make the entire league look at him with admiration. As a result, such an obsession occurred.

It was indeed an own event. **Vict admitted after the game that when the Lakers suddenly began to change their playing style and began to focus on defense, he was a little unimaginable because the stars in the team are old and young and need training. It is impossible to stop such great masters as Kobe and Xiao Han. But who would have thought that D'Antoni actually replaced them by himself.

After this game, the Lakers executives talked to the team's head coach and the starter. Kupchek first said that he did not want similar things to the team again, and asked everyone to reflect on himself. Then he clearly pointed out that no one was allowed to have different opinions before confirming that D'Antoni's playing style could not work. Interestingly, Kupchek praised Xiao Han for taking the overall situation into consideration, which made Nash very amused.

After the meeting, it is said that Kobe expressed his dissatisfaction to Kupchek alone. The general manager advised him to be calm and not to be impatient. The reason was also clear and clear. He wanted to see if D'Antoni's tactics could be sublimated under Xiao Han's push, and at least it could have the same or even better results as Nash's peak.

Kobe chose to accept it. This time, the Achilles tendon injury made him look out of many things. As long as he could win two more championships, as long as he was still the leader of the team, even if he was just one of them, it was like he was with O'Neal back then, and he also accepted it.

However, the team's record trend was much beyond the expectations of the Lakers' management, which made them have to admit that the team had to change.

On November 24ri, the Lakers did not play on that day, so all media attention was on the Kings' away game against the Clippers, but there was no class to pay attention to this game. Just when the reporters were bored, the Lakers suddenly announced that they were going to hold a press conference to announce the decision to remove D'Antoni from his post.
