Chapter 299: Fast Attack
The Hawks are standard, and every position is a star, unlike an untested powerhouse like the Los Angeles Lakers, who have a half-rookie line. Although Zhang Yi is powerful, his fame is not experienced after all.
On the other hand, the Eagles' No. 1 star 'White Shark' Sharon Aldo has been selected as an All-Star in all his careers, and has won two scoring titles, three best teams, and two best defensive teams. Coupled with the talent beyond the average person, yes, in addition to his offensive versatility, he is also very good in defense.
Before the game, almost all Atlanta fans felt that Zhang Yi could not continue to perform at an MVP level under Sharon's terrifying defense.
Zhang Yi's ability is not yet accurately recognized in the minds of the people of this city. There's nothing to be said from a single pre-season performance. Because Sharloin also got an amazing performance of 25+ in ten consecutive games in the preseason that year.
If Zhang Yi hadn't been banned for three games halfway, he might have broken the record of his predecessors, but now, Hawks fans don't regard him as Curry Jr.'s successor. Being able to become the second place in 'White Shark' in the future is already the limit of play.
At the beginning of the game, Brandon, a 2.16-meter high school forward of the Hawks, fought for the ball, and he directly gave it to the point guard Kevin who was on the side.
I saw that Kevin, an all-star point guard with a height of 2.03 meters and an astonishing 2.16 meters in height, controlled the ball very steadily, and he held his long arm to direct the team to quickly settle down.
The Eagles obviously have a talented Big Four, but their offense is particularly solid. The 29-year-old Kevin is now working hard for the first title of his career, step by step.
Otherwise, he would not have given up the maximum salary to join the Eagles, in addition to the "White Shark" Sharloin Aldo with the top salary, even the rim master Brandon and the three-point maniac Connor are all paid far below the market price.
Although they each complained, when there was a problem, the team's chemistry would be the first to go wrong. The Eagles are okay right now and haven't been exposed to any disputes. But the other Big Three, including Kevin, are hard pressed to say they will be able to stay with the team once they see problems with their team's record.
Sharon planned to single Zhang Yi in the first round, but he went around to Zhang Yi to get the ball with his back, and the others immediately opened up the space. In particular, Brandon on the inside is simply a humanoid bulldozer, pushing Vali directly near the sideline.
Vali had gained weight this offseason and reached a whole new level of strength, but it was still too tender for this kind of power-building power-block player.
Standing on the sidelines, Wacker also reminded him from time to time to go to the confrontation. BA is a battlefield, and the first to die is always the person with a problem with his mentality.
Brandon was constantly spewing trash talk at Vali during the confrontation. Not because he thinks the rookie is worth doing it, of course, but that Brandon likes to hit the underdog.
Before the game, Wacker told the children not to care about the words of their opponents, some people are just strong in words, and those who speak with strength on the field are worthy of admiration.
So Vali ignored his words and desperately stuck in his position with a cold face. The young man may not be as strong as Brandon, but he is like a volcano that never knows tiredness.
Zhang Yi held the 'white shark' sirloin. In the pre-match meeting, WACKER took everyone to analyze the style of play of the 2.10m small forward.
Back-to-back striking is probably the least visible technique in Sharon's offensive arsenal. Although he has a height and arm span at the small forward position, he can be said to have no opponents, but his back rotation speed is not very fast.
Zhang Yi stuck his pivot foot, which made it more difficult for Sha Ron, who was already not strong, to turn around. Although his feints are really good, and his strong basic skills are also where Sharin surpasses ordinary stars, Zhang Yi is not shaken.
In the pre-game analysis, the Lakers came to a conclusion that although this Sharon has the ability to shoot and flip jumpers, he also has weaknesses. Every time he prepares for a turnaround jumper, he will habitually lower the ball and then press it back with his elbows, which is to find space with the defender behind him.
But it may be useful for ordinary people, Zhang Yi's reaction speed is very fast, and the opponent can make an immediate judgment when he has such an obvious move.
Now that's the case, when Sharon feels that he may not be able to turn around and break through, in order to be able to play an oppressive performance in front of Zhang Yi and feel that he can turn over and make a jumper, Yan shooting may be the best way to educate rookies.
His hand was habitually lowered, which was all taken in by Zhang Yi, only to see his big hand between the electric flints, only to hear a snap, Sharon was stupid, I didn't expect that the first ball of his single was taken out by the opponent?
Sha Ron's reaction speed was also very fast, I saw that he immediately fell down to protect the ball, and Zhang Yi also reached out to grab the ball, and the two fell to the ground at the same time in an instant......
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, "Scrum!" "The first attack in the opening game was guarded by Zhang Yi to the scrum, and Sha Ron's face was a little unbearable. Because he had planned to play alone, he had little time left to attack, and even if he won the ball, he could only shoot immediately.
It's pitchers Connor and Brandon in their familiar positions, and Sharloin will pick the ball at one of the two. Zhang Yi knows this very well, but there is still a gap between the height and arm span of the two, and the title of Sharon 'White Shark' is not called in vain, and he may not have much advantage in fighting for the ball.
After the referee threw the ball, Zhang Yi did not jump, which also made Sharon Aldo excited, because it meant that the so-called successor to Curry Jr. felt that his bounce ability was far inferior to him.
When he was scrambling for the ball, Zhang Yi suddenly jumped to the side and grabbed the basketball just before pitcher Connor. At this time, Robert had already rushed to the halfcourt quickly, and the Lakers' familiar fast break was here again!
I saw that Zhang Yi threw it directly at Robert without a single step of luck, and the latter jumped up and turned to catch the ball, and then turned around and strode towards the eagle basket. At this time, the only one who was closely followed was Hawks point guard Kevin. It's just that this defensive titan is not fast, he is a good player in defensive positional battles, but the defensive counterattack is still weak......
Robert quickly stepped into the basket and jumped with a one-palm dunk to open the first away goal! Although the Eagles fans thought the offense was slippery, no one cheered, and in their opinion, it could only be luck. Zhang Yi bet on the right direction of Sha Lun's jump ball, which cannot represent the strength of both sides.
Wacker was very happy with the attack, because his tactics were actually very simple. Just play fast! The Eagles Big Four are indeed strong, but they can't hide the flaws of their lineup that are very old!
