WACKER kept reminding Robert not to let up his defences when leading the team. Because Zhang Yi changed to a quarterback, he will not return to the small forward position he is more familiar with in this game.

Of course, this is an adjustment for this game, and even WACKER does not know what the future holds. There is still time, and there is still a chance to change formations in training.

Now it's not a single-game elimination system like the NCAA, which can be regarded as a breath of relief for Robert and others. Because if your performance hasn't improved.

For the sake of the team's victory, there is a good chance that they will be abandoned. When it comes to a higher-level game like the NBA, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the manager will definitely activate the players in his hands to perform at their best. Of course, it's not just about salary, in the professional arena, everyone wants their own place.

To exist is to be reasonable. Robert and Vali had obvious shortcomings, and they didn't have enough time for them to grow. It's not their problem, it should be that the Lakers' situation doesn't quite match these two.

Competing for a championship always has to throw away a lot of players, and this is a historical inevitability. WACKER has now done everything it can do.

He chose the moment to bring Robert on the pitch to make him understand what his problem was. For Donde, he will not let go of the opportunity in front of this kind of opponent.

And he broke through to score, which was also a good blow for Robert. Because at the beginning, Zhang Yi was in the same position to defend the opponent well.

Robert has never thought that his talent is less than Zhang Yi, and it can even be said that if he just compares his body, he has the confidence to compare with his brother.

But when it comes to the competition, the status is very different. This is precisely why it is worth pondering. If Robert himself can't figure it out, it's his own problem.

There are many things that Wacker could point out, but not as profound as he could have figured it out himself.

Even though Robert has been getting in shape, he has increased his defensive training and improved defensive awareness. He had said this countless times, but it was clear that he hadn't done it again.

Zhang Yi and the rest of the Lakers are also looking at this, and Robert's advantage is slowly slipping away, which is not to say that he is not good, but that he is not good enough now.

Don wasn't just unkind to the rookie, and in the first round of the showdown he shook him off several positions with a clean breakaway.

Robert has a lot of experience at all, but his defense always likes to take it in. That's a big problem in itself, and if you can't untie it yourself, he'll never be able to reach a high level of defense.

The Lakers are not waiting for him to grow up to defend average players, instead, they are asking Robert to be able to defend opposing arrowheads.

This is the meaning of the existence of the quarterback, what if the opponent's player is not Tang De but a player of Zhang Yi's level? Should Robert switch to the number three position and let them swap?

Apparently impossible. Because at that point, there is simply no possibility of such a thing.

Robert is usually up against opponents' scorers. That's why we need to train him defensively. Zhang Yi's current integration of offense and defense is the reason why he is touted by the majority of football critics.

The same goes for Sean and Valranda. And after the last game, Sean was even more affirmed, which is actually related to Robert's poor defense.

If his marking can be ruthless, the help provided to Zhang Yi will be greater. They could have easily strangled Sean's lone seedling.

The Hornets' style of play is simple and not simple. Because many quarterbacks in the league are like Robert who don't pay attention to their own defense, Sean will make Sean's simple and rough breakthrough unguarded.

Now Robert has understood his problem, but whether it is Zhang Yi or Vali, they can't help. Improving the defense is his own thing.

Donde didn't forget to challenge Robert after scoring easily. Because this rookie who scores a lot is also one of the strong point guards of the future.

If he could take this opportunity to suppress them, Tang De would certainly be happy to do so. And he himself is a man like Robert, so he is well aware of the weaknesses of his opponents.

The Trail Blazers immediately regained their vitality after Zhang Yi went off the court, which shows how much impact a defender change has on a team's overall defense.

Not to mention that Robert's presence is almost a colander on the pitch. He could have chased after him many times, but he didn't.

It's not that he can't, but he doesn't want to, and that's why the Lakers pressed him to the bench.

Scoring is very cool, and a high score is the way to attract popularity. Robert has now done just that. But if he can only score, he will be used as a brush.

His abilities will never be truly recognized. Tang Deyao's performance has said all this. Not to mention that the current Lakers are behind because of him.

Robert's always confident offense is now also blocked by Donde, and this is the strength of someone who has defense and emphasizes defense.

It's not so much that he doesn't have a defense, but that he's smart and knows how to interfere with his opponents. Not to mention that it's still a good opportunity to hit the rookie for the current performance.

Some people just take the initiative to improve their defensive level. For Zhang Yi, he knew that he could save physical energy, because he couldn't prevent it.

But for Robert, it was different, their paths were similar. It's really, really easy to defend. Don De could even guess his style of play.

At a time when the Lakers don't have a better scoring option, the style of play is actually very similar to that of the Trail Blazers. Zhang Yi's influence was clear from this time.

If Wacker hadn't been experimenting with the lineup, he would have replaced Robert right away, or replaced Zhang Yi again.

Because without the interaction of these two men, the Lakers' offense has actually become very monotonous and weak.

Tang De's sudden outburst was actually Robert's defensive problem after Zhang Yi left the game, and his offense did not weaken in essence. And there are many opportunities for him to withstand the pressure and shoot.

But if you can't limit the opponent's score, it doesn't make much sense to just play your own. Because of the advantages of one and the other, the final result of the game is who is more accurate, and who can make the opponent more difficult to score.

Robert didn't have a temper at all, because he didn't focus on defense, and he was prone to fouls if he occasionally chased a little more aggressively.

This is also in Tang De's arms, even if Zhang Yi returns to the court, he has already established a psychological advantage, and the future games will become even better.
