Simpkins' defense is of course useful. Not to mention that Zhang Yi's offense is powerful, even Thomas, who has a richer arsenal, has never felt so defensive in front of him.

There is a certain amount of luck in Zhang Yi's shot in this goal. However, Zhang Yi's shooting feel has always been soft, so even if the chance is not good, he can always score incredible goals.

This can also be regarded as one of the advantages of Orientals. His wrists are particularly soft, which helps him to make his shooting gestures very varied, making it very difficult for his opponent to defend.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, it was supposed to be Simpkins' possession of the ball. But their head coach gave a wink to let Raj re-control the ball.

Of course, this is to reduce the burden on Simpkins, because Zhang Yi is playing more and more offensively. The Spurs will always need Simpkins' defense to put pressure on their opponents in the next game.

But this ball is not simply for Raji, after all, his disadvantages are already very obvious. Regardless of whether Zhang Yi continues to defend the outside line, the Spurs' offense is still easy to enter a dead ball state.

Simpkins' favorite receiving position is exactly where Walli and Zhang Yi have focused on guarding in advance. Wacker has already led the Lakers to do a lot of defensive training before the game.

Of course, it is to wait until it is against Simpkins, who don’t like to play singles frequently and like to catch the ball and attack, and then shoot.

The Spurs will be greatly affected by this change they made. First, they cut off the connection between Raj and Felton, and then they let Simpkins go to the oblique position where it is not easy to receive the ball.

Then let Zhang Yi, who has the strongest assisting defense ability, block the necessary path for Raji to pass to Simpkins. It can be said that the Spurs have defended all the possible attacking tactics of the Spurs in all aspects.

If it weren't for the end, Raji chose to shake his opponent and then go to the basket. Although breaking through is not his strength, his speed and explosive power are not bad either.

When there is a tall center in the interior, Raji can choose to make a layup or choose to wear it inside. Walli has always been paying attention to Simpkins.

The Spurs suddenly changed their playing style, and Wack also worried about the team, because if the opponent plays, it means that the set of tactics he trains will lose its core influence.

Their formation is to confuse Raji, who has weak organizational capabilities, but if he can't even control it, then other people will of course be out of the control of defense.

Because the Lakers replaced the point guard who was good at attacking, if Raji was really smart, he should have increased his ball-holding offense long ago.

Simpkins also breathed a sigh of relief at this point, but fortunately he reminded him just right. Just now, Raj seemed to be about to make a layup.

Only Valli was able to make up for the past. At this time, the Spurs moved at the same time as Simpkins, one was about to catch the ball at the basket, and the other was about to run to the outside line in the opposite direction...

Even if Zhang Yi was concentrating, Raji did not notice Simpkins' actions after being distracted by such a distraction. Of course, this incident was fatal, because the "Mechanic Killer"'s three-pointer is very accurate now.

Even if Raji's organizational ability is weak, seeing that the core of his team has moved to the three-point fixed point he is best at, of course, he still needs three-pointers instead of two points!

When the basketball flew over Zhang Yi's visual range, Simpkins received the ball and then made a steadily move, and the three-pointer hollowed into the frame. The Spurs' offense was activated again.

This ball cannot blame Zhang Yi for losing his defense because his opponent's conversion and offense was too good. Whether it was Raji's change of playing style or the support of the center, including Simpkins' movement.

This is the team that has been moving. Regardless of whether Felton has been deterred by the Lakers, he has not stopped for a moment, let alone others!

This is the fundamental reason why the Spurs, which were not first-class in single offenses except Simpkins, were able to play one of the best offenses in the league.

If the Lakers can play the league-leading offense because of their players' talent, especially Zhang Yi and Robert, can always speed up the pace of the game.

And while they increased the pace, the Lakers' overall offense did not collapse, and even when they fell into the position, they could play a good rotation ball.

However, the problem with the Lakers is that they rely too much on the starting players, and their defense is not very good. If the lineup is changed, not only will it not be able to attack, but it may even become a one-on-one single-handed challenge.

Most of the players Jaina chose were individual players who were not so good at integrating into the collective. There was nothing we could do about this.

After all, they don’t want to sign any star this year, and there will definitely be various problems with these mercenaries.

Of course, the Lakers' goal this year is to win the championship. But it doesn't matter if there is no championship bonus.

If Zhang Yi, Robert and Walli can stay healthy, their performance will inevitably become the best signboard for the Lakers to recruit stars.

Regardless of whether the Lakers' current signature is Zhang Yi or whether he is a first-year rookie. Of course, the most popular thing that many stars who have been suppressed by the Golden State Warriors for so many years is the championship ring.

And in the Spurs, they are not attracted attention and have to be forced to enter the team's rhythm. As for whether they can steal the position of the team's boss from Simpkins, it is even more delusional.

But this is not the case for the Lakers. No matter how strong Zhang Yi is, as long as he has not won the hard honor, he will still be a rookie. And he will also receive the basic salary of a rookie.

No matter which star it is for the Lakers to win the championship or even the top big market. It is simply the favorite holy place for basketball stars.

That's the core reason why the Lakers are watching this year. If they can play a winning streak, they even go to the Western Conference Finals to challenge the Warriors in the playoffs.

After Curry Jr. really retires, the Lakers will immediately become the target of many stars rushing to change jobs. This is where Jaina's shrewdness is.

She doesn't want to beg others to do things now. Next summer, the Lakers just need to wait quietly for the big fish to jump into the pot by themselves. This way, you can spend less effort and not provoke anyone's benefits. Why not do it?

The Lakers' current lineup can be regarded as a championship lineup, but except for Zhang Yi, the rest of the people did not have this kind of strength. So it is also an accident that they can play so well now.

As for teams like the Spurs who are the strong contenders for this year's championship, the result of this game will also determine many people's speculations about the ownership of this year's championship!
