New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 379 Top Defense
Varanda did what he said. He not only limited Robert's offense, but also under his high-intensity defense, except for missed shots, the opponent's turnovers increased instantly.

This is the power of a top player. It's not that he has no defense, but his focus is not on defense.

If Varanda wants to become a defensive champion while taking into account his passing ability, then he can only give up his offense.

This is the reason why Jason Kidd and Deron Williams were called baseless and morally unaggressive all the year round.Are they incapable of attacking?Obviously not!But this is the choice that the top point guards in the NBA need to face. You cannot have both fish and bear's paws.

If you have to give up your offense or assist ability for the sake of defense, it depends on what the team needs now.

To deal with the Lakers, whose offense is getting smoother and smoother, the Nets have only two options in order to keep their lead, or continue to emphasize the team's offense.

Either increase your own defense. Since the opponent focuses on this point, Varanda will certainly not simply show weakness.After all, his defensive ability is not only not without, but also the strongest in the entire Nets team.

Robert's offensive tactics that have been effective before are useless in front of him now, and more importantly, Varanda's defense is based on his own super golf quotient.

Although not every ball can be predicted, but after three quarters of fighting, Robert's offensive style has been completely imprinted in Varanda's mind.

If he doesn't want to let go, then Robert may not feel the gap between himself and his opponent in a game.

But who made the Lakers start, Varanda is now playing thoroughly and seriously.The gap between a good player and a superstar is worlds apart.

After all, he is Zhang Yi's biggest competitor for the best rookie of the year. If there is no defensive player, there will not be so many people who think that Varanda is the best player this year.

The current stadium is almost held by Varanda in the palm of his hand.Because the Lakers still insist on playing Robert.But the most direct price is that he was all intercepted by Varanda in the first few attacks.

If you talk about the routines you are already familiar with, Varanda can steal, but you can only say that he likes Robert's routines.But a jumper with a sudden stop was also blocked by him, which is a manifestation of defensive ability.

Since the Lakers have Zhang Yi, their ability to defend against counterattacks is one of the best in the league.Although Varanda completed steals one by one, they did not immediately convert them into points.

Someone else might not want to miss the opportunity to hit the back like this, but Varanda is no ordinary person.Plus he doesn't need to defend the counterattack at all.

The Nets' current offense is steady and successful.Although the shooting percentage from the outside line has plummeted.Varanda can assist the inside and pass and cooperate with his teammates.

The current situation is getting worse and worse for the Lakers, especially when Robert is in possession of the ball.Varanda was a ticking time bomb when he stood in front of him.

Whether he is breaking through or shooting, he is now being defended by his opponents.The only possibility is to shoot a super long three-pointer, but what's the point?You can only waste the opportunity in vain.

Wacker also called a timeout, and his guiding ideology has not changed. After all, he just wants to develop Robert's ability now.The current desperate situation can just help him recognize his shortcomings and grow up.

Whether it is Zhang Yi or Wally, they can only rely on themselves to stretch the space to attract defense for point guard Robert.It's good that Varanda is not in front of him.

Of course, only Zhang Yi can complete this task, after all, he is the only player who can attract Varanda's attention.

But the problem now is that Varanda trusts the defender in front of Zhang Yi.Although that player's ability is average, his characteristic is that he will stick to his opponent like a dog's skin plaster.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi's current ability is also limited, and his shooting ability is not too strong.If Robert can only let him shoot three-pointers in order to allow him to attract more space.

The result of this is likely to be that the Lakers' point difference is getting bigger and bigger.Even if it's a pick-and-roll, Varanda's ability to go around screens is also strong.

In addition, his experience is very rich, and he knows that fouls will be committed under the existing rules.Even offensive fouls like pick-and-rolls are easy to catch.

Not to mention that the referees now attach great importance to how clean the offensive players are when they play the screen.It's not that Varanda is an acting school, but that he uses the rules reasonably.

Every era has favorites of the rules, and there will also be players who are good at using the rules.The current Varanda is a clear example.

Wally played Robert's pick-and-roll several times and was caught by him several times for offensive fouls and screen fouls.

It is conceivable how strong his ability to draw fouls is.A defender who is familiar with the rules is better than [-]% of the league's gates, even if he is not a top defensive player.

This is the side of Varanda showing himself as a defensive champion to the Lakers' home court.Under his performance, the Lakers have not scored a point in 3 minutes.

Robert is under the greatest pressure now. On the one hand, he has to stick to his offensive guard setting, and on the other hand, he has to keep the Lakers' offense from collapsing.

As for what Varanda said that he won't get a single point in the next round, this is absolutely nonsense, because his three-point ability is still acceptable.

Even if he is blocked for a three-pointer, Robert can still continue to stick to his three-pointer tactics. This is also the last method when the breakthrough fails.

"I'll pick and roll for you!" Zhang Yi suddenly patted Robert on the shoulder, and he naturally understood what he meant.After all, he can't be considered a big man, so the quality of the screen will not be too good.

Robert knew he meant more of a crossover than a pick-and-roll.Zhang Yi's ability is obviously super physical fitness and scoring ability.

His screen is actually to distract the opponent's defensive focus.If Varanda continues to chase Robert around the cover, then he can hand it over to Zhang Yi.

Or pass the ball after Zhang Yi is in position.No matter what kind of final effect is to give the ball to Zhang Yi, the most stable player on the Lakers.

Now as the game time is getting less and less, they don't have many opportunities to experiment with the lineup and style of play. The best choice is to leave it to their own core.

"They should give the ball to Zhang Yi." Morris said coldly, even if he could see it, how could Varanda not realize it.

In his opinion, the game has been waiting for this moment for a long time.It's not interesting to play against Robert, the real highlight is to play against Zhang Yi directly!
