Chapter 408 Robert's Demon
Robert must face Valanda now, which is a big challenge to his mentality. After all, he was once abused in the NCAA semi-finals.
If it weren't for the great master Escariot who stabilized the situation at that time, it would be hard to confirm that the final winner would be their UCL Bruins.
Although today is different from the past, Robert is confident that he has made a lot of progress. Whether it is the overall view, the passing and support ability.
Robert, who was the leader of the wild court, was dead. Now he is standing on the court. He is a Robert who can change his playing style completely for the team and give everything for victory.
After halfway through the dribble, Varanda immediately began to press down on defense. This is not a tactic he often uses, after all, there are not many point guards in the league that he can take seriously.
It’s not that Robert already has such strength, but Valanda’s confidence in oppressing his opponent from the beginning.
No matter how Robert grew up, he must still be left with the memory of being defeated by himself in the university league. What Varanda did was to make him evoke that memory, and then use this sense of frustration to defeat his opponent.
If Robert is a warrior, then Varanda is the general, and the two of them are never at the same level as this point guard.
Because Robert always has the idea of fighting, but Valanda can have more minds on strategy and tactics. This even contains more psychological levels.
The top point guards in history are all masters of psychological tactics. At that time, the assist king John Stockton could use his physical advantages to suppress his opponents.
Someone once said that any opponent cannot look at him for three seconds, because as long as he sees through his inner shortcomings, he will be exploited and attacked.
This is also the reason why he can be the league's steal king for several consecutive years in addition to assists.
Not only Stockton, but also Johnson, the "magic" among the black point guards, needs to be said to be, including "Gloves" Payton and "Old Demon" Jason Kidd, who is not a master of psychological warfare.
What did Johnson rely on to play from No. 1 to No. 5? Is it just his super tall figure among point guards? Of course, it is his excellent psychological quality.
In his opinion, both tough centers and flexible point guards have weaknesses, and he can grasp these weaknesses one by one.
In addition to the trash talk that made him famous, Payton also also received the glory of DPOY as a point guard. His abilities are not outstanding, but his defense is definitely at the historical level.
This is exactly the same as his little brother Jason Kidd. In addition to defense, he inherited Payton's ruthlessness and trash talk, and his assists are even more terrifying.
Varanda is not the kind of person who can show off her strength, but she will still not let go of any weaknesses of her opponent in the game.
Especially in the face of Robert's opponent with an advantage in his own mentality, his every move is actually putting pressure on Robert.
The half-time pressing has no practical effect, but it will have a mentality impact on an opponent who was completely played with by himself in a key game.
Robert, who was originally ranked among the top few in the league in ball control skills, made a mistake in panic.
Although it was not the kind of mistake that was intercepted, Robert's mentality also had a vague problem when facing Valanda. He found that he had no way to break through the opponent's defense.
Of course, the real situation is not that terrifying. After all, Varanda did not start with defense. His overall view and leadership of leading the team to attack.
But in Robert's view, the opponent's defense is perfect.
So much so that almost half of the 24 seconds of the attack were wasted by him on the confrontation with Varanda near the midfield.
It was not until Zhang Yi saw that he was not good enough that he could only run over to pick him up, and Robert barely passed the basketball. The Lakers' offensive rhythm was already in chaos.
When Zhang Yi dribbled the ball against the defense, he waved away the opponent through fake moves and then pretended to make a move, which was actually passed to the center who ran out of the point guard in the inside. The latter decisively made a layup after receiving the ball.
Hulk's attention was all about Zhang Yi, so there was such an obvious leak, but if everything was normal.
This time, the Lakers' offense could only be Zhang Yi's shot. This means they were reluctant to take action.
Unlike the Nets who took the opportunity to run with Valanda, the Lakers were completely forced to the edge of the cliff.
Because Robert, who plays as point guard, did not play his due level in front of Valanda.
In the world of basketball, it exists like nature, and it is a relationship between the food chain. In everyone's eyes, Valanda is now like standing on the upper level of Robert's food chain.
No matter how much the Lakers' adjustments have improved their defense against their opponents, Robert can't defend Valanda now, and he cannot break through this point in the offense.
This was a failed adjustment for Wack. Although it was only one round, so much information was already reflected in Varanda.
After the change of sides, whether it was Morris or the Hulk, they were still bitten by the Lakers, but the defense must be consistent.
Any problem at any stage is fatal. At this time, Zach ran out of the open space and asked, and then Valanda of course immediately passed the ball to him, who easily hit the basket and completed the layup!
This is the Nets' tactic. Even if they encounter the Spurs with the first-class defense, they can play such a pass-through and cut cooperation normally.
That's why Varanda's strength is so touted, not just a game or a month of performance, but the qualities he embodies are valuable.
An excellent point guard is more rare than a good point guard and a small forward. Because anyone with a little height advantage and offensive ability will like the second position, or directly upgrade to the third position.
The number one position seems important, but the data is often the most ordinary one, and their performance opportunities are sometimes not as good as the number four position responsible for grabbing the board.
Varanda obviously made up for the league's shortcomings as a super point guard. Curry is now on the verge of retirement. Other superstars are either the second or third.
Because in the era when the center forward was in decline, there were not many outstanding stars in the fourth and fifth positions. The number one position is now facing a situation where no successor is left.
When Zhang Yi appeared in the league as Curry's successor, in the eyes of many football critics, Curry's real successor should be Varanda, who is also in the same position.
