Chapter 456: Robert and Donde
Gianna inherited her father's keen perception of the basketball world, which is related to the exposure to it since childhood. After all, even those second-generation stars may not have the opportunity to learn so much about basketball.
And although Gianna did not inherit her father's motor nerves, many qualities are indeed the most similar to Kobe among the sisters, which even 'Black Mamba' once said in an interview.
The reason why the Lakers chose a woman to accept such an important task as general manager is not just because her dad is the No. 1 star in Lakers history.
And it's also because Gianna does know the ball, and her wrists are tough enough. This can be seen from the fact that she has gotten all kinds of good players for the team with a few garbage players.
Personality factors aside, the Lakers are the standard championship-winning team. Their main force is extremely dominant first and foremost. Even if the defense is a little worse for the time being, it is also making up for it infinitely with offense.
If it weren't for the team's performance, they wouldn't have had a chance to reach such heights. Be the center of attention for all.
It's only a matter of time before Robert and Vali will grow rapidly in such an environment. No matter how much the veterans make trouble, it's useless.
Because the future is Zhang Yi's, and it is also the brown bear Sanjie's. Since Gianna has put a lot of effort into getting these three brothers together, she will not simply let go.
There aren't that many sweet deals in this alliance, it's all based on the word profit. Judging from Zhang Yi's performance all the time, it is clear that replacing Robert and Wali will greatly increase the performance of the Lakers.
But doing so can also be counterproductive, and it's not uncommon for examples to do so. Especially the third brother's feelings are getting deeper and deeper now.
Even if Robert and Vali started to play as substitutes, Zhang Yi did not speak on the surface. But his performance was enough to prove that he was very unhappy.
This can be seen from his unceremonious humiliating defense again and again when facing Tang De, Zhang Yi, who has always played very gently even on the court, rarely starts so ruthlessly.
That's a testament to his up-and-down mentality, and of course it's probably a good change. Who can perform so well? Can you defend the opponent with anger The star will not play? Looking at the whole alliance, there may only be Zhang Yi.
Because using one's anger wisely is also a great weapon for NBA stars. But players who can turn all anger into strength are rare.
Zhang Yi can do this at such a young age, and this is obviously enough to be called great.
The current Lakers senior management certainly respects Zhang Yi more and more when they see him performing like this. This naturally affects their perception of Robert and Vali.
Because they don't want to offend a big man who is about to become the top name in the league because of two players with the same potential.
In the future, it is normal to renew their contracts, even if it is a top contract. After all, Robert has offense, Vali is organized, and if these two are allowed to grow up, they will likely become all-time stars.
Playing next to the greatest players naturally makes it stronger. The history of the NBA has successfully explained this sentence.
Although Zhang Yi is not the greatest, he can be regarded as a powerful player in today's league. He was well-rounded and had his own system of attack and defence.
In the case of getting acquainted with him, there is a noticeable enhancement in the performances and statistics of Robert and Vali. This is in contrast to the strength of these two people without Zhang Yi's competition.
It's clear that the current Lakers have no reason to abandon the two of them at all, but those veterans are the ones who can be kicked at any time.
A bunch of mercenaries seem to think too highly of their status, and for Gianna, the general manager of the Lakers, she just watches the situation with a cold eye.
Because if something goes wrong, then she won't hesitate to discard those pieces. As for Zhang Yi, Robert and Vali, she only cares about how amazing these three will grow in the future.
The future of the Lakers is also bright, after all, with a strong rookie like them. It doesn't matter if you have a little problem right now.
It won't make a difference if they don't win the championship this year, because Gianna is sure that she will have a lot of awards to her name, and the next few years will be the era of the Purple and Gold.
Although Robert can't defend against Donde, it can be seen that his defense is improving little by little. Especially when it comes to the basket a lot of the time.
Because he really let it go, no matter what the old slippery head in the team said, it was obvious that he didn't give up. What if you don't have a starting position, just play according to the performance of the starter!
Donde's breakthrough wasn't that hard to defend either. Just like the reason why the opponent can defend him, Robert can analyze the opponent's ability from his own habits.
And at the stage of the pause, Zhang Yi also gave him a click. No matter how strong a two-way guard like Robert is, of course he can understand it at all.
So back in the game, his performance immediately went up a notch. To be young is to be motivated. Even Tang De has to admit this.
He saw himself in Robert. Even though he may encounter all kinds of doubts now, as long as he persists, he will succeed.
Of course, Tang De would not let this young man step on his own position. So after a few good shots, his breakthrough became sharper.
Especially after increasing the coordination of passing and receiving the ball, Robert's defensive awareness is already poor, and now he is more prone to misjudgment when targeted.
This is not something that can be done in three or two sentences, and you can make up your mind to improve your defense. After all, there are several Valanda in the whole alliance, and what he can do is basically the operation of the gods.
Robert is still far from it, but his defense is no longer the target of direct criticism. Because you can see that he is really trying to defend!
Performance can be put on the back burner, after all, basketball skills can be improved, but awareness will only be gradually worn out with age.
Robert is at least showing the right attitude now, and these veterans can't hack him. Can these people stop Donde when they play? Especially since the opponent is clearly playing at full strength now, he may not have seen it for a long time.
"You're really strong, Donde!" Robert excitedly said that even though his opponent repeatedly scored on the head, he enjoyed it.
After all, no matter what the final result of a good game is, the players will enjoy it while they are there.
"You're not bad, I originally wanted to spray you, but now I find that it's also fun to talk with strength!" Tang De held the ball and attacked again, but unfortunately the final result was finally defended by Robert!
