Chapter 151 Gasol Returns

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Lakers won the Washington Wizards at home.

Kobe turned into a little blacksmith again, shooting 24 of 7 from the field. Fortunately, other players exploded again, pulling the Lakers back from the lifeline of death.

这场比赛李天12中8拿到20分，滑雪男也非常高效11中7拿到18分，替补席也足够出色沃顿的8中7其中三分5中4，武贾西奇也打出了一场高效的比赛9中6。

If it weren't for the other players, Little Blacksmith would have given the game away, but that's it, and almost lost the game, winning by a narrow 120-126.

After half a month of lack of major generals, the Lakers also ushered in good news. The next game will welcome back Gasol, who has been absent for half a month. The Lakers can be said to have ushered in a complete body this season.

Bynum has been reimbursed for the season and has no chance to return this season. Ariza will have the chance to return in the semifinals at the earliest. Gasol's return can be said to be the strongest lineup of the Lakers this season.

There are still two days before the next game. Phil arranged for some tactical training in these two days, mainly for the playoffs. The playoffs and the regular season are not at the same level. To withstand the pressure in the post-match, more arrangements need to be made.

"Paul, I'm so happy that you finally returned to the team." On behalf of others, Kobe took the lead in welcoming Gasol's return.

"Haha, do you miss me a little bit? You lost several games without me." On Gasol's handsome face, several fists the size of sandbags hit him in an instant.

"Let you be arrogant." Fisher was the first to speak, just a kick.

"Fisher, can't you catch my handsome face, and you actually hit my knee." Gasol didn't get too much impact, and couldn't help but twitched.

"Paul, I'm not finished with you, don't expect me to give you even a pass in the game." Old Fish was angry.

"Hahaha, I can grab rebounds by myself." Responding, Fisher was so angry that he insisted on one-on-one with Gasol to see who had the fastest breakthrough speed.

"Paul, how can you gain weight again?" Li Tian touched Paul's bloated belly.

"Get lost!" I still couldn't help but glanced at my stomach. "I'm not fat at all. Just now Phil gave me a test. You kid lied to me."

The training hall at this time, it doesn't look like a team training hall, it's just a bunch of kids.

With the assistant coaches, various lineup trainings are arranged.

During Gasol's absence for half a month, he also tasted the sweetness of Li Tian's mention of starting. It can not only open up space, but also give Kobe time to rest when Kobe is tired.

After half a month of training on the field, Li Tian's breakthrough has improved a lot. Although he is not as threatening as Kobe, he still has an advantage over the breakthroughs of other Lakers players.

After staying with the Lakers for more than a month, he has a deeper understanding of the triangle offense.

At the end of the training, he stopped Gasol, who was about to leave, and said, "Paul, would you like to help you find your form? After resting for so long, you definitely need to train more to get back your form."

"Haha, tell me, is there anything you need to ask me?" Gasol said with a smile.

"No, no, you have already been drained by me. Besides, we are about to enter the playoffs now. If you want to learn new skills, the playoffs are not the place to hone your skills. What you want to learn most now is the combination of man and ball. , Do you know this?" He gave Gasol a blank look and said angrily.

"Then why are you calling me?" Although I have played as a guard and practiced dribbling, I really can't play this game. I can dribble, but I can't do it with the combination of man and ball.

"I still want to hone my skills at the basket. I have played a lot of time as a center recently. I found that my footsteps near the basket are a bit stuck. I need to hone it. Maybe there will be some breakthroughs." I didn't hide it from Gasol, honestly Explain the problem
"What did you say? There is still room for improvement in your footwork under the basket?" Gasol was shocked again. This guy's footsteps can still be improved. This is still not human.

'The current him, I have a success rate of more than 5% in singles. If he improves, he will be the same as Yao Ming, hitting me every time he sees me? ' thought Gasol.

"Yes, it's just that there is always something missing. I don't know if it's because I haven't tempered enough. Even if I can't break through, more training can increase my experience, right?" Now I'm just thinking, try to see if I can break through, if If you can't break through, you can increase your own experience.

"Okay, you can call Kobe, you also know that his footsteps are not ordinary, and he has learned from Dameng." Gasol felt that he might not be able to help him make a breakthrough, and adding Kobe might be effective better.

"Kobe, come on, help Lee train his footwork around the basket. If you are smart enough, it will improve for you." Gasol called Kobe, who was training his left-handed shot.

Kobe has long coveted Li Tian's footsteps, but because of face, he doesn't understand the traditional virtue of not being ashamed to ask, and he has never experienced 9 years of compulsory education.

"No problem." Without refusing, he followed.

"Let's get started," Gasol said.

Hold the ball to the left 45 degrees and two steps away from the penalty area.

Looking at the magical footsteps on the field, Kobe was also fascinated, as if he forgot that he came to help him and improve his footsteps.

After twenty minutes of training, the two were a little tired, so they asked.

"How is it? Do you have any suggestions?" Li Tian asked with a smile.

"Er, this, that, I was just now." A little embarrassed, he hesitated and couldn't say anything.

I thought it was because I had too many problems. After all, Kobe had low education, so it is possible that he didn't know how to express it.

"It's okay if I don't know how to say it. If there are too many questions, you can talk slowly. If it's too late, I'll treat you to dinner and say slowly that you don't have to worry." Said flatly.

"Well, I'm sorry, I was just admiring your footsteps and forgot to observe the problem." Kobe was a little embarrassed, and he was even more embarrassed. He didn't find the problem, but started to steal by himself.

"Ah, Kobe, you are too unprofessional, you are also learning Lee's footsteps, right?" Gasol asked.

"This, I want to learn, but I feel that this is difficult to learn." Kobe became hesitant.

"Hahaha, Kobe is okay. I have tried to learn it for a long time, but it has been almost a season, and I still haven't learned it. Li said he learned Tai Chi." Gasol, who is a good teacher, began his 10-minute explanation.

Unexpectedly, Gasol, a foreigner, could say so much.

"Paul, how do you know so much?" Then he asked.

"Hahaha, I searched online, and I spent some money, so don't worry about that, how do you know a lot?" Gasol said.

"Indeed, you should all go to China in summer, right? You can choose to go to China after the season is over. I have the opportunity to show you, and you will pay all the expenses yourself." Li Tian said.

"No problem, do you want to learn this footwork? How about you come and pay for us to go to Tianchao together?" Gasol looked at Kobe.

"Okay, but you guys need to practice again before I can say something." Kobe said.

"Go and experience it for yourself."

The three of them started low-post training and sparring, and recorded all of these, so that they can watch and imitate when they are free.

Welcome back Gasol's first game, is against the Portland Trail Blazers at home, once again placed on the bench.

The Trail Blazers this season can be said to be the team that most gratifies fans, but also the team that most disappoints fans.

After the end of last season, the owners of the No. [-] pick chose Greg Oden, who can be said to be the favorite of heaven, but he didn't even start a game, so he was directly reimbursed for the season.

From the initial imagination of the fans, returning to the playoffs in one year, they will have the opportunity to hit the championship three years later. The start of the game is a basin of cold water, telling them not to dream anymore.

Fortunately, Roy and Aldridge played very well, but they still have no chance to make the playoffs, above the tail of the playoffs.

At the beginning of the game, in order to give Gasol a chance to adapt, Phil deliberately slowed down the team's speed a lot. It's just so willful, with a guaranteed record. Phil doesn't have to worry. As long as there are no problems, the Western Conference will The first is no problem.

The Blazers had a certain advantage at the beginning. In the second quarter, after Kobe broke through, Li Tian frequently succeeded in the outside line, tearing open the Blazers' defense line, and the young Blazers suffered from defensive experience.

In the third quarter, under the crazy defense of Kobe and Li Tian, ​​they only scored 13 points. They were completely defeated by the Lakers and lost the courage to fight.

The bold Phil let Odom and Li Tian play the last quarter with substitutes, and began to strictly control the playing time of Kobe and Gasol.

In the first game of Jia's return, he only surrendered a poor 8-of-3, but with Kobe's 36 points and Li Tian's 19 points, plus 7 players scoring in double figures, the Lakers still easily won the game.

"Paul, you're back. I can finally be free. I don't have to work hard at the basket and fight for rebounds." During this period of playing as a center, I often have bruises and bruises on my body. I have to play some baskets every game. The muscles below collide.

"Haha, during your offseason, you should need to gain weight. You are still too thin, and it will be more difficult to get stuck in the basket. You need a weight gain plan." Kobe suggested.

"I will, but this offseason I can only gain weight to 105 kg, because the adaptation time is too short, and too much weight gain will affect my feel." A corresponding weight gain plan has already been formulated.

"If you need anything, you can tell me in advance." Kobe is happy to help, after all, he also hopes to learn footwork from him.

Several people chatted about the weight gain plan and gave various suggestions.
