New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 231 Against Simpkins
Version 1.0 of "Mechanical Killer" Simpkins' famous skill is the defensive skill of Death Coil.This ability allowed him to get the affirmation of DPOY at a young age.

Of course, at this time almost all ball critics have denied his offensive ability, and a player with only half functions on the court cannot become a superstar.There was a period of attention on him, but the fad passed quickly.

Little Curry is the absolute signature of the NBA, and even the Knicks' "crazy" Thomas is much better than this Simpkins in everyone's eyes.After all, there are many players with high defensive efficiency, and Curry himself has won the best defender award.

Strong offense is what attracts people.Spurs coach Foley also showed Simpkins a lot of highlights of Thomas' offense.One must know that seeing this offensive maniac face to face is enough to perform well, and now seeing his face-to-face highlights, even the cold and uncommunicative Simpkins jumped up excitedly.

If you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you must develop a bloody offensive ability!Also from last year, Simpkins trained crazily throughout the offseason, making [-] jump shots, [-] three-pointers, and [-] breakthroughs every training day!Three five hundred plans completely changed the defensive sharp knife.

In order to increase his mobility and explosive power, he also lost weight appropriately to reduce body fat as much as possible and exercise muscle toughness.

Foley didn't expect this kid to be so determined, and he didn't believe how a player could be reborn in just a few months.If it is said that honor is easy to sink, then Hipkins is definitely not that kind of person, because he has absolute confidence in his ruthless performance!
After the start of the new season, the 2.0 version of Simpkins' score has skyrocketed from 15+ to 30+, from a small forward who is not good at scoring to a crazy scoring machine.

The most important thing is that the Spurs head coach has completely improved the team's tactics for him, obviously to allow Simpkins to win this season's scoring champion and regular season MVP!

After all, the Holy City has not had such a strong player for a long time, so the attendance rate during this period has exploded, even surpassing the legendary era!
At the beginning, Simpkins really managed to sweep the scoring list, steals list and blocks list, and the Spurs' record in the new season is indeed good.The football critic instantly raised his star status to a superstar position!
And the situation where Curry and Thomas have been competing for the hegemony has become a three-way battle!Thomas, in particular, really saw a threat in Simpkins.So as long as the opponent plays a highlight performance, Thomas will immediately respond with a more explosive performance!

This kind of competition between stars has not appeared in anyone other than Curry and Thomas.Too many stars are willing to fall behind, and Simpkins has also taught everyone that these two are not unchallengeable!

Of course, the final result is that Thomas won the scoring champion and even the final regular season MVP, but the only problem is that Simpkins suffered a wrist injury in the middle of the season in a good situation.

Although he wants to play with injuries, the Spurs are not such a messy team.This player is the future cornerstone of their rise, how could he pay hastily on the spur of the moment.

No matter how advanced the technology is, muscle injuries can only recuperate slowly.The three-hero battle that everyone loves to see has changed back to a game between Curry and Thomas.

After two months, Simpkins is back, and his ranking in the regular season MVP has dropped out of the top five.

When Thomas won the MVP trophy, he even threatened that he deserved it, which made Simpkins, the third candidate sitting off the court, black face all the way.If he has no injuries, this award is really hard to say.

The Spurs have won the second record in the Western Conference, and he may win the scoring, steals and blocks, but no matter how unconvinced, this result is already a fact!

It's not uncommon for an injury to ruin a player in the NBA, but this season Simpkins didn't relax his training for a moment, and he only had one goal and that was to defeat Thomas...

Even getting the MVP was second, Thomas' words kept him up at night, thinking over and over how he could get revenge!
But after seeing the preseason match between him and Zhang Yi, and more importantly, after the confrontation at the end of the second quarter, Simpkins immediately reacted, and the opponent became stronger, and he had never had this kind of quality. .

Now it's his turn to fight Zhang Yi, so Simpkins can't wait to fight him, hoping that he can also activate this powerful power, otherwise he will only distance himself from the 'crazy grab' .

The generals of the Spurs and the Lakers sat on the floor together, discussing excitedly as if they were watching a field game, and some even set up a bet.Obviously, the Spurs have many people betting on Simpkins to win, and almost everyone on the Lakers thinks that Zhang Yi will win!
When Wacker and Foley spoke, everyone fell silent.Zhang Yi faced Simpkins with the ball. The two were of the same height, but the opponent's wingspan and weight were an advantage.

I saw him possessing the ball and starting to control the ball, and Simpkins didn't give him room to start.The moment his ankle exerted strength, he immediately moved forward and got stuck in front of his forward leg.

"Well, this guy is really good at defending!" Strong defense and dirty defense are two concepts, and Zhang Yi has to admire his opponent for this.First use your footsteps to seal the opponent's movement space, and then use your two long arms to look for various opportunities to complete the steal.

"Is it possible to attack?" "It's very strenuous! But it's not impossible!" Zhang Yi suddenly sneered, then immediately retreated half a step, controlled the ball to the right and went to the basket. be surprised.

This "mechanical killer" also directly defended "Scrambler" Thomas. He always thought that this guy might be the fastest first step player in the league, but now Zhang Yi's speed can't judge who is faster with the naked eye.

After being broken through, Simpkins didn't follow the defense and watched Zhang Yifei score a layup.Because he knows that there is no point in following defense.The level of experience of this rookie is beyond his imagination.

Simpkins, who entered the league at the age of 19, was underestimated by the Nets and traded to the Spurs at the beginning because he was too young, but at almost the same age, Zhang Yi has become a star of the Los Angeles Lakers. people will be unwilling.

Simpkins smiled wryly, then his eyes became firm. "It was just a trial just now, but I haven't taken it seriously yet." Hearing this, Zhang Yi also smiled, "It's the same thing! Well, you can start to be serious!"

"Show your qualities, or you won't get any points!" Zhang Yi frowned, "Anyone can say something, if you have the ability, show it!"
