Chapter 846 The Clippers Bad Boys Who Recovered Their Status
At the beginning, the Memphis Grizzlies agreed to trade with the Lakers and agreed to send Gasol, the biggest star in the team, to the Lakers. signing rights.

The Grizzlies believe that Gasol already has the ability to play in the NBA and gain a foothold in the NBA.

Especially in the BJ Olympics last year, Gasol Jr. played a very wonderful performance on behalf of the Spanish men's basketball team, and he did not lose the wind in the inside competition with Howard, Bosh and other all-star-level insiders.

The "twin towers" formed by him and his brother Gasol made the US team break out in a cold sweat in the final.

Seeing Gasol's performance like this, the Grizzlies made up their minds and officially brought Gasol to the NBA last season.

Gasol, who is no longer a rookie, is advancing towards the heights achieved by his brother.

In the game against the Clippers led by Lan Shengli, Gasol Jr. showed a versatile performance on both offense and defense.

Can support, can attack the frame, can block the shot.

The Grizzlies also led the Clippers by five points after the first quarter under Gasol's performance.

Gasol played 7 minutes in this quarter and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.

"All I can think of now is the impact of physical factors on Gasol's subsequent game process. Gasol's game was very intense in the first quarter. Maybe he will rest a little longer in the second quarter, plus a halftime break. , It should be slowed down, but if the game reaches the final critical moment, I'm afraid it won't be slowed down in a while~"

Here Lan Shengli was thinking.

"Let's not care about that much. While Gasol is not on the court, we must quickly catch up with the score, or even overtake it, and widen the point difference~"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

"Pau Gasol should not be back in a short time. Everyone should play more inside. If the pick-and-roll encounters a big delay, you will quickly release the ball. Johnson, you must be ready to respond at any time near the place where the pick-and-roll occurs~!!"

Here Lan Shengli quickly explained to the team members.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, and the two sides showed a lot of substitute players.

"Tap, brush~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Because Gasol Jr., the only inside barrier on the Grizzlies side, was not on the court, the Clippers' offense resolutely hit the inside and succeeded.

The Grizzlies bench is indeed sitting on an insider who is over 220 centimeters tall and taller than Gasol Jr., the Iranian Haddadi.

But this extremely slow player seems to be more easily targeted by Lan Shengli.

With the Clippers hitting the basket consecutively and succeeding, the Clippers tied the score and achieved a go-ahead.

Here, the Grizzlies' young backup point guard made another mistake after breaking through.

The passing intention of breaking through the ball was too obvious. Johnson blocked the ball in the air and directly played a counterattack fast break.

Johnson added speed, and the Grizzlies' defense was already far behind.

"Duang~!!!"

Johnson single-handedly completed a one-handed dunk that steals the fast break.

As a young team like the Clippers, the Grizzlies have too many young players. Even if they do not make mistakes in one or two rounds, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make mistakes all the time.

With this counterattack and fast break, the Clippers have already led by 5 points.

The second quarter has already won by 10 points.

"Dum~!!!"

Grizzlies coach Hollins couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

The Grizzlies with Gasol and the Grizzlies without Gasol are simply two teams.

"Continue to stick to this style of play, very good~!!, if the opponent suspends the substitution and replaces Gasol, we will use the pick-and-roll method to transfer Gasol~!"

Here Lan Shengli reminded the team members.

After returning from the timeout, Gasol really returned to the field.

In addition to the previous inter-section break, Gasol has been sitting off the court for about 15 minutes, and his physical fitness must be able to recover.

I just don't know if my body has cooled down after sitting for such a long time.

Here, Lan Shengli also guessed that Hollins would make such an adjustment, so he directly replaced Jordan.

The two of them must be on par in this game.

Here the Grizzlies attacked, and the ball quickly came to Gasol Jr.'s hands.

This time Gasol came to the low post and played Jordan.

In terms of strength confrontation, Gasol Jr. also seems to have a certain advantage, and Jr. Jordan is a bit difficult to carry behind.

Seeing this, Hill on the outside was ready to double-team to interfere with Gasol's dribbling.

Seeing this, Gasol turned around towards the baseline, then dribbled two steps, and threw the ball with a small hook.

Gasol seemed a little anxious to attack this time.

Under the strict defense of Jordan not losing his position, he made a forced shot. This kind of offense seems a bit too reluctant.

"Clang~~"

The ball hit the side edge of the basket in the other direction and failed to score.

"Rebound~!!"

Lan Shengli reminded that Harden jumped high and grabbed the rebound.

Because Harden himself is a guard, and Hill is far away from him, so he didn't pass the ball, and directly dribbled towards the frontcourt.

"If you get a backcourt rebound and have a chance to break fast, you must play resolutely, and you must make a shot before Gasol returns~!!"

Here Harden was thinking about Lan Shengli's arrangement before, and his determination to speed up was even firmer.

Although Harden's advance speed is not very fast, the Grizzlies' return to defense here is not so timely.

After Harden came to the three-point line, he looked at the position of his teammates from the corner of his eye, and did not rush to attack.

"If Jordan is about to follow up, Johnson, you have to cover him near the free throw line, keep Gasol out of the paint, and escort Jordan in, just like football tactics~!! "

Here, Johnson was also thinking about Lan Shengli's previous tactical arrangement, and soon came to the free throw line, a positioning screen, and directly "locked" Gasol out of the paint.

Little Jordan went to the basket alone. Seeing this, Harden sent the ball directly to the basket.

Little Jordan looked at the flying ball, leaped high, and received the ball in the air~~
"Duang~!!!"

Violently filled the frame with both hands.

The alley-oop between Jordan and his teammates seems to have become a repertoire of every game for the Clippers.

"Yeah~!!!"

Jordan's pleasing slam dunk also made the fans of the Staples Center cheer up.

The Clippers' offensive climax continues, and the point difference continues to widen.

After a quarter and a half, the Clippers players finally recovered their form.
