super small forward

Chapter 323 323. Brother Gasol

To say that now, Gasol Jr. has achieved much more than his brother except for the championship, but some people still think that he is not as good as his brother. The reason is very simple, personal offensive ability.

Gasol is a well-known offensive kaleidoscope at the power forward position, while Gasol Jr. has always been mediocre in singles. Facing defensive champions, except for holding high and hitting high, he basically only has mid-range shots. Most of his points are catches. After the outside shot or cut layup.

This time Gasol and Jeremy Lin flanked Conley, and Gasol Jr. was unguarded in the high position!
A mid-range push shot!
Gasol Jr. is a bit like his brother. He shoots shots standing on tiptoe on the floor. Both brothers have excellent wingspan. They are [-] feet [-] inch tall in the NBA. Few people shoot standing up. Can be covered.

Barely a shot with no arc!
Little Gasol feels good today!

Gasol has nothing to do with this shot of Gasol Jr. This kind of mid-range player makes defenders feel very awkward.

Gasol's lack of offensive means can also attract defenses on the offensive end to create air cuts or open shooting opportunities for teammates, because he has the medium and long-range shooting ability that European insiders have!
Gasol usually relies on this to make others uncomfortable, but when he meets his younger brother Gasol, he is the one who feels uncomfortable.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

The others did not steal the limelight, and handed the ball to Liu Ren, who had the greatest advantage in the matchup.

Liu Ren showed no intention of giving in. He dribbled the ball and looked at the defense given by the Grizzlies.

Randolph is a meat wall, and Gasol Jr. uses his lateral movement ability that does not match his weight to build a strong defense in the interior with Randolph's meat wall.

In just a few seconds, Liu Ren saw that Gasol's defense had changed several times according to the Lakers' running positions. He thought that Gasol deserved to be the best defensive player. It is estimated that there is no second one in the league. It is estimated that Howard may be at his peak. Now among these centers, Jordan still relies on jumping defense, Drummond still relies on instinct in defense, and Whiteside is strong in rebounding and blocking shots, winning two consecutive championships. At the peak of the period, Gasol was a bit like that, but he had too many things to do, and he couldn't be like Gasol Jr. in addition to supporting and defending.

Gasol also needs a personal offense, while Gasol's personal offense is purely incidental.

Relying on teammates' running positions to collect statistics is not reliable. Fortunately, the Lakers are not the kind of team that wins purely by tactics, they rely more on personal ability!
Liu Ren's observation only lasted three or four seconds, and his ability to read defenses is getting stronger and stronger.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ren voted directly!
With 14 seconds left, the five members of the Grizzlies team did not expect Liu Ren to make such a sudden shot, especially Jeff Green, who was defending Liu Ren, thought that Liu Ren should at least make a breakthrough, and stepped back half a step to prevent Liu Ren from making a sudden breakthrough. He didn't even reach out his hand.

The sound of "bang" was the same as when Liu Ren felt the ball was crooked when he shot it, and he hit the iron directly, but Liu Ren didn't show any regret or lost expression. Worried, the Grizzlies didn't expect Liu Ren to make such a shot, but the Lakers have long been used to it!

In front of Kobe and Liu Ren, the two big wave shooting kings, the worst thing is the offensive rebound!
"Bang"!
"Drummond...Green...!" The live DJ cheered passionately, completely mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.

With Green falling from the basket and showing a silly smile, the fans in the audience cheered loudly.

The big screen played back the scene just now, and Green jumped up on the spot, pressing the ball back to the basket with both hands!

Liu Ren and Green clapped hands, feeling a little proud in their hearts: "Look, Brother Zhuban is also so powerful."

The word "helper board" came from the domestic fans who ridiculed Kobe Bryant in those years when he made wild shots and relied on the inside to grab boards to score points.

But this booster depends on who the insider is. Griffin, who just entered the league, is the best beneficiary of the booster.

In fact, Green's jumping height is not bad, but his explosive power is a bit weak, but his relatively average explosive power is different when he meets the old Randolph, and he looks quite good. After Gasol was pulled out by his brother Gasol , Green's advantage over Randolph is obvious.

Looking back, the Grizzlies' offense is still the old routine, with Conley attracting double-teams, but this time he broke through with the ball!
Kobe's defense relied on speed to break through, and an opponent with that speed was really like a traffic commander, and he was given one step.

The Lakers took an active defensive rotation. Jeremy Lin stepped up immediately. Gasol also left Gasol and returned to the inside to defend Conley. Although Jeremy Lin caught up, he was just chasing. Conley took the lead, and Jeremy Lin would definitely not be able to catch up, so Gasol let go of Gasol again.

Really accurate!
With no one defending, Gasol made another mid-range push.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

Liu Ren attacked with the ball from the top arc, Jeremy Lin was honestly waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line, Kobe was in the bottom corner, Green was covered by Gasol Jr. in the interior, Gasol was in the middle distance on the left, and he was defended by Jeff Green.

As embarrassing as it is for the Lakers to guard Gasol Jr., other teams usually don't know how to defend Gasol.

This time Liu Ren didn't have a chance to make a cold shot. That kind of thing can only be played once, and the opponent is already on defense. Although Jeff Green has not improved his offensive end for many years, his physical fitness is really good, and his personal defense is not small for Liu Ren. pressure.

Although the 30-year-old Jeff Green has begun to decline in terms of speed, bounce, and explosive power, he is now at the peak of his strength, and the pressure on Liu Ren is really not small.

Without a chance to shoot, Liu Ren chose to break through!

Liu Ren dribbled the ball with his right hand, put his left hand in front of his chest, took a step with his left foot, followed by a step with his right heel, and made two consecutive strides, a tentative step with the ball.

Suddenly, Liu Ren moved horizontally to the left.

Jeff Green's tense nerve reflex made him jump directly to the left.

be cheated!Liu Ren forcibly retracted his stepping foot, straight into the inside line!
The Grizzlies have done a very good job of making up defense and assisting defense!Tony Allen immediately blocked Liu Ren's attacking route, protecting his crotch with both hands!

There was a trace of regret in Liu Ren's eyes, Tony Allen was making a foul and was about to dive as soon as he touched him!The guy who was the best defensive team a few years ago has fallen to this point this year!

Time is the sharpest knife, always killing people invisible.

This was just a flash of thought in Liu Ren's mind, about to hit Tony Allen, Liu Ren's body and brain made the best choice and turned around beautifully!

Liu Ren turned around and bypassed Tony Allen!
