Zhang Yi can't provide much help to Robert now, and the matchup in the No. 1 position will always be an important part of the basketball court.

And as the brains of the team, the ability of the point guard is the most important prerequisite for determining the direction of this game.

If it weren't for the fact that Robert had been abused by Valanda in the NCAA and was replayed to the No. 2 spot. Otherwise, when he was with the Bruins, he should have continued to play the point guard position.

Because his style of play is actually more inclined to the offensive No. 1 position play such as passing and controlling breakthroughs. In the second position, his off-the-ball awareness is not very good.

In addition to the fact that this awareness needs to be built up by training, talent can also affect too many things. Otherwise, the NBA, which has just introduced the three-point line for six years, would not have produced a cross-generational shooter like Reggie Miller.

Regardless of whether he is in the three-point record or not, he is also one of the most important shooters in NBA history after pioneering off-ball play.

Robert clearly doesn't show that trait, and while his three-point shooting percentage is now even at the top of the shooting list, that doesn't mean he can be the No. 2 spot in key battles.

Because in the configuration of the Lakers, there are still the most players who can play shooting guards. Conversely, good point guards are scarce.

Oscar also reminded Wacker with his inconsistent play that the Lakers can't rely on this veteran player who lacks firepower at critical moments.

His experience is that he can bring a lot of help to the Lakers, but this kind of help is still important in ordinary games, and when Oscar needs to play, the biggest limit of strength will affect what positive role he can play for the team's victory.

If it were a team with a traditional style of play, Oscar would indeed be a qualified starting point guard, but in a team like the Lakers, which emphasizes fast-paced and output, his presence will slow down the pace of the game a lot of the time.

That's why, in the final moments of the San Antonio Spurs, WACKER made a bold change to put Robert back in the No. 1 position.

They don't need to think about Oscar's idea, because on the basketball court is a world where strength is the most important. Robert showed enough lethality when he led the team, and even Oscar, who followed the team to a super winning streak, couldn't find the slightest complaint to stop him from stealing his starting position.

In pre-season, Valanda had already proven herself to outperform Oscar in all aspects. As the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a wave is stronger than a wave!

Just like what Valanda did, Robert just proved it all over again.

Although attacking in the first time, Robert clearly didn't put out his best performance. But in the face of this man's half-court pressing defense, he can be regarded as much more comfortable.

Robert's ball-handling ability is not bad, and the Lakers' formation is very flexible. No matter how much Valanda bites Robert, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, there is still no way to complete the steal.

Zhang Yi waited to respond, and he was strong in that even in the face of defense, he could flexibly get rid of and then catch the ball.

No matter what kind of defense he encounters, Zhang Yi can also find an opportunity to shoot. So it's easy for the point guard to work with him.

Not to mention that Robert and he have been cooperating for more than a year, and the tacit understanding between the two has long been like a perfect realm.

If it weren't for the Lakers' desire to play something else with Robert right now, it would put him under a bit of pressure for a different kind of play. Then he would have played a good match with Zhang Yi.

This ball was defended by Valanda, and Zhang Yi and the Lakers' quarterback played a cross switch.

At this time, the defensive focus of the Nets is of course on Zhang Yi, after all, if there is no bag for him, then this man is likely to ask the defender to score under the basket in an instant after receiving the ball.

However, the Lakers' quarterback is also a scoring master, and if Zhang Yi hadn't attracted the defense, then his offensive power might not have been developed.

Now, as soon as the defender in front of him takes his attention away, Robert immediately starts to break through Valanda, and then uses the crowd to cover the ball to the outside quarterback.

The latter took advantage of the half-open opportunity to shoot directly, and by the time the defender pounced on it, it was already too late.

The Lakers played a pass-and-cut tactic and managed to get a three-pointer back. It's just that the current Nets team won't continue to make such defensive mistakes.

Robert and his teammates high-fived, and some of the pressure on him was finally lifted.

Wacker nodded at his performance. Because some point guards are born without a special physical advantage, they can also assist and attack through rhythm.

What's more, Robert's physical gifts are definitely outstanding at the back position. Wacker trained him in this way, and did not let him take the initiative to find Zhang Yi, also in order to continue to develop his ability.

Robert can't rely too much on his teammates now because he's a point guard. The point of doing this is to be able to create opportunities for them, whether they start with the main team or rotate off the bench.

Whether it's Zhang Yi or Wali, such teammates who have already developed routines with him, of course he can't take the initiative to rely on such points now.

Only by constantly developing assists and new routines can he make every breakthrough or feint a lethal threat.

As the saying goes, every good point guard should be Osker. It's not that they should fake falls, but every movement and even every expression of their body should be able to make their opponents panic and make mistakes.

Whether it's Robert or the veteran Oscar, none of them have developed such abilities right now.

Oscar's entire career may not have reached that level of brilliance, but Robert is still young and he has plenty of time to hone his skills.

The current Lakers can lose, and even let him hold the normal game to exercise his ability.

This kind of opportunity is absolutely precious for a player who hasn't made a name for himself. But many people can't seize the opportunity just like that.

Robert's final success can only depend on his own creation, after all, whether it is the NBA or the basketball world, the speed of competition and elimination is still fast.

A player who doesn't play particularly well in the second position is particularly likely to be replaced by a younger, more aggressive player. But a good No. 1 position, whether it can attack, or be able to organize, or even just defend.

It's easier for them to get their place in the league. Everything about WACKER is for Robert's future, and Robert himself knows this best.
