New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 238 Defeating the Spurs
Simpkins' defense restrains most of the strikers in the league, but it doesn't mean that he can restrain opponents like Zhang Yi with various offensive methods throughout the game.

If Simpkins is like Erlang God, then Zhang Yi is like Monkey King.He controlled the first half, and now it's time for Zhang Yi to show off.

The Spurs coach originally wanted to test Zhang Yi's ability, and by the way, lay a foundation for Simpkins' popularity.After all, many football critics now habitually ignore this "mechanical killer" when discussing the strongest players in the league.It is absolutely great to use Curry's successor as a stepping stone now.

Then it became a battle between the two of them.The offense of the Los Angeles Lakers is completely handed over to Zhang Yi. They have tested many lineups, but obviously, the depth of this team cannot activate the true strength of Zhang Yi, Robert and Wally.

Let them cooperate to play tactics and even the effect may not be as efficient as connecting these three with each other or playing singles.Defensive players like Simpkins and Tate in front of him also happen to be the time to test these two offensive strengths.

Robert has proved that the current offense is not enough to break Tate's defense, and Zhang Yi has become the last hope of the Los Angeles Lakers.Wacker didn't just say let him play singles, but it doesn't matter, everything you want to see in this game has already been seen.

The audience obviously prefer to watch the duel between these two superstars, so the atmosphere of the scene, which has been not so hot, is gradually heating up.

Zhang Yi once again swung past Simpkins and made a jump shot. Fans of Xiaoyi, the "Oriental Cooking God" at the scene, also started screaming, because he suppressed the first half, and now his offensive and stable performance is his original strength.

Simpkins frowned and muttered words, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with his defense just now.Although he can still beat Zhang Yi in offense.

As the last one-on-one defender in the league, he knows the defender's thoughts well, so he can always shoot at the most suitable time and state, which also makes his shooting rate extremely high.

Entering the third quarter, Zhang Yi, who had only scored 10 points, broke out and scored 12 points 18 minutes later.Although Simpkins was equally efficient and deadly, he scored 36 points in three quarters.But it can be seen that Zhang Yi cannot be guarded, which makes him very upset.

The scores of the two teams also rose alternately, and the audience watched it very well, so they didn't pay attention to any tactical confrontation.Buying a ticket to enter the arena to watch is nothing more than star confrontation.

When Zhang Yi knocked over the Spurs' inside line with a split buckle, the audience erupted into deafening applause.Simpkins was helpless, how could his opponent suddenly act so strong when he obviously didn't enter that special state?
"It seems that Zhang Yi has found his own form!" James said to Wang Long who was sitting beside him. They had made a bet before, which of these two would get the highest score.He thought that Wang Long would definitely choose Zhang Yi, but he didn't expect that the person who finally bet on this Dongfang boy with the highest score in the game was himself.

"But Zhang Yi is only 28 points now, he can't defend against Simpkins, and you must lose the final bet." Wang Long said indifferently. "Hey, don't forget, it's your apprentice who is playing on the court."

James is a little confused, because Long has not been very confident in Zhang Yi today, which is obviously a bit abnormal.They didn't fly all the way to San Antonio to watch such a dull scene, and now the game is a bit interesting.Moreover, no one in the entire basketball circle knew about these two secretly watching the game.

Neither Zhang Yi nor Simpkins could do anything to each other, and this situation did not end until the fourth quarter.Because Zhang Yi's body was finally hot enough.

I saw that when he faced Simpkins' attack, he finally turned on the 'black hole mode' again.The opponent immediately sensed that something was wrong, and who had planned to break through just now stopped.But Zhang Yi's body moved first. For some reason, his hand suddenly appeared in the path of Simpkins' ball control, and he succeeded in stealing the ball like lightning in an instant!
"Fuck, this is the trait? So strong!" Zhang Yi rushed forward after stealing the ball. Simpkins didn't chase at all, because he knew that speed was not his forte.

Zhang Yi jumped up after crossing the free throw line, his body seemed to take off in the air... With a bang, one of his giant palms dunked into the frame!
Half of the audience stood up and cheered, because dunks of this quality are not seen in ordinary games.And there are not many white people in the league who can dance like this, let alone Zhang Yi is a yellow man!

"Awesome! Yi, you're finally awake!" Wali excitedly raised his hands and clapped Zhang Yi, who said with a smile, "Your body is warming up, it's not too late now."

Simpkins deliberately bumped Zhang Yi's chest, "Don't think I will admit defeat, come again!" Hearing this, Zhang Yi became cold, "I was just about to say that you should not just admit defeat casually... ..."

James pushed Wang Long beside him, "Did you see that? My bet on Zhang Yi was definitely right. They are only six points away now, two three-pointers!"

Wang Long shook his head, thinking why this old guy was so interested in Zhang Yi, there must be something wrong. "I said you don't pay attention to your grandson, what the hell are you running here to watch Zhang Yi's game?"

The reason for saying this is because Wang Long knew that James' son specially invited them to participate in James III's first battle today.

The strength of this James III is much lower than that of his grandfather and father, and he was selected by the Blazers in the first round entirely because of his family's reputation.Although the preseason has been played for a long time, the third-generation star has not played because of a finger contusion.

Today's game against the Orleans Hornets is his first show, but it is obvious that James has no interest in this little grandson. In order to avoid his family's nagging, he took Wang Long to fly directly to San Antonio to appear here.

Zhang Yi continues to use the 'black hole mode' on the court, although his body is still in the overdrawn stage.But with Tony's help, he has been able to extend the use time to about 5 minutes.And this will not continue to increase the burden on the body.

Facing Zhang Yi like this, Simpkins suddenly became helpless. He was intercepted and blocked, and he was completely blocked by his opponent on the offensive end.

The Spurs coach didn't call a timeout, because there was nothing to adjust.Once Zhang Yi broke out, he couldn't stop it.This can be seen from his confrontation with 'crazy' Thomas.

Before the end of the game, Zhang Yi hit a three-pointer, which not only took away the victory of the game, but also increased his personal score to 40 points. His personal data surpassed Simpkins and became the best in the game.

And everyone can see that Zhang Yi, who is playing well, is a level stronger than Simpkins...

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Simpkins couldn't figure out why Thomas could quickly comprehend it, but he couldn't. "God knows!" Zhang Yi replied with a smile, and the Los Angeles Lakers added another win!
