Chapter 334: Next Battle Phoenix Suns
Robert, of course, was unceremonious when he saw that the other party was deliberately giving away the head lineup. In the absence of Zhang Yi, the team's offense is definitely his dominance.
Although Robert does not have unlimited firing power like Zhang Yi, when playing defensive counterattacks, he has a speed advantage and can always run to the best shooting position, so he naturally gets more points.
Watching this bench beat the Jazz's aging lineup without a backhand, Wacker was not happy at all, because in his opinion, even if he defeated such an opponent, there was no room for joy at all.
These people are a complete blasphemy against professionalism. Obviously, they can play a more fluid defense, and the Lakers' lineup can use the Jazz's existing players to come up with targeted defense, but they chose to surrender directly.
Zhang Yi was bored and drowsy in the end, and the opponent he had always expected in the NBA was not such a weak existence. Whether it's the Jazz or all the bad teams you've met before.
Of course, the Lakers also used a long-term swing to achieve the first position in the league today, all by relying on super rookies. But that's not the crux of the problem, too many teams now give up their records and choose so-called gambling in order to get the top pick, and then see that they have no hope of winning the championship......
Of course, the Lakers succeeded, but if there was any other choice, they would never choose the most shameful path with a history of giants.
Before the game was over, Robert scored 12 points quickly and pulled the difference to a point where he couldn't catch it up. Because once the opponent picks up the speed, Adams' original advantage will become a disadvantage.
Amid the boos of the fans for the home team, the Jazz finally replaced the main players and announced their surrender in advance. Of course, the Lakers will not rush to the end, and immediately put Robert on the bench.
The game ended in a pair of rookies pecking at each other. Except for Adams, who scored a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds with an efficient play in the third quarter, none of the so-called Jazz Big Four scored in double figures.
It can be seen that their offense was completely contained by the Lakers, and when there was no main force, Adams interfered with the play of others because he occupied the ball too much.
They could have learned from those games and improved themselves, but the Jazz opted for a simpler and more brutal approach of tearing down and rebuilding.
Not only is it irresponsible to the team, but it is a desecration of the support of the fans. They have seen the home fans turn their backs and still haven't learned their lesson.
In Zhang Yi's view, not only this game, but the Jazz team has finished this season, without home fans so far, without attendance, all of them will be finished.
The world of basketball is never about players playing well. They have to cater to the audience's preferences in the first place. If you like three-pointers, then the league has to find the best shooters who like dunks, and good dunks will quickly become famous.
This is the Business League, and the Jazz are joking with the future of the team. It's just that these high-level managers have been running the team for so many years, and it's really a pity to make such a stupid decision.
With a big win and a statistic that looks good without much effort, the Lakers will leave Salt Lake City with ease.
They continue to extend their winning streak. And the next opponent is not very strong, which means that in the next time against the Golden State Warriors, this game that everyone thinks is the prediction of the Western Conference Finals, everyone in the Lakers still has a chance to rest.
Of course, Wacker had already planned for a long time, but the Jazz were a bit of a surprise to him. Originally, I thought it would be a vicious battle, but this is really looking down on them.
The next game is the Suns in the West. The opponents are no longer among the contenders for the playoffs, so it doesn't take much trouble to get the win in theory.
With a wave of his hand, Wacker took turns resting Zhang Yi and Robert. Because the Suns also play fast-paced bombardment tactics, of course, their quality is still much worse than that of the Lakers, so he wants to use Wall-E to contain the opponent with a defensive army.
Although I don't know how effective it is, Vali is also a slow interior line, and even if they focus on defense, they will not be counterattacked and no one can catch up with the defense.
The Lakers now have the main players involved in the rotation, so they can come up with several sets of good rotation lineups, which is also the root of their strength.
Whether it's Zhang Yi, Robert and Vali, the three of them can each lead the team, and their styles are different. This will test the adaptability of the substitute lineup, and now it seems that Gianna's vision is still very accurate, and the people he chooses are at least very high.
Flying to Phoenix, Phoenix has a glorious history, but they are also one of the cities that have no championship life. Although there have been many stars, this team will always encounter a sad fate.
The same is true now, they never intended to mess up. It's just that the team's most important scorer, Riley, who averaged 28 points per game and nearly 10 assists at his peak, has not been on the court for a year with an Achilles tendon injury.
This happens all the time with the Suns, and Riley was injured in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Warriors.
In fact, he had already had Achilles tendon pain in previous matches, but in order to be able to lead the team through the defending champion and make history for them, he paid a huge price in the end.
Phoenix fans see him as a hero, but whether it's worth it or not is now disagreed. Because you risk ruining your career for a game? It's not as simple as a child's house.
Lacking the team's top scorer, although their offense is a defensive counterattack, they actually have no soul and limited attacking power.
And their biggest problem is that they can play very fast, but the corresponding mistakes can't be controlled. Unlike the Lakers, who have an experienced point guard like Oscar.
The current Suns' main point guard is a sophomore Murray, his strength can really only be regarded as average, and he has no star appearance, if it weren't for the Suns' overstretched guard line, he wouldn't have considered being promoted to the starting line.
The only good news is that this Murray is still playing more seriously, and his level has also improved greatly from one mistake after another.
The Suns are now resigned to their fate, and they are willing to see Murray's improvement so that the team can at least have two guns at their disposal after Riley's return......
