Chapter 360: Top Defense
If Curry Jr.'s defense is a gentleman's skill type, then Zhang Yi's defensive skills learned from Wang Long are tough confrontations. Regardless of whether you can break the ball or not, you must let the opponent know that if you hit him, you will shed a layer of skin.
Now Zhang Yi has an advantage in height and arm span, and Xiao Ku has no good way for him to use the advantage of his speed even if he wants to, because the position that this guy grasps is to follow the ability to prevent throwing and protrusion.
Zhang Yi didn't think that Curry Jr. would pass the ball at all, because he regarded it as a previous goal, and this time the opponent would definitely find the court. Otherwise, the name of the league's top brand would have changed hands long ago.
Without the fear of Curry Jr.'s passing, it's much easier to defend. Of course, this is for the average player, as the most headache for defenders in the league, if you want to select the most difficult player to defend in history, Curry Jr. can definitely be ranked in the top few.
As early as the preseason, Zhang Yi did not defend against his opponent once, and even opened his super traits. Because the opponent has too many offensive means, the opponent can only sigh that he can't defend against it!
Zhang Yi covered his eyes with one hand, and prevented the breakthrough with the other. It's just that Curry Jr. can break through with his left and right hands, and he can shoot basketballs, and his step-back steps, backward jumpers, and various gorgeous breakthrough skill attributes are all full.
When Curry Jr. held the ball and dribbled alternately with his left and right hands, experience told Zhang Yi that he might want to break through. But his feints can be seen everywhere, including his eyes, small movements, and rhythmic dribbling......
Therefore, if you want to defend, he can't take it too seriously, because once he is led by the nose by Curry Jr., the final end can only be despised and shaken as a background board. But you can't be too lax, otherwise you can only watch him score a layup as soon as he really exerts his strength.
Zhang Yi relaxed his nerves, but his body always maintained its best condition. The slack state is what Curry Jr. should look like, and the most basic thing he has done now.
When Curry Jr. looked at McCann under the basket, his body floated to the right, although the amplitude was not large, but it caused Zhang Yi's vigilance, because he was likely to burst out of his right hand, after all, this is the weak side that has no help defense.
Xiao Curry didn't make any moves, but Zhang Yi's center of gravity was already pressed on the right side, ready to defend the right side at any time. At this time, the opponent dribbles forward easily, and changes the left hand to the right hand again, which means that it is really about to break through the right side......
Zhang Yi raised his right arm and was ready to pick up the ball when Curry was about to break through. It's just that when he made up his mind, he didn't know that he had been fooled, only to see Little Curry take a step to the right, but as soon as his footsteps turned, he turned around and walked with his left hand, and the speed was extremely fast, and it could be seen that he had already made this preparation.
Zhang Yi could only scold the damn when he reacted, he was still careless, this little Curry is a master tactician after all, and this also includes his own offensive tactics.
After shaking Zhang Yi, Curry Jr. once again teased the Lakers inside layup to score, and his shot deliberately imitated Zhang Yi's actions in the previous round.
The audience was also stunned, because Xiao Curry's feints didn't seem gorgeous, but being able to deceive Zhang Yi also proved that it was effective.
When he ran past Zhang Yi's side, Xiao Curry deliberately shook his head with an arrogant look, looking at the other party's wry smile, he seemed to enjoy it.
Although he is recognized as the first person in the league, Curry Jr.'s personality is very interesting, like a comedian and does not feel strong at all.
At this point, Zhang Yi is still a little restrained as an Oriental player, and his personality is also the key to being sought after by more fans. Curry Jr.'s current form is where he learns.
No matter what the final result of the game is, being able to play with such a top superstar is more precious than anything else for Zhang Yi, who is in the learning period.
The Lakers' offense, Zhang Yi didn't get the ball yet, and Curry Jr. on the opposite side directly ordered him to one-on-one. In the NBA's regular season, such a direct matchup scene is rare. After all, everyone is still thinking about the tactics of the team, and the one who can play such a willful confrontation is either the two of them are single-core leaders. Either these two are ball tyrants.
Curry Jr. is certainly not the latter, after all, as a point guard, he has turned the Golden State Warriors into the strongest basketball team in the world. He has never been a ball bully in his life.
As for Zhang Yi, although his style of play is more possessive, it does not mean that he does not have assists and make his teammates better. Not only passing the ball and grabbing rebounds, but also his role is reflected in the strategy and secondary organization.
The so-called high ball possession is entirely because when the situation of the game cannot be opened, Zhang Yi is more needed to solve the problem alone. With his current performance, no critic will say that Zhang Yi is a ball bully.
Although neither of them is a single-core team, whether it is the Golden State Warriors or the remaining four members of the Lakers team who are now on the court, although the overall strength is not among the best in the league, if you remove these two cores, you can at least enter the playoffs.
So neither of these cases belongs. Curry Jr. is eyeing Zhang Yi from now on. And there was no warning, and no one knew why he was so obsessed with the recognized successor of the alliance.
The No. 1 position is anti-No. 3, even if the body size is close, it still suffers. And Zhang Yi's single-handedness is not inferior to Curry Jr., plus he has a passing and point guard vision, so it doesn't make much sense to go heads-up like this.
If Curry Jr. puts all his energy on defending Zhang Yi alone, which requires the opponent to want to win rather than accept the challenge, then the overall defense that the Warriors rely on will be self-defeating.
Although Zhang Yi may be better for the result of the game if he passes, but in the face of this opportunity to confront his predecessors, he will still selfishly choose to be tough and not pass the ball, because God knows if there will be such a time in the future.
Zhang Yi held the ball to face Curry Jr.'s defense, this time he didn't choose to play with his back, but as Curry Jr. did just now, try to disrupt the opponent by relying on his body's feints.
It's just that he is not Curry after all, whether it is pretending to pass the ball or shaking his shoulders and moving the center of gravity, he does not interfere with the defender, and Zhang Yi seems to be able to see his true thoughts no matter what opponent he is.
That's what's scary about Curry Jr., defending with his brain rather than judging with his sense. Experience is deceiving a lot of the time, so it's all about the brain, and this kind of defense is the configuration of the top players.
After finding that this kind of feint was useless, Zhang Yi had no choice but to rely on his physical talent to play directly, and what Curry Jr. was waiting for was this moment, when the opponent accelerated and prepared to pass directly, he directly completed the steal with a hand!
The whole action was clean and smooth, and Curry Jr.'s counterattack was like lightning across the entire court to dunk and score, and the duel was won again!
