After the official timeout, both sides made adjustments to their lineup and gameplay details.
The Lakers are more precise in utilizing their stars. At this stage, the Lakers focus on isolating Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, providing them with a more suitable lineup.
When Zhang Hao is the main attacker, he needs at least one rim-running big man. The Lakers have several options: Barkley, George Lynch, Jason Williams, and Korcy.
A point of second distribution, which Magician, Kenny Anderson, and Brian Shaw can all handle.
On the wings, Doug Christie, James Robinson, and Byron Scott are all options.
Kenny Anderson's isolation is simpler; just spread the floor, and he can drive and dish.
But the drawback is ensuring offensive strength disrupts the defensive lineup, worsening their already limited defensive capabilities.
