New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 400 One Person Against One Team

There is one and only one biggest problem for the Lakers now, and that is how to limit Sean, who has an explosive scoring ability!

Even if Zhang Yi, the team's strongest defensive player, joins forces with Robert, they can't limit Sean's offense very well.This is also what Wacker did not expect at the beginning of the game.

Zhang Yi's personal defensive efficiency is one of the best in the league.After all, he has his athletic ability, coupled with the defensive training he received since childhood.

Back then, Wang Long was a player with both offensive and defensive skills, which is why he was able to win the regular season MVP trophy in his rookie season.

After training with such a defensive master since childhood, Zhang Yi's personal defensive habits have long been tempered.In the later period, he followed the defensive titan "Smiling Butcher" Wacker to learn.

Whether it is single-defense ability or cooperative defense awareness, what Zhang Yi showed on the court is enough to compete for the best defensive player.

Although his defensive radius is still much worse than that of the real DPOY, after all, his game experience is still a lot worse.

It's just that people are also very optimistic about the future. Zhang Yi will become a man like Curry who won the regular season MVP, scoring champion, and DPOY!
After all, the word "comprehensive" is not just lip service. If Zhang Yi wants to truly become Curry's successor, he must show the same level of results!

Just like the absolute superstars like Michael Jordan back then, although trophies cannot represent their strength, future generations cannot stand with them and compare without trophies!
The current state of the Hornets is a typical attack and defense.When the Lakers played a normal offense, no one except Sean could defend them at all.

That's why they allow more points per game than they score.With players like Sean who score explosively, their offensive end could have had unlimited possibilities.

Who let other players hold back infinitely will directly affect the offensive and defensive performance of the whole team.It's not that the Hornets have no chance to play well, provided that all the injured return.

This is the most rare thing, because their injuries are not serious, and it is still unknown if they want to catch up with the playoffs.Now Sean can carry the team alone and beat some teams with weak overall strength, but facing a team like the Lakers with all players is really helpless.

No matter how provocative Sean is.Zhang Yi no longer has one-on-one with him, because such unnecessary consumption is meaningless in itself.If the game enters garbage time, he may.

But in that case, the duel would lose its original meaning.

Sean said these rubbish words to stimulate Zhang Yi, but also to buy breathing time for the team through his own strength.After all, the biggest problem with these players is not that they lack strength, but that they cannot immediately enter the state like the starting players.

Whether it's the Lakers or the Golden State Warriors.Their rotation lineup can already be called luxurious, but no one dares to say that their substitute lineup will be able to play their original strength as soon as they play.

It is indeed the type that has a strong offensive player and can hit a shot whenever he has a chance.Of course, these are strong contenders for the best sixth man in the league.

But even such a player is difficult to play top-level defense immediately after entering the court.After all, the reason why they sit on the bench is often not because of poor offense, but because of poor defensive awareness and ability.

Sean's previous routines were to give his teammates a chance to breathe through his own singles and provocative opponents to fight him.

This time, Zhang Yi, as his old opponent, of course understood what Xiao En meant, so facing Wacker, he entrusted him with the important task of winning.Of course, I will choose to jump out of my own personal wins and losses, and focus on the team's wins and losses.

As long as the Lakers attack players other than Sean, they will easily get offensive opportunities.This is where the Lakers' overall strength is strong.

The Hornets have neither adjusted personnel nor stronger options.The only thing the head coach can hope for is that Sean can complete the steal while the opponent is passing the ball.

Of course, this is easy to happen to weak offensive teams. For the league's top team like the Lakers, it is really difficult to play their own defensive dominance.

If the current Zhang Yi and Xiao En switch teams, he will definitely not perform better than the latter.After all, whether it is offense or defense, Xiao En is not weaker than Zhang Yi at all.

On the contrary, after strengthening strength and technical training, Sean's deterrence is far better than Sean's.Although as a white shooting guard, he is not as popular as blacks in basketball by nature.

But compared to Zhang Yi's yellow physique, he still has an advantage.If Zhang Yi can reach a height that is difficult for ordinary black players, then he will not admit defeat.

Facing the offense of the Lakers, Sean could only wait for others to perform.This in itself is not a definite event. After all, if you give them time to reach a good level, then these people will not be reduced to the level that no team wants.

Everyone is saying that the weakness of his teammates just sets off Sean's strength!And from him, people saw the figure of Thomas who led the team to the finals with a single core!

The only difference is that the New York Knicks where Thomas is located also relied on team basketball to lay a certain foundation in the opening stage before they began to suffer injuries.

This is not the same as Sean, as a rookie, at the beginning of the new season, with a crippled lineup, trying his best to fight for the playoffs.

Coupled with the fact that the Knicks are in the relatively weak Eastern Conference, it is relatively easy to break out of the playoffs.

If Sean can lead the Hornets out of the West where there are many masters and strong teams this year, then such titles as successor to Curry or superstar will no longer exist.

Because even the little Curry didn't achieve such a feat back then, and if the Hornets can break out of the West, there is a high probability that they can win the championship.

Then Sean could be the real Rookie of the Year.Of course, all of this is just if, judging from the current situation.It's not just that they can't get past the Lakers.

Not to mention the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs who are showing their full strength.Reaching the playoffs can already establish Sean's star status.

If they can go through even the first round, the team owner will probably lament that he has drawn a lottery.

After all, in the current situation, even if Curry is brought to the Hornets, it may not be possible to do what Sean is doing now.

With the offense of the two teams, no, it should be said that Sean fought against the Lakers with his own strength. The scores of the two sides rose alternately, which also proved Sean's strong ability to resist pressure!

If other players faced the situation without helpers, they might soon raise their hands and surrender...
