Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fan System Is Flashing Again
Schramf was overwhelmed by Zhang's brutal style of play, and five years ago he could have relied on his willpower and young body to cause problems for such players, but now his old cold legs can't keep up with the rhythm, and Zhang is too shrewd to break through in the direction of his injured left leg.

George Carr saw that it was not good, and hurriedly distracted Kemp, who was very mobile, to take care of Zhang Mao.
Now the outside line obviously can't bear it, so you can only let the inside line fill the hole.
But he still didn't dare to let his own outside line easily wrap Zhang Qi, the Lakers' outside players are too strong to see the stitches, and the cost of doing so is too great.
"We have to be quicker, don't let them get in position, Lyon, you rush in when you have the chance, don't hesitate when it's time to shoot, don't care about the hits, be sure to pull their defense."
Harris doesn't care what tactics his team plays, and if the opponent has a hole in a position, he would rather let his team change their style to attack the weakness.
Zhang Wei is obviously a point that supersonic can't cope with now, so he has to use this advantage to completely break through the supersonic defense line.
"No problem, I'm going to kill them!"
Zhang Qi got 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, facing a championship-level team like the SuperSonics, he can still achieve such all-round data, and he has already doubled his confidence at this moment, coupled with the cheers of Lakers fans, he is a little inflated, feeling that he can turn the opponent upside down alone.
The score was 26:22, the Lakers led by 4 points in the first quarter, and although the supersonic offense was also played, it was George Carr's helpless solution.
Since they can't defend it, then they can only fight with the Lakers to attack, but to compete with a team that is not very good at defense instead of defense, which makes George Karl hurt a little, which is equivalent to using the field that he is not good at to fight hard with the field that the opponent is best at.
"Is this a small-ball play?" George Carr also saw that the Lakers seemed to be playing small ball?
There are not many teams that play small ball in this era, and he didn't expect the Lakers to switch to this niche tactic, and today he was beaten in a hurry.
In the second quarter, Zhang Yi took a full half quarter off the court before being replaced.
His stamina needs to be saved in this kind of game, but it's not that he can't play 40 minutes, it's for protection purposes.
This season, the Lakers will not overuse Zhang Qi and let an 18-year-old player exhaust his physical strength, which will undoubtedly increase the chance of injury, and the Lakers will not ignore this aspect.
Harris has allocated 30 to 36 minutes of playing time for Zhang, which will be adjusted appropriately according to the situation of the game, but will not easily let him play more than 36 minutes.
When Zhang Qi came on the court in the second quarter, the score had been re-overtaken by the supersonic speed.
The Lakers don't have him as a point of possession inside and out, and the supersonic defensive skills will be revealed immediately, if it weren't for Fan Maniac's several unreasonable goals, the Lakers would have been broken down at the moment.
It can be seen that Van Exel is still a necessary addition to the Lakers, and Ceballos must rely on a teammate who can hold the ball to exert his power, and his own ball-handling ability cannot break the defense against a team like the SuperSonics.
Zhang's role today is to be able to target the weak defense at the SuperSonics' No. 3 position, a generation of players who are slightly less physical than they were two decades later, and there are many players in the league who are less than two meters tall and weigh less than 200 pounds to play at the small forward position that requires strong confrontation.
This will become less and less common in a decade's time, because being short of height and weight means not having enough ability to play at the increasingly physically demanding small forward position.
In this era, Zhang often encountered opponents who were five or six centimeters shorter than him and weighed a lot, and he had an advantage in speed and agility, which would make many teams embarrassed, and the supersonic in front of them felt that they had encountered a monster that could not be controlled.
As soon as Zhang Qi came on the field, the supersonic inner line had to move closer to his side, and the auxiliary defense forces had to be placed in his direction, and Ceballos on the weak side immediately felt light.
In less than two minutes, the Lakers' baseline rat relied on his best cut to score another four points.
The SuperSonics know that Ceballos' cut is tricky, or the whole league knows about it, but few teams can watch his cut.
Now Ceballos can not only cut inside from the baseline, but he can also cut under the basket from the wings, and his running routes are much richer than in the Suns, and his body has become stronger, which is naturally more difficult to defend.
After Zhang Zhu came on the field, he mainly cooperated with Ceballos, so that the opponent did not dare to invest too many troops in himself.
Van Exel, on the other hand, is at the top of the arc, and if his side is short on defense, Zhang Mao will also split the ball and let him attack with the ball.
This is one of the Lakers' current offensive routines, Zhang Mao first attacked with the ball on both wings, Van Exel stood in the middle to answer, and Ceballos found his own position and timing to cut under the basket, and the Lakers had to try to threaten the opponent from three directions.
The two interior players are primarily responsible for providing off-ball screens for their outside teammates and preparing for the final point of contact.
If the opposing team lets go of the Lakers' two interior players, the basketball could be passed to them at any time.
This is the key to today's Lakers being able to compete with the SuperSonics, although this team has Payton and Kemp, two defensive giants, but the military discipline is not strict enough, the defensive formation is not tight enough, and more relies on physical talent to defend, such a team will be very passive when it encounters a player with excellent vision like Zhang Mao, and he has the ability to pass assists for every teammate who is released.
Fan Maniac can't do this, after Zhang Yu came on the court, the Lakers' tactical options and offensive fulcrums suddenly increased, and the SuperSonics, as one of the strongest defensive teams in the league, also took care of one or the other for a while.
The superSonics have never lacked something, like the Thunder later, and they always seem to be one step away from the championship.
The Lakers took the lead at 46-45 in the final two minutes of the first half, and it was Zhang who distributed the ball to his teammates in the camp bag, and this time it was Malik who answered the layup.
"Boss, it's beautiful!"
Malik has been learning Ceballos' style lately, with more speed and explosiveness, and a lot of potential in training.
Zhang Qi nodded, looked up at the big screen, and released his own data on it-
12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, his points in this quarter became less under the help of Kemp's defense, but the assists increased, and the supersonic prevented him from scoring, so they couldn't care about his points.
George Carr made an effective substitution at this point, replacing center Johnson with projection interior Sam Perkins.
Sam Perkins is an interesting player, he was born with a lethargic expression, more like a sleeping god than Maddie later, and those eyes that never open can easily make people underestimate, but under these dozing eyes, there is a very dangerous light.
The Lakers' defense couldn't respond, and in a blink of an eye, the guy who barely left the ground when he shot a three-pointer hit two three-pointers in a row, and the score was instantly stretched away by 5 points.
"Is that okay?" Zhang Wei only felt incredible, he had never seen a person with such a weird and lazy shooting posture, this guy's two shots made him feel off, but he actually went in.
Sam is a geek, he is a rare projection interior line in this era, many people will be confused by his dozing appearance, but in fact, his running position is very tricky, and the running route is always caught off guard, the key is that the hand is very good, and many teams will be killed by this seemingly lazy guy's three-point shot if they are not careful.
In the first half, the SuperSonics relied on Sam's two three-pointers to lead the Lakers by five points at 53:48.
Zhang Zhu's performance of 12 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal in the first half is absolutely amazing, this is the first regular season game of his career, and he is still facing the top team in the league, SuperSonics, not to mention that this is only the data of the first half, even if he gets such data in the whole game, it can be regarded as a good performance.
The reporters on the scene stepped forward to interview the new core of the Lakers at halftime, and everyone knew that the Lakers were able to play back and forth with the SuperSonics today, and it was entirely the credit of the 18-year-old rookie.
"This is your first regular season game, is there anything you'd like to tell everybody?"
"I remember someone saying that I was a strange person in oriental armor, and I didn't care what ambiguity they had, but I did want to be at the forefront and protect my friends with my body."
Zhang Yu began to pretend again, and the ghost knows where he learned these shitty words.
"Will you be nervous in the first game?"
"Nervous? No, I'm never nervous! I'm only here for basketball! Oh yes, and cute cat videos. ”
The fans at the scene were amused by him, and after Zhang Fu finished loading 13 here, he suddenly found that his fan column was flashing again!?
"Damn, flashed again?" This discovery made him can't help but get excited, because only when there are fans with a value of more than 85 points, his fan system will send a prompt, which is the value set by him personally.
