Chapter 408: Robert's Inner Demon
Robert now has to face Valanda, which is a big challenge for his mentality, after all, he was abused in the NCAA semifinals.
If it weren't for the great god of Escalo to stabilize the situation, it would have been really difficult to determine that the final winner would be their UCLA Bruins.
Although today is different, Robert is confident that he has improved a lot. Whether it's the big picture or the ability to pass and respond.
Robert, who was the sole champion on the field back then, is dead, and now standing on the court is a Robert who can change his playing style for the team and give everything for victory.
After dribbling past half-time, Valanda immediately began to press the defense. It's not a tactic he often uses, as there aren't many point guards in the league who can be taken seriously.
It's not that Robert already has that kind of strength, but Valanda wants to suppress his opponent's self-confidence from the start.
No matter how Robert grows up, there must still be memories of his defeat in the college league in his heart. All Valanda did was to bring back that memory and then use that frustration to get the better of him.
If Robert is a warrior, then Valanda is a general, and the two of them will never be at the same level in this point guard position.
Because Robert always had only the idea of fighting, Valanda could have more mind on strategy and tactics. There's even more to it.
The top point guards of all time are masters of mental tactics. John Stockton, the assist king of the year, can use his physical advantage to suppress his opponents.
Someone once said that no opponent could look at him for three seconds. Because as long as he sees through the flaws in his heart, he will be used to fight it.
That's why, in addition to assists, he can be the league's steal leader for several years in a row.
Not only Stockton, but also the 'Magic' Johnson among the black point guards, including 'Glove' Payton and 'Old Demon' Jason?? Kidd is not a master of psychological warfare.
What did Johnson rely on to go from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position? Is it just his super-tall stature among point guards? Of course, it is a strong psychological quality.
In his opinion, both a tough center and a flexible point guard have weaknesses, and he can take advantage of those weaknesses and target them one by one.
In addition to the trash talk he is known for, Payton also has the glory of getting DPOY as a point guard. His ability is not outstanding, but the defense is definitely historic.
This is the same as his little brother Jason?? Kidd is exactly the same, except for defense, he inherited Payton's ruthlessness and trash talk, and the assists are more demonic.
Valanda is not the kind of person who will show his edge, but he will not let go of any weaknesses in the game.
Especially in the face of an opponent like Robert, who has an advantage in his own mentality, his every move is actually putting pressure on Robert.
Half-time pressing doesn't really have any practical effect, but it can have a mental impact on an opponent who has been completely manipulated by himself in a crucial match.
Robert, who was originally among the top players in the league in ball control, made a mistake in a panic.
Although it was not the kind of mistake that was cut off, Robert's mentality was also faintly problematic when facing Valanda. He found himself simply unable to break through his opponent's defense.
The real situation is certainly not so scary, after all, Valanda did not start out on defense. He sometimes leads the big picture and leadership of the offense.
But in Robert's view, this opponent's defense is just watertight.
So much so that almost half of the 24 seconds of the attack were wasted by him in front of Valanda near midfield.
It wasn't until Zhang Yi couldn't see that he could only run over to answer that Robert reluctantly passed the basketball out. The Lakers' offensive rhythm has been thrown out of order.
When Zhang Yi dribbled the ball and faced the defense, he shook off the opponent by feints, and then pretended to shoot, but actually passed to the center who ran out of the point guard inside. The latter received the ball and made a decisive layup.
Hulk's attention is all on Zhang Yi, so there is such an obvious leakage, but if everything is normal.
This time, the Lakers' offense could only have Zhang Yi to shoot. This means that they are reluctant to make a move.
Unlike the last time the Nets had a run by Valanda, the Lakers were completely pushed to the brink.
Because Robert, who plays as a point guard, didn't play at his due level in front of Valanda.
In the world of basketball, there is a relationship between the food chain and the natural world, and in the eyes of everyone, Valanda is now like standing at the top of Robert's food chain.
It doesn't matter how much the Lakers' tweaks improve their opponents' defense. But now Robert can't defend against Valanda and can't break him through in attack.
This was a failed adjustment for WACKER. Although this is only one round, there is already so much information from Valanda's body.
Yibian fought again, whether it was Morris or Hulk, they were still bitten by the Lakers, but the defense must be coherent.
Problems in any link are fatal. At this point, Zach ran out of the open space to ask for it, and then of course Valanda immediately distributed the ball to him, who easily hit the basket and completed the layup to score!
This is the Nets' tactic, and they can play this kind of passing and cutting coordination normally even against the Spurs who are top-notch defensively.
That's why Valranda's strength is so touted, not just for one game, or for a month or two of play, but for the quality he embodies.
A good point guard is much more difficult to come by than a good point guard and small forward. Because anyone who has a little height advantage and offensive ability will like the number two position, or directly upgrade to the number three position.
The No. 1 position may seem important, but the stats are often the most mundane one, and their chances of performance are sometimes not even as good as the No. 4 position, which is responsible for grabbing the board.
Varanda has clearly made up for the league's lack of a super-point guard. Now Curry Jr. is on the verge of retirement. And the other superstars are either number two or number three.
Because in the era of the withering of the center, there are not many outstanding stars in the number four and five positions. And the No. 1 position is also facing the situation of no successor.
When Zhang Yi appeared in the league as Curry Jr.'s successor, in fact, in the eyes of many football critics, Curry Jr.'s real successor should be Valanda, who is also the No. 1 position.
