New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 354 Jaina's Strategy
Simpkins' defense is of course useful. Not to mention Zhang Yi's strong offense, even Thomas, who has a richer arsenal, has no sense of being defended in front of him.

There is a certain element of luck in Zhang Yi's ability to make this shot.It's just that Zhang Yi's shots have always been softer, so even if the chances are not good, he can always score incredible goals.

This can also be regarded as one of the advantages of the Oriental. His wrist is particularly soft, which helps him to change his gestures whether it is a layup or a shot, making it very difficult for opponents to defend.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Simpkins should have advanced the ball.But their head coach winked and let Raj regain possession.

This is of course to reduce the burden on Simpkins, because now Zhang Yi is playing more and more aggressively.The Spurs will always need Simpkins' defense to put pressure on their opponents in the next game.

It's just that this ball is not simply given to Raj, after all, his disadvantages are already obvious.Regardless of whether Zhang Yi continues to defend the outside line, the Spurs' offense can still easily enter a dead ball state.

Simpkins' favorite position to receive the ball is exactly where Wally and Zhang Yi have focused on marking in advance.Wacker has led the Lakers to do a lot of defensive training before the game.

Of course, the purpose is to wait until dealing with Simpkins, a high-scoring scorer who doesn't like to often play singles and likes to catch the ball, and is not so comfortable to receive the ball and then shoot.

The Spurs will be greatly affected by the change they make.First cut off the connection between Raj and Felton, and then let Simpkins go to the diagonal position where it is not easy to receive the ball.

Then let Zhang Yi, who has the strongest defensive ability, block the only way for Raj to pass to Simpkins.It can be said that the Spurs have defended all possible offensive tactics of the Spurs in all directions.

If it weren't for the last resort, Raj chose to sway his opponent and then go to the basket.Although breakthroughs are not his strong point, his speed and explosive power are not bad either.

When there is a tall center to support the inside, Raj can either choose to layup or choose to wear inside.Wall-E's attention was always on Simpkins.

The Spurs suddenly changed their style of play, and Wacker also sweated for the team, because if the opponent wins, it means that the set of tactics he trained will lose its core influence.

Their formation is to confuse Raj, who is not strong in organization, but if he can't even control him, then of course others will get out of the control of the defense.

Because the Lakers are switching point guards who are good at offense, if Raj is really smart, he should have increased his offense with the ball long ago.

Simpkins also heaved a sigh of relief at this point. Fortunately, he reminded him at just the right time.Just when Raj looked like he was about to make a layup.

The only one who can make up for the past is Wal-E.At this time, the Spurs and Simpkins moved inside at the same time. One opened his hands to catch the ball under the basket, and the other ran to the outside in the opposite direction...

Even if Zhang Yi was concentrating, Raj was so distracted that he didn't notice Simpkins' movements.Of course, this matter is fatal, because the three-pointer of the "mechanical killer" is also very accurate now.

No matter how weak Raj's organizational ability is, seeing that the core of his team has moved to his best three-point spot, of course he still needs three points instead of two points!

When the basketball flew past Zhang Yi's visual range, Simpkins caught the ball and shot it steadily, making a three-pointer into the frame.The Spurs' offense was activated again.

There is no way to blame Zhang Yi for losing his defensive position, because the opponent's transition attack was too good.Whether it's Raj's change of play or the support of the center, including Simpkins' movement.

That's the team that's been on the move.Regardless of whether Felton has been guarded to death by the Lakers, he has not stopped for a moment, let alone others!

This is the fundamental reason why the Spurs, whose individual offense was not top-notch except for Simpkins, were able to play one of the best offenses in the league.

If the Lakers can play the league's best offense because of the talent of their players, especially Zhang Yi and Robert can always speed up the pace of the game.

And while they increased their tempo, the Lakers' overall offense did not collapse, and even when they fell into position, they could play a good rotation ball.

But the problem with the Lakers is that they rely too much on starters, and their defense is not very good.Once the lineup is changed, not only will the offense fail, but it may even become a one-on-one situation.

Most of the players Jaina chooses are individual players with individual abilities, but not so good at integrating into the collective.This is also impossible.

After all, they don't want to sign a random star this year, and there will definitely be various problems with these mercenaries.

The goal of the Lakers this year is of course to win the championship.It's just that it doesn't matter if there is no championship bonus.

If Zhang Yi, Robert and Wally can stay healthy, then their better and better performance will definitely become the best sign for the Lakers to attract stars.

It doesn't matter whether the current signature of the Lakers is Zhang Yi, whether he is a first-year rookie or not.Of course, the most wanted thing of many stars who have been suppressed by the Golden State Warriors for so many years is the championship ring.

In the Spurs, they don't get attention, and they have to be forced into the rhythm of the team.As for whether it can take away the position of the team boss from Simpkins, it is even more delusional.

But the Lakers are not like this. No matter how strong Zhang Yi is, as long as he hasn't won hard honors, he is still a rookie.And he got the basic salary of a rookie.

Regardless of the star, the starting maximum salary offered by the Lakers can hit the championship and even be one of the best in the big market.It is simply the favorite holy place of basketball stars.

This is the core reason why the Lakers have received attention this year.If they can play a winning streak, and even go to the Western Conference Finals to challenge the Warriors in the playoffs.

After Curry really retires, the Lakers will immediately become the target of many stars vying to quit.Jaina's shrewdness is here.

She doesn't want to ask others to do things now. Next summer, the Lakers can just quietly wait for the big fish to jump into the pot by itself.In this way, you can spend less effort and not provoke anyone's interests. Why not do it.

The current lineup of the Lakers can be regarded as a championship lineup, but except for Zhang Yi, the rest do not have this strength.So it's a surprise to be able to play so well now.

As for a team like the Spurs is a strong contender for this year's championship, the result of this game will also determine many people's speculation about this year's championship!
