Chapter 307: Getting into Trouble on Defense
Originally, it seemed to everyone that it would be a one-sided game, but it was forced by Valanda's magical assist to bring the two teams back to the same running line.
If the Magic Johnson of the year did not experience the rookie wall, he directly became a superstar. So now it's happening to Valanda as well.
is different from Zhang Yi's expectations. Although he led the Duke Blues to dominate the NCAA for two years in college, it is clear that the memory will only focus on the final result.
If Valanda had entered the draft after winning the championship, or even if he had been a year earlier, he would have been a proper No. 1 pick, and many teams would have won his head in order to compete for him.
Missed the best time to log in, and if it weren't for the fact that the Washington Wizards' No. 1 spot was unplayable, or maybe even missed out on Valanda to pick the Memphis Tigers' leading point guard, Sean.
The strength of these two people can be regarded as their own merits, but Sean's name is even a little bigger than that of Valanda. Because people think that the overall quality of the Blue Devils' five Tigers is better than that of the Tigers, the domination of the NCAA is not entirely the credit of Valanda alone.
Losers are more likely to win the support of pity. Although it may be an insult to Sean. It's also not fair to Valanda. The current strength proves that in addition to Zhang Yi, Valanda is another superstar of the golden generation.
Cosma, who defended Zhang Yi in the opposite position, actually has some strength, but it has not been well developed. I want to be a golden boy who debuted, didn't go through the NCAA, and entered the league as soon as he graduated from high school.
Almost all of the players who made it to the NBA before made a name for themselves. But Cosma seems to be an exception. He played five seasons with the Wizards, although his stats improved every year. However, in his peak season, he was just an average starter who averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
It's also a long way from being a star, but now it's a trip to Varanda. It's not just pitcher Nopton who has career hope.
At 2.05 meters, but with a weight of 105 kilograms, Cosma can now even fall into the center of the low post. And because he was born to play as a small forward, or even a scoring guard, his speed and agility are not lost to small men at all.
After his apparent size, there is also some hope for his defense. After all, having this weight and speed is an absolute nightmare for an opposing small forward.
But Cosma's defensive attitude has always been so problematic that his good size advantage has always been a hole in the Wizards' defense.
After Valanda entered the team and made it clear that he wanted to lead the Wizards to the playoffs, he even meant to lead the team to rise quickly. Cosma's defensive attitude showed a 180-degree shift after being beaten by newcomer Valanda in one-on-one training!
Although the first attack in the opening game was deceived by Zhang Yi with rhythm, it was played into one. But Cosma is by no means the much-criticized defensive colander of the year. And he is actually very competitive, and when he encounters a genius who is bent on being rotten, it is fate that he will not be famous in the first few years of his career.
Now, in addition to becoming a flexible weapon under the basket, what he has to do is to press Zhang Yi, who is known as Curry Jr.'s successor, to death on the outside!
When Zhang Yi was taken to the outside by Cosma and then blocked, the latter immediately received a pass from Valanda and hit a jump shot in the face of Vale, who was on the back guard.
It's not so much that Valanda can turn decay into magic, but rather that natural leadership can make these players who have long been slippery obey.
Although Cosma had three points in the past, his ability to attack with the frame was not very strong. In addition, he always likes to grab space under the basket and play with his back to his back. This made the Wizards' interior No. 4 and No. 5 actually very unhappy.
After Valanda adjusted his defensive style, Cosma took the advice and started practicing his mid-range shots. Although he has been in the league for five years, he is actually only 22 years old now, and he has not yet reached the time when the technology is finalized, so some problems are easy to correct.
When Zhang Yi attacked one-on-one with the ball, the first thought in Kasma's mind in the face of such a situation was to pass through speed in one step. When he started, he didn't expect this somewhat obese guy to be very flexible in addition to the card position, and the speed of replenishment and defense was also very fast!
Zhang Yi took a step and found that he didn't get rid of Cosma. And his thoughts seemed to be seen through by Nopton, who came to make up for the defense, and the two defenders immediately sandwiched him in the middle......
Although he didn't lose the ball immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and Cosma's big hand covered the ball. Zhang Yi immediately fell to the ground in order to regain control of the ball, and the other two pounced directly.
The referee blows the whistle and awards a scrum. This is only the third round of the opening, which shows the intensity of the game. Zhang Yi's height and weight are superior to Cosma, so he easily scrums down.
However, he originally wanted to give it to Robert, but when the basketball just flew to the opponent, Valanda blocked the ball with a wave of his hand, and as soon as he made a steal, the Wizards immediately switched offense!
Nopton was originally a fast-footed runner with a fate, and he ran as fast as the average national team sprinter. Varanda also dribbles and rushes. At this time, Zhang Yi overtook from the side at full speed and was ready to scramble, but as soon as he made a move, Valanda instantly gave a long transfer to the quarterback in the front court.
Robert, who was waiting to catch the ball, didn't run at all, and the unguarded Nopton flew and scored a violent dunk! And after landing, he opened his hands to let the scene react.
The Wizards' home fans were waiting for this moment. Although everyone says how strong the Los Angeles Lakers are this year, they may be the biggest dark horse this year with Valanda.
Seeing this, Wacker called a timeout. Their offense can no longer continue to simply use Zhang Yi's singles and the rest of the people to play without the ball.
It's not that Cosma's defense is really strong, but it's obvious that the opponent is holding Zhang Yi to play. Just look at Nopton's unhesitating defense.
And although Zhang Yi can respond, his speed of the ball is not a defender after all. The threat of one-handed ball is still almost there. That's why Wizard knows that Zhang Yi will most likely choose to be the endpoint himself, so that he can be so unhesitating.
Coupled with the point guard position, Valanda's opponent Oscar now seems to be completely suppressed. The most important positions are difficult to play, the No. 1 and No. 3 positions. The Los Angeles Lakers are going to have a tough game.
"It's so unexpected, I didn't expect Washington to be a big problem." Wacker complained in his heart after asking his players to change their style of play. And he's not the only one who thinks so, the first three teams that fell to the Wizards all think so!
