Chapter 393: Simpkins' Strength

Zhang Yi is not the kind of player who can completely defeat Simpkins right now. He has the strength, but only if he opens up his own traits.

Although the Strength Trainer and Wacker made it clear that it would not be easy not to use it unless it was a crucial match, after all, the side effects of this trait other than the consumption of a lot of energy have not yet been determined.

And the most terrifying thing is that the New York Knicks' superstar 'rush' Thomas seems to have turned on this trait in the preseason confrontation with Zhang Yi.

But the end result was that after two super outbursts, it quickly went into injury repair. Although, according to the team report, it is only a labor loss plus a muscle strain, as long as a short rest is enough.

As a result, Thomas came back and exited intermittently, and even experienced the extent that he was left in the locker room for treatment at halftime.

He didn't have any serious injuries in the game, and he didn't fall or even bruise, so this also made Wacker and others even more worried.

Thomas undoubtedly used this trait in the regular season, and he did it well, scoring 56 points in the first game, and that's the first three quarters, nearly breaking the all-time record.

God knows how many points Thomas will score in the end if he continues to play in the fourth quarter, anyway, he is in good shape like an alien!

It's like Zhang Yi snatching the ball from Wacker in the first place, or leading the team to play Varanda's Duke University in the NCAA.

This trait will really put him into a state of near-invincibility for a brief moment. Zhang Yi's statement is that he is entering a state of physique, and what he sees others is like slow motion, while he can move normally.

So he can steal any opponent and pull off all sorts of seemingly impossible offenses.

The same goes for Thomas, except that he uses it like crazy, even non-stop in the first game. God knows if this is the cause of his injury.

After all, even in the preseason, Thomas only played half the game and stayed in the locker room and did not come out.

Legend has it that he was unable to move because of complete physical exhaustion. This is the same as when WACKER saw Zhang Yi use the trait for the first time. It's just that unlike Zhang Yi, Thomas has been using traits for a longer time, as if he can also control them better.

Of course, all this is still speculation. Because the reason why Thomas is now resting due to injury is only a minor injury, the specific condition of his body is unknown.

However, for the sake of the safest considerations, it is best for Zhang Yi not to use the trait now.

The current Lakers team hasn't been held back to that point. Even if they lose in the end, they are not unconvinced, after all, the strength of Spurs is worthy of winning this game.

As the game continues. Although it improves the defensive ability of the No. 1 position, thus limiting Raj's individual breakthrough and creating a second opportunity for his teammates to attack.

But it also directly weakened the Lakers' offensive ability, as if it was back to the beginning of the first quarter. It's just that the two teams changed their routines, and the final result was that the Spurs took the lead.

This match was supposed to be the highest level of competition in the league right now. Even if both of them may not be able to reach the Western Conference finals at the same time.

After all, there is an unknown Golden State Warriors led by Curry Jr. God knows what their problems are, but as long as Curry Jr. is still on the Warriors, they will still be the favorites to win the championship.

This can also be seen in the casino's odds. While the Lakers and Spurs are infinitely close to the Warriors, they are still far from it.

At least from the current point of view, even if both teams have defeated the Warriors, no one can say how far the Warriors will be able to bounce back after Curry Jr. plays in form.

The current Lakers team has hit a bottleneck, and this is the San Antonio Spurs.

Simpkins did a good job of limiting Zhang Yi on the offensive end, just as he did at the beginning of the first quarter of the game. Zhang Yi, who used to be known as an offensive kaleidoscope, looked extremely reluctant in front of Simpkins whether it was projection or breakthrough.

The immediate result is that the hit rate is plummeting. His inability to score means the Lakers' offense will be paralyzed.

After all, Robert can't be expected to score consecutive hero goals. His three-point shooting percentage was already high, reaching 6 of 10 shots! But that still won't save the Lakers.

Because the Spurs are keeping an eye on the Lakers' outside all the time. Didn't Robert shoot well, and that was only when they were rotating defense.

As soon as Felton came on the court, the defensive intensity against him came up. Not to mention the shooting percentage, Robert has no chance to shoot at all now.

The Lakers don't allow a player to force a shot unless he receives the ball in the last second of the offense. But how is this possible, there is only one player in the whole team who can play strongly, Zhang Yi, because only he has this certainty!

But now the situation is that with the highest hit rate, Robert is sealed. Zhang Yi was played by Simpkins again. As the team's point differential widens, the Lakers are about to enter a dead end.

Because in order to stimulate the team's attack, Wacker has changed to an all-main offensive lineup. But it can be seen that they have little effect.

After all, the current Lakers team, even if it is an all-offensive lineup, may not be able to break through the defense of the Spurs' strongest shield. In addition, the opponent has always paid attention to the distribution of physical energy.

In contrast, in addition to Zhang Yi getting rest, the physical fitness of other players has also become a problem that must be considered.

After Robert hit six three-pointers, he didn't look like he was attacking much. But when Zhang Yi was away, he attacked many times in a row.

Although the performance under the basket is not as good as the play on the outside, after all, the difference between the two opportunities is worlds apart. But it can be seen that he is also a player who is willing to play for the team.

The current Spurs are bigger and better, while the Lakers are playing worse and worse.

"It's clear that both teams have the best line-up! But Spurs are a little stronger! The on-site commentary also said so. He also recognized the Lakers' efforts.

But the strength of the game of basketball will make all the difference. Just before entering the fourth quarter, the situation on the court was already in the hands of the Spurs.

The Lakers didn't play a single switch offense throughout the second half. Every attack is like an old cow, grinding little by little in positional warfare.

The final result, of course, was not smooth, and their attack could not be played. Even more sad is that the defense is not very effective either. Although Raj was contained, Simpkins' individual singles remained unresolved.

God knows what he did this offseason, but now Zhang Yi really feels that he is close to the inexplicable feeling of Curry Jr.
