Chapter 387: The Simpkins' Status

No matter how WACKER reminds Zhang Yi, the factor of basketball players' belief will only affect part of it, and the dominant factor that can account for victory or defeat is strength.

The strength of the San Antonio Spurs is not reflected in the strength of Simpkins personally, although it is undeniable that his individual ability has led the team's defense and offense.

But there's no denying that every position on the Spurs team is tightly snapped together like a cog, and that's the real reason why they're strong.

And this is the 25th game of the Spurs lineup, and God knows what kind of chemistry will happen when they bring each other out at their best.

At least now people see that they are in an almost perfect state. Although there is no absolute height on the inside, no one will underestimate this Hook, who has always been full of energy.

Comparatively, the Spurs are not a typical five-man lineup, after all, their main tactic is not to play fast. This is not quite the same as the common tactics today.

Of course, they can also play quick counter-attacks or quick attacks that work well. But unless it is an absolutely safe fast break opportunity, Raj, as the core of the ball, will lead the team to play fast.

This in itself is also an effective way to improve offensive efficiency. Too many teams are obsessed with fast attacks, which also means that quick counter-attacks are emerging.

People never know who is the dominant offense, because for a long time, NBA teams switched offense and defense so quickly that the game looked good when it was good, and when there was a problem with shooting percentage, the scene would take on a 180-degree turn.

The Spurs have never liked three-pointers, and that's pretty much written in their history. Although no one can relax the outside level of today's double guns.

The significance of Simpkins' existence as a stable core is to keep the team running at the right level. This is the core of the Spurs system.

Even if you don't see Simpkins scoring like crazy, or shame the opponent's offense again and again. But the Spurs are his team, which is even more obvious than the Warriors' reliance on Curry Jr. and the Lakers' reliance on Zhang Yi!

It's rare to have a team that relies so much on a particular star in the current game, because the standard is generally rising. A star's inaccuracy sometimes doesn't affect the bigger picture.

It's also a long time since the NBA evaluated strong teams. But Simpkins' impact on Spurs doesn't stop there.

When he's not on the court, the Spurs can continue to win, but not in a way they're used to.

Suffice it to say, the Spurs without Simpkins are still a strong team, but he is not a Spurs!

There may not be a second player in the league who can do this to a team. In this regard, of course, Zhang Yi also saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

If Curry Jr. is an existence he may always look up to, after all, it may take decades for a player who can get close to the basketball god to produce such a player.

No matter how confident Zhang Yi is, he will not feel that he can one day completely dominate the league like Curry Jr. Even if other stars huddle to stop the Warriors, they can't win any championships.

But in Zhang's view, Simpkins is indeed a goal he can achieve. This man is admired and admired by Zhang Yi in many places.

He is not a high-profile person himself, which is very similar to Simpkins. How to be like him, even if he may be the most low-key star of the team, but still undoubtedly influence the team.

Zhang Yi can not improve his skills for the time being, because he has now coped with most of the games and the provocation of his opponents.

These are also things that Wang Lung and Wacker have laid the foundation for Zhang Yi for so many years. But now he has to get to grips with the team.

Just like the Simpkins did. The current Lakers are not aiming to replace the Warriors, because such an assumption is too arrogant.

A team that has won the championship five times in the finals is so simple that it can be surpassed. The San Antonio Spurs, in turn, are the opponents that the Lakers can learn from and challenge.

Because in any case, with the retirement of Curry Jr., the era of the Warriors will eventually pass.

However, just like the Chicago Bulls dynasty back then, it was the San Antonio Spurs who accepted it. And the next Lakers dynasty was also won after the victory over the Spurs.

Both historically and from the rise of the squad this season. The Lakers aren't the strongest team, the San Antonio Spurs are!

And their record is already very good, with just four defeats so far, and all four of them have been focused on the team's squad adjustments.

Spurs haven't lost a single game since they started this set. As long as they can win against the Lakers again, then their perfect lineup will prove once again.

Now that the game is restarting, the Lakers don't seem to have much of a problem offensively. Both Zhang Yi and Robert are actively looking for opportunities to attack the frame.

But in fact, they don't play the tactics they are usually good at. Zhang Yi was forced to the outside by Simpkins. Three points is not his regular weapon, and what is even more deadly is that Zhang Yi has now almost been kicked out of the Lakers' tactical system.

Someone else's ball can't be passed into his hand. If he has the ball, he can't create opportunities for others through the breakaway shots that he is good at, and that's the effect of the Simpkins defense.

Not to mention Robert, who has turned into a catch-and-shoot pitcher, although he has a one-handed breakthrough. But that doesn't mean he can have an effect under the Spurs' basket with the ball.

After all, the opponent is not just a strong team on the outside, and the reason why we have made a five-small lineup with an average height is to get an absolute opposition advantage in every position.

For example, now Robert is an example, in addition to his tall height and fast speed, the most obvious feature of defending him is his quick reaction!

Golf quotient is also a common trait among Spurs' players, and God knows how they found this when they picked them. This is also something that other teams do not envy.

No matter how Robert runs, he wants to move to the perimeter for a familiar three-point shot. The final result was pulled to the basket by Felton, because in the Lakers' tactical system, strong three-point shooting is the biggest problem.

Robert couldn't have challenged Wacker's tactics and rules, so he wanted to keep the team's offense from stalling. He can only play the duty of a quarterback and force a breakthrough to score!

It's just that his physical condition was good in the previous NCAA, but when it comes to the NBA, it can only be said to be average.

Felton couldn't defend it alone, and coupled with Hook's help under the basket, it directly killed Robert's offense. At this point, the Lakers' offense still came to a standstill!
