New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 371 Robert's Demon
Robert now has to face Varanda head-on, which is a big challenge for his mentality. After all, he was abused in the NCAA semifinals.

If it weren't for Escalio, the great god who stabilized the situation, it would be really hard to be sure that the final winner would be their UCLA Bruins.

Although today is different from the past, Robert is confident that he has improved a lot.Whether it is the overall situation or passing and coping ability.

The Robert who fought solo and dominated the wild field back then is dead, and now standing on the field is a Robert who can change his style of play completely for the team and give everything for victory.

After dribbling for halftime, Varanda immediately began to press the defense.This is not a tactic he often uses, after all, few point guards in the league can be regarded by him.

It's not that Robert already has such strength, but that Varanda wants to suppress the opponent's self-confidence from the beginning.

No matter how Robert grew up, he must still have the memory of being defeated by himself in the college league in his heart.What Varanda did was to get him to jog that memory, and then use that frustration to win over his opponent.

If Robert is a fighter, then Varanda is a general, and the two of them will never be at the same level in this point guard position.

Because Robert always only has the idea of ​​fighting, but Varanda can have more thoughts on strategies and tactics.There are even more psychological aspects involved.

The top point guards in history are all masters of psychological tactics.John Stockton, the assist king of the year, can use his physical advantages to suppress opponents.

Someone once said that any opponent cannot look at him for three seconds.Because as long as he sees through the shortcomings in his heart, he will be exploited and attacked.

This is why, in addition to assists, he can be the league's steals leader for several consecutive years.

Not just Stockton, needless to say "Magic" Johnson among the black point guards, including "Glove" Payton and "Old Demon" Jason Kidd, which one is not a master of psychological warfare.

What did Johnson rely on to play from the one position to the five position?Is it just his height among point guards?Of course, it is a strong psychological quality.

In his view, whether it is a tough center or a flexible point guard has weaknesses, and he can seize these weaknesses one by one.

In addition to the trash talk that made him famous, Payton of course also has the glory of getting DPOY as a point guard.His ability is not outstanding, but his defense is definitely at a historical level.

This is exactly the same as his little brother Jason Kidd. The difference is that except for defense, he inherited Payton's ruthlessness and trash talk, and his assists are even more demonic.

Varanda is not the kind of person who will show his sharpness, but he still will not let go of any weaknesses of his opponents during the game.

Especially in the face of an opponent like Robert who has an advantage in his own mentality, his every move is actually putting pressure on Robert.

The halftime press actually has no practical effect, but for an opponent who has been completely played by himself in key games, it will have an impact on mentality.

Robert, who was originally among the top players in the league in ball-handling skills, made a mistake in a panic.

Although it was not the kind of mistake of being intercepted, when facing Varanda, Robert's mentality also had a faint problem.He found that he had no way to break through the opponent's defense.

Of course, the real situation is not so scary, after all, Varanda is not a No. [-] player who started from defense.His overall view and leadership are sometimes leading the team's offense.

But in Robert's view, this opponent's defense is impeccable.

So much so that almost half of the 24 seconds of the offense was wasted by him meeting Varanda near the midfield.

It wasn't until Zhang Yi couldn't see it well that he could only run over to respond, and Robert barely passed the basketball.The offensive rhythm of the Lakers has been messed up.

When Zhang Yi dribbles the ball to face the defense, he fakes away the opponent and has an opportunity, then pretends to make a shot and actually passes it to the center who runs out of the point guard inside.The latter made a decisive layup after receiving the ball.

Hulk's attention is all on Zhang Yi, so there is such an obvious omission, but if everything is normal.

This time the Lakers' offense can only be shot by Zhang Yi.This means that they are barely shot.

Unlike the last time the Nets had a shot by Varanda who ran out of opportunities, the Lakers were completely pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Because Robert, who is the point guard, didn't play his due level in front of Varanda.

In the world of basketball, there is a food chain relationship just like in nature. From the perspective of everyone, Varanda is now standing at the top of Robert's food chain.

No matter how much the Lakers' adjustments improve the opponent's defense.But now Robert can't defend Varanda, and he can't break through him in offense.

This is a failed adjustment for WACKER.Although this is only one round, so much information has already been reflected from Varanda.

Changing sides to fight again, whether it is Morris or Hulk, is still bitten by the Lakers, but the defense must be consistent.

Any problem in any link is fatal.At this time, Zach ran out to open the request, and of course Varanda gave him the ball immediately, and the latter easily went to the basket and completed a layup!
This is the tactics of the Nets. Even if they encounter the top defensive Spurs, they can normally play such a pass and cut cooperation.

That's why Varanda's strength is so touted. It's not just about one game, or one or two months of performance, but the quality embodied in him.

A good point guard is more difficult to come by than a good shooting guard or small forward.Because anyone with a little height advantage and offensive ability will like the second position, or directly upgrade to the third position.

The first position seems to be important, but the data is often the most ordinary one, and their chances of performance are sometimes not as good as the fourth position who is responsible for grabbing rebounds.

Varanda obviously made up for the lack of a super point guard for the league.Now Curry is on the verge of retirement.And other superstars are either in the second position or the third position.

Because in the era of withered centers, there are not many outstanding stars in the fourth and fifth positions.The No. [-] position is now also facing the situation of no successor.

When Zhang Yi appeared in the league as the successor of Curry, in the eyes of many football critics, Curry's real successor should be Varanda, who is also No. [-].
