New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 424

In the subsequent games, the Blazers changed their tactics.From Tang De's various singles to the whole team began to create opportunities for him.

It's kind of like how football is played, all the screens, all the blocks and delays.Tang De has made his debut for so many years, but he has never received this kind of treatment.

So when the head coach made this decision, he was even a little excited.

If it weren't for the consideration of the final result of the game, their style of play could have been more direct, which was to make up for the unfair treatment Tang De had encountered over the years.

Now the Lakers are playing a strong counterattack, so no matter what Tang De does, the only purpose is to score.They have done a very good job of restricting opponents from scoring.

Especially with Robert on the court, the rookie's second-best scorer was completely suppressed.If it weren't for Wall-E's small outburst, the point difference would have been widened.

Now facing the opponent's strongest scorer Zhang Yi, especially his singles ability is far above Robert.Originally, Tang De was struggling to defend alone, but now all the players of the Blazers began to rotate defense.

No matter how strong a player is, it will become difficult to score in the face of a team defense.Especially although his teammates also have strong points.But the Blazers' defensive strategy is smart.

They are all moving to block the opponent's passing route, while also consciously forcing Zhang Yi to go to the basket.His strengths are of course obvious, and his finishing ability at the basket is also very strong.

It's just that this is in a one-on-one situation, and everyone will have a familiar route when they break through.Back then, Zhang Yi observed Xiao En's footsteps and prevented his super breakthrough.

Now, no matter whether it is Tang De or Grant, it is difficult for them to grasp the rhythm of Zhang Yi's breakthrough.But obviously, if there are too many people, there will always be someone who will find the pattern.

Opponents who were previously disjointed suddenly became a whole that made up for each other's deficiencies.That could be worse for the Lakers than they are behind by a point.

Because the strength of the opponent is already very strong, it is very rare to maintain the strength of the playoffs all year round in the highly competitive West.

This can be seen from the energy of the Lakers trying to climb up from the belly team and failing again and again.After all, it's not that they haven't got stars, and the attraction of the big ball market still exists, but they have never encountered an existence that can unite the entire team into a whole.

Zhang Yi's ability is indeed very strong, but he is only binding Robert and Wally together now, and the three of them are really strong when they are together.

They can basically make up for each other's shortcomings, but correspondingly, now the Lakers have broken them up.Wacker also deliberately let the three play separately.

This is of course to seize the limited time and opportunity to hone the abilities of these three people.It is definitely not wrong to hold a group, but relying too much on teammates will also affect their own development.

Especially Zhang Yi's style of play is hard to say that it can cause a substantial blow to the opponent, because he does not want to make fouls and use various means in order to win like Tang De.

In terms of his dedication to victory, Zhang Yi is not lost to anyone, but he lacks field experience and his wrist is a bit weak, which is also his major flaw.

Correspondingly, Robert is an existence that can ruthlessly tear apart opponents. He can use any method to win, even the small moves he has learned in various field games.

Dirty or clean, only the victors are talked about.So pointless persistence does not bring respect.On the contrary, if they lose the game because they are too cautious, they will only become the laughing stock of their opponents in the end.

Zhang Yi's first attack with the ball ended without a problem, which is not good news for the Lakers.

The momentum of the audience has also risen, because for the fans of the Blazers, they simply think that as long as Zhang Yi can be blocked, it is enough to deal with the Lakers.

Regardless of the final result, as long as Curry's successor can be settled, it is good enough.Zhang Yi has shown the aura of gods blocking and killing gods this season, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

So for the Trail Blazers who have no ambition to win the championship, it is already very good to be able to do this.

Because Grant was the last person to block the shot, this also showed that under Tang De's defense, Zhang Yi had been forced into an uncomfortable style of play.

And the Blazers are focusing on marking him, so that they can prevent his offense when the strength gap is obvious.

Wacker was a little helpless, because just after the team meeting, the final result was like this?He now regrets why he gave the players the power to make decisions.

Although in a team, the players are the real subject.But a team that really wants to get good results must have a sufficiently domineering head coach.

Otherwise, he couldn't control the players in the team at all, so all the training and results would be out of the question.

Zhang Yi is the hope of the Lakers in this game, but it doesn't mean that the whole team should put all the pressure on him alone.This is also an unhealthy situation.

Considering that the point difference is behind, the core offense is now blocked again.Several people on the current Lakers team are also a little flustered.

Especially other people except Zhang Yi, they have never seen the team fall into such a passive situation after the game for so long.After winning comfortably for a long time, the players' mentality is prone to change when they encounter hard battles.

Wacker didn't immediately call a timeout, because it would have a greater impact on the players' hearts. It seemed that Zhang Yi's offense failed, and they had to change their tactics?
Of course, for ordinary players, such a situation may often be encountered.But the Lakers can't do this, and Zhang Yi's status doesn't allow him to be questioned.

Regardless of whether the opponent is the Trail Blazers or the Warriors or any opponent in the finals, the current team has completely become an accessory to the players.

This is the so-called double-edged sword of a superstar.On the one hand, he brought victory, exposure and fans to the team.On the one hand, he let his fame overshadow the team's reputation.

Let the team completely become a machine for his personal service.Although such a price is not obvious, often at the last moment, when they break up with the team, it will cause huge disturbances in the basketball world.

Because without some stars, which team may plummet in popularity.There is even a situation where the team's supporters shrink rapidly, which is definitely not good news for the team managers.

Although the Lakers don't want this to happen, as Zhang Yi's popularity gets older and higher, they have been forced into the status quo of the giant star city.

As the saying goes, everyone wins, everyone loses, they must guarantee Zhang Yi's performance!
