The Wizards, led by Varanda, not only have a smooth offense, but also have a strong sense of integrity. If the Lakers hadn't relied on Zhang Yi to maintain an efficient scoring momentum, the score would have been pulled apart long ago.

Of course, this is the reason why Valanda has two good partners, Doom and Tucker, but the corresponding Zhang Yi also brings Robert and Vali, which proves from the side that there is still room for improvement in the strength of the two of them.

Lakers head coach Wacker carefully instructed the assistant coach to record his son and Robert's one-man performance, and immediately took a video to guide them during the timeout.

This is the NBA, which is much more difficult to play than the NCAA, although it seems that there is still a chance if you don't play well, but in fact, it is the opposite. Because this is a commercial league, the performance of each game will affect the value of the players themselves.

Zhang Yi is now at the center of attention, in addition to focusing on his own personal performance, but also to help the team improve their performance, otherwise, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Society will have a stronger reaction, and the collapse of the player's personality is not a good thing.

While the Lakers didn't take this preseason game seriously at all, reporters and media didn't think so. After all, the influence of the new champion is there. If the team with the supposedly most talent still loses, then the Lakers' prospects are not good.

In addition to improving his personal strength throughout the offseason, Zhang Yi actually took the team to Mr. Tony in Chicago to train his physical fitness.

Robert overcame his maximum physical strength so he could get the most out of his strength. At the beginning of the second quarter, Valanda was resting off the court, and he told Doom about his opponent's weakness, so it was a single between the quarterbacks.

It's just that the result greatly surprised him. Robert played the first quarter full, but he didn't expect to be dissatisfied with the speed of the game after that, and even after the warm-up, it seemed that the defensive intensity was greater.

Doom's first attack was successfully tackled by his close guard. Although Zhang Yi was also resting off the court, Robert's speed was even faster than Doom, who was known for his agility, and he was seen dribbling to the opponent's basket and then scoring with a dunk!

This defensive attack also broke everyone's doubts about his strength.

In the next five minutes, Robert and Doom went back and forth to each other, and the two quickly scored double-doubles, showing super touch and offensive ability.

When Zhang Yi and Valanda came on the court to finish, the two turned on the shooter mode of moving to catch the ball and waiting for opportunities. It can be said that the strength of these two people is almost the same.

Being able to be such an efficient scorer by Robert at the end of the first round, Gianna also proved to the world that she is not just Kobe's daughter, basketball genes are in her blood, and the person she likes will not go wrong.

In order to let Vali play in excellent condition, Zhang Yi gave up his opportunity to attack, and opened up space for him to single Tucker again and again. In the face of Tucker, who is stronger in height and arm span than himself, not only did he not suffer when defending, but his strong core strength also helped him succeed in his back play.

Vali has inherited Wacker's strengths, and his physical strength is unusually strong, plus he has focused on increasing his weight and core strength in Tony's training class.

In addition, he has grown a few centimeters taller this offseason, with a height of 2.13 meters and a weight of 110 kilograms, which makes him more than enough to compete with the vast majority of traditional centers in the league.

What's even more surprising is the strange speed of Vali, because Wacker trained him as a small forward from the beginning, teaching him the defense of a power forward and the scoring skills of a center. So he can be said to be comfortable playing on the court.

Once in the groove, the Lakers' Brown Bears Sanjie's tacit understanding is revealed. With Vali inside, Robert outside, and Zhang Yi in the middle, the Wizards simply don't have a suitable defensive strategy.

When Valanda got into foul trouble because of his impatience, the Wizards' weakness of lacking space players was exposed.

Although Doom can pull out the play, he can't tear up the Lakers' defense at all, because Robert can limit the opponent's projection well one-on-one.

Without the strategy of Valanda, the absolute core, the Wizards' offense has become a boring variety of singles. Their problems for the new season are also obvious, relying too much on Valanda, and if they don't solve this problem, the future prospects will be greatly reduced.

In the final period of the first half, because the Lakers played a wave of offensive climax, the score instantly stretched to double digits. Although he was hit by a three-pointer from Valanda in the end, it didn't help.

Gianna sat in the audience seat closest to the Lakers bench, and when Zhang Yi and they got off the court, they also stood up and applauded, these newcomers not only ran in smoothly, but also played the performance they imagined. Gianna was also relieved of her choice, because winning this match would have put much less pressure on her.

In the second half, Zhang Yi did not come on immediately, and Robert was on the field for a while with a substitute. Although he was still effective offensively, the quality of the Lakers' defense immediately declined, and Valanda immediately led the team to recover some points.

Zhang Yi is not just an offensive hub on the court, he is also a defensive gate connecting the restricted area and the outside line, and it is with his containment that the Wizards' interior line cannot be opened.

It wasn't until Vali was back on the court that Tucker's scoring momentum slowed a bit. The whistle was tighter in this game, and it wasn't just Valanda who picked up three fouls early, but Robert and Vali as well. The intensity was a bit less like a pre-season game, so the crowd at Staples Stadium was a little dissatisfied.

When the referee blew the whistle, there was a huge boo from the scene. Even Wacker and others felt that the referee was a bit of a show-stealing game.

At the end of the third quarter, Zhang Yi re-appeared, and the score had been narrowed to five points by the Wizards. As it turned out, only Vali and Robert could not compete with several of the opposing team's main forces.

On the first ball back on the field, Zhang Yi asked for the ball on the outside. Although three points are not his strong point, the opponent does not dare to let him go easily.

I saw him shake his shoulders, his body sank, and his stride flashed past his opponent like a meteor, and his speed and agility were almost like that of a short defender.

He was still standing outside the three-point line in the last second, but in the next second, Zhang Yi had already killed the penalty area. Although Tucker pounced at the risk of becoming a backdrop, Zhang Yi saw that his huge opponent did not slow down, but directly resisted him, and then jumped up on his feet to avoid defensive interference in the air and scored a backhand layup. A coherent set of movements, as if he had thought of it before the attack......

The Staples audience was boiling because they seemed to see the rebirth of 'Peter Pan' Kobe Bryant!
