New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 355 Strength Ceiling

The Spurs' offense has new tactics, and the Lakers are in trouble again.And in the following rounds, the opponent's defensive quality was better, which made the point difference wider and wider.

Before the end of the half, the Lakers, which had played the second consecutive season opening record in history, were already 14 points behind.This is also the biggest point difference they have trailed at halftime this year.

"The strength of the Spurs is really strong. It is impossible not to admit it. Especially Simpkins drove their offense and defense. Raj just made a simple adjustment, and the Lakers' defense will not work immediately!"

The commentary said the same thing.Although the Lakers are also very strong, otherwise how could they get such a terrifying winning percentage, but in comparison, the Spurs still have the advantage in terms of overall strength.

During the intermission, Zhang Yi rarely listened to Wacker's words and covered his face with a wet towel.

After playing against Simpkins for such a long time, even though Zhang Yi has no problems on the surface, he is really tired physically.He is not the kind of physique that is prone to sweating, which also makes it difficult to release the pressure accumulated in the body.

Seeing this, Wacker had no choice but to let Zhang Yi rest more in the second half.And he is so tired, and Simpkins, who is on the opposite side of the offense and defense, must be even more so.

It's just that he underestimated Simpkins a bit.The reason why this guy is called the 'mechanical killer' is because the audience doesn't think he will be tired after a game.

After all, during the peak period, when the Spurs lacked personnel rotation and played key battles, Simpkins often played the whole game without resting for 1 minute.

But he has never been physically exhausted. It's like running a marathon. Everyone else collapsed on the ground and became a dog after crossing the line. In the end, he continued to circle like a normal person.

Players with this special physique are already rare, and their physical strength is like a volcano.The key is that Simpkins' offense and defense are so balanced, which makes the opponent's core often exhausted by him.

Zhang Yi did not rest for a minute in the first half.Although his physical fitness is also very good, but he is so tough with Simpkins, and every attack after that is very difficult, so the physical exertion is completely beyond the load.

The current situation is even more unfavorable for the Lakers. After all, they are counting on the offense of Robert and Zhang Yi. Of course, these two people are indispensable, otherwise many cooperations will not be able to be played at all.

Wali and the others also felt distressed when they saw Zhang Yi who was exhausted like a dog, but none of them could share it for him.Because apart from Zhang Yi, no one can guard against Simpkins.

Even Zhang Yi couldn't really stop the opponent's offense in the first half. After all, the opponent still scored 24 points efficiently in front of him.

In contrast, Zhang Yi didn't get many chances, and some of them were barely shot. In the end, he only scored 10 points on 4 of 18 shots.Of course he also had 6 assists and 7 rebounds.

The reason why the Lakers lost so many points is also because since Raj changed his tactics, their defensive counterattacks have basically disappeared.

This is their best scoring method, and it doesn't matter if it's all turned into a positional battle now, whoever makes the opponent a defensive team.No matter how the ball is passed, the Lakers players only feel that the opponent is like a lingering ghost who can always pounce on him.

Biting is the best defensive method for Spurs players!And not only the five starters of the Spurs, but also their bench players were educated in this way.

Anyone who wants to play in the Spurs must first defend solidly, which has become a history of their team.

The on-site commentary is also the first time that the Lakers will not be able to turn the game in the second half.

"It can be seen that the Lakers' winning streak will be broken tonight. Because they have nothing to do with the Spurs' defense. Even Zhang Yi hasn't played a pleasing offense. How else can they rely on the Spurs? "

Of course, if someone hates it, someone will praise it, because only this kind of commentary will be watched.

"I think the Lakers still have a chance. Because the fast offense they are best at has not yet been played. They waste too much energy on defense. I think the defensive strength of the first position should be appropriately improved."

"Raj is now the starting point of the Spurs' offense. Although his organizational skills are not strong, his breakthrough skills are good. It is obvious that the ability of the No. [-] player arranged by the Lakers does not match him at all."

While the commentators were giving the Lakers various tricks, Duncan fell asleep in such a noisy environment while sitting in the audience.

This makes LeBron James look at this enviously. After all, a good sleep quality is more precious than how much money you take advantage of when you get old.

And this guy's heart is too big. Although this game is not a wonderful match between the tip of the needle and Maimang, at least he played an excellent offensive and defensive transition, and he can still fall asleep. He really doesn't understand.

In fact, since the player era, he and Duncan are not players in the same world.There are many teams competing to be bad, but one entered the league with a high profile, and even made a personal documentary soon.

The other is a low-key player who played silently in a small ball market for more than ten years and even rarely appeared in the entertainment news.

They are equally great, but their personalities and backgrounds make them run counter to each other.Recall Duncan's famous saying to James that 'the future is yours'!
Duncan is definitely not serious, because he and James are people from two worlds.The future of the little emperor was not given by Duncan. They are like two types of people in the NBA, each with its own splendor!
At the start of the second half, Zhang Yi was put on the bench by Wacker.Although he himself did not accept it, there was no way to refute the words of the head coach.

The Spurs on the opposite side seem to want to start the decisive battle ahead of time.Because they did not let Simpkins rest, although it is not a full lineup, but with Simpkins, the power of this semi-rotation lineup is also huge.

Wacker is betting that he hopes his team can hold the Spurs temporarily.After Zhang Yi relieved his personal pressure and got a rest, he played again to recover the score, or even win the game.

Although such an idea is very simple, it is difficult to actually implement it.

After all, even if Simpkins does not rest, God knows when he will be tired from lifting, and it can even be said whether he will feel tired.

At the start of the game, the Spurs' advantage was immediately converted into points.Simpkins did not participate in this ball, and the others found an opportunity to make a mid-range shot through conduction.

Of course Wacker stood on the sidelines and yelled at the players to defend, but he couldn't play himself. In this level of competition, he could only be anxious. After all, the players basically showed their true level.

No way, no way, the Spurs are now like the Lakers' strength ceiling, they can reach it but it is difficult to win.
