Today, the Lakers traveled to challenge their arch-rivals, the Nuggets, and they won a thrilling 123-100 victory. They limited Jokic to just 12 points today, making just seven shots and hitting two of them in the game. On the other hand, the Lakers' big three Doncic, Reaves and James scored a total of 80 points, and Doncic played the best game since joining the Lakers, scoring 32 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals.

Today's game is of great significance to the Lakers, because the Nuggets have been pressing the Lakers for several years, and it seems that the Lakers have no self-confidence to beat them when facing the Nuggets, and today's game has regained the confidence of the Lakers. After Doncic joined the Lakers, the Lakers had a new look, and Redick's on-court layout ability was better than the previous Ham, so after the two adjustments, the Lakers were no longer afraid of the current Nuggets team.

It's hard to win against the Nuggets on the inside, and Davis tends to not play as well against the Nuggets. And now without Davis, there is an outside ball-handling core, and a top scorer Doncic, then it is a huge reinforcement for the Lakers, just against the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' defensive ability is actually very poor, so the Lakers have three points to break the opponent's defense alone. Doncic, Reaves and James all have this ability, so the Nuggets' defensive pressure is also very high. The Lakers' defensive strategy has been adjusted in the current face of the Nuggets, which comes from Redick's wisdom. In the past, when there was Davis, he still couldn't guard Jokic, but now Redick simply uses a small lineup to choose to pack Jokic and let Jokic pass the ball. And after Jokic's pass, the Lakers were able to do a quick rotation defense with a small lineup. In this way, the Lakers' overall defense is better, and the Nuggets can't find too good offensive opportunities.

So that's what Redick's tactical philosophy has brought to the Lakers, he doesn't follow the rules, he dares to push the envelope. Of course, from the other side, it is also revealed that Hamm's coaching level is not as good as Redick's, and his on-the-spot coaching ability is indeed far from Redick's. After this game, the Lakers' confidence was completely different when they faced the Nuggets. Even if the two sides meet in the playoffs, the Lakers will have plenty of courage to take on the Nuggets.
