Chapter 363: Rest Before the Storm

The Lakers' lag behind was planned and unexpected. For the audience, although Zhang Yi is strong, at least he has not shown the strength to win one-on-one with Curry Jr.

This is also a normal situation, after all, one is the king who has ruled the league for nearly 6 years, and the other is a super rookie at best, and the experience and honor are not half a star.

Although the Lakers have now won a super-winning streak, their dominance is still conservatively questioned. This is mainly due to the fact that the previous opponent was too problematic. Since playing against the Warriors, the Lakers' schedule has been nothing short of terrifying.

No matter how much people talked about it before, once the two teams face each other. The intensity of the superteam still has a lot to learn from the Lakers.

Coach Wacker, in particular, had a learning mentality from the start. Even if he is a high-profile person, he also understands that the Warriors are the strongest team in basketball today, and the Lakers must grasp the key to victory from them if they want to go further.

At halftime, he focused on analyzing how Curry Jr.'s core offense should be defended. Obviously, Zhang Yi's single defense against him is not very effective.

Now the game is in the hands of the core of both teams. The one-on-one blow to Zhang Yi is mainly on fouls. If it were a normal situation, the referee would have given a looser penalty in the second half. Don't be on Zhang Yi's side, otherwise they will be questioned again after the game.

So the performance in the first half can't really be regarded as a gap between the two people, the current rules are indeed a bit soft, and if there are fewer free throws, Curry Jr.'s personal score will drop a big chunk.

There are few in the league that can score 20 points in front of him in the first half, and Zhang Yi's strength lies in his character, which has not yet been reflected, and this is where the Lakers can seize in the second half.

The difference between the two teams has not been fully widened, and everyone knows that the game is not over yet. And it should be said that the exciting part is only now begin......

"Little Curry, how do you feel about Zhang Yi's current state?" The Warriors head coach asked separately during the break. Because he cares a lot about the supernova that the Lakers get. Although he does not agree with the statement that Zhang Yi is the successor of Curry Jr. In his opinion, Curry Jr. is certainly a unique player.

Although Zhang Yi's performance is strong now, there are some players in history who can play eye-catching performances in their rookie season. Just like those players who are called Jordan's successors, none of them can end up playing the performance of the basketball gods. For God is God, and it is impossible to replicate it.

Curry Jr. now plays a different kind of basketball, so he's not Jordan's successor, let alone his dad Curry's successor. Now he has every ability to compete for the first place in basketball.

If a rookie can be on an equal footing with such a top player, the Warriors head coach will definitely die of laughter. Because this idiotic expression is like saying that a newborn has the strength of an adult.

Although they each have their own strengths, Curry Jr. is irreplaceable. Zhang Yi may be strong in the future, but now he can only obediently do the second place.

If Zhang Yi hadn't caused trouble for Thomas in the preseason, no one would have compared him to Curry Jr. Because Thomas is the standard second man in the league, Zhang Yi's performance makes him the new top player. But that comes after Curry Jr. retires this year.

"I think he's okay, he didn't play to his full strength." "So you don't either."

Hearing Curry Jr.'s words, the Warriors head coach said with a smile. He has absolute confidence in his star team, which is of course also due to the fact that Curry Jr. has once again worked beyond his physical limits throughout the offseason.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Zhang Yi's super traits in the preseason made Curry Jr. understand that there is another possibility in basketball. Beyond the ordinary realm, although he does not necessarily represent victory, but as the embodiment of the god of basketball, Curry Jr. must demand that he master it all!

Therefore, it is not only Zhang Yi and Thomas who have mastered this trait in the league now, but Curry Jr. has also obtained this ability through devil training. Although that didn't stop him from retiring, he was really interested in playing with that trait.

The head coach said this kind of thing in order to satisfy the mentality of his core who wanted to play, after all, there were only a few opportunities to play against the Lakers this season.

At the same time, Zhang Yi also told Wacker, "I feel that my body can use traits again. Hearing this, the head coach of course shook his head reflexively, because after the original duel with Thomas, his body seemed to fall into a deep sleep again.

It is undoubtedly risky to use it again now without knowing the side effects. Zhang Yi is indispensable for the Lakers' future victory. If this seemingly powerful force would affect his physical condition, then it would be the last thing Wacker wanted.

"It doesn't matter if you lose this game." It would be harder to get Wacker to say the towel, than to kill him. He certainly doesn't really think he can't win against the Warriors, but he just thinks that risking his trait in order to win a regular season game needs to be seriously considered.

Of course, Zhang Yi understood the meaning of the head coach's words, but he didn't want to admit defeat. The last time in the preseason, even if he used the trait, he didn't take much advantage of the small library. It is conceivable that this No. 1 player in basketball is really strong.

I think that at the beginning, even players as strong as Wang Long and Wacker had nothing to do about Zhang Yi's characteristics. And Zhang Yi is also very interested now, since Thomas can also learn this trait through the duel with him, then Curry Jr. is also very likely to do it......

If Curry, who is so strong, could play like himself, that scene would definitely go into a crazy situation. Even if Zhang Yi doesn't think that he will lose, it is just a delusion, after all, that opponent is the strongest basketball player in the world.

Zhang Yi is not yet twenty years old even now, and no matter how strong his ability is, he is still on the rise. So he said that he was going to use his traits to defeat Curry Jr., but he was actually ready in his heart.

The second half of this game was definitely a do-or-die match. Not only for the Lakers and Warriors, but even for Zhang Yi and Curry Jr., the two new and old successors who can be said to be in the best competitive condition!

Zhang Yi has to prove that he can play like Little Curry, and Little Curry wants to prove that he can have what kind of terrifying power Zhang Yi has!
