New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 350 Simpkins' Status

No matter how Wacker reminds Zhang Yi, the factors of belief in basketball players will only affect a part, and the dominant factor in winning or losing is strength.

The strength of the San Antonio Spurs is not reflected in Simpkins' personal strength, although it is undeniable that his personal ability has driven the team's defense and offense.

But it is undeniable that every position of the Spurs team is tightly locked together like a gear, which is the real reason for their strength.

And this is the 25th game of the running-in period of this Spurs lineup. God knows what kind of chemical reaction they will have when they stimulate each other to their strongest state.

At least now people see them in almost perfect condition.Although there is no absolute height inside, no one will underestimate this Hook who has always been full of energy.

In comparison, the Spurs are not a typical five-small lineup, after all, their main tactic is not to play fast.This is not quite the same as the current general tactics.

Of course, they can also carry out quick counterattacks or effective quick attacks.But unless it is an absolutely safe fast break opportunity, Raj, who is the core of the ball, will lead the team to play fast.

This in itself is also an effective way to improve offensive efficiency.Too many teams are obsessed with fast offense, which also means the emergence of fast defense.

People will never know who is the leader of the offense, because for a long time, NBA teams switch between offense and defense so fast that the game is very good when the touch is good. There will be a 180 degree turn.

The Spurs have never liked three-pointers, which can almost be written in their team history.Although no one can relax the outside level of today's double guns.

The meaning of Simpkins' existence as a stable core is to keep the team operating at the right level.This is the core of the training of the Spurs.

Even if you can't see Simpkins scoring wildly, or humiliating the opponent's offense time and time again.But the Spurs are his team, which is even more obvious than the Warriors relying on Curry and the Lakers relying on Zhang Yi!
There are very few teams that rely on a certain star in the current game, because everyone's standards are generally improving.A star's inaccurate state sometimes does not affect the overall situation.

This is also the way the NBA has evaluated strong teams for a long time.But Simpkins' impact on the Spurs goes beyond that.

When he is not on the court, the Spurs can continue to win, but the way to win is not the tactical system they are used to.

It can be said that the Spurs without Simpkins is still a strong team, but he is not the Spurs!
There may be no other star in the league who has such an effect on a team.Of course, Zhang Yi also saw this in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

If little Curry is an existence he may always look up to, after all, it may take decades for a player who can approach the god of basketball to come out with such a player.

No matter how confident Zhang Yi is, he will not think that one day he can completely rule the alliance like Curry.Even if other stars team up to block the Warriors, they can't win any championship.

But in Zhang Yi's view, Simpkins is indeed a goal he can achieve.This man is admired and admired by Zhang Yi in many places.

He is not a high-profile person himself, which is very similar to Simpkins.How to be like him, even the most low-key star on the team, still undoubtedly affects the team.

Zhang Yi can not improve his skills for the time being, because now he has already dealt with most of the games and opponents' provocations.

These are also things that Wang Long and Wacker have laid a solid foundation for Zhang Yi over the years.But now he must gradually and thoroughly grasp the dominance of the team.

Just like Simpkins did.The goal of the current Lakers is not to replace the Warriors, because such a vision is too arrogant.

A team that won 5 championships in 5 finals is so easy to surpass.Correspondingly, the San Antonio Spurs are the opponents that the current Lakers can learn from and can challenge.

Because in any case, with the retirement of Curry, the era of the Warriors will eventually pass.

However, just like after the Chicago Bulls dynasty, the San Antonio Spurs were accepted.And the next Lakers dynasty was also obtained after defeating the Spurs.

Whether it is from historical considerations or from the strength of the team this season.The Lakers are not the strongest team, the San Antonio Spurs are!
And their current record is already very good, they have only lost 4 games so far, and these 4 games were all concentrated when the team was adjusting the lineup.

Since the Spurs came up with this set of starters, they haven't lost a single time.As long as they can win the Lakers again, their perfect lineup will be proven once again.

Now that the game has restarted, the Lakers seem to have no major problems with their offense.Both Zhang Yi and Robert are actively looking for opportunities to attack the frame.

But in fact, none of them played tactics that they were usually good at.Zhang Yi was forced to the outside line by Simpkins.Three-pointers are not his conventional weapon. What's more deadly is that Zhang Yi has almost been kicked out of the Lakers' tactical system now.

Others' balls cannot be passed to his hands.If he controls the ball, can he create opportunities for others through the breakthrough and distribution that he is good at? This is the effect of Simpkins' defense.

Not to mention Robert, who has transformed into a catch-and-shooter, although he has a breakthrough.But it doesn't mean that his breakthrough with the ball can have an effect on the Spurs' basket.

After all, the opponent is not just a strong team that defends the outside line. The reason why a five-small lineup with an average height of not low is to obtain an absolute matchup advantage in each position.

For example, Robert is an example now. Apart from being tall and fast, the most obvious feature of Felton defending him is his quick response!
Golf IQ is also a common trait of the Spurs players, God knows how they found this when they drafted.This is also where other teams can't envy.

No matter how Robert runs, he wants to move to the perimeter for the familiar three-point shot.In the end, Felton was pulled to the basket, because in the Lakers' tactical system, strong three-pointers are the biggest problem.

It is impossible for Robert to provoke Wacker's tactics and rules, so in order to keep the team's offense from stagnating.He can only play the role of shooting guard to force a breakthrough and score!

It's just that his physical condition was considered good in the NCAA before, but in the NBA it can only be said to be above average.

Felton couldn't defend alone, coupled with Hooker's assisting defense at the basket, he directly killed Robert's offense.In this regard, the Lakers' offense has stalled!
