The latest news came from the Lakers in the early morning of the 1st. Redick talked about G4 personnel during an interview

In the G4 game where the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, Redick made a decision that no coach had ever made. There was no personnel adjustment in the entire second half in 24 minutes. In the end, the Lakers finally lost to the Timberwolves. I thought Redick's employment was already amazing, but I didn't expect that Redick's speech in a recent interview was even more unacceptable.

When the reporter asked whether the Lakers' final loss was caused by the player's fatigue, Redick said: We performed poorly in the fourth quarter in the past few games, and James and Doncic missed the key layup. I don't think this is caused by fatigue. Who would have thought that Redick would say this in an interview. For a 40-year-old veteran, he was allowed to play for 40+ minutes in the second half without a minute of rest. At the last moment of the G3 game, James lost the game because he was not physically exhausted. G4 was almost the original reenactment. Redick actually said that not making a layup was not caused by fatigue, which would hurt the players' hearts.

When the reporter asked whether the confidence of players who did not play in the second half would be affected, Redick said: I have talked to them, they are not affected, there is no problem. Previously, Reddick also said that not performing personnel rotation in the second half was a temporary decision during the half-time break, but this decision is really bad now. So many outstanding coaches in history have never used such a tactic. Reddick did this in his first season as a coach, and in the playoffs, half of the Lakers' G4 loss was caused by Reddick, and there were big problems with his employing strategy.

Regarding the next G5, Redick and Doncic have expressed their willingness to play this game as a tiebreak. After all, the Lakers have no way out and every minute of the season will be treated as a tiebreak battle.

Next, the Lakers will welcome the arrival of G5 at home. In the last game, the two teams should have tied to the Tianwang Mountain. Redick's stubbornness put the team in a 1-3 dilemma. Whether the Lakers can get a glimmer of hope depends on Redick. If the main players are still allowed to play for more than 40 minutes to the last moment, the Lakers' loss script will be staged again. There is no room for mistakes now. The entire Lakers team can only give it a chance to fight for themselves.
