Chapter 347: The Lakers Rise to Strength

Zhang Yi only started his personal offensive mode at the last moment of the game, but he didn't expect the first ball to be blocked? Indiana fans are used to this kind of scene.

Back in his peak season when Curry Jr. won the regular season, Finals, and All-Star Game MVP, he only scored 28 points in the first game against the Pacers...... That's right, 28 points is indeed out of order, because Curry Jr. has played 40+ in 9 games before this!

It's not just him, as long as he plays the Pacers, the opponent's core players will always play weirdly inaccurately. This is one of the great things to do in the league.

When the Pacers have a key game, everyone always likes to bet on how much the opponent's core will shrink in this game. Zhang Yi's performance in the first half was almost non-existent, and it is not surprising that he is now interfered with to hit the iron.

Of course, these viewers didn't know that Wacker intended to control Zhang Yi's performance in this game, because in his heart, training the lineup to deploy the strongest Lakers team is the top priority now.

On the surface, Vali and Robert have better data than Zhang Yi, but when it comes to the actual role, they are still far from the same. Without Zhang Yi's attractable defense, it can be said that the Lakers' offensive efficiency and overall defense will be greatly reduced.

The problem now lies in the Pacers' defensive strategy against superstars, seemingly without helping the defense, but using the spider web layout to defend and not leave Zhang Yi with a chance to escape.

And their countermeasures are fluid, when Zhang Yi was about to open the situation with an outside shot in the next ball, his defender immediately clung to it and frantically interfered with the shot.

In the end, Zhang Yi was entangled and had no chance to make a strong shot, although he missed, but caused the opponent's defensive foul. These three free throws were nectar in the rain for the Lakers, who were chasing points, and they saved their lives.

After consecutive hits, the game's margin returned to single digits. At this point in time, they have a chance as long as they keep the momentum of catching up.

Although the Pacers are very balanced offensively and defensively, the overall strength is very strong. But when it comes to handling the key ball, there are always various problems.

Duncan is not the kind of manager who will rely on one player at the last minute, and in his opinion, a set of slamming tactics is planned.

While his plans always work, the gap between the average player and the top stars is clear, and the more important the goal, the more relentless they are.

Are the Pacers missing superstars? Of course, because no player with a big heart can hold his last breath, which is a big reason why they always fail when it matters most.

It's just that Duncan has always been reluctant to admit this, and for him, as long as the game is played well according to the camera, there will be no final stunner moment.

Even if Zhang Yi scored by free throws, this is by no means a normal rhythm of chasing points. Although the opponent's defensive players do not have the title of best defender or defensive three, their defensive awareness and obedience are better than more than 90% of the league's players.

Duncan doesn't have any stars under his hands, but that doesn't stop him from having a large number of good players. Every time he cultivated a star, he immediately took action in exchange for a few good disciples to cultivate carefully.

It can be said that the Pacers are an incubator for good players, and Duncan is both a Bole and a horse trainer. Otherwise, no matter how advanced his tactical concept is, it would be a lie if he didn't have good players to use it.

The Lakers' offense has been handed over to the most heeping player in their hands, but unfortunately they can't play any wonderful performance in the face of five vicious dogs.

On the contrary, the Pacers' offense is still fluid, and Zhang Yi has not been able to participate in the defense of the scoring team until now, because as long as he leaves his defender, the result is a three-pointer.

The quality of the Lakers' rotation has always been a big problem, even if Robert is taken down and replaced with a better defensive player, the result is that no matter who Zhang Yi changes to, whoever moves to the weak side will move him out of the defensive system......

Duncan is well aware that the Lakers are a very holistic team, with Robert and Zhang Yi acting as double arrows to maintain the team's offense, while Vali cooperates with Zhang Yi to complete the defense.

But the problem here is that they rely too much on Zhang Yi on both offensive and defensive ends, even if the Pacers' idea this time is to divide the opponent and isolate the core player.

Now it seems that this tactic has been very successful, and Zhang Yi is free from the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends to make their living on the fast offense that they rely on to play.

Wacker watched the Pacers continue to score, and reluctantly called a timeout. For him, it doesn't matter if you lose this game, but it's worth it. He hasn't figured out how to win against the Pacers, at least yet.

Yibian fought again, the Lakers served in the midfield, and Vali also looked directly for Zhang Yi. I saw that he had come in from the change line and immediately made a wall for Zhang Yi.

But he didn't expect his running to be expected by the defenders for a long time, and the player who had been chasing Zhang Yi didn't keep up, and he changed to the second position. The player on the other side immediately completed the defense.

Vali didn't expect the Pacers' restrictions on Zhang Yi to be to such an extent. The two of them glanced at each other, Vali immediately went down, Zhang Yi shook up the defender after a feint and did not immediately break through, but wore a floor ball, and cooperated with Wali to take off and score a violent dunk!

Vali, who had suppressed the whole scene, immediately roared excitedly, which startled Zhang Yi on the side, thinking that this big-eyed cute little brother still had this voice.

The Lakers' offense slowly picked up from Zhang Yi's pass. Duncan also expected this step, but in his calculations, Zhang Yi should continue to lose a few singles before changing.

The player's ability to adjust temporarily is definitely one of the keys to whether he can become a god, and Zhang Yi's performance is definitely a plus for Duncan.

Because of his special status, coupled with his extraordinary vision, the league's annual regular season MVP is completely Duncan's vote for whoever is elected.

Everyone knows that this high-IQ head coach will never favor anyone, even if he is the season scoring champion who has made great contributions to the Pacers and averages 31 points per game?!

As long as Duncan feels that this person's comprehensive ability is not the strongest this year, he will definitely not vote, and because of this, the league's stars who are interested in the MVP trophy also value the game against the Pacers.

Looking back, Zhang Yi did not choose to participate in defense, but directly went to prevent and control the ball, which is also a huge change. Because no matter what, he is also a 2.08 meter small forward, and it should be a loss to defend a point guard who is only 1.91 meters tall.

But I didn't expect the Pacers' point guard to make a mistake in the first face of Zhang Yi's death-winding defense, and after being stealed, the Lakers finally played a fast break!

The audience in the stadium panicked, because the Lakers who played such an offense this year are invincible......
