Chapter 268: Against Simpkins
Version 1.0 'Mechanical Killer' Simpkins' Rise to Fame is Deathcoil's defensive skill. This ability earned him the affirmation of DPOY at a young age.
Of course, at this time, almost all critics denied his offensive ability, and a player with only half the function on the field could not become a superstar. There was a period of attention on him, but the trend passed quickly.
Curry Jr. is an absolute signature of the NBA, and even the Knicks' 'rush' Thomas is much better than this Simpkins in everyone's eyes. After all, there are many players with high defensive efficiency, and Curry Jr. himself has won the award of best defender.
A strong offense is what attracts people. Spurs head coach Fry also showed Simpkins a lot of Thomas' offensive highlights. You must know that the face-to-face appearance of this offensive maniac is already strong enough, and now looking at his face frame highlights, even the cold and unspoken Simpkins jumped excitedly.
If you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you must develop your blood-pumping offensive ability! Also since last year, Simpkins has been training frantically for an entire offseason, with 500 jumpers, 500 three-pointers, and 500 breakaways every training day! The three-five-hundredth plan completely changed the defensive sharpshooter.
In order to increase his mobility and explosiveness, he also lost weight appropriately to reduce body fat as much as possible and exercise muscle toughness.
Fry didn't expect this kid to be so determined, and he didn't believe how a player could be reborn in just a few months. If honor is easy to sink, then Hipkins is by no means that kind of person, because his cold performance has absolute confidence!
After the start of the new season, the 2.0 version of the Simpkins score skyrocketed from 15+ to 30+, from a small forward who was not good at scoring to a crazy scoring machine.
The most important thing is that the Spurs head coach has completely improved the team's tactics for him, obviously so that Simpkins can win this season's scoring title and regular season MVP!
After all, it has been a long time since the Holy City has had such a strong player, so the attendance rate exploded during this period of time, even surpassing the legendary era!
At the beginning, Simpkins really swept the scoring charts, steals charts and blocks charts, and the Spurs' record in the new season is really good. Critics instantly elevated his status as a star to superstardom!
And all along, the situation between Curry Jr. and Thomas has become a three-British separation! Thomas, in particular, really saw a threat in Simpkins. So as soon as the opponent plays a highlight, Thomas will immediately respond with a more energetic performance!
This kind of star-to-star rivalry has long been absent from anyone other than Curry Jr. and Thomas. Too many stars are willing to fall behind, and Simpkins has also taught everyone that these two are not unchallengeable!
Of course, the final result was that Thomas won the scoring title and even the final regular season MVP, but the only problem was that Simpkins suffered a wrist injury in the middle of the season.
Although he wants to play with an injury, the Spurs are not such a messy team. This player is the cornerstone of their rise to the future, how can he give it on the spur of the moment.
No matter how advanced technology is, muscle injuries can only be slowly healed. The much-loved trio has reverted back to the game of Curry Jr. and Thomas.
Two months later, Simpkins is making a comeback, and he has dropped out of the top five in the regular season MVP rankings.
Thomas even threatened to deserve the MVP trophy when he won it, which made Simpkins, the third-place candidate sitting on the sidelines, blackface the whole time. If he hadn't been injured, it would have been hard to say.
The Spurs have the second record in the West, and he may win the scoring title, steal king and block king, but no matter how unconvinced he is, this result is already a fact!
It's not uncommon for injuries to ruin a player in the NBA, but this season Simpkins hasn't relaxed his training for a moment, and his goal is to beat Thomas......
Even winning the MVP is still secondary, Thomas's words keep him awake at night, and he repeatedly thinks about how he can get revenge!
But after seeing his preseason game with Zhang Yi, and more importantly, the final period of the second quarter, Simpkins immediately reacted, and the opponent became stronger, and he never had this trait.
Now it's his turn to fight Zhang Yi, so Simpkins can't wait to fight him, hoping that he can also activate this powerful power, otherwise he will only distance himself from the 'Crazy Rush'.
The Spurs and Lakers sat on the floor together, discussing it as if they were watching a matchup on a wild court, and some even set up a bet. Obviously, there are many people on the Spurs side who bet on Simpkins to win, and almost everyone on the Lakers side thinks that Zhang Yi will win!
It wasn't until Wacker and Fry spoke that the crowd fell silent. Zhang Yi faced Simpkins with the ball, the two were of similar height, but the opponent's reach and weight were an advantage.
I saw that he possessed and began to control the ball, and Simpkins did not give him space to start. At the moment when his ankle exerted force, he immediately strode and stuck in front of his forward leg.
"Uh, this guy is really good at defense!" Strong defense and dirty are two concepts, and Zhang Yi has to admire the opponent. Block your opponent's movement with your feet, then use your two long arms to find opportunities for tackles.
"Attacked?" "It's a lot of work! But it's not impossible! Zhang Yi suddenly sneered, and then immediately took half a step back, controlled the ball to the right and hit the basket, and the speed of his steps surprised Simpkins a little.
This 'mechanical killer' has also directly defended 'Rush' Thomas, and he has always thought that this guy may be the fastest first player in the league, but now Zhang Yi's speed cannot be judged by the naked eye.
After being broken through, Simpkins didn't even follow the defense to send Zhang Yifei to score a layup. Because he knows there's no point in following up. The level of experience of this rookie is not something he can imagine.
Simpkins, who entered the league at the age of 19, was despised by the Nets at the beginning because he was too young and then traded to the Spurs, but almost at the same age, Zhang Yi has become a star of the Los Angeles Lakers, even if he is generous, he will be unwilling.
Simpkins smiled wryly, then looked firm. "It was just a temptation, and I wasn't serious yet." Hearing this, Zhang Yi also smiled, "The same thing!" Well, you can get serious! ”
"Show your qualities, or you won't get any points next!" Zhang Yi frowned, "Anyone can say anything, and if you have the ability, you can take it out!" ”
