The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Now that the baby is 7 months old, Olson is very inconvenient to move, so he has to accompany him when he has time.

However, Olsen also understood Tang Tian quite well, and drove Tang Tian to the arena early the next morning.

She knew that right after the team lost, Tang Tian habitually practiced extra.

There is a nanny at home to take care of him around the clock. After Olsen said so, Tang Tian also went to the arena early the next day.

It was only 6:[-] when he arrived, which was already very early, but what he didn't expect was that there were already two people in the training hall.

One was Alexander, sweating profusely and soaking wet.

Parker praised Alexander very early on, and said that Alexander's future achievements will definitely be higher than Murray's.

You must know that Murray played very well in the Cavaliers this season, averaging 15+6+5 per game.

Now it seems that although Alexander hasn't played that kind of performance yet, judging from this attitude, Parker's vision should be right.

It wasn't too surprising that Alexander appeared in the arena, but the other one surprised him.

Marc Gasol.

Because he did not complete the physical examination yesterday, although he arrived in New Orleans, he has not yet reported to the team.

I didn't expect to come here for training this early in the morning!

And judging by the way his clothes are wetter than Alexander's, he should... have more developed sweat glands.

Seeing Tang Tian coming, Alexander was a little nervous, but Gasol took the initiative to come over to say hello to Tang Tian.

The two had never been teammates before, but they actually played against each other a lot.

Needless to say in the NBA, before the Pelicans won the championship, the Grizzlies eliminated the Pelicans, and the Pelicans avenged the Grizzlies. Both teams were old enemies.

And of course the international arena.

Tang Tian led the weak Chinese men's basketball team to win against Spain at the London Olympics. That experience was quite unforgettable for Gasol.

Now that the two have become teammates, naturally there will be no shortage of topics.

Gasol's size and experience are very similar to Jokic.

They are all big European Pyrenees. Before entering the NBA, they were all overweight, and even entered the NBA with a low pick.

But after entering the NBA, they all lost weight successfully, and then played their own tricks.

But Gasol is a senior, and his personality is completely different from Jokic.

Although not as talkative as Bojan, Gasol is extroverted and doesn't match Jokic's shyness.

"I'm 120% looking forward to the next game."

Gasol is also unable to hide the excitement.

His excitement was justified.

Brothers, younger brothers naturally have a sense of dependence and yearning for elder brothers.

It is also a coincidence to say that when the Lakers traded for Paul Gasol, Marc Gasol was one of the bargaining chips.

Paul Gasol did nothing with the Grizzlies until he left Memphis and went to Los Angeles, where he won two consecutive championships with Kobe and made a big comeback.

Now the same is happening with Marc Gasol.

Although he has made a lot of playoffs with the Grizzlies, he has accomplished nothing in general.

At the end of his career, the Grizzlies are doing badly, and his future is even more bleak.

But now, although he is a bit late, he has also come to the favorite team to win the championship like Pau Gasol.

His NBA career is likely to change!

Moreover, during the chat, Tang Tian also learned some details of the trade deadline.

The Grizzlies have been insisting on asking for Kuzma, otherwise they will not send Gasol to the Pelicans.

And the Raptors also stepped up their pursuit, adding two second rounds to the original one.

This is totally worth it, a second round is not enough for the Raptors to make a qualitative difference, they can add it.

The Grizzlies are basically determined to send Gasol to the Raptors.

But Gasol contacted the Grizzlies after knowing it, saying he wanted to go to the Pelicans.

Gasol has spent his entire career with the Grizzlies and has contributed a lot to the team as a cornerstone.

Even when the team was bad, he never offered to trade him, and he didn't get emotional when the team wanted to trade him.

So this simple request, the Grizzlies management will not refuse.

That is, after this, the Grizzlies changed their minds and finally sent Gasol to the Pelicans.

After listening to the story inside, Tang Tian recognized Gasol a little more.

It's also going to the Raptors, but unlike in history, Leonard didn't go. Now that Gasol really goes, the data will definitely be better than in history.

You must know that after Gasol went to the Raptors in history, his scoring average changed from 15.7 points and 8.6 rebounds to 9.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

If it weren't for him to have a player option and the Raptors finally won the championship again, he would definitely become a garbage contract directly.

But in the current situation, he also has this risk when he joins the Pelicans.

In other words, Gasol's choice of the Pelicans is really for the championship, and it's the kind of success or success.

After they practiced for a while, other teammates came one after another.

Stevens was also a little surprised when he saw Gasol, but since he came, he arranged to train together.

There is no full-court arrangement today, just some basic and half-court confrontation training.

Gasol was practicing with Robinson at the beginning, but he couldn't continue after practicing for a while.

Robinson loves to dance too much, and the confrontation is very bad. He is simply hanged and beaten, and there is no point in training at all.

In the end Robinson was replaced by Harrell.

During the training, the two confronted each other in various ways. The sound of muscle collision mixed with shouts made the other teammates feel pain.

Gasol is a great European Pyrenees, but he is really hard during training.

Harrell is hard enough, but after training, he also looks exhausted afterwards.

On the other hand, Gasol has a look of unsatisfactory expression.

Tang Tian went over to ask him how he felt.

"The ones just now can only be called warm-ups."

Gasol put on a face.

But he's telling the truth, when he was with the national team, being on the training ground with Pau Gasol was like fighting.

When playing international games, teammate Rubio said that the Gasol brothers were the most vicious players he had ever seen in training, as desperate as they were.

Tang Tian laughed after hearing this.

This is exactly what Gasol said earlier.

Gasol is white and has an elegant playing style, but he has always been tough on and off the court.

The first thousand 220 chapters and five brains are a good thing

There are still 9 days before the official start of the All-Star Game, and the Pelicans still have 4 games against the Mavericks, Celtics, Knicks and 76ers.

The first two games are difficult to play, but the next two games are easy.

Especially the first game against the Mavericks.

恩比德最近状态神勇，近十场场均27.5分13.6板3.7助攻2.1盖帽，投篮命中率49%。

Driven by his outstanding performance, the Mavericks have won 10 games in the past 9 games. Now they have won 7 consecutive victories and are in very good condition.

With Cousins ​​no longer as brave as before after injury, Embiid's performance this season seems to be the league's number one center.

This is obviously a test for the Pelicans who have just gone through a trade.

Moreover, this game was played in Dallas. The Dallas people, who had lost the previous two matches, obviously hoped to win back a victory at home.

On the night of the game, the stadium at the American Airlines Center was packed.

Driven by owner Mark Cuban, the enthusiasm of the Dallas Cowboys was particularly high tonight.

The Mavericks' morale has been high in recent victories, while the Pelicans just traded and lost to the Lakers, and their morale is at a low point.

One high and one low, the chances of who wins are high and clear.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Mavericks side, Conley and Holiday are on the outside, Harris and Dwight Powell are on the front line, and Embiid is the center.

For the Pelicans, Brogdon and Tang Tian on the outside, Green and Davis on the striker, and Harrell at the center.

Stevens didn't immediately start Gasol.

Gasol has only been with the team for one day, and he is not yet familiar with the tactical system.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game started quickly.

Embiid beat Davis and opened the curtain of the Pelicans battle.

Embiid hit Harrell in the low post when he came up.

Harrell is very hard, but Embiid looks at the big man, but he is very skilled at the basket, moving his feet continuously and hitting the board to score.

And this is just the beginning.

After the start of the game, the Mavericks hung Embiid inside for several consecutive offenses. From the low post to the free throw line, Embiid scored all of them!

His recent state is not generally good.

And after the Pelicans contracted, Holiday and Harris on the outside also showed excellent form, making consecutive shots.

After Jokic left, Carlisle simplified the team's tactics, taking advantage of Embiid's internal restraint to maximize the inside-out style of play.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Pelicans 17-10.

Not only Embiid, but the entire Mavericks have been in good shape recently.

Stevens turned and called Gasol off the bench.

Harrell faced Embiid like meeting a nemesis. He couldn't compare his height and wingspan, and he couldn't compare his skills. He was a little tempered when he was suppressed.

Embiid passed Harrell's free throw line to the basket, shot and scored, and caused Harrell's pulling foul.

The scene was boiling, and after scoring the goal, Embiid also roared like a beast at the sidelines.

This is really playing the "Great Emperor" level of strength.

Embiid's chance to add a penalty, a short whistle came from the sidelines, and Gasol came on to replace Harrell.

Harrell was a little depressed, and Gasol patted him on the head when he came on the court and gave him some encouragement.

This kind of behavior looks like an old ball ruffian on the court.

Embiid's penalty hit.

20 to 10, the Mavericks extended their lead to 10 points.

They have played against each other three times this season, and this is the first time they have gained such a big lead in the opening game.

On the sidelines, Cuban's face flushed and he looked excited.

The Pelicans have fallen flat this season, and they are no longer the invincible team of last season!

It's time for the Mavericks to get back some ground!

"Defense! Defense!"

The emotions of the fans at the scene also rose, and they cheered for the home team driven by the on-site DJ.

The Mavericks are already on the move.

Tang Tian broke through with the ball, the Mavericks shrank their defense, and Embiid also released Gasol from behind.
