Nothing worked last year at the Lakers. Something needed to be changed. On the roster, they didn’t manage to intervene a lot (at least on the main names), so in LA they had to work on something else. The mentality, for example. He tells it Anthony Davis: “Last year we all tried to play selflessly, today everyone is much more aggressive”summarizes the yellow-violet n ° 3, which however hastens to specify: “Obviously we are all altruistic by nature, towards our companions – we want to pass the ball and all – but what I mean is that there is a greater focus, especially in the three of us [LeBron e Westbrook, gli altri due, ndr]in the try to get in the rhythm and get into the game immediately. If we are aggressive, then good opportunities also come for all our comrades. “A change of attitude that aims to avoid what happened last year:” We were very careful to try to involve everyone.often ended up that the ball remained stationary on the perimetermaking us waste important seconds and dragging ours offensive possessions at the limit of 24. If, on the other hand, Russ can play in transition and LeBron too, the field ends up opening up, because you give them discharges opportunities arise for everyone“.

Good idea on paper, then as always it will be the field to give the real responses.
