Chapter 432: The Battle of the Strongest Point Guard
The battle between the old and new point guards who can steal the Lakers from the focus game in New York certainly played a fierce spark.
Although the overall strength of the Nets is far inferior to that of the Golden State Warriors, they have home-court advantage and they are very tenacious.
Valanda also played his peak form against Curry Jr. This season he developed more of his own offense.
Even if he didn't say it himself, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Valanda was paying tribute to Curry Jr., the strongest point guard in NBA history.
If Zhang Yi relies on his ability to become the successor of Xiao Curry in people's mouths. Now, in Curry's personal eyes, he still feels that Valanda's personal experience and future abilities are more like himself.
Regardless of what the Nets' results will turn out to be, after all, Valanda is still young, and he can even choose the team again.
Although none of the great players in history left the team without playing in the team. Even if people don't mind, for Valanda, his priority is nothing more than getting the Nets back into the playoffs.
Another important thing is to help the team get back to the finals.
The Nets, who have never been to the Finals for so many years in team history, have always had the best result being to enter the Finals and finish runner-up.
But even so, the players who have done this have been worshipped by the city as gods. If Valanda can help the team reach the finals.
Then even if he leaves, the city will not talk about him behind his back, after all, in such a team that has no tradition of strong teams, it is not a big ball city.
It's still too hard to produce a superstar. If Valanda can lead the team to the Finals, she will be the hero of New Jersey.
This is different from the burden on Zhang Yi's body. For the Lakers, their history has produced countless superstars.
If Zhang Yi wants to be in the same historical position as the celebrity, a finals experience is far from enough. Not only can he reach the finals, but he also needs to win 5 or 6 championships in his limited career.
Because no matter which Lakers celebrity has led the team to a dynasty performance in his career.
This has almost become the standard for the Lakers to select the stars of the team's history for so many years. Fans in Los Angeles are also more strict when it comes to choosing their place in history.
They've seen too many great players and it's not so easy for a big city to be impressed by a player.
Not to mention that Zhang Yi doesn't have any personal honors now, even if he is called Curry Jr.'s successor, he must have won at least one triple championship and led the Lakers to a dynasty.
Now he has no way to stand with all the Lakers celebrities. It's just that Valanda's current situation is completely different from Zhang Yi's.
Valanda had a triple-double in front of the small library. But if you really want to talk about it, his dominance is still a little worse.
Especially when leading the team to attack, in the face of this idol in his heart, Valanda also showed some nervousness for the first time.
He is a famous big-hearted player, but against Zhang Yi, or against Sean and others, Valanda has never been nervous.
When they faced the Golden State Warriors in the preseason, they missed an opportunity because Curry Jr. rested as usual.
The current varanda is completely a fan brother's performance, although after being ** by Curry Jr. once, his excited state of mind has returned to normal, but no matter what the outcome is, he just wants to play his best in front of his idol.
The Nets are completely different from the Lakers, and without Valanda, they have almost no chance to pick the Warriors. The strength of the two teams is simply one day and one place.
So Valanda didn't have time to rest at all, even when Morris himself led the team alone, he would be beaten by Curry Jr. and others to a climax.
More often than not, the Nets can only rely on Valanda transfers. Although with his assists, Morris and others can also play with good efficiency.
But the team with him and without him is simply two levels. After experiencing the turmoil of changing the coach, Curry Jr. also began to grow a beard.
This is actually the same as his dad Stephen?? Curry is about the same, and he started growing a beard after a failed season.
Originally, the two of them looked very similar, but now they have begun to grow beards, which makes people feel that this is the comeback of the 'cute god' Curry of the year.
Not only does he look similar, but Curry, who has returned to the playmaking style of play, even performs similarly to his dad on the court.
So this makes the style of play of Valanda and Curry Jr. closer and closer. It was as if the audience had seen two Golden State Warriors face off.
The only difference is that the Warriors' style of play is not only offensive, but also has high-intensity defensive ability.
When they face the Nets' offense, not only is Curry Jr. draining Valanda's offensive energy, but he can also often complete steals.
Even if Valanda got used to the intensity of the opponent afterwards, he was finally able to complete the normal passing and receiving of the ball. But so did the rest of the Nets.
Although they try to run according to the tactics, the tactics of playing without the ball are similar. And the most authentic in the league is the Golden State Warriors.
So even if other positions don't have the same high-intensity defensive skills as Curry Jr., it's all serious.
The Warriors are going through a tough time right now. Although the acting manager has been following the old coach all the time, he has a good relationship with the main players.
But after this turmoil, their record and ranking have also dropped dramatically.
Coupled with the fact that Curry Jr. has experienced a period of suspension and is now back, they are naturally catching up and wanting to end the final season of the team boss perfectly.
Everyone on the Warriors is playing so aggressively that the Nets have good point guards. But no one else has been able to convert the chances created by Valanda into scores.
The difference between the two teams widened, and in the end, Valanda could only stabilize the situation with his own attack.
It's like the duel between Valanda and Zhang Yi, although he has strong personal offensive ability, he can also play a high shooting percentage in the face of defenders other than Curry Jr.
When the league's No. 1 player, Curry Jr., returned to the court after the break, and Valranda's offense was immediately limited.
On the contrary, when Curry Jr. is single, although his physical condition is not at its best now, he can still play hot offense and defense.
Valanda is still okay to defend outside shooters, but it's still difficult to deal with players like Curry Jr. who can rely on physical strength to complete the frame.
In the battle between the old and new point guards, Valanda still lost. The Golden State Warriors finally beat the Nets, ending the conversation about the best point guard in the game.
