Chapter 308 The Lakers' Princeton Play
Zhang Yi is still the core of the Lakers' tactical, but compared to the simple tactics at the beginning, it is now more complicated because it prevents another mistake. Walli has now mentioned that he will start to serve as the center of the organization at a high position.
In fact, in Wack's vision, the Lakers' tactics will be mainly Princeton tactics in the future. Although this tactic is already considered antique level, this tactic will exist one day in a basketball game.
Although Walli's current support ability has not been fully developed, it is obvious that with Zhang Yi, an important firepower attraction point, their off-ball play is much more powerful than other teams.
When Oscar and Robert started running without the ball, the overall defense, which was originally focused on Zhang Yi, was instantly dispersed to many places. Coupled with the empty cut after Zhang Yi's cover, Walli directly blocked Casma behind him.
Without this biggest defensive threat, Zhang Yi's attacking basket became much easier after receiving the ball. Because the Wizards' center's defense radius is not very large. Even if he let go of the wall to prevent Zhang Yi from falling quickly, it is obvious that the speed and blocking quality are far inferior to Kasma.
I was also surprised to see the Los Angeles Lakers' change of formation. In their opinion, Wali's height and weight are not outstanding, and he does not have any gorgeous back-attack and frame attack skills, so no one takes him seriously.
It is reasonable and unexpected to be used by Wack now. From this attack, we can see that the Wacky ball is very fast. And I don’t know where the overall situation comes from, it is not mechanically looking for opportunities to feed Zhang Yi.
The Wizards did not call a timeout immediately, because even if the opponent's offense was better, Princeton's key tactical organization center requires a high level of tactical qualities. No one believes that Wall Li can make a correct judgment every time quickly.
Moreover, because of Varanda, the Wizards' offense will not have any problems. The Los Angeles Lakers' defensive lineup is not considered good, because Robert and Oscar are not very good at defense.
Varanda himself has a strong offensive ability. Under his leadership, Norpton basically waits to take action and then scores a goal. Because it is just a simple run between the two of them that can get rid of the defense.
At this time, it might be better if Robert gave up on a new 3D player. But Wacker would not let Robert miss the opportunity to exercise, after all, he will become the standard main player in the future.
Although Robert and Wali were both players who could be put into the rotation lineup in the initial plan, after playing these games, Robert's offensive ability was indeed beyond his expectations.
But now, the Lakers' offense has indeed been much easier to rely on Princeton's tactics, and Zhang Yi will never have any big problems.
After hesitating for a round, Wacker still pressed Robert to the bench for a rest. The opponent did not change the lineup in a targeted manner.
The Wizards' starting five players are not very good at the strength of the current starting five players. Although there is a lot of room for improvement in each position outside of Varanda, the most problematic one is actually the bench.
Because of the bad performance, the Wizards have accumulated a lot of garbage contracts. Many elderly players are on the Wizards, and many of them are either reimbursed seasonally or are no longer NBA-level players.
Therefore, the Wizards' main players led the lead and opened the score after entering the rotation. If Varanda and others had not performed too well, they might not have won three consecutive victories.
Now the Los Angeles Lakers have the capital to make personnel adjustments. The Wizards can only continue to use the main players. When Valanda said that there was no need to change the lineup, the head coach regarded him as a bit mid-timer, at least a little impulsive.
Although Valanda has proved with his own strength that he did not have much problem with what he said at the time. But now there are problems with the team's rotation. If the players are not replaced, even if they can support the regular season, they will wait for the bayonets to make a bloody playoff. Regardless of whether the starting five players will be injured, even if everything is normal, it is impossible to go too far.
According to Varanda's recent performance, the Wizards boss actually had the idea of introducing stars. If Washington used to be a black hole in the basketball world, then the big sun in Varanda has illuminated the team's future.
If you really recruit good players in the free market, it should be much easier than when you first offseason.
When the Lakers attacked, their positions changed all the time. The so-called human movement and ball movement. Although Walli, as the center of the organization, looks a little nervous, he seems very experienced in his cooperation with Zhang Yi or Oscar.
The Wizards couldn't find a solution to the Lakers' offense, so they could only see the Oscar's three-pointer after running out of the open position and hit a steady hit.
When they turned around, the situation became even more unfavorable to them. Robert, who was good at offense but not good at defense, took it down. The No. 2 position, who is now focused on defense, has also caused great trouble to Norpton.
The defense that could be thrown away with a pick-and-roll now sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster, so that the external cooperation between Valanda and him cannot be played at all.
In addition, Oscars, who are used to Varanda's offensive mode, can also use their own experience to analyze and block some pass routes, which makes Varanda, known as the "magic", play every goal very hard!
The current game situation is gradually turning to the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the home fans kept cheering, it is obvious that there is still a big gap in the depth of the lineup between the two teams.
Even if the Wizards coach wants to make personnel adjustments, he faces a situation where no one is available. They can only rely on their existing lineup and now they are playing like this.
At the end of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers gradually gained the advantage of the score. It is obvious that although Valanda is still efficient in assisting and scoring, he is still alone.
Zhang Yi restricted Casma's offense well, and Norpton was hit by a defensive old fry. Although the inside center is not particularly good at defense, it is still more than enough to deal with a second-rate space center.
"This is not a problem with Valanda. The strength gap between the two teams is still too big!" The commentator on the scene said helplessly. Because after using Princeton's tactics, the Lakers' balls were playing more and more smoothly.
And Wali completed the task well, which disappointed those who expected him to make mistakes and self-destruct tactics...
In the first official match with Zhang Yi, Varanda undoubtedly performed more comprehensively, but this does not represent the team's victory or defeat.
