Valanda's defense is not top-notch, but his ball quotient helps him anticipate a lot of opponents' moves.

For the matchup in the No. 1 position, the ability to anticipate is always crucial. If it weren't for the fact that Robert seems to be playing a different game than he did in the NCAA, then Valanda has absolute confidence that he can form an effective defense against him.

But strong players are never static. Varanda can adjust his defensive intensity, and that's where the opponent is most confused.

This time, the Nets played a smooth offense again, and the Lakers' defense didn't have many chances at all.

In particular, the No. 2 position, which is good at attacking, is taken care of by the opponent. And Zhang Yi's point is often pulled by opponents near the outside line.

Because the Nets are circulating very fast, Zhang Yi has no way to participate in defense at all.

Robert was already struggling to face Valanda's attack alone, and now he has to care about the second position, which is often thrown off by opponents, and he is even more lacking.

The reason why the Lakers' defense has performed well in the first few games is actually that the defensive ability of the five positions is very average.

Whether it is Oscar, Robert, Zhang Yi and others to deal with the first, second, and third positions on the opposite side, they at least have an advantage in size.

But the current No. 2 position is not only a little less in shape, but also not very good in terms of movement speed and defensive awareness. His strength is offense, and his only specialty is offense.

This is actually the same as many bench gangsters in the league, these people are not saying that they can't become superstars, but they lack overall ability.

Either there is no offense or there is no defense. Regardless of the type of player, at least at some stage can make an important difference. But if the team needs to change the roster, they can't do much.

A very important sign of the strength of the starter is to have a unified offensive and defensive ability, even if everything can only be of average level.

But it should also be far better than the corresponding weaknesses of the substitutes. The Lakers' current lineup is clearly betting on offense and then defending.

The Nets' team brain, Valanda, of course, will focus on attacking the opponent's obvious weaknesses. And his technique is very clever, and he has never been a clear point of playing the second position.

Instead, they pass the ball through a series of passes, and then make the opponent's defense porous enough to maximize the team's offensive benefit.

Being a point guard certainly allows the team to score three points, and will never let them score two points. If you can kill under the basket, you will never use shooting to solve the problem.

Because the victory of a game is accumulated by one goal and one point at a time. A good point guard must always be careful not to waste opportunities.

When the Lakers' offense shrinks due to Valranda's breakaway, others may be able to defend themselves when they come in, but not at the No. 2 position.

He doesn't move fast enough, so he always gives his opponent a chance to run out of open space. Only then will Valanda choose to pass.

And when this opportunity arises, the Lakers are already powerless to make up for the defense, and can only pray that the opponent's No. 2 Morris feels bad......

Three points again! The Lakers' hard-to-get offensive play was strangled in the cradle by the Nets.

In order to improve his defense, Wacker naturally had to replace the No. 2 position and replace it with a player who was relatively good defensively. But the problem came again, Robert lost the opportunity to play the ball for the No. 2 player, so his choice could only become to play with Zhang Yi.

That was something Wacker didn't want to see, but the Nets didn't give the Lakers a chance to try out a new lineup.

Valanda's ability to control the field is that he can attack opponents' weaknesses infinitely. If the opponent does not adjust, he will target and kill the opponent infinitely.

That's how the head coach of the team that reacted too slowly lost at the hands of the Nets. Wacker reacted quickly, but the corresponding attack cost was another broken arm.

Robert has a strong offensive ability, which is also his strong point. Even though he is a point guard now, he still has the power to fire.

And Wacker is not such a dead-eyed manager, in his opinion, as long as it is a stable output, whether it is a number one position or a number four position, as long as you have the ability to play like this.

Robert was still hesitant in the face of Valanda's defense, but now there is one less player who can play with him, and now he can only attack by himself!

I saw him holding the ball and trying to shake it past Valanda. The opponent's defensive breakthrough ability is not very strong, and they will not waste all their physical energy chasing an opponent who is bound to pass the ball.

But he was wrong to think so, because Robert has an absolute finishing ability under the basket.

It can even be said that in this Lakers team, his face frame offensive ability is definitely not lost to Zhang Yi, and he is a great weapon for the Lakers' offense.

Because Zhang Yi was ambushed outside the three-point line at the moment, Valanda thought that when Robert shook himself and attracted the defense, he would pretend to attack and then pass outside the three-point line for Zhang Yi to shoot three points.

But he thought too much, Robert was not Valanda herself. He didn't have the idea of maximizing the offense in every turn, because as long as he could score!

Even what Robert hates most is that the basketball can be put in the hoop right away, but he has to take it out and pass it to someone in the bottom corner.

What if you don't enter? Robert is not a point guard, believing that every teammate can shoot a three-pointer at a good opportunity. If he doesn't have an absolute offensive grasp of this ball, he will give the ball to his teammates who have better chances.

But now that he's managed to get to the basket, who better can get the ball in than himself.

Two points are under three at all times, but the chances that Robert can't grasp are like zero. Two points greater than zero is fine!

This is of course typical of the quarterback mentality, and although he is playing point guard, Robert still hasn't changed his style. So after seeing his style of play, Valanda couldn't help but laugh.

Because standing in front of him is not the so-called dual-energy guard at all, this guy is a quarterback in his bones, and he has always been!

Zhang Yi and Robert high-fived, and he also knew his brother's personality very well, so he was just to cover Robert outside the three-point line.

Being able to attract the defense is also the best off-ball performance at the core of the team. Head coach Wacker has said that this game will focus on Robert, but this does not mean that Zhang Yi does not have the opportunity to show himself.

On the contrary, the hardest thing to play on the basketball court is without the ball. Because this means that they have 10,000 possibilities to affect the outcome of the attack, and Zhang Yi's performance is a good interpretation of this!
