New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 271 The Lakers' Princeton Style of Play

Zhang Yi is still the core of the Lakers' tactics, but it is more complicated than the simple tactics at the beginning.To prevent further mistakes.Wally now mentions the high position to start as an organization center.

In fact, in Wacker's vision, the Lakers' tactics in the future will be based on Princeton tactics.Although this tactic is already considered an antique level.But there will be a day when there is a basketball game, and this tactic will exist.

Although Wally's current support ability has not been fully developed, it is obvious that with Zhang Yi as an important firepower attraction point, their off-ball play is much more powerful than other teams.

When Oscar and Robert started to run without the ball, the overall defense that was originally focused on Zhang Yi was instantly dispersed to many places.Coupled with Zhang Yi's air cut behind the screen, Wali directly blocked Casma behind him.

Without this biggest defensive threat, Zhang Yi's attack after receiving the ball is much easier.Because the Wizards' center defensive radius is not very large.Even if he let go of Wally to prevent Zhang Yi from going down quickly, it is obvious that the speed and blocking quality are far behind Cosma.

See the evolution of the Los Angeles Lakers.The live commentary was also surprising.In their opinion, Wally's height and weight are not outstanding, and he doesn't have any gorgeous back and frame attack skills, so everyone didn't take him seriously.

Now being used by Wacker in this way is both reasonable and unexpected.It can be seen from this attack that this Wali's ball is very fast.And I don't know where the big picture comes from, it's not mechanically looking for opportunities to feed Zhang Yi.

The Wizards didn't call a timeout right away, because even if the opponent's offense was better, Princeton's key tactical playmaker needed a high level of tactical literacy. No one believed that Wally could quickly make correct judgments every time.

And because Varanda exists, the Wizards' offense will not have problems.The defensive lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers is not good, because there is a pair of guards who are not very good at defense, Robert and Oscar.

Varanda's own offensive ability is very strong, and Nopton, driven by him, is basically waiting to make a shot, and then has nothing to score.Because it's just a simple run between the two of them that can throw off the defense.

At this time, it might be better to give up Robert and replace with a newly traded 3D player.But Wacker will not let Robert miss the opportunity to exercise, after all, he will become the main force of the standard in the future.

Although both Robert and Wally were players who could be put into the rotation in Wack's plan at the beginning, after playing these games, Robert's ability on the offensive end really exceeded his expectations.

It's just that now, it's really easier for the Lakers to rely on Princeton's tactics in their offense, and there will never be any major problems with Zhang Yi.

After hesitating for a round, Wacker pressed Robert to the bench for a rest.The opponent did not change the lineup in a targeted manner.

There is no big problem with the strength of the current starting five of the Wizards, although there is a lot of room for improvement in every position except Varanda.But the most problematic thing now is actually the bench.

Because of the poor performance, the Wizards accumulated a lot of junk contracts.Many retired players are in the Wizards, and many of them are either reimbursed for the season or are no longer NBA players at all.

Therefore, in the first three games, the main force of the Wizards took the lead to open the score, and they would lose back as soon as they entered the rotation.If it weren't for the great performance of Varanda and others, they might not have won the three-game winning streak.

Now the Los Angeles Lakers have the capital to make personnel adjustments.The Wizards can only continue to use the main force.When Varanda said that there was no need to change the lineup, the head coach still regarded him as a bit of a secondary, at least a little impulsive.

Although now Varanda has proved with his own strength, there is not much problem with his original statement.But now there is a problem with the team's rotation. Even if the regular season can be supported without changing players, it will wait until the bayonet-seeking playoffs.Regardless of whether there will be injuries to the starting five, even if everything is normal, it is impossible to go too far.

According to Varanda's recent performance, the Wizards boss actually has the idea of ​​​​introducing stars.If the previous Washington was a black hole in the basketball world, then the big sun of Varanda has already illuminated the future of the team.

If you really recruit good players in the free market, it should be much easier than at the beginning of the off-season.

When the Lakers are on offense, their positioning changes all the time.The so-called people move the ball.As an organization center, Wally still looks a little nervous.But he is very experienced in cooperating with Zhang Yi or Oscar.

The Wizards couldn't find a way to solve the Lakers' offense at all. They could only watch Oscar make a three-pointer after running out of space and make a steady hit.

And in turn, the situation became even more unfavorable for them.Because Robert, who is good at offense but not good at defense, was taken down.Now the defensive No. 2 position also brought big trouble to Knopton.

The defense that could be thrown away by a pick-and-roll in the past is now sticking to him like a dog's skin plaster, so that the outside pass and outside cooperation between Varanda and him can't be played at all.

In addition, Oscar, who is used to Varanda's offensive mode, can also use his own experience to analyze and block some passing routes, which makes Varanda, known as the "magician", exhaust every shot!
The current game situation is gradually falling to the side of the Los Angeles Lakers.Although the home fans kept cheering, it is obvious that there is still a big gap in the depth of the two teams' lineups.

Even if the Wizards coach wanted to make personnel adjustments, he faced a situation where no one was available.They can only rely on the existing lineup and it is now like this.

At the end of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers gradually gained a score advantage.And obviously, Varanda is still assisting and scoring efficiently.But he is still alone.

Zhang Yi limited Cosma's offense very well, and Nopton was beaten by a defensive veteran again.Although Walli is not particularly good defensively against the inside center, it is more than enough to deal with a second-rate space center.

"This is not Varanda's problem. The strength gap between the two teams is still too great!" The on-site commentator also said helplessly.Because after taking out the Princeton tactics, the Lakers played more and more smoothly.

And Wall-E did a good job, which disappointed those who expected him to make mistakes and self-destruct tactics...

In the first official match against Zhang Yi, Varanda undoubtedly showed a more comprehensive performance, but this does not represent the team's victory or defeat.
