We have all seen the game between the Lakers and Bucks. For the Lakers, it is actually still a huge test. After all, this is a back-to-back game. However, in this game, the Lakers led by as much as 31 points, but the second half was full of drama, and it can be said to be a stuck victory. So what is worth analyzing in this game? In a stuck victory, the Lakers did 4 things right. Redick is ever-changing, and reuse will pay off.

To say that the key to the Lakers winning the game is doing these four things right. The first thing is to gain an early start and establish an advantage in advance. The Lakers, who are playing away games, have a clear starting strategy, which is to establish an advantage in advance. So we also saw that the Lakers accumulated capital for themselves and were comfortable in the second half. Even if the Bucks counterattacked in the third quarter, the Lakers' capital was enough to eat. Perhaps the Lakers also know that they are prone to collapse in the third quarter, so they simply accumulate capital early.

The second thing is that Redick’s employment is ever-changing. As far as this matter is concerned, it deserves everyone's attention. We all know that the Lakers have many injured players now, but Redick is not panic at all. The employment is ever-changing, and it can be explained clearly when to use whom. It has to be said that Redick this season is absolutely top-notch in terms of employment and on-the-spot adjustments. Otherwise, a lineup like the Lakers would not have such a good record.

The third thing is to change the approach to Antetokounmpo. In fact, the Lakers were able to have such a big lead in the first half because they changed their defensive method against Antetokounmpo. It not only made Antetokounmpo uncomfortable, but also cut off contact with his teammates. It seems that Antetokounmpo has a high shooting efficiency, but the game is very sparse. Of course, players like Antetokounmpo still have ways to break the game, but they still can't make up for the 31-point deficit at most, so they can only accept the loss.

The fourth thing is to slow down the pace and rush for rebounds. If you have watched the whole game, you will know that whenever the Lakers can gain an advantage, they are actually playing at a slow pace, dragging the game to their favorite rhythm, rather than running with the Bucks. On the other hand, the Lakers' impact on rebounding is also relatively good. In fact, this is how the game is. After these details are taken care of, it will be a matter of course for the team to win.

It is worth mentioning that Redick used many players at the end of the bench in this game, such as Kleber. After reusing these players, there are still many rewards. In general, even if the current Lakers lineup is relatively incomplete, the team can maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness. This is the biggest change for the Lakers this season. Everyone just waits and sees what kind of game the Lakers with the full lineup will play.
