New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 279

A really good player is that when he puts all his energy on defense, he can play at the level of DPOY!Curry is the only point guard best defensive player after Stockton, who is known as the strongest white guard.

Zhang Yi's height, wingspan, speed, and strength can all be regarded as top players in the 3rd position. The basic conditions are in place. The biggest question now is whether he has the skills and awareness, and whether he can fulfill this ability...

The reason why Barnes' body can get the maximum salary is not only because of countless three-pointers next to Curry.What's more important is his explosiveness and amazing lateral speed.

These two qualities are simply a gift from God for a shooter.Shooting posture and skills can be learned through training. Even if he can't reach the top, the explosive power of his upper body can make his shots faster than 9% of the league's shooters.

Even Curry, known as the league's top scorer, once praised Barnes as Klay Thompson, who was more explosive back then!Although the two of them have different positions on the court, their offensive methods and super scoring explosive power are exactly the same.

It's just that Barnes' personal offensive ability has not been developed, otherwise he has the potential to become a superstar.When he can score 25 points per game for a skill, Barnes has already slacked off.

If he can come up with more persistent training and exploration for a higher level, then the current boss of the Timberwolves will not become a cancer in the eyes of the boss and coach.

Barnes, who is now shooting three-pointers, is the madman who always suddenly goes berserk on the court!Robert became the ghost of his first shot.

Although they made a three-pointer, the Lakers counterattacked quickly.If the Timberwolves play bombardment, then the Lakers are a typical defensive counterattack team.After so many games, they really fell into position and played slowly. The rounds may not add up to a quarter.

With Zhang Yi and Robert, two fast-moving fast-break masters, the threat of the Lakers playing fast is far greater than other teams.At this time, a stable, creative point guard with an overall view is extremely important.

If it is said that the Lakers are relying on the Bruins three heroes for their unbeaten results, then this is really unreasonable, because Oscar is the brain of the team, who can get double-digit assists per game and jump to the forefront of the league assist list. He is also an important part.

With this ball, when Robert bypassed Barnes and began to charge quickly, Oscar actually sent the ball between the legs of the chasing wolf king...

"Cool, it turned out to be wearing crotch!" The on-site commentators were all excited, because this might be a great insult to the defenders!
The timing of the pass is so good!This is the patent of a good point guard. When Robert catches the ball easily, the whole fast-playing rhythm is not disrupted at all.

In addition, there was a faster Zhang Yi on the left, and the two of them sandwiched Barnes, who was desperately chasing and defending, in the middle, making it impossible for him to defend...

When Robert jumped up, Zhang Yi also flew up at the same time, and Barnes was completely stunned.Because even if the ball jumped up to defend, it would be the end of the background board, so he didn't take off at all but watched Robert dunk and score!
After the two landed, they clapped hands to celebrate. This is a common occurrence in the cooperation between Zhang Yi and Robert. They have dunks like this in every stadium they go to!
The reason why the Lakers' offense is as stable as dogs is not only the talents of the two of them, but also Oscar's mentality is super stable.Throughout the entire league, he may be the only man who has no offensive ability and will never be underestimated!

The Timberwolves coach looked a little ugly, because if they couldn't play an effective defense to prevent the Lakers from scoring easily, then they wouldn't be able to win the game even if they shot a three-pointer. The rhythm of the two teams was too different.

It's just that calling a timeout just at the beginning will not provide any help to these guys who have not yet fully entered the state.If Zhang Yi handed it over to a player like Barnes who disdains defense, it would be nothing.

Besides, in order to improve the team's shooting ability, the Timberwolves originally reduced their defensive ability.This group of people has speed but few really focus on defense.

There is definitely a reason why the substitute is not worthy of starting. The NBA is a place where strength speaks. The Timberwolves' best defensive players are all on the bench.

So this is what the Timberwolves coach doesn't like about Barnes, because he is too picky about his teammates.If you are next to a player like Curry who is both offensive and defensive and can open up space, you can have any three-point opportunities.

For other teams, let alone the Timberwolves do not have the capital, the place where he can really shine is the super offensive team like the New York Knicks!
After changing sides and fighting again, the Timberwolves' offense still played as the tactics formulated before the game.It's still a crossover, but this time because Zhang Yi moved ahead of time.So after covering with the shooting guard, Barnes found that the person in front of him was still that annoying yellow-skinned kid...

"Damn it!" Barnes wanted to use his good lateral movement to sway his opponent away, but Zhang Yi's speed was also not slow, and it was not a good shooting opportunity to open a little distance.

This is the outside line of the Timberwolves and several people stopped running, because this is not a conventional tactic.The changes that were decided shortly before the game were of course full of loopholes.

It's just that this time the point guard saw that Barnes had no chance, so he didn't make a strong pass, but suddenly started to go inside.

This is of course in Oscar's favor, because breakthrough defense is his forte.I saw that Oscar got stuck in the opponent's forward route one step at a time.The body quickly pressed down like a matador staring at the running bull!
"You can't pass!" Hearing the sudden roar, the player was stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Oscar reached out and immediately copied the basketball...

Just as if he had waited, Robert rushed up again!Ever watch football?The Lakers' offense definitely learned from their skills, because one person rushes up like a shoulder, and the others chase and block helplessly. What is it if it's not football...

Then he was beaten into a defensive counterattack!The Timberwolves coach covered his face, because these two possessions basically proved that his vision was just a fantasy.

Reluctantly, he signaled a timeout to the referee.Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Timberwolves were stopped.Even if Barnes has space, he still can't lead the team to the lead, which also means that here, this player is no longer the talented shooter of the past...

The Timberwolves replaced their regular starting lineup. This is a lineup with both offense and defense, but it would be better if there is a third position with a balanced offense and defense, so Zhang Yi makes the head coach jealous.
