Chapter 18 Gasol's 'hard' (seeking tickets)

Gasol in people's eyes is the representative of "soft", especially after losing the 08 finals with the Celtics, "soft" has become synonymous with him.

Seeing Gasol's state today, I feel a different feeling.

"Paul, you are very different today. Is there a girl you like at the scene today?" Gasol, who is usually very gentleman, actually has a desire to fight today.

"Hahaha!" Gasol didn't explain much.

Unikaha center, Sinanovic 222cm tall center, weighs 225 pounds, moves slowly; power forward, Joel Freeland, is a power forward with strong offensive ability; small forward: Carlos - Jimenez, 205CM tall; point guard Gerald, good strength; point guard Roderick.

Take a look at the Grizzlies' starting lineup: center Milicic, power forward Gasol, small forward Gay, point guard Stoudemire, point guard Miller.

Li Tian did not play, it is surprising that the No. 4 rookie of the Grizzlies did not enter the starting lineup.

But Li Tian knew that Conley and Gay were the future of the Grizzlies at this time.

Originally, Mark was not going to arrange for Gasol to play, but Gasol ran to the head coach early in the morning to apply, and he wanted to participate in the game.

At this time, Gasol replaced the head coach to cheer up all the players.

"Guys, this is my hometown, I hope we win this game and start our season well."

Seeing Gasol's performance like this, Mark didn't say too much, the game is about to start.

In order to highlight his status as the main force, Gay said, "Don't worry, Paul, I will lead everyone to win this game."

Hehe, this is the beginning of the seizure of power.

As soon as the game started, Gasol began to show off.

In the interior, it is a one-piece performance. Sinanovic is much taller than Gasol, but the gap between the two is visible to the naked eye.

Gasol took the ball to the low post and played Sinanovic with a post-up. Sinanovic was much taller and stronger than Gasol, but very slowly.

Directly using his footsteps in the low position, he turned around suddenly, and Sinanovic reacted a bit slower, and was directly broken by Gasol.

Gasol raised his hand and made a layup.

Hit the Grizzlies' first goal.

Looking back, Unikaha mainly played the inside center, and Sinanovic directly attacked Milicic. Milicic was flexible and did not stop Sinanovic's strong attack, but he still interfered with Sinanovic at the last moment Odd shot.

Gasol directly squeezed Freeland, who was stuck in front of him, from behind.

"Wow! Gasol is different today." Li Tian on the sidelines said in surprise.

"Yes, I think so too, did he take drugs yesterday?" Conley nodded in agreement with Li Tian.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and gave it directly to the fast-down Gay.

Gay made a choice that surprised everyone in that era, and even shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.

The arc was perfect, but the result was very disappointing, and the basketball came out.

Seeing Gay's shot, all the Grizzlies players covered their eyes with their hands and couldn't bear to look directly.

Roderick grabbed the rebound, counterattacked directly with a fast break, and passed the ball to Jimenez, while Gay, who was defending him, was still in the backcourt and did not return.

Jimenez made an unguarded shot.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, Gasol used his tough attitude to make people shine, and Gay's performance happened to be a stark contrast.

It suppressed the passion of the fans time and time again, and ruthlessly crushed their hopes.

Before Gay left the court, he slammed the ball on the ground to vent his anger.

Gay had a bad touch, making 6 of 1 shots and only scoring 2 points.

Mark had no choice but to make adjustments and replace Gay.

"Conley, Lee, when you go on the field, remember to cooperate. Gasol has already crushed the opponent in the paint. Don't let Gasol down."

"Ok."

"Paul, tell me secretly, are you secretly taking drugs?" Li Tian teased Gasol as soon as he played.

Gasol shook his fist and showed off his biceps.

"Haha, Paul still has muscles." Several members of the Grizzlies laughed.

It was the first time for Li Tian and Conley to play in a Grizzlies jersey, so they were somewhat nervous.

"Conley, let us tell everyone who is the best." After high-fiving Conley, he was ready to take his seat.

Hold the ball and advance past half court.

Conley directly made a breakthrough from the strong side, throwing off the defender, and Jimenez, who was defending Li Tian, ​​left Li Tian and chose to block Conley from breaking through to the basket.

Conley seized Li Tian's open opportunity, hit the ground and passed the ball, and the ball fell steadily into Li Tian's hands.

After the hard training in the summer, he has already formed muscle memory, and he is up and down with a knife.

The ball comes off the fingers, cuts through the air, and the ball flies through the air towards the basket.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Li Tian wiped his gun to celebrate.

Gasol ran over directly and touched Li Tian's hair.

"It's a very comfortable feeling, this one can have it."

Li Tian feels that this is Gasol's experience of touching Kobe's head in advance.

After Gasol touched Li Tian's hair, Li Tian also touched it, feeling that in order to protect his hair and prevent himself from becoming bald, should he change his hairstyle.

"Yes, that's the decision, I need to change my hairstyle." Li Tian made a decision.

Li Tian hit from the outside, opening up space for the Grizzlies' inside.

The cooperation of Conley and Li Tian started a wave of attacks for the Grizzlies.

Stopped Unikaha.

Unikaha called a timeout and made a new round of arrangements.

Back from the timeout, Gasol once again performed bravely.

Continuously ate Unikaha's inside line.

The audience at the scene began to rebel, shouting wildly for Gasol.

Gasol spread his arms, enjoying the roar of the crowd.

"Paul, I finally know why you acted like you were on drugs today."

Gasol stretched out his hand again and wanted to pat Li Tian again, but Li Tian dodged it coolly.

Conley's three-pointer bounced off the basket, and Gasol slammed from behind Sinanovic for a straight-up dunk.

"Paul, you are amazing!"

"Paul, we love you, you're so handsome."

Fans went wild again for Gasol's tough play.

Gasol made a supplementary dunk, which completely opened up the Grizzlies' offense.

The Grizzlies have opened up both inside and outside, and they have completely opened up the point difference with Unikahala.

Li Tian hit consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line.

Help the team maintain a 15-point lead in the first three quarters.

At the end of the third quarter, Mark also replaced Gasol.

"Li, your three-pointer is so accurate, how did you do it?" Conley celebrated by bumping his chest with Li Tian before being substituted.

Conley played very comfortably. Gasol's tough performance on the inside and the magic three-pointer from the outside marksman Li Tian made Conley's breakthrough and scoring like no one else.

Gay found his touch in the second half of the third quarter, but it was almost entering the garbage time, which did not bring him any sense of accomplishment.

Mark finally got his first game under the leadership of the team, even if it was just a preseason game, he was relieved.
