The Lakers have no other way except to open up the situation with Zhang Yi as Wack said. Because their lineup is not as good as a standard single-core team than a team with multiple strong points and strong comprehensive abilities.

Zhang Yi's ability is the Lakers' most powerful weapon now. In order to activate this absolute core, WACK can only allow the Lakers to increase lethality in other positions and involve the opponent's defense.

There was no way, Wack replaced with a stronger offensive lineup. The corresponding defense became much worse.

When the Spurs saw such an opponent's lineup, they immediately started to play quickly. Their changes were very accurate. Simpkins led Zhang Yi to attract the only player with defense on the Lakers, and of course others would have a lot of opportunities.

If the Spurs average three-point shooting per game may not be considered high in the league, but their hits are indeed one of the best among all teams.

This is because Simpkins, as the core of the team, can always find the best opportunity for the outside shooter, and even basketball will not pass through his hands even in the offensive round.

But Simpkins can always find opportunities through running and drive defense, and affect the overall situation in the direction of the Spurs.

Zhang Yi has watched so many of Simpkins' performances, and he is actually learning how to use his strength to involve the Spurs' defense. Because whether it is offense or defense, the core of the team should always grasp the situation.

This is the reason why no matter how strong an offensive player is, he will be asked to defend. Otherwise, he will not be considered a completely great star.

After being pulled away by Simpkins, Zhang Yi did not choose to continue to defend, but immediately made eye contact with his opponent. The Lakers changed defense! Zhang Yi changed to some of the outside defenses, Raj and Felton.

This is actually a bit beyond Simpkins's idea, because the Lakers' lineup may be able to defend against him, only Zhang Yi may be. Putting anyone in front of him is no different from air defense.

So when I saw the defense change, the Spurs immediately changed their tactics and became Simpkins' singles! This is also the scoring method that the Spurs often use in recent games.

It's not that Simpkins took the initiative to ask, and he never made such a request to the head coach that doesn't seem too much. After all, there are about ten singles in a single game of the team's core game.

What's more, Simpkins may not have even five times before, so his scoring basically relies on the catch-up jump shot after running, or the second attack after grabbing the board.

This is almost unbelievable to other stars. After all, his status is not an ordinary second-rate star. Even if Zhang Yi is strong, his influence on the court may not be as good as Simpkins.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi can get at least 20 shots in a single game, about 15 of which were obtained through one-on-one single matches.

This is the difference between superstars. This is why Simpkins is also rated as the top offensive player in the league by head coaches of all teams.

Now that Simpkins has a single chance, he certainly won't waste his chances. After receiving the ball, he saw that Zhang Yi did not want to come back to assist in defense, so he decisively swung the first defender over the first defender. After killing towards the basket, Wali came to assist in defense...

This is also expected, because for the Lakers, the player who can effectively protect the basket is really this short center forward, Wali, in addition to Zhang Yi.

The Lakers are not defensive now, and Zhang Yi is defending the outside, and the defense in the inside naturally requires Wali to do his best.

However, because Simpkins had considered that he would be assisted by Valli, he did not take a direct layup at all. Instead, he made a trolley and backhand layup when his opponent came over!

After seeing this wonderful goal, the audience burst into warm applause. If it weren't for Simpkins' performance that reflects his personal abilities infrequently, everyone would have thought that this was a routine operation.

"Simpkins' physical fitness is actually more like the basketball god Michael Jordan!" The commentator said excitedly. He is really not an exaggeration, because compared to the other third positions, Simpkins' core strength is really at the terrifying level.

Not to mention the terrifying arms and a huge pair of palms.

From every angle, he is very similar to Michael Jordan back then. Not to mention that many players in the league know that even the training maniacs are exactly the same.

Of course, Zhang Yi's idea of ​​defense cannot be said to be wrong. After all, if the Spurs shooter let go, the final result may only be to be severely beaten.

If Simpkins just fights alone, he will at least be tired. This is the helpless and only feasible tactic.

Of course, since the defense has been sacrificed, the Lakers' offense has indeed improved a lot. After all, the newly added No. 1 and No. 4 have three points, and they are both good athletic.

They were originally all Lakers bench bandits, but now they are mentioned to be rotated in important games. Of course, such a good opportunity to perform is not missed.

They will catch a little bit of the Spurs' defense loopholes and forcefully beat them. If it weren't for the feeling that hadn't been hot yet, then the Lakers' shooter army could have made a wonderful offense.

The ball bounced out of the box, but Wali tried hard to grab the rebound and then succeeded in a second attack.

It can be seen that Hook's expression is very angry, of course this is because he did not expect that Walli would have such a troublesome side.

The ability to grab the board is also where WACK focuses on strengthening the wall strength in individual training. If your son can make a living in the future, it must be the ability to defend and grab the board!

Moreover, the bridle protection has never been a specialty of tall players. Rodman, the rebounding maniac at that time, was only 1.98 meters tall. Therefore, Walli's athletic ability is completely possible to meet the conditions of a top bridle protection player, so what Wacker has to do is to ask him to teach him the strongest bridle protection player who has just retired.

Although Wali's growth was not shown on the court, it was also because the Lakers' shooting rate in previous games was too high. Meeting the Spurs is a better opportunity to test his growth.

So no matter whether the Lakers can make a shot from the outside or not, with this top inside player, the inside player naturally solves the worries of the outside shooter.

Zhang Yi and Simpkins are in a mutual restraint relationship. There is no problem, but if the Lakers' offense gets better and better.

As the core of defense, Simpkins will inevitably join the team's overall defense and relax the team's personal defense. It was at this time that Wacker and others were waiting for.

Until the Lakers put in the first three-pointer, the Spurs' defensive lineup immediately began to move to the outside.
Chapter completed!
