The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 129 The Other Side of Rudy Gay

Coach Rivers called a timeout on a dead ball, lowered the floor even further, took Bass, and used him at the five to deal with the bulky Marc Gasol.

Sure enough, in the first round when he was replaced, Marc Gasol did not take advantage of the matchup. On the offensive end, Bass stabbed his own ball from below, and on the defensive end, his center of gravity was also shaken by the opponent's footsteps. , Completed an open layup.

As a second-round pick, Brandon Bass was able to sign a three-year 2000 million contract this year, which speaks for itself. His offense is basically singles in the low post, using speed to get rid of defensive players.The explosive power at the basket is amazing, and he can use his body to create space.Belongs to the kind of player with strong mobility.

Top-notch dribbler among power forwards, gets to the free-throw line a lot and is a solid free-throw shooter.The shooting hand is not stable, and the breakthrough to the left often ends in shooting.The ability to capture dunk opportunities is good, and the card position and offensive rebounds are also acceptable.Likes to turn left but is unpredictable as he has a series of feints.

His biggest feature is that the offense does not need to dribble, and he can find open teammates when the defense shrinks.Simple style of play, he is a player who is willing to share the ball, and is deeply loved by coaches and teammates.

Buss' strength and athleticism make him a solid defender, but he's clearly lacking in size.Can use his body to resist big players inside, and also has quick feet to keep up with outside players, and has a good shot-blocking ability.

His rebounding ability is very good among power forwards, a bit like Millsap of the Eagles, a representative of the short and thick school.

In general, the advantages: accurate mid-range jumper, strong confrontation ability, although the height suffers from the inside, but the excellent physical fitness still guarantees the ability to protect the rebound.

Disadvantages: Shorter height, easy to be blocked by strong insiders, average offensive ability with the ball, easy to be directly shot by opponents who are much taller in defense, and often hesitates whether to break through or shoot after receiving the ball.

With the blessing of the magic pupil system, Li Ming has a countermeasure.

"Doug's active change seems to have a good effect. After all, Mark's lateral movement is too slow, and Bass can just use this to make a fuss." Larry Bird's active change for the home team Man showed appreciation.

After all, Firth is the coach of the championship here. With ordinary players and lineups, he can have a panoramic view of the advantages and disadvantages of a few rounds in front of him, and make corresponding adjustments in the fastest time.

Coach Hollins on the sidelines watched all this quietly, frowning. He didn't choose to make a substitution immediately, which would hurt Marc Gasol's self-esteem too much. He chose to let the players adjust themselves on the court.

Li Ming and Gay passed the ball to each other beyond the three-point line, confusing the Celtics players.

Since you are targeting our center forward in your offense, then I will also deal with him in the same way.

Seeing Li Ming winking at Marc Gasol, Jia immediately mentioned the line, and Li Ming quickly took advantage of his cover to break through, hitting the ball to the ground while attracting the opponent's defense.

Gasol picked up the ball without even looking at Bass. He raised his hand and made a long-range shot.

76 to 76, tied again.

"Oh, not bad, didn't you hit me with a shortcoming of slow footsteps? Then I will also hit you with a shortcoming of lack of altitude. Don't you Bass have no shooting ability? I have it. I won't go in and fight with you. , I will use my touch to fight you on the outside." O'Neill said loudly.

Marc Gasol is his favorite player, yes, after all, he is a player who relies on his body and talent, and Mark has the range he envies most! !
Statistics show that when Marc Gasol gets the ball near the free throw line, he still has a shooting percentage of nearly [-]% when facing the defense, which is much higher than the starting point guards of many teams. It can be seen that he soft touch.

The Celtics' offense was very smooth under Rondo's sorting out. No, the ball was in the hands of Bass again. He wanted to hit Gasol again in the same way, but when he turned around, Li Ming Already cut the ball away.

"Rudy!!" After stealing the ball, Li Ming hardly looked at the opponent's backcourt. He just turned around and threw the ball.

Guy, who was in the crowd, told Running that he arrived at the opponent's half at the speed of light almost at the same time, and with a diving leap, came a domineering tomahawk snap.

The record garden arena suddenly became quieter.There were even some young fans wearing Gay’s jerseys in the crowd. They should have come to the away game with their parents. They danced excitedly, kept shouting and dancing in Gay’s direction, hoping that their idols could see themselves cheering for him. look.

"How many meters did Rudy fly this ball?" Larry Bird turned his head and asked Shaquille O'Neal next to him.

O'Neal shrugged, "I dare say that even now, there will not be more than three players in the league who can physically surpass Rudy! Except for LeBron James and Andre Iguodala, I really don't think so. I have never seen anyone with such talent at the small forward position!"

Rudy is a caring person. In addition to being on the court, he is also very caring in the community, which is why he was invited by the councilor last time.

On April 2010, 4, Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay received the March NBA Cares Community Contribution Award from the NBA.This is in recognition of his outstanding contributions in community service, and the encouragement and spur of his tireless and generous community work.

Gay used to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and donated $22222.22 himself to the hospital. This is his jersey number.He called on a group of NBA players and Nuggets coach George Karl to support the hospital's work.

In the early days of the hospital, Guy visited the hospital many times, and he realized that the power of the public service can bring great help to patients and their families.Later, during the live broadcast of the Grizzlies game, he called on the world to care more about children's hospitals.

For the Grizzlies star, caring for children and their families is an important part of his career. In addition to the hospital, Gay also established the Memphis Grizzlies Home, a temporary home not far from the St. Jude campus. organize.

In addition to contributing to the construction of the Children's Hospital, Guy helped the Stax Academy of Music for three consecutive years.This conservatory brings students music instruction, wonderful performance opportunities, and allows students to showcase and improve their Qingyue talents.

Every year, Guy visits the college, interacts with the students, meets sponsors, and helps the college get $9 a year in sponsorship.In addition, Gay will also call on his friends in the basketball circle and colleagues in the sports world to contribute to the public welfare of Memphis.

By the way, Guy himself plays the saxophone well. It's hard to imagine that a character like him can sit still. Learning an instrument is so boring.
