The world of basketball

Chapter 80 For LaMarcus
From the score in the first quarter, we can see the degree of defense of both sides.

Especially when Mu Xiaobei missed all the first four shots, the Spurs failed to score in the first 4 minutes, and they still scored for the Spurs by relying on Mudiay's layup and making free throws.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mu Xiaobei stayed off the court to rest.

The old Gasol really had a hard time this season. He originally played the role of an off-court mentor for the Spurs, but he didn't expect to have to enter the rotation as the team's second center on the court.

But Gasol is also enjoying it. Although this handsome Spanish uncle is not as good as before, his experience and his reading of the game have improved to a higher level.

Gasol and Chandler are two fossil products on the court. As the No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick in [-], both of them are super insiders who have experienced many ups and downs.

And now, they all play very important roles in the team, which makes them very happy. In many cases, being needed is always a very happy thing.

When Mu Xiaobei humbly asked Gasol for advice, Gasol was very happy, because it meant that his glorious career had influenced many people, and he was also willing to pass on what he knew to this humble man who also came from a non-American country. polite lad.

Gasol is a very elegant person, both emotional intelligence and IQ on the court are very high, he is also humble, never aggressive, and never asks others to follow his ideas just because his tactical status is more important To change something about himself.

This is also the reason why he can be respected by his teammates, coaches and fans every time he goes to a team, and he can form a deep friendship with his teammates.

Even Kobe, the lonely paranoid Kobe was able to form a deep friendship with Gasol.

Everyone knows that Kobe is very strong and works very hard, so he feels that everyone should work as hard as him, and he doesn't like many people, not because those people are not high-level, but because these people obviously have very high But they don't know how to cherish their talents.

But Kobe is different, he also has extraordinary talent, and he also works very hard to never waste his talent, so he is Kobe, the only black Mamba in NBA history.

But at the same time Kobe has a high desire to possess. In the history of the NBA, all the stars with high historical status have a high desire to possess the ball. Kobe, James, McGrady, Iverson, Jordan O'Neal and so on.

Because they want to win, and at the same time they have an absolute level of ability, they know that as long as the ball is in their hands, they can win for the team through their own efforts.

Therefore, Kobe and O'Neal will be unhappy. The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and their parting ways is inevitable.

However, Gasol perfectly catered to Kobe's characteristics. Kobe needed the ball, but Gasol didn't particularly occupy the ball. He averaged about 18.8 shots per game and scored about [-] points, which was very efficient. .

The most important thing is that he can support, whether it is high support or low singles, he can provide very effective help to the team.

To be honest, Gasol is not an insider with a strong desire to score. Among the active insiders, Mr. Jokic is a bit like Gasol, but Gasol does not have such a high body fat percentage, and Gasol is handsome. Some, and in addition to Jokic's very strong coping ability, his organizational ability is also very strong.

Coordinating and organizing are not the same thing.

And Mu Xiaobei can send out six assists per game, which is not only related to the Spurs' style of play, but also has a lot to do with Mu Xiaobei's passing ability.

When he came to the Spurs, it was Gasol who guided Mu Xiaobei's passing and support the most. If Mu Xiaobei can become a very good support insider, Gasol's guidance has contributed a lot.

Of course, the most assists Gasol has sent in his career is only 4.7 per game, which is much less than Jokic's 8 assists per game this season.

But data often confuses our eyes.

For example, on the court now, Gasol has sent out five assists.

Gasol has a stable shooting ability in the high position, and it is mentioned that his passing vision in the high position is better than that of Adelaide, because Adelaide's first task after receiving the ball is to score in singles, and Gasol receives the ball in a high position. After the ball, I always look at the position of my teammates.

For example, this time he easily found Lonnie Walker who was cutting the baseline and sent a pass. Lonnie Walker made a reverse basket and scored.

In the second quarter, as soon as the Spurs' second team came up, the situation on the field finally stabilized, and the Spurs were chasing points bit by bit.

Four minutes into the second quarter, generally speaking, the two sides should have replaced the core players long ago, but the two sides have never had a dead ball. Finally, this embarrassing situation was broken by Lonnie Walker's goal.

The Spurs replaced Mu Xiaobei, Alder, Jeremy Lin, replaced Mudiay, Kuzma and Gasol, leaving Lonnie Walker and Belinelli.

The Lakers have a lineup of James, Ball, Stephenson, Chandler and Ingram.

Brother Qiu holds the ball, Chandler picks and rolls at a high position, Mu Xiaobei delays outside, and Brother Qiu runs the pick-and-roll to form a dislocation against Mu Xiaobei, but Brother Qiu does not continue to break through, but pulls outside to play one.

After pulling away, the dislocation between Chandler and Jeremy Lin was obvious, and Brother Qiu passed the ball very well.

But Adelaide immediately let go of Ingram to double-team Chandler. Chandler's passing route was blocked, so he could only push Jeremy Lin, and scored the ball with a basket.

very tough.

There is nothing wrong with the defense of this ball, but Chandler scored it.

The Spurs attacked, Aldridge put his back against Ingram, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Aldridge in a high-profile manner, Aldridge turned his back and hit it, and then immediately fell back for a jumper.

Ingram followed closely and defended tightly. The ball hit the basket with a "tie--" sound, and Chandler protected Mu Xiaobei for a rebound.

"Beep—" The referee blew the whistle, which was much later than the normal whistle.

The fans in the stadium became noisy. Before Mu Xiaobei could understand what happened, he turned his head immediately, only to see Adelaide lying on the ground, clutching his ankle in pain, rolling on the field.

Mu Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat, wouldn't it?No!
The referee went to watch the replay, and the big screen showed Adelaide's fadeaway jumper and Ingram's defense just now.

There is no problem with taking off, and there is no problem with the shot, but there is a problem with landing.

The scene of Aldridge landing on Ingram's feet was replayed over and over again on the big screen, and the Spurs players on the bench covered their heads.

The team doctor ran over and lay down on the ground to ask some questions about Ade, while others brought a stretcher and carried Ade on the stretcher, which seemed to be very serious.

The team's veterans all prayed for Adelaide, and the game entered a timeout.

"The situation of LaMarcus is not known yet," Popovich said: "But we have to win this game, whether it is for ourselves or for LaMarcus, if we can't win this game, our future The situation will be even more difficult.”

Well, for LaMarcus.

For the team.

Also for myself.
