It's impossible for this ball to be in it without anticipation, because no one can fly over and break the ball so accurately from a step away.

After picking up the ball, Philip did not blindly fast attack, but handed the ball to the point guard and walked forward unhurriedly. It's not that the Pacers don't have a fast break, but the Lakers are probably the best team in the league to defend fast breaks, after all, they have two physically gifted players, Zhang Yi and Robert.

"Damn, it's amazing to be able to train these players like this!" Wacker also had to sigh when he saw this, because in the past, Duncan's strength was more blown by others. But now playing face-to-face as an opponent, Wacker has a more intuitive feeling and a better understanding of Duncan's strength.

Before the Pacers could start their counterattack, the Lakers handed in a timeout. At this time, they need to adjust their tactics according to these rounds.

Rather than having started with both teams testing each other, the Pacers were clearly getting into the groove faster. In particular, their targeted defense of Vali and Robert worked well.

The current Lakers are not afraid of the opponent's targeted defense because of Zhang Yi's presence. Because no matter who it is, it is impossible to completely restrict Zhang Yi, either let him go or let go of the other four.

That being said, the Pacers' defense is a bit weirdly strong, as if no matter what Vali and Robert do, they know it all right.

When the team's offense is in trouble, it's time for the stars to put in a show. Although Wacker handed over the next round of attack to Zhang Yi, there was an idea of falling into a trap in his heart.

But that's how the NBA game behaves, and the value of a star is always reflected in difficult times. If a player can only play tailwind and cannot stand up in a critical moment, then whether he can score 20+ or 30+ in a game, he is not the pillar of the team.

This pause, the Pacers' side is calm, calm and scary. Because often at this time, the manager has to make sure that the players understand their own problems. In addition, the game has just started, and some problems are bound to be exposed, but Duncan seems to be unimpressed.

Are the Pacers really that good? Apparently not! Even if they make fouls and complete steals, and then force the Lakers to call a timeout, they can't always rely on Philip's strength on the offensive side. You must know that his strength is not under the basket, so there is still a problem of how to adjust.

The game restarted, and the Pacers' offense was still point guard over halfcourt, and then directed Phillip to come over and play cross-switching. Robert had already suffered a loss once, going around the front to seal the running route before they could pass the ball.

People feel that among the three heroes of the Brown Bears, Zhang Yi has the best defense, Wali is second, and Robert is the worst. In fact, his basketball experience is no less than Zhang Yi's, just because the offense distracts most of his energy, and the attention of the defense cannot be fully concentrated.

But now, whoever makes him attack and eat deflated, he will make everyone feel equally uncomfortable.

Wacker never treated Robert as a mere offensive knife. The Lakers' offensive core is Zhang Yi at any time, and it is of course a good thing that Robert has offensive ability, but what the team needs most is players who can put more energy into the defensive part.

This game is also an assessment of Robert's future positioning. Of course, Wacker didn't tell him directly that the young man was also ambitious, and if Robert was better suited to play the offensive sixth man based on the judgment of the uniform team, no one could say how hard it would hit him in his rookie season.

Of course, Wacker hopes that this kid will listen to him and focus more on defense, knowing that no matter how strong a quarterback is, it is useless to defend it. Because the No. 2 position doesn't want the No. 1 position, who is not strong in attack among the men in this position? The only way to fight your way out of the encirclement is to keep improving your defense and move towards the top goal of both offense and defense.

Robert's judgment is still very accurate, and the offense of the Pacers is very flexible. It's not that it's enough to block the connection between the two defenders. It can even be said that he went around the front and went along with his opponent's wishes.

The point guard of the Pacers was caught between Oscar and Robert, and then flew into Philip's hand, only to see the 'fast gunner' step back to the three-point line and pull out his hand!

Robert had already turned around quickly and flew to the block, but unfortunately, the opponent's book was really fast. His hand didn't seal in place, and the three-point shot hit!

The Pacers once again easily faced the Lakers' defense, and this was only a small cooperation, which shows the gap between the two teams in terms of tactical literacy.

The Lakers have never been so passive since the start of the season. It's not terrible to fall behind in the score, the key is that the opponent is pressed in one place both offensively and defensively, and the advantage of one area is played to the limit.

Duncan obviously wants to avoid Zhang Yi's intensity, grasping the two major problems of Wale's lack of experience and Robert's poor defensive habits, to infinitely magnify the gap between the two teams.

It doesn't matter if the Pacers have stars or not, this kind of zone offense will always be a numerical advantage, so it doesn't matter what the individual strength of the players is.

Whether it's point guard or point guard Philip, he is not a star in other teams, but they have a lot of characteristics that stars don't have, that is, obedience!

From the timing of dribbling, splitting and shooting, Duncan has thought carefully in practice, including how to deal with unexpected situations on the court.

For him, the game of basketball is also like the next game of chess, and the outcome is already sealed from the beginning. And it's not mysterious at all, it's technology and science!

Robert looked a little frustrated, he didn't know what was wrong with his defense. But why he couldn't even compare to Wall-E, he couldn't figure this out.

In fact, it's not just him, but many basketball players who have played well in the NCAA can't figure it out. In fact, the core of the problem is speed, the NBA's offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency are several times the rhythm of the NCAA, and Robert has time to adjust his weight in the slow-paced game.

But in the NBA, there simply isn't that much time for you to think about so many things. This will leave many players in a situation where they cannot match the intensity of the professional league.

Robert's physical gifts are top-notch, and it's impossible for him to not be able to keep up with the pace of the game right now, but to put it mildly, it's the root of his problem. The so-called rookie wall is basically this problem, and he is slowly moving towards this stage now, especially when he is separated from Zhang Yi.
