Chapter 301: The Battle for the Strongest Small Forward
Sharon is always deflated on Zhang Yi's head, not to mention that the little star who was finally made in advance has to say goodbye. Even his title of 'White Shark' has to be prepared to be handed away.
is also a small forward, Zhang Yi's popularity now far exceeds that of Sharon, who has worked hard in the league for many years, which is unbearable for him with a good face.
The NBA's strongest small forward, Sharloin is bound to win this season. Because of the great god in the San Antonio Spurs before, in the past few years, Sharloin only got one shot. With the Big Four this year, he is confident that he can play at his best.
But now a Zhang Yi has appeared out of thin air, and he has the strength to be high-profile enough in a big city like Los Angeles. Compared to other opponents, Sharloin only cares about this Oriental boy now.
This was the first meeting between the two, so Sharin definitely didn't want to afford to lose. Using the three-second trick to blackmail the team's point guard Kevin is also his helpless move.
Even the arrogant Sharloin knew he was playing with fire right now. But the Eagles will always be his team, and that's what Sharloin is all about. The other three veterans, no matter how strong they are, will eventually lose to time quickly.
There's no way Atlanta can let Sirloin go, and giving him a five-year max contract will show that. That's true, but Sharloin forgot that winning the championship is the only thing the owner cares about, because the Eagles haven't won a championship for too long.
After the first quarter, the Hawks fell behind the fast-paced Lakers. Although 3 points are not too many, it is obvious that in addition to Sharon's strong desire to attack, the other three highest one is Brandon on the inside, who scored 5 points.
Kevin, a two-way defender, was controlling his physical fitness, so it could be seen that he wasn't doing his best to chase Robert. The familiar steals and effective defense of the first quarter did not materialize.
On the contrary, the defensive efficiency of the Los Angeles Lakers is good. Especially when Zhang Yi was on the floor, because every attack of the Hawks was a position, and with the single monster Sharron, it was much easier for the Lakers to defend.
Zhang Yi completely took out all his defensive skills, and he didn't need to think much about it offensively anyway. When Robert was point guard, the two of them could play together with their eyes almost closed. That's just over a year of playing, and the NCAA game is more tactical, so they have been training almost non-stop this year.
Zhang Yi insisted on bringing Vali and Robert into the Lakers for this purpose. Regardless of the strength of these two brothers, it seems that they are the ones who can inspire Zhang Yi's strength 100% now.
The biggest power of the so-called Brown Bear Sanjie is actually Zhang Yi's containment ability, plus Robert is good at offense, and Wali is very balanced in offense and defense, when these three people are present, the Lakers' offense and loss of points are always at the forefront of the league.
Now Robert is facing Kevin, who is good defensively, and can still get chances or create chances with unlimited energy running.
This is the capital of young people, even if the 33-year-old Kevin is still strong, but he can only play leisurely, otherwise when the bayonet is red, the Eagles will lose his team brain.
Although Sharon scored 12 points in the first quarter, he only scored a pitiful two points on Zhang Yi's head. The rest of the 10 points were brushed on the bench after entering the rotation.
As for the defense, he didn't bring much trouble to Zhang Yi, in the run, although this sirloin was very tight, he never lost his position. But that doesn't mean he's defensively intense.
Zhang Yi shook off his opponent through feints and then broke through to the basket a lot of times, which shows that his defensive determination is not strong. Sharon's weapon has always been offensive, which is why he is known as the league's No. 1 offensive small forward.
But when it's time to improve defense, it's a matter of awareness. Although the head coach of the Eagles has criticized the team's No. 1 highly-paid star more than once. But Sirloin always has an attitude that no one can stop me from attacking. Offense solves the problem, and who needs to defend?
It's a thought that never comes to the minds of old-school players, because in their opinion, the only way to enrich their arsenal is to be forever pursued.
A star without defense, no matter how strong he is, can't win a championship. Only when you really do a good job in every item assigned to him will it be the time to bear fruit.
Zhang Yi is actually like a template player with both offense and defense now. His height, weight, and various physical talents are not the top, but they are all strong together.
In addition, he has learned the offensive methods of various stars, as well as the defensive skills that Wang Lung and Wacker personally taught Zhang Yi. The combination of the two gave birth to the idea of a successor to Curry Jr., which everyone recognized.
Sharon's favourite star right now is Thomas, in large part because Thomas is strong in offense, but his defense is only mediocre.
It's just that offense isn't what made Thomas famous. Even if he had offense, he would never have been able to make it from a poor neighborhood to the top of the basketball player without the devilish belief that he would never admit defeat. Now that Thomas has evolved again, he has strengthened his defense this season, but Sharon has chosen to ignore it at this time.
Sharon's defense will always be a hole in the Eagles' court. Even if there are the Big Four, the remaining three won't be able to wipe the ass for one, at least not every round.
Zhang Yi came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter to stabilize the point difference. But Sharon was also immediately replaced by the Hawks, but without Kevin and interior Covington's containment and assists.
The Eagles' offense on the field has completely become Sharon's personal offense, and in the case of Zhang Yi and Infinite Defense, the feeling he finally found through abuse and substitution was like a freeze in an instant.
Zhang Yi's defense is good not because of his height and arm span, but because of his ball sense and prediction. He is different from a player like Sharon, who originally played football and became a superstar based solely on God's physical gifts. Having studied basketball since he was a child, Zhang Yi really trained hard for more than ten years to reach today's status!
Therefore, when defending against players like Sharon, he has only one belief in his heart, that is, he must do his best in every round! It's completely different from thinking about which nightclub to go to after the game and the good-looking man.
After being defended by Zhang Yi for 24 seconds for the third time, the eagles had no choice but to replace the main force in advance. Wacker also immediately responded to the change in the situation on the court and put back the three Bruins.
Although the game is only halfway through, the Eagles, who are sitting on the Big Four, are showing defeat!
