In the ensuing game, the Trail Blazers changed tactics. From Donde's various singles to the whole team began to create opportunities for him.

It's a bit like the way rugby is played, with all kinds of screens, all kinds of blocks, all kinds of delays. Tang De has debuted for so many years, but this kind of treatment has never been there.

So when the manager made this decision, he was even a little excited.

If it weren't for the final result of the game, their style of play could actually be more direct, which can be regarded as making up for the unfair treatment that Tang De has encountered over the years.

Now the Lakers are playing a strong comeback, so no matter what Donde does, the only purpose is to score. They have done a very good job of limiting their opponents' scores.

Especially in the presence of Robert, the rookie's second-best scorer was completely suppressed. If it weren't for WALL's small outburst, the score gap would have been widened long ago.

Now facing the opponent's strongest scorer Zhang Yi, especially his singles ability is far above Robert. Originally, Donde struggled to defend alone, but now it has become the Trail Blazers, and all players have begun to rotate defense.

Even the strongest players will struggle to score against the team. Especially his teammates, although they also have strong points. But the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy is smart.

All of them are moving to block the opponent's passing routes, and they are also consciously forcing Zhang Yi to go to the basket. His strengths are certainly obvious, as is his finishing ability under the basket.

It's just that this is a one-on-one situation, and everyone will have a familiar route when they break through. I think that Zhang Yi had also observed Sean's footsteps and prevented his super breakthrough.

Now, although Tang De or Grant are not, it is difficult for them to catch the rhythm of Zhang Yi's breakthrough. But obviously, there will always be someone who finds the pattern when there are more people.

Opponents who used to be scattered in the sand suddenly became a whole that made up for each other's shortcomings. For the Lakers, it could be worse than them being down by a few points.

Because the strength of the opponent is already very strong, it is very rare to maintain the strength of the playoffs all year round in the West that can be called fiercely competitive.

This can be seen from the energy of the Lakers who tried to climb up from the belly team again and again and ended in failure. After all, it's not that they haven't gotten stars, and the attraction of the big ball market still exists, but they have never encountered an existence that can unite the whole team into a whole.

Zhang Yi's ability is indeed very strong, but he is only tying Robert and Vali together now, and the three of them are really strong when they are together.

They can basically make up for each other's shortcomings, but correspondingly, now the Lakers have broken them up. Wacker also intended to split the three.

This is, of course, to seize the limited time and opportunity to hone the abilities of these three people. It's certainly not wrong to huddle, but relying too much on teammates can also affect your development.

In particular, Zhang Yi's style of play can hardly be said to be a substantial blow to the opponent now, because he doesn't want Tang De to make fouls and use various means in order to win.

In terms of his dedication to victory, Zhang Yi is not lost to anyone, but he lacks experience on the court and his wrist is a little weak, which is also a major flaw for him.

Robert, on the other hand, is an existence that can ruthlessly tear apart opponents, and he can fight for victory by any means, even the small moves he has learned on various field fields.

Dirty or clean, only the victors are talked about. So pointless persistence does not bring respect. On the contrary, if they lose the game because they are too cautious, they will only end up being the laughing stock of their opponents.

Zhang Yi's first offense with the ball ended in failure, which is not good news for the Lakers.

The momentum of the audience also rose, because for the fans of the Trail Blazers, they simply thought that as long as they could block Zhang Yi, it would be enough to get rid of the Lakers.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is good enough to be able to get Curry Jr.'s successor. Zhang Yi has shown the momentum of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha this season.

So for the Trail Blazers, who don't have the ambition to win the championship, it's good to be able to do this.

Because the last person to complete the block was Grant, which also shows that under Tang De's defense, Zhang Yi has been forced into an uncomfortable style of play.

And the Trail Blazers are focusing on him, so that they can prevent his offense when the difference in strength is obvious.

Wacker was a little helpless, because the final result of the team meeting was like this? He now regrets a little bit about why he gave the players the power to call the shots.

Although in a team, the players are the real subjects. But a team that really wants to get good results must have a manager who is domineering enough.

Otherwise, he can't control the players in the team at all, then all the training and results are not to be discussed.

Zhang Yi is the hope of the Lakers this game, but it doesn't mean that the whole team has to put all the pressure on him alone. This is also an unhealthy situation.

Considering that the point difference is behind, now the core attack is blocked again. Several people on the current Lakers court are also a little flustered.

Especially for others other than Zhang Yi, after playing for so long, they have never seen the team fall into such a passive situation. After a long and comfortable win, the players' mentality is naturally prone to change when they encounter a tough battle.

Wacker didn't call a timeout immediately, because it had a greater impact on the players' minds, as if Zhang Yi's attack failed, and they had to change their tactics?

Of course, for the average player, this may often be the case. But the Lakers can't do that, and Zhang Yi's status doesn't allow him to be questioned.

It doesn't matter if it's against the Trail Blazers or the Warriors or anyone in the Finals, the current team is completely an appendage to the players.

This is the so-called double-edged sword in superstars. On the one hand, he brought victory, exposure and fans to the team. On the one hand, he let his fame overshadow the fame of the team.

Let the team completely turn into a machine for him personally. Although the cost is not obvious, often at the last moment, when they part with the team, it will cause a huge storm in the basketball world.

Because without some stars, which team may lose popularity. There has even been a rapid decline in the number of supporters in the team, which is definitely not good news for the team managers.

Although the Lakers don't want such a situation, as Zhang Yi's popularity gets older and higher, they have been forced to enter the status quo of Giant Star City.

As the saying goes, one is prosperous, and one is lost, they must ensure Zhang Yi's performance!
