Chapter 410
Although Varanda's defense is not as top-notch, his ball maker also helps him predict many actions of his opponent.
For the matchup at No. 1 position, the ability to predict is always crucial. If Robert hadn't seemed to have performed differently from the NCAA period, then Varanda had absolute confidence to form an effective defense against him.
But a strong player is never static. Varanda can adjust his defensive strength, which is the most difficult thing for the opponent to start.
The Nets made another smooth attack in this ball, and the Lakers did not have much chance of defense.
Especially the second position, who is good at attacking, is taken care of by the opponent. Moreover, Zhang Yi's point is often pulled by the opponent near the outside line.
Because the Nets' circulation speed is very fast, Zhang Yi has no way to participate in the defense.
Robert's attack alone was already very difficult, and now he still had to care about the second position that was often thrown away by his opponent, and he was even more unable to do anything.
The reason why the Lakers' defense performed well in the first few games is actually that the defensive ability of the five positions is very average.
Whether it is Oscar, Robert, Zhang Yi and others, they have an advantage in size when dealing with the number one, two and three opposite.
However, the current No. 2 position not only has a little bad figure, but also has poor movement speed and defensive awareness. His advantage is offense, and his only specialty is offense.
This is actually the same as many bench bandits in the league. These people are not saying that they cannot become superstars, but that they lack overall abilities.
Either there is no offense or no defense. No matter which player can play an important role at least at some stage. But if the team needs to change the lineup, they cannot provide any effect.
A very important sign of the starting strength is that you must have unified offensive and defensive capabilities, even if each one can only be at the average level.
But it should be much better than the corresponding weaknesses of substitutes. The Lakers' current lineup is clearly a bet on offense and then defense goes with the flow.
The Nets' team's brain, Valanda, will of course focus on the obvious weaknesses of the opponent. Moreover, his technique is very clever and he has never clearly played the second position.
Instead, first pass a series of passes, and then let the opponent's defense have large enough loopholes to maximize the team's offensive benefits.
Being a point guard can of course allow the team to score three points, and they will never score two points. If you can make damage at the basket, you will never have to shoot to solve the problem.
Because the victory of a game is accumulated by one goal, a good point guard must always be careful not to waste opportunities.
When the Lakers' offense shrinks due to Varanda's breakthrough, others may be able to defend themselves after coming in, but the second position is not good.
His movement speed is not enough, so he always lets his opponent run out of the open position. Only at this time will Varanda choose to pass the ball.
When this opportunity arises, the Lakers are powerless when they want to make up for defense, and can only pray that the opponent's second position, Morris, has a bad touch...
The Lakers finally made a good attack and were strangled into the cradle by the Nets.
In order to improve his defense, Wacker naturally had to replace the second position and replace a player with a relatively good defense. But the problem arose again. Robert lost the opportunity to play the ball for the second position player, so his choice could only become a cooperation with Zhang Yi.
This was a situation that Wacher didn't want to see, but the Nets didn't give the Lakers a chance to try a new lineup.
The strong control ability of Varanda is that he can attack his opponent's weaknesses infinitely. If the opponent does not adjust, he will target and kill the opponent infinitely.
The head coaches of those teams who reacted too slowly lost to the Nets. Although Wack reacted quickly, the corresponding offensive price was to cut off his arm.
Robert has a strong offensive ability, which is also his strength. Even if he is a point guard, he still has the power to fire.
Moreover, Wack is not such a decisive head coach. In his opinion, as long as it has a stable output, no matter it is the number one or four, as long as you have this ability, you can play like this.
Robert was hesitant to defend against Varanda, but now he has lost another player who can cooperate with him. Now he can only attack by himself!
I saw him holding the ball and trying to shake over Varanda. The opponent's defensive breakthrough ability is not very strong, and he will not waste all his physical fitness on chasing an opponent who will inevitably pass the ball.
But he was wrong with this idea because Robert had absolute finishing ability at the basket.
It can even be said that in this Lakers, his face-frame offensive ability is definitely not inferior to Zhang Yi, and it is a powerful weapon for the Lakers' offense.
Because Zhang Yi was ambushing outside the three-point line at this moment, Valanda thought that when Robert drifted past him, he attracted the defense and pretended to attack and then passed to the outside of the three-point line to allow Zhang Yi to make a three-pointer.
But he was thinking too much, Robert was not Valanda himself. He didn't have the idea of maximizing the offense in his mind, because as long as he could score, it would be great!
Even Robert hates the most is that the basketball can be put into the basket immediately but has to be taken out and passed to whom at the bottom corner.
What if he doesn't score? Robert is not the point guard's mind. I believe that every teammate can shoot three-pointers at a good opportunity. If he does not have the absolute confidence in attacking this ball, he will give the ball to a better teammate.
But now he has successfully entered the basket, who else can score better than he can score the ball himself?
Two points are less than three points at any time, but in Robert's eyes, the opportunity that he can't seize is like zero. Just two points are greater than zero!
This is of course a typical point guard idea. Although he is playing point guard, Robert still has not changed his style. So after seeing his playing style, Valanda couldn't help laughing.
Because what is standing in front of me is not the so-called dual-energy guard at all, this guy is a sub-guard in his bones, and he has always been!
Zhang Yi and Robert greeted him with high fives. He also knew his brother's personality very well, so he was just to cover Robert outside the three-point line.
Being able to attract defense is also the best off-ball performance at the team's core. Head coach Wacker has already said that this game is mainly played by Robert, but this does not mean that Zhang Yi has no chance to show himself.
On the contrary, the most difficult thing to play on the basketball court is to be without the ball. Because this means that they have ten thousand possible consequences of the offense, and Zhang Yi's performance interprets this very well!
