The Lakers have started the season on a three-game winning streak after beating the Kings today, and we've seen a lot of things in those three games, more so that Redick's coaching style is completely different from Ham's. His coaching ability is on the verge of surpassing Hamm, at least for now. Some details are worth exploring.

The biggest change since Redick coached the Lakers was to establish an offensive system with Davis as the core, which was most clearly reflected in the first two games. Davis averaged more than 30 points per game in all three games. Today, because it was back-to-back games, Davis took fewer shots, while James took more of the offense. Of course, the next step will not change the offensive tone with Davis as the core.

Another aspect is to reduce the burden on James, so that James knows how to recuperate and save energy during the long regular season. When he needs to score, when he needs to dominate the game, he steps up and helps the team. For example, in the fourth quarter of today, when Davis was off the court, James scored consecutive individual points to help the team establish an advantage. This is just Redick's macro adjustment, and Redick's adjustment in terms of details is more worthy of the attention of fans, especially in the combination of the lineup.

Today's Reddick lineup on the field is worth everyone's attention. That is, he put James, Davis, Russell, Reaves and Knecht on the court at the same time. When these five people are on the court at the same time, they can give full play to James's individual power. Because the other three guys all have excellent outside projection. Russell, Reaves and Knecht can all open up space, and defenders won't dare to let go of the three of them at this point. James and Davis can safely launch a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and play the combination they want. In this way, it can also fully exert James's impact ability after blocking and pick-and-roll, and Davis's finishing ability after going down.

This kind of lineup combination is basically inexplicable if James's physical strength can be guaranteed. The most comfortable lineup for James in his career is that he has a group of pitchers around him. Just like the Cavaliers back then, there were many pitchers around them, including Love, Korver, JR Smith and so on. And Redick seems to want to replicate the lineup of the year and re-unleash James's power. The Lakers' biggest problem last season was the lack of that sense of space.

So Redick is really a genius coach, and he was able to spot the Lakers' problems as soon as he took office. He is able to take a series of measures to solve problems in response to problems, and he is really not a coach who talks about it. Although he is a rookie coach, his coaching philosophy and wisdom are no less than some veteran coaches. I wonder what the fans think?
