New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 356 The Power of Simpkins
Zhang Yi is not the kind of player who can completely defeat Simpkins now.He has this strength but the premise is that he must activate his own characteristics.

Although the physical trainer and Wacker clearly stated that if it is not a key game, it is not easy to use it. After all, apart from consuming a lot of his physical energy, other side effects of this trait have not yet been determined.

And the most frightening thing is that New York Knicks superstar "Scramble" Thomas seems to have opened up this trait in the preseason confrontation with Zhang Yi.

But the final result was that after two super outbreaks, he soon entered the injury repair.Although according to the team report, it is only labor loss plus muscle strain, as long as a short rest is enough.

As a result, Thomas came back and quit intermittently, and even experienced the degree of being left in the locker room for treatment after halftime.

He hadn't been seriously injured in the game, nor had he fallen or even contused, so this made Wacker and others even more worried.

Thomas has undoubtedly used this trait in the regular season, and he used it well. He scored 56 points in the first game, and this is the data in the first three quarters, which almost broke the historical record.

God knows how many points Thomas can score in the fourth quarter if he continues to score points. Anyway, he is in good condition like an alien!
This is like Zhang Yi grabbing the ball from Wacker, or leading the team's tactics at Duke University led by Varanda in the NCAA.

This trait really puts him in a state of near-invulnerability for brief moments.Zhang Yi said that he is in a state of physical fitness, he sees others in slow motion, but he can act normally.

So he can steal any opponent and complete various seemingly impossible attacks.

The same is true for Thomas, but he uses this trait crazily, even non-stop in the first game.God knows if that was the reason for his injury.

After all, even in the preseason, Thomas stayed in the locker room after only playing halftime.

According to legend, he was unable to move that time because his physical strength was completely exhausted.This is also the same as when Wacker saw Zhang Yi use the trait for the first time.It's just that, unlike Zhang Yi, Thomas has used the trait for a longer time, as if he can control it better.

Of course, this is all just speculation.Because Thomas is currently resting due to injury because of minor injuries, no one knows the specifics of his body.

However, out of the safest considerations, Zhang Yi had better not use the trait if he could not use it now.

The current Lakers haven't been held back for that.Even if they lose in the end, they are not unconvinced. After all, the strength of the Spurs is worthy of the victory in this game.

As the game continues.Although the defensive ability of the No. [-] position is improved, it limits Raj's personal breakthrough and creates opportunities for teammates to attack again.

But this also directly weakened the Lakers' offensive ability, just like returning to the beginning of the first quarter.It's just that the two teams changed their routines, and the final result was that the Spurs took the lead.

This game was originally considered to be the highest level of competition in the league.Even if the two teams may not reach the Western Conference Finals at the same time.

After all, there is still an unknown Golden State Warriors led by Curry.God knows what their problem is, as long as Curry is still in the Warriors, they will still be the biggest favorites to win the championship.

This can also be seen from the odds of the casino.Although the Lakers and Spurs are infinitely close to the Warriors, they are still far behind.

At least from the current point of view, even if these two teams have defeated the Warriors, no one can say how far the Warriors can rebound after Curry is playing well.

The current Lakers have encountered a bottleneck, and this is the San Antonio Spurs.

Simpkins restrained Zhang Yi very well on the offensive end, just like he did at the beginning of the first quarter of the game.Zhang Yi, known as the offensive kaleidoscope in the past, seemed extremely reluctant in front of Simpkins whether it was shooting or breakthrough.

The final direct result is that the hit rate is plummeting.If he fails to score, it means that the Lakers' offense will be paralyzed.

After all, Robert cannot be expected to score consecutive hero goals.His three-point shooting percentage is already very high, reaching 10 of 6 shots!But that still can't save the Lakers.

Because the Spurs are staring at the Lakers' perimeter all the time.Isn't Robert a good shot? It's only when they are playing rotation defense.

As soon as Felton came on the field, the defensive intensity against him came up.Not to mention the hit rate, Robert has no chance to make a shot at all now.

The Lakers don't allow a player to force a shot unless he receives the ball at the last second of the offense.But how is this possible, Zhang Yi is the only player in the team who can play hard, because only he has this confidence!
But the current situation is that Robert, who has the highest hit rate, is blocked.Zhang Yi was played by Simpkins again.As the team's point difference widens, the Lakers are about to enter a dead end.

Because Wacker has already replaced the main offensive lineup in order to stimulate the team's offense.But it can be seen that they have little effect.

After all, the current Lakers may not be able to penetrate the strongest defense of the Spurs even with a full offensive lineup.In addition, opponents have always paid attention to the distribution of physical fitness.

In contrast, apart from Zhang Yi getting a rest, the physical fitness of other players has also become a problem that must be considered.

After making six 6-pointers, Robert didn't look like he had much offense.But when Zhang Yi was not around, he attacked many times in a row.

Although the performance at the basket is not as good as that on the outside, after all, the difference in opportunities between the two is worlds apart.But it can be seen that he is also a player who is willing to play for the team.

The current Spurs are bigger and better, while the Lakers are getting worse and worse.

"Obviously both teams have come up with the best team! But the Spurs are better!" said the on-site commentary.Although he also recognized the efforts of the Lakers.

But the strength of the basketball game will determine everything.Just before entering the fourth quarter, the situation on the court has been controlled by the Spurs.

The Lakers didn't make a transition offense throughout the second half.Every attack is a bit of grinding in positional warfare like an old cow.

Of course, the final result was not smooth, and their offense could not be played.What's even more sad is that the defensive effect is not good.Although Raj was under control, Simpkins' individual singles were still unsolvable.

God knows what he did this offseason, anyway, now Zhang Yi really feels that he is close to Curry's incomprehensible feeling.
