The Spurs' defense is not afraid of three-point forces, and on the contrary, if only the team with a dominant outside line will not be able to pose much threat in front of them.

It's not just the Simpkins who have top-tier perimeter defense, the Spurs now have a high level of defense at all four positions.

Coupled with the fact that their height generally dominates in the matchup, there are few other teams in the league that can shake the Spurs.

The Lakers were able to shoot a three-pointer and it was not the beginning of a comeback, because the opponent was very adaptable. And so far, they have only adopted the tactic of putting Simpkins and putting others in it.

And if they want to recover the score, they can only let Simpkins play inside the three-point line, otherwise the three-point shot of the 'mechanical killer' is also fatal.

This shot was also after the cross-switch, and the Spurs still didn't have any chances on the outside. Zhang Yi is not simply changing to mark, he is now using his own defense to exchange for the opponent's mistakes.

Raj's overall vision is not outstanding, which also led him to be promoted from the No. 1 to the No. 2 and No. 3 positions when he played for the Celtics. It wasn't until he was with the Spurs that he returned to point guard.

While his scoring ability and defense are excellent, that can't hide the shortcomings of not being a good point guard. This goal is also an opportunity to find a position other than Simpkins.

Even though it was clear that the Lakers were defending themselves and letting go of Simpkins, he still naively thought he could find opportunities for his teammates......

It's just that when he passed the ball, he didn't notice that Zhang Yi had moved in advance to make a steal, and still passed a low flat ball to cut to Felton who was moving to the basket.

"Oops, it's a suicidal pass!" The on-site commentator saw Raj's action, and his first reaction was that the ball had to be broken. Because it is none other than Zhang Yi, who has long hands and long arms, and is quick to react.

Sure enough, as mentioned in the commentary, the suicidal pass was indeed completed by Zhang Yi, who pounced in the middle, in an instant. And as soon as he got the ball, he turned and rushed to the front.

The Lakers' counterattacks are always lightning fast and deadly. It's better for your opponent not to let them play like that, or you'll soon learn what it's like to lose.

The same is true for this ball, Zhang Yi rushed forward quickly, even if Raj is the No. 1 position, but if it is a simple fight for speed and explosiveness, he is far inferior to Zhang Yi.

In the blink of an eye, in the exclamation of the audience, Zhang Yi was like a god, striding into the basket, and then flew up from the oblique side, and his body glided in the air to score 2 points!

The only defender who caught up behind him was Raj, who made a mistake, but he really had nothing to do in the face of an opponent with two legs like a motor.

If it weren't for Zhang Yi's defense, this Spurs would have played into an air-cut tactic in other positions. If the Lakers' defensive intensity is almost equal to zero, it is really the reality.

There are only two possibilities for these people to be put together, either they are crying on the other side, or they are being beaten and cried by the other side!

Now a three-pointer plus a defensive counterattack dunk score, the situation is gradually tilting on the Lakers' side. It's just that Spurs haven't had a real problem yet.

At least now Simpkins got his chance back and scored on a turnaround jumper again. His mid-range is arguably the most consistent benchmark among active players.

I think he was even selected by the league as a shooting template in a promotional video because of his action standards. This was when Simpkins was in his first year of debut.

No one expected that Simpkins, who might have become a pure pitcher, would grow into the league's most offensive and defensive super all-round player.

The Lakers continue to play a fluid offense. Although it was not a three-point shot this time, it caused a defensive foul on the Spurs, and three free throws were hit, and the difference was further narrowed.

The Spurs called a timeout after the goal. In fact, the problem does not arise on defense, and this Lakers team is really strong offensively. It's just that their biggest problem is that they don't play the offense that they are good at.

Raj's mistakes are a clear example of this, when the opponent's defensive intensity is not high, this is the time for them to play the offensive state, if they blindly rely on Simpkins' individual ability, once his offense is dumb, the entire Spurs' offense is over.

Because Simpkins also found a problem, and that is that the Lakers still have a hidden advantage. That's the rebounding ability of the inside Wali!

A team that doesn't defend well won't be able to play at all if they don't have rim players. The reason why WACKER dared to deploy such a few defensive colanders was because he believed in WALL-E's ability to protect the frame.

The Spurs are also aware of the problem. In any case, they are also a team that relies on secondary offense, and losing rebounds is not a favorable situation.

So after returning to the court, they also switched back to high school forwards to increase their offensive ability and rebounding ability under the basket.

Since the opponent changed the lineup, Wacker naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately replaced the power forward position with a blue-collar player who is not low in height and has a certain ability to impact the basket.

This change of formation is also a test of the players' ability to understand the game. It's just that the point guard on the Spurs' side has not changed, which means that change is not his strong point.

The first offense after the pause, he habitually hit Simpkins. Because in his opinion, if he passes it on to others, he is likely to become a sinner again and then be robbed by Zhang Yi.

That's a stupid idea in a super team. But Raj is a player with very clear strengths and weaknesses in talent.

If it weren't for the fact that Spurs needed his defensive ability, it would have been possible to put him in the forward position. Now, although he has tried his best to give full play to his strengths, the corresponding shortcomings have also been infinitely magnified.

Because it was expected that this attack would also find Simpkins. In the case of the opponent's poor position, Zhang Yi decisively pounced and chose the bag.

No matter how strong Simpkins' personal strength is. But he received the ball at a bad time, or even when he was not ready, and he didn't have a chance to shoot at all.

Zhang Yi and Robert directly bit him to death, and then with the blink of an eye, the opponent immediately reached over to grab the ball.

At this time, the rest of the Spurs came to pick it up, but Zhang Yi and Simpkins had already held the ball at the same time and fell to the ground. Of course, the referee immediately blew the whistle and scramble for the ball!

Simpkins was really going crazy because a second ago he was still signaling Raj to pass to the inside, and then let the center play the game. As a result, the ball was still passed to him in the next second, just ask how good-tempered team boss can bear it with such a point guard!?
