Chapter 1253 The Hot Dog Boy Who Is Already the Face of the Team (Part [-])
"The opponent is a team that likes a slow pace, so what we have to do is to speed up, speed up, and speed up again, so that the opponent can't find a good rhythm of the game. In this way, we will have an advantage. The other thing is to pay attention Mark’s ability to cope with this point, we must try our best to avoid back-running, empty cuts, etc., pay more attention to the opponent’s running position, and get the position of the rebound~”

Before the game against the Grizzlies, Lan Shengli told the players.

The players nodded and listened.

The Clippers are now competing with the Thunder for the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference, so every game counts.

As for the Grizzlies, the tenth position in the West makes them have to win more victories as soon as possible to return to the top eight in the West.

"3, 2, 1~"

"Clippers~!!!"

After another neat and loud slogan, the game began.

Because this is not the first time Lan Shengli and Gasol have met on the court, so the two did not have much intersection before the game.

"The former hot dog boy is already the face of the team~!"

It's just that when Lan Shengli watched Gasol practice free throws, he secretly sighed.

Indeed, Gasol's growth rate in recent years is indeed obvious to all.

The talking room of the game started soon.

The Clippers' starting lineup is still unchanged, and the Grizzlies, point guard Conley, and "scoring" guard Tony Allen, his score really needs quotation marks, so he can't be called a "defensive guard".

Small forward Gay, power forward, Griffin is replaced by big pitcher Speights and center Gasol Jr.

After the Grizzlies got the first wave of offensive possession, Gasol played Jordan in the low post.

"For a center like Jordan, what he fears the most is a powerful inside line like Gasol. It's really hard to defend~!!, after all, Jordan's bottom plate strength is not very stable~"

"As for Gasol Jr., he likes to back-up Jr. Jordan, a player who is good at jumping but not good at confrontation~"

Seeing that Gasol hit Jordan on the back as soon as he came up, Lan Shengli analyzed it.

Accompanied by Lan Shengli's analysis, Gasol relied on his own tonnage advantage very strongly to crush into the inside line, directly pressing Jordan's right hand and throwing the ball.

Just like what Lan Shengli analyzed before, after being completely crushed by Gasol's strength advantage, Jordan couldn't take off at all, so he could only straighten his arms and interfere as much as possible.

But to what extent it can interfere is hard to say.

"Beep~!!!"

As soon as Gasol made a shot here, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Swipe~!!"

At the same time, the ball went hollow into the net.

"Yeah!!!"

The FedEx Center, home of the Grizzlies, immediately burst into cheers.

The Grizzlies are such a team that mainly focuses on the inside. Their basketball philosophy is to kill the inside as much as possible, and the inside is king.

Jordan looked at the referee very aggrieved, thinking that he did not make any foul actions, but the referee insisted on his penalty, thinking that Jordan had pushed someone before Gasol shot.

"Tell Love and DeAndre to switch defenses next round~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately greeted Billups and reminded him.

Billups heard this, nodded, and quickly explained to the two parties.

After all, Love is a player who is more like Gasol Jr., and the two are similar in type. Whether it is offense or defense, they should be more adaptable.

"Swipe~!!"

While speaking, Gasol Jr. made a free throw, and it became a "2+1" as soon as he came up.

Here Billups attacked with the ball.

Seeing that Love also wanted the ball to hit Speights back, Billups also quickly passed the ball.

Love, who received the ball, hit Speights on his back.

Although the latter's height is not as high as Le Fu's, his lower body strength is very stable, and Le Fu's hard top is really immobile.

But after all, the Clippers' offense is three-dimensional, so while Love is playing back, other players have been covering, hoping to create better shooting space.

I saw that Harden took advantage of Jordan's high cover, got rid of the defense, and rushed towards the inside.

And Love also showed his excellent coping ability, directly passing the ball to Harden with a very concealed ground hit.

After Harden received the ball very comfortably, he directly made a three-step basket.

Because Harden walks on the left-hand side, it seems difficult to affect Harden's layup.

"Since you can't seal it from the side, then from the back~!!"

I saw that Harden had already lifted the ball with his left hand and wiped it towards the backboard, when Gasol Jr. suddenly appeared from behind Harden.

"Crack~!!!"

Gasol's big palm was like a bear's paw. He aimed at the ball and directly sealed the ball to the backboard with one palm.

Pressed firmly on the backboard.

Give Harden a ruthless hot pot.

"Oh~!!!"

The audience cheered again.

As soon as Gasol came up, he had brilliant operations on both ends of the offense and defense, and he was indeed very strong.

Although Harden protested to the referee that he was suspected of interfering with the ball, the referee ignored it and Speights took the rebound.

"Gasol Jr. has really improved again~, the anticipation of the defense and the timing of the fire are more appropriate, which allows Gasol Jr. to make up for the problem of a slightly slow defensive pace~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

Here the Grizzlies quickly attacked again.

Seeing that Love was defending him, Gasol didn't go to the inside to fight hard, but came to the outside to support him.

Just when the Clippers' defensive focus was on Conley and Gay, the two arrows, Gasol suddenly made a lob pass to Tony Allen, who ran to the inside to get stuck.

Because Harden adopted a defense around the front, Gasol's pass directly tore through the Clippers' defense.

Tony Allen, the iron gate on the defensive end, after receiving the ball, directly used a very tough backward posture, leaned against Harden, and completed a layup.

"Click~, brush~!!"

The ball hits steadily.

An assist from Gasol Jr.

"In just two rounds, Gasol showed such a variety of offensive methods, which is really surprising~ Although I have watched a lot of video highlights before, but I don't watch them now from the sidelines. It’s so shocking, if Gasol continues to fight with this momentum, I don’t think it’s impossible to surpass his brother’s status~!!”

Lan Shengli has already forgotten his identity as the head coach of the Clippers, and kept praising the Maxima he had in mind at the beginning.
