Chapter 392: Strength Ceiling

The Spurs' offense has a new tactic, and the Lakers are in trouble again. And in the following rounds, the quality of the opponent's defense was better, which made the difference wider.

By halftime, the Lakers, who had already won their second straight game of the season, were already trailing by 14 points. It was also the biggest margin of their half-time deficit this year.

"Spurs are really strong, and you can't admit it. In particular, Simpkins led their offense and defense. Raj simply made adjustments, and the Lakers' defense immediately failed! ”

The on-site commentary also said the same. Although the Lakers are also very strong, otherwise how could they get such a terrifying winning rate, but in comparison, the overall strength is still the advantage of the Spurs.

At halftime, Zhang Yi rarely didn't listen to Wacker and still covered his face with a wet towel.

has been playing against Simpkins for so long, even if Zhang Yi has no problems on the surface, his body is really tired. He is not the kind of physique that sweats easily, which also makes the accumulated pressure in his body not so easy to release.

Wacker saw that he had no choice but to let Zhang Yi rest more in the second half. And he is tired like this, and the Simpkins who has a lot of offense and defense on the opposite side must be even more so.

It's just that he underestimated Simpkins a little. The reason why this guy is called 'mechanical killer' is simply because the audience doesn't think he's going to get tired after a game.

After all, at their peak, when the Spurs lacked personnel rotation and played key battles, Simpkins often played the whole game without a minute of rest.

But he never had a physical exhaustion, it was like running a marathon, everyone else was exhausted and collapsed on the ground after crossing the line and became a dog, and he continued to circle like no one.

Players with this special physique are already rare, and their physical strength is like a volcano. The key is that Simpkins' offense and defense are so balanced, which makes the opponent's core often tired to death by him.

Zhang Yi didn't rest for a minute in the first half. Although his physical fitness is also very good, he is so tough with Simpkins, and he has played hard every time he attacks, so the physical exertion is completely overloaded.

The current situation is even more unfavorable for the Lakers, after all, they are counting on Robert and Zhang Yi's offense, of course, these two people are indispensable, otherwise a lot of cooperation will not be able to play at all.

Wali and the others were also distressed when they looked at Zhang Yi, who was tired into a dog, but none of them could share it for him. Because except for Zhang Yi, no one can guard against Simpkins.

Even Zhang Yi couldn't really make the opponent's offense unable to play in the first half, after all, the opponent still scored 24 points efficiently in front of him.

In contrast, Zhang Yi didn't get many opportunities, and some of them were barely shot, and in the end he only scored 18 points on 4-of-10 shooting. Of course, he also had six assists and seven rebounds.

The reason why the Lakers lost so many points is also because since Raj changed tactics, their defensive counterattack has basically disappeared.

It's what they do best, and it doesn't matter if it's all positional warfare now, whoever makes the opponent a defensive powerhouse. No matter how they pass the ball, the Lakers players just feel that the opponent is like a haunted demon who can always pounce.

Biting is what Spurs players do best! And it's not just the Spurs' five starters, their bench players are also educated in this way.

Anyone who wants to play for the Spurs has to be solid defensively, and that's a piece of their team's history.

The on-site commentary is also the first time that the Lakers can't turn the tables in the second half.

"It can be seen that the Lakers' winning streak will most likely be cut off tonight. Because they can't do anything about the Spurs' defense. Even Zhang Yi didn't play a pleasing offense, what else could they rely on to beat the Spurs? ”

Of course, some people will praise it, because this kind of commentary will be watched.

"I think the Lakers still have a chance. Because the fast offense that they do best at hasn't been played yet. They're wasting too much energy defensively, and I think the intensity of the No. 1 position should be increased appropriately. ”

"Raghi is the Spurs' offensive starting point right now, even if he's not very playmaker. But the breakthrough technique is good, and it is clear that the Lakers' ability to arrange the No. 1 position does not match him at all. ”

Just when the commentators were giving the Lakers all kinds of tips, Duncan sat in the audience and fell asleep in such a noisy environment.

This makes LeBron James look at this envy, after all, good sleep quality is more valuable than any amount of money when people get old.

And the heart of this product is too big, although this game is not a wonderful match for Mai Mang, but at least it also played an excellent offensive and defensive transition, and he can still fall asleep, he really doesn't understand.

In fact, since he was a player, he and Duncan were not players in the same world. There are many teams vying to mess around, but one is a high-profile entry into the league, and even a personal documentary was made soon.

The other is low-key, playing quietly in the small ball market for more than ten years, and rarely even appears in entertainment news.

They are equally great, but their personalities and backgrounds make the two go against each other. Recall Duncan's famous quote to James, 'The future is yours'!

Duncan is definitely not serious, because he and James are fundamentally two worlds apart. The future of the little emperor is not given by Duncan, they are like two types of people in the NBA, each with its own excitement!

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yi was pressed to the bench by Wacker. Although he himself did not accept it, there was no way to refute the manager's words.

The opposite Spurs looked a bit like they wanted to start the showdown early. Because they didn't let Simpkins rest, although it is not a full main lineup, but with Simpkins, the power of this semi-rotation lineup is also huge.

Wacker is betting that his team can hold the Spurs down for the time being. After Zhang Yi relieved his personal pressure and rested, he returned to the court to recover the score, and even turned the tables to win.

It's a simple idea, but it's hard to do.

After all, even if Simpkins doesn't rest, God knows when he will get tired lifting, and even if he won't feel tired.

As the game began, Spurs' advantage immediately translated into scoring. Simpkins was not involved in this ball, and the others found an opportunity through the transmission and hit a mid-range shot.

Of course, Wacker stood on the sidelines and yelled at the players to defend, but he couldn't play himself, and at this level of play, he had to be in a hurry, after all, the players basically played at their true level.

No, no, the Spurs are like the Lakers' strength ceiling right now, they can reach but it's hard to win.
