Chapter 398: Back to normal competition
Returning to a normal state of play is the process of making the audience real and comfortable. Because of Zhang Yi and Simpkins' performances just now, to be honest, they are completely in a foggy state.
If it weren't for the slow-motion defense of the camera, such a wonderful performance would not have been appreciated. This is not ordinary people's basketball, and it is not down-to-earth at all.
Although people like to watch the flying show in the NBA, they prefer the feeling of being involved. Everyone will analyze where this ball is awesome or what is not good.
Even mistakes can be exciting, and if it's not a real confrontation, how can people feel the thrill?
Whether it's Zhang Yi or Simpkins, they are already very strong when they use normal techniques. And they're definitely at the level of a superstar right now.
It would be too boring to use some transcendent realm to play like this, making all the audience feel like they were watching a sci-fi movie or an animated basketball.
The NBA is built on countless failures. And this beauty of failure is also intoxicated by countless audiences.
Like, why do the Los Angeles Lakers have such a huge fanship? Because in addition to having a big ball market in this team, it's more important that people like their form.
There is success, but once it is successful, it means that they will build a dynasty. There are also lows, and even one of the greatest stars in Lakers history, 'Black Mamba' Kobe Bryant, has experienced desperate times when the team is in a bad swing.
But this is the NBA, and this is life, to be precise.
Basketball is like life, and the performance of a star is like a variety of ups and downs in life. Zhang Yi messed up a lot of offensive opportunities at the beginning, as if he had experienced some failures alone.
Simpkins did a lot of offense and then led the team to play a good offense, which is called success. But what's interesting about the game is that it's not set in stone.
In this world, there is no absolute strong, let alone an absolute weak. The Lakers launched a Jedi counterattack at the most critical moment. And with good results.
In fact, even if they fail to turn the tables in the end, all the fans will only complain or hack themselves. No one really blames the players for their performance.
Because even God has times when he falls asleep, just like no one can lead a team to 82 wins in the entire regular season. If there really is such a day, the NBA will not be the real NBA!
Now that the game is back to normal, Simpkins simply interfered with Zhang Yi's offense, and then turned around and began to defend back. The Lakers' offense has reverted to positional warfare.
It's just that unlike before, who completely relied on Zhang Yi, everyone else was different. Robert and Vali looked at Zhang Yi, who had returned to normal, and they were relieved.
Because, as WACKER said, the hidden side effects behind this trait are not clear. God knows if Zhang Yi was lucky, so there have been no problems until now.
Anyway, Thomas has already made a negative example, and he must be regretting it now. After all, before he didn't have this trait, he was already one of the best superstars in the league.
It's just that because he is too greedy, he has now sunk directly to a member of the injured table. And this blow is not known for how long.
This year, the Knicks were counting on the fact that they had not done it for two years before Curry Jr. retired, and managed to lift the championship above the head of the Golden State Warriors.
But now Thomas, the heart of the team, has fallen, and their future has become bleak.
Zhang Yi held the ball after half the court and immediately passed the ball to Robert's hand. The reason why it was not handed over to Oscar was only because in the confrontation with the previous one, he consumed a lot of physical strength in the position of the organization.
In the final moments, Oscar also incarnated as a fixed-point shooter. He needs someone else's position to disintegrate the organization, this person can be Zhang Yi, but the best is Robert.
Because Zhang Yi is facing Simpkins after all, the core of the opposing defense, such a high-intensity confrontation is easy to make mistakes. This was evident in the first three quarters of the game.
And in the confrontation again and again, Robert has actually become accustomed to Felton's defense. In addition, although the opponent's defensive habits are good, the physical fitness is not like Simpkins after all.
At this point in time, any momentary laxity is fatal. Robert certainly knew this, plus he had an already organized background.
In the NCAA, although the team has the god of Escalo, the main organizer of the team is Robert.
I saw him holding the ball and walking to the basket. Felton was tight-knit defensively, and he thought Robert was doing it to get a strong shot or to find an opportunity for the outside shooter.
So while he defends the layup, he is also paying attention to the movement of the outside players and is always ready to steal.
But Robert didn't think so at all. He has only one goal, and that is Wall-E under the basket. Except for Zhang Yi, the most familiar player in the team.
Although he has not had many chances because he has been heavily targeted by his teammates. But Zhang Yi knew Vali's ability, and Robert knew even more.
He hit the basket just to get back from the baseline and assist Vali. This also deceived the Spurs' patronus under the basket. By the time he reacted, Wall-E behind him had already caught the ball and jumped to complete the layup.
"This is the Lakers' offense!"
Robert and Vali said excitedly with high-fives. The Spurs players are also getting back on their feet. Although the score difference has now become five points again. But victory is still on their side.
Simpkins also told his players, "Watch out for the opponent's playmakers, they are young, but sooner or later they will become the top carnivores in the league!" ”
His words are not boastful at all, because whether it is Zhang Yi, Robert and Vali, they all have enough ability to stand on their feet in the league.
The only unknown now is how far their bodies and fortune can support these three newcomers.
Yibian fought again, and the Spurs' offense was still dominated by Simpkins, but he no longer allowed himself to attack, and the ball was also passed to his teammate Filton in seconds.
Originally, he had a good chance, and Robert was drawn to the side of Simpkins to help defend. But Felton's hand suddenly cooled, so the basketball brushed out of the frame.
"It doesn't matter!" Simpkins suddenly started talking. He was originally the kind of cold-faced general, but now he suddenly cares about his teammates, and everyone feels warm in their hearts.
As for the Lakers, Robert raised his finger, "One more shot!" ”
Zhang Yi and the others smiled and began to run, as if the game had just begun, and people were back into the confrontation!
