New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 394

The Lakers swallowed their second defeat of the season, which naturally exposed many problems.It's just that Wacker is not angry. On the contrary, he is still very satisfied with the final adjustment of the starting players.

Although this is beyond everyone's expectations, whether it is Zhang Yi or others, they all know the temper of the head coach Wacker.If you say not to be angry, you will not be angry, and you will never make trouble for people behind your back.

This loss was unexpected even if it was reasonable.It is said that there is a big gap in strength between the east and the west, but in fact it is only because of the existence of a super strong Golden State Warriors.

Other than that, the gap between the other teams is not that big.Even the New York Knicks' victory against other strong teams in the West is still high.

On the one hand, it is because they have a devil's home field.On the one hand, it is also because their style of play belongs to the kind of team that needs crazy output, output ability, defense and defense.

The ability to break fast and defend quickly can already promise most teams in the league.Not to mention that the current pace of the game is too fast.It's not an era of team battles at all. The New Yorkers stand at the top of the fast pace and can naturally achieve very good records.

The Lakers adjusted well at the end of the game because they completed the slowdown and then pursued a balance between offense and defense.

If it weren't for Zhang Yi and others' sudden coldness, the result of the game would be really hard to say.It's not easy for the Knicks to win.

And they basically didn't feel the joy of winning, because if Thomson hadn't scored two fairy goals in a row in the end, they would have given up on this game.

Look at the end of the game, Thomas the 'crazy' retired early.He knew that the Lakers won the process. Even if the Knicks won the result in the end, if they couldn't make a comeback in the next match, they would only lose back.

The result of the game is not important now.No one will talk about regular season results.Take last season as an example, because of the Warriors' various normal rotations, this is also to take care of the team's veterans.

So the team's record in the regular season showed Waterloo, but who would have thought that in the end they would be the fifth lower circle team in the Western Conference, defeating the Western Conference for a while and winning the championship by the way.

What's the use of the Knicks winning 60+ games for several consecutive seasons?People now understand that if they play well in the regular season and have no problem in the playoffs, they still can't pass the Warriors in the finals.

This actually applies to the Lakers as well.After all, they still firmly occupy the number one status in the league.

If it weren't for these two anxious defeats, they would have even set a record for the opening season winning streak in NBA history.People certainly want to see records born.But we will not blindly worship records.

Just like before this game, most people's attention is on the confrontation between the old and new generations of super point guards.

Compared with Varanda and Curry Jr., although the Knicks' No. [-] star Glade is well-known, he has not been able to become the core leader of a team until now.

For this alone, he has been left behind by the Varandas.It is not difficult for a point guard to become the boss itself.

After all, he has the ball right from the start.Not to mention that even shooting guards and small forwards grab the show, but without the control of his offensive starting point.

But it is impossible for others who have offense to play successful offensive tactics.So the point guard has always been the brains of the team.

A qualified point guard also occupies the absolute leadership position of the team, he may not be the one with the most points.But it is an indispensable role on the field.

Glade has always relied on Thomas, even Thomson at small forward.If it weren't for these two players to convert his pass into an assist.His personal data may take a big dive.

This did not become the reason for bothering Varanda and Curry.In the eyes of ordinary fans, what these two people do is absolute control of the field.

Whoever wants to score and who can score is in their hands.This is not particularly obvious in Curry.After all, the Golden State Warriors have put the task of scoring on him in recent seasons.

The other players in the starting lineup either have singles skills, or they can only catch and shoot from the outside.Even if Curry wants to control, he has to see if other people on the field have the strength.

So most fans still regard it as an offensive guard.But Varanda is the best example of controlling the audience.

In the Nets he played for, not only did he have the super shooter Morris who became famous after Varanda, but there were also a bunch of talents who could catch and shoot on the bench under the basket.

Although the overall combat effectiveness of the Nets is not strong, no matter what the final result is, after getting Varanda, a super point guard, their team has become a strong team.

Some players can change the situation on the field by themselves.For example, Zhang Yi, Simpkins, and Curry all have this ability.

But players who can change a team by themselves are rare in history.In addition to motivating his teammates on the court, Varanda also closely integrates his teammates through his own training and behavior off the court.

This is the reason why the former boss of the Nets is now convinced to play for Varanda.Even Zhang Yi can't do this now.

Although his training is very hard, but when it comes to personality charm, he is still far behind.Compared with Varanda's experience and his influence in the locker room, Zhang Yi is also learning now.

Although he practiced ball skills with Wang Long since he was a child, he did not learn the aura of the Eastern Emperor.I think Wang Long was an all-powerful figure in the NBA back then.

Even if he only played for one season, his story is everywhere.Even the thorny players in the Lakers locker room such as Wacker are convinced by Wang Long.

It can be seen that Wang Long's personal charm is strong.If Zhang Yi were placed on the Lakers back then, he would definitely be bullied to death by Wacker and others.

Not to mention that the current players are too lacking in personality in the past.Those thorny players in the past have long been controlled by league rules and lost their individuality.

Such a ball is also the reason why it is getting uglier. The NBA is supposed to be like a battlefield.Players with weak personalities or weak skills are not worthy of surviving under the devastation of these people.

Although Zhang Yi's skills are strong, compared with external ability, inner strength is also one of the important reasons for a player's ability to achieve results.

This is the reason why Wacker trains Zhang Yi again and again in training, even at the expense of all kinds of rudeness.

Wang Long entrusted his most valued disciple to his hands, and Wacker has the obligation to make him stronger!
