Chapter 386: The Lakers' Offensive Dilemma
The Lakers don't really want to focus on Zhang Yi in this ball, because in any case, using their strongest point to beat the opponent's weakest point is the meaning of basketball tactics.
With such an obvious defensive strength as Simpkins, it is unlikely that Wacker will allow Zhang Yi to go heads-up so simply.
After all, it's already the regular season, and it's okay to play like this in the preseason.
Of course, the audience is looking forward to the battle between the two strongest players, after all, both Zhang Yi and Simpkins are currently the most anticipated successors to Curry.
This direct dialogue may affect the basis of future matchups. Because there will always be a restraint relationship before the star. This can basically be seen from the first time the two meet.
And from the point of view, Zhang Yi holds the ball, and everyone thinks that the Lakers' tactics have become the main game of the star, and then the guard becomes a shooter.
The reason why I think so is also because Zhang Yi has shown good organizational skills and basic skills in holding the ball in previous games. Even if the opponent is Simpkins, it can be seen that he has absolute confidence that he will not be broken.
But everyone thought wrong, Zhang Yi passed the ball as soon as he reached the top of the arc, and it was directly hung under the basket. And his body immediately moved diagonally to the side, and he made a swap run with Oscar.
Simpkins knew that this was Zhang Yi's preparation for Oscar to block himself and then catch the ball for a jumper.
So he immediately instructed his opponent Raj to make up for it and keep up with Zhang Yi, while he himself was marking Osk, who moved to near the range, and blocked Wali's pass path by the way.
A good defender is one who knows how to analyze the opponent's tactical thinking, and this cannot be taught only because of talent. That's why great defensive players will always be rarer than great offensive players.
It's also the reason why great players are chasing a DPOY trophy. Jordan took it, 'Big Dreams' took it, David?? Robinson also took the ......
The reason why these players can be written into cross-era superstars is because they are not only MVPs on the field, but also super MVPs who can attack and retreat and defend!
Players who are better than the offense abound, and if you want to stand out from them, you have to play crazy performances like Curry's. This kind of great player doesn't need a defensive bonus, but that's their regret after all.
The Simpkins are now on his way to an even greater epic palace. Under his interference, Vali did not pass the ball.
Because the Spurs center is played by the more athletic Hook, although he does not have an absolute height advantage like the previous center.
However, such a muscle stick is still very effective against young people who are still playing on their bodies because they are not perfect, and they are still playing with their bodies.
Whether Wali chose to use a feint to score a layup in the restricted area, or a back-to-back turnover jumper, Hook was restrained to death.
After the last few attempts to no avail, he had to find Robert in the crowd, who had managed to move through a small gap.
It's just that the Spurs' defensive strength lies in their control of the perimeter. Robert received the ball smoothly, but the defender immediately pounced.
Coupled with the fact that there is no time to attack, Robert can only choose to take a hard shot.
Filton, who was originally defending him, was not tall, but his bounce was really amazing. Originally, Robert was the kind of player who always didn't shoot at the top in order to shoot fast.
Unexpectedly, his shooting habits were also penetrated by his opponent, and he snapped directly and capped down.
Robert's reluctant hand raised to the referee to signal that the opponent had hit, but received no response. After all, the linesman is very concerned about such small actions, as long as he does not immediately signal to the referee, it will not be punished.
"Fake, isn't it, the defense is so terrifying!?"
In fact, Robert himself knew that Felton was a good hat, but it was too scary to believe. You know, when he catches the ball, the opponent is still two steps away.
Robert is already confident in his adjustment and shooting speed, so it seems that facing an opponent like Spurs is still not enough.
And in the comprehensive analysis before the game, Filton is definitely not the most terrifying outside defender of the Spurs, so seeing this, Wacker also scratched his hair, "Damn, how the hell did these guys get together." ”
If it weren't for the preseason encounter, WACKER really can't imagine how the team could have made such an astonishing addition in one offseason.
Gianna also helped the Lakers get a lot of good players. But it's clear that the Spurs have better resources, and if it weren't for Zhang Yi, maybe the Lakers would be fighting for the playoffs now.
But the Spurs are not, and now they are absolutely at the level of the championship. Not to mention Curry Jr., who is on the verge of retirement, even if he returns to the peak form of a few years ago, can he really lead the team out of the Spurs' encirclement? It's hard to tell!
The game continued, and the Spurs still did not directly seek the position of Simpkins. It's just that the Lakers don't dare to let it go at all.
is also because Simpkins took away Zhang Yi, the core of the opponent's defense, so the Lakers' defense just looks good, but in fact, there are a lot of holes in the two passes.
As Felton faced Robert, who was coming from the defense, he hit another three-pointer. The Lakers, who started with a 6-point difference, really had the biggest trouble so far in the season.
And there is no way for Wacker to call a timeout right away, because the Spurs' style of play is restraint for them, and there is no way to change that.
The only thing he can count on is that the players on the field are smart, don't be caught by the opponent in such a gap, and the opponent's hand should not be so hot.
Although it is pessimistic, the fact that the Lakers can win so many games in a row does not mean that they are invincible.
In addition to Zhang Yi is really strong, Robert is strong in attack and weak in defense, and Wali is weak in attack and strong in defense, and it is impossible to change so quickly.
If it weren't for the fact that after Zhang Yi and Vali blocked and dismantled, he bypassed Simpkins' defense and immediately shot a backward jumper, temporarily stabilizing the situation, otherwise the wind direction of this game would be directly taken away by the Spurs.
Of course, Simpkins didn't plan to keep a clean sheet against Zhang Yi, after all, this is not a football game, and he is not a goalkeeper. But he knows very well that the jump shot is not Zhang Yi's strong point, as long as he controls the opponent's breakthrough and three-point, the defense will achieve good results.
Soon, his idea was confirmed, even though the Spurs' third three-pointer slipped out of the frame. But Zhang Yi's chasing jump shot also missed.
"You can't just try to avoid the Simpkins!" Wacker also called Zhang Yi to the sidelines and said, because when the team's offense has problems, the superstar's solution to the problem is to blow up the opposite core!
