Zhang Yi, who incarnated as the No. 2 position, did not lose his defensive skills, even if his style of play was more inclined to a striker. But this does not affect him to complete the restrictions on the opponent's star quarterback Donde.

A player known for his speed and agility can easily lose his sense of ability, and it's not a good thing that he scores too easily.

Because when the talent can't crush the opponent, Don De can't find any way to solve his scoring problem. For example, facing Zhang Yi now.

Height, arm span, speed, strength, several qualities, Zhang Yi is far stronger than his opponent, this is the trouble for the Trail Blazers' star guards. He had no other means of scoring than to break through for a while.

After another failed attempt, he didn't continue stupidly, but a naïve self who only needed to add some feints and even a simple speed up to avoid the opponent's defense.

Of course, Zhang Yi will not let him score so easily, because he was sent to the quarterback position by Wacker for more than just to attack.

Crushing opponents through defense is what the Lakers are aiming at right now. Robert needed a template, not that he should play like Zhang Yi on the court.

It's that he should at least defend like Zhang Yi, he obviously has this talent. After all, Donde's physical fitness in front of Robert may not have any advantage.

But if it's defensive quality, Zhang Yi is not just a street. It's not like Robert didn't train in basketball since he was a kid.

On the contrary, although it is not as direct as Wang Lung's own teaching. But Robert has always been a basketball prodigy, and he hasn't strayed from basketball since he was a kid, so it's clear that he should be more well-rounded.

He has always used offense to speak too casually, just like Tang De obviously has such a strong speed advantage, but he doesn't apply it to defense.

The two of them are the same in a way, they don't use their basketball talents correctly, and their style is more casual.

Although Robert has been much more restrained than when he was in college, it is entirely because he is by Zhang Yi's side. If not, God knows what he's going to be down to now.

That's what the Lakers have been worried about all along, never Robert's potential. It's a skepticism about his self-control and effort.

Now he has a direction in his heart, and Zhang Yi can still lead him to grow. But counting on others to oversee and influence? This will only be temporary, and it is impossible for brothers to play basketball for a lifetime.

The Lakers are obviously going to dump Robert while he's still valuable, because if you look at historical experience, people like him who can't change themselves will quickly have problems.

Wacker is also giving him a hint now to make Robert himself understand that no one is going to wait for him to grow passively. Defending this is a must-have quality for a basketball player.

No matter how strong your scoring ability is, you can't waste it. Even if a player's offense can be almost bad, it doesn't have much impact on the game.

Especially with the Lakers, there is no shortage of offensive powerhouses right now. If Robert is still improving slowly, although it is better than many people who can't change in a lifetime, the team can't wait that long.

Now letting Zhang Yi play the No. 2 position is just the beginning, if a more suitable player is replaced, then Robert's status as the main player is officially lost.

Don can always play as a regular playoff team with the Trail Blazers, and that's because the team has always been a standard playoff team, and they've had similar records every year.

And in order to increase their popularity, they must have a scorer in their team. It's not the same as the Lakers.

After all, Staples Arena doesn't need advertising at all to attract countless fans to show up for it. Coupled with Zhang Yi's current popularity, they don't need to make a fuss about the competition at all.

Not to mention that the current Lakers have only one goal, and that is to win the championship. If it weren't for the fact that they still lack championship temperament, it's about defensive ability.

Any team that wants to win a championship must first improve their defensive capabilities. As the saying goes, defending the champion is true in any era.

Whether it's Robert or Vali, the problem is that they don't have the determination to challenge for the championship yet. If they can't change their mentality and force themselves to improve their strength, then they can only dream about the achievements in the future.

When Zhang Yi was about to come out of the shadow in Tang Defang's heart, Wacker waved his hand and replaced Robert on the field. The reason why he chose this time point is also to hope that this child will go on the court to experience the changes brought by defense.

Of course, the Trail Blazers will not give up on Donde easily, especially since this guy is like a bulldog who will never give up attacking.

This is not allowed in a team that values efficiency. But not in a team like the Trail Blazers, which is weak offensively and strong defensively.

Not to mention that their performances have been consistent, which proves that Donde's offense is not without effect. After his frantic breakaway, the opponent's defensive formation is bound to shrink. Otherwise, he can only be beaten up.

This is a multiple-choice question, and if he makes adjustments alone, then the rest of the Trailblazers can be activated smoothly.

It's different from Sean to the Hornets, but the meaning is pretty much the same. It's just that the players around Sean are really poor, and there are many stable offensive masters among Donde's teammates.

The reason why the Trail Blazers' offense is relatively weak is also because their abilities are basically based on fixed-point shooters. Without an impactful core, it's hard for them to make a formal threat.

Coupled with Grant, an efficient player who can assist Donde, the Trail Blazers' lineup is actually very complete. What they lack is only a number three with finishing ability.

That's why when Zhang Yi was about to enter the league, the top management of the Trail Blazers team immediately regarded him as a player who had to compete for him.

Although after being finally acquired by the Lakers, they made several contacts, and even mentioned such tempting conditions as sending two guns together. But the same was rejected.

That's why. The Trail Blazers players actually had a grudge when they played the Lakers. On the one hand, they don't understand where Zhang Yi is good, and on the other hand, they are not convinced, why a fish belly team suddenly became a strong team in the league, this kind of thing will be criticized at any time.

It was only when Robert came on the pitch that Donde knew his chance had come. Although he doesn't have any advantage in front of this person, his defense is much worse than Zhang Yi......
