New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 226 Back to Back Battles
The New York Knicks were settled, and the Los Angeles Lakers got off to a good start in their three-game trip in the Eastern Conference.This battle also made many people who questioned the coaching ability of the Bruins and Wacker shut up obediently.

Even if the Knicks with Thomas send four substitutes, their strength is not invincible by ordinary NBA teams.Especially under the training of Baron, the bombardment tactics have penetrated into the hearts of every player.Except for the difference in tactical threats between the starting lineup and the bench, everything else is the same.

The Lakers showed excellent tactical execution in the first quarter, which is not like a preseason game at all.Coupled with the second quarter confrontation between Zhang Yi and Thomas, everyone's intuitive feeling is like watching the performance of last season's finals.The only difference is that Zhang Yi was replaced by Curry.

The only thing that critics care about now is that the Lakers seem to have no depth of bench, except for the three vigorous new-generation players Zhang Yi, Wally and Robert.The other positions don't seem to be at the championship level.

Gianna, who is the manager of the Lakers team, is also constantly thinking about this issue. This year should be the most difficult year to win the championship, because Curry announced that he will retire this season.If he wants to reach Michael Jordan's level, he must get the sixth championship ring!
The entire league also seems to be fully prepared for the retirement season of Curry's glorious career.Everyone subconsciously hopes that the "God of Basketball" of their generation can leave the arena that they have fought for for 15 years with honor!

This human touch may affect the atmosphere of the NBA from top to bottom, from the inside out.In any case, Curry's contribution to the MLS is also worthy of him winning a ring.

If you want to compete for the championship this year, you are completely challenging the hearts of the people.Even if no one expresses it publicly, everyone's subconscious mind only accepts the first team of the Golden State Warriors.

Although everyone also likes Zhang Yi, but now it is limited to liking.There is something alluring about this oriental kid.But everyone sees him as Curry's successor.Since he is the successor, he should obediently watch the senior put the last jewel on the crown!
Gianna secretly approached several top stars who were on the verge of a trade.They were basically tossed by Curry Jr. and the Golden State Warriors in the finals or divisional finals. They had not had a championship for most of their careers and finally became prodigal sons.

This phenomenon also appeared during Michael Jordan's bull period, but although these older stars have the power to fight, they are also factors of instability.

Zhang Yi is the absolute trump card of this purple and gold team. It doesn't matter whether he has won the regular season MVP, scoring leader, or DPOY before. Only players who can support him in a practical way are worth signing.

It is too difficult to find a few powerful mercenaries under this setting.But the Lakers' current lineup is relatively less stretchable.

Although there are a few gangsters on the bench, most of them are good scorers, and few of them are good at defense.Both Robert and Wally's defense has improved to the starting level, but neither of them has a suitable backup.

Just like Jordan back then, he was surrounded by defensive masters.Score?No need to think about it at all.Because Jordan will score in 2000, 3000 ways!
And under his tandem, others can get relatively easy shots, so the Bulls don't need to consider these things at all.

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers have Zhang Yi, it is similar to the Chicago Bulls having Jordan.Wacker also told Jaina more than once that they don't want to attack now, and the defense is still the focus!
The second stop of the Lakers' streak is the Milwaukee Bucks.They came to this city ahead of schedule. If it weren't for the fact that the game had just ended the day before, everyone would have gone to training as usual.

Considering everyone's physical problems, Wacker let them stay in the hotel and borrow portable fitness equipment to maintain their flexibility.

The difficulty for Lian Ke lies in his physical fitness, especially Zhang Yi turned on the "black hole mode" at the beginning of the second quarter.

If the 'black hole mode' can make a player invincible in a short period of time, then he will also drain the player's energy and stamina.

Everything in this world is fair, and there is a thin line between a genius and a lunatic.Possessing traits is definitely a double-edged sword for Zhang Yi. In Wacker's view, the worst result should be to quickly empty out his future!
Because there have been many cases in the league where geniuses were overly dependent on talent and quickly fell, he promised that Wang Long would take Zhang Yi to the altar.One year's superb performance does not explain the problem, which can be seen from Wang Long's body.

In this game, Wacker actually took a break for Zhang Yi.But from the excited state of this kid, it can be seen that he will never accept this kind of decision.

Zhang Yi, Wali and Robert live in a triple room just like in a UCLA dormitory.Of course, this room is much larger than normal rooms.They can warm up and complete adaptive mat training in it.

"Hey, teach me about your state!" Robert asked excitedly.Because it's so cool to see up close.Wally also nodded at this time, "And me! Do you have a name? How did you do it?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head. In fact, he himself was not very clear about this state. "I only know that in this mode, the brain will be blank, the eyes will be dark, and then everyone around will become dots, almost in a static state."

"Hey, are you so amazing?" "Of course, I don't think it's because my speed has become faster, but because you and your opponent's movements and reactions have slowed down." Zhang Yi tried to explain.But he even heard this pattern from other people's mouths, and even Wang Lung and Wacker couldn't fully explain it.

"So, it's impossible for us to master it?" Robert closed his eyes and began to fantasize about that state, but nothing happened after half a day. "Maybe, it's a trait." Zhang Yi said with a big smile.

Wally and Robert seemed a little disappointed. "It's just that Thomas seems to be able to learn it in no time. He's really annoying. My talent shouldn't be worse than him!"

Hearing Robert's words, Zhang Yi's face suddenly sank, "No, that guy is very dangerous, I can feel it, and it will be even more difficult to fight against him in the future..."

The atmosphere in the room between the three suddenly became awkward. "Of course, I will take care of his part!" Zhang Yi said and jumped onto the bed. "Haha, I was almost scared by you." Wally and Robert laughed while sitting on the cushions.

"Don't fight the Bucks, give me another chance to show off!" "Good idea!"
