Coincidentally, Gasol Jr. lived in Memphis when he first came to the United States with his family. Later, because Pau Gasol was selected, the family moved to Vancouver. That is, Gasol Jr.'s childhood was also spent in Memphis for a while.

And when he returned to Memphis, he was already the MVP of the Spanish league.

As a result, Gasol Jr. is often referred to by fans as "the real Memphis." Although he is originally from Spain, he has a lot of Memphis traits due to the fact that he lived here as a child.

You think he's a gentleman, but he's like a rugged medieval peasant. You think he's a farmer, but he's like a dashing cowboy. You think he's like a cowboy, but sometimes he's like an elegant gentleman.

Memphis, for the most part.

So in Memphis, Gasol Jr.'s popularity is really high. So much so that on the night of the game against the Clippers, countless fans raised their placards in support of Gasol Jr. They all believe that Gasol Jr. will make Jordan Jr. pay the price.

Of course, Jordan Jr. himself would not have thought so.

"We're going to play our style today, and I know we've lost to the Grizzlies twice this season, but that doesn't mean anything. It's a brand new battle, and we're not going to back down. ”

In an interview with reporters before the game, Jordan Jr. was still arrogant. After saying that, he didn't forget to show off the muscles on his arms at the camera.

Jordan Jr. has always been a confident player, and he does want to play well at All-Star centers.

In this regard, Gasol Jr. did not use words to choke Jordan Jr., "I just want to do my part, cover well, protect rebounds, shoot those balls that have opportunities, that's all." I don't have to prove anything, and I don't have to go head-to-head with a player. All I have to do is help the team win. ”

It seems that Gasol Jr. does not seem to care about Jordan Jr.'s provocation. Only Link knows, and if he really believes that guy, hell for it!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began. After a whole season of grinding and adjusting, the Clippers have determined their final lineup to make the playoffs.

At the beginning of the season, the Clippers played a two-point guard lineup of Paul + Billups. But due to Billups' torn ankle reimbursed for the season, the Clippers are now using Paul + Randy. Foye partners in the back line.

Forwards, it's still Caron. Butler and Griffin, while the center has always been the thunderous DeAndrew. Jordan.

The Clippers coach who came off the bench is now basically only using three people to rotate. Yang, Kenyan. Martin and Eric. Bledsoe. Others are either injured or have been abandoned after a season's grind.

As you can tell from the Clippers' three-man rotation, they are a team that relies heavily on starters. No matter how you make a substitution, you will always have a starter present.

The rotation has proven to be very efficient, with the Clippers winning eight of the nine games since March 24. The only loss was in the Los Angeles derby, where Bryant and Bynum combined for 67 points to lose the Clippers. Otherwise, they might all have a wave of 9 consecutive wins.

Of course, that's why the Clippers are reluctant to play the Los Angeles derby early in the playoffs. So the third place in the West, they are bound to get it.

Jordan Jr. stood in the center circle and fought with Gasol Jr. for the ball, his eyes full of playfulness. Gasol Jr. looked serious, and his mood was not affected in the slightest.

The referee blows the whistle and throws the basketball into the air. Little Jordan jumped hard with all his strength, and the height he reached, little Gasol couldn't reach it at all!

From the jump ball stage, Jordan Jr. has been competing with Gasol.

The Clippers get the first shot, and Chris. After Paul walked outside the three-point line, he beckoned Jordan Jr. to come out to block the pick-and-roll.

Jordan Jr. is strong and strong, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is excellent. Although Conley tried to get around, he was stopped by Jordan Jr.

Seeing this, Gasol had to make up for Paul's delay. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Little Jordan quickly cut in and hit the basket! Paul confronts Gasol and throws the ball into the air at will!

Seeing the basketball being tossed, Gasol knew it was over. Sure enough, in the next second, Little Jordan grabbed the basketball in the air. Then with all his strength, he smashed the ball into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket made a loud noise, and then was pulled by Jordan Jr. and fell a few centimeters.

The whole audience was stunned, this is the style of the empty city!

"Beautiful aerial relays, that's what the Clippers have been doing this season. DeAndrew. Jordan's cut back from cover was timely, and his athleticism allowed him to pull off such explosive goals with ease. Paul was also very clear in his thinking, and he knew exactly what he was going to do next. ”

Hubi. Brin admits that even he was stunned by Jordan Jr.'s dunk. A dunk by such a big player is always full of destructive power.

Little Jordan's ball just now can be given full marks in terms of both the height of the jump and the strength of the dunk.

After the goal, little Jordan didn't forget to yell at Gasol, this guy's ostentatious appearance caused the audience to boo.

"It's okay, it's just a goal behind. Take your time, take your time according to the plan! Hollins shouted from the sidelines, trying to stabilize the morale of the players.

No matter how beautiful a dunk is, it's only worth 2 points. It's normal to start one goal down, and Hollins doesn't want players to explode as soon as they come up.

The live camera couldn't help but give little Gasol a close-up of his face, and he was so humiliated by his opponent at the beginning that people guessed that his expression must be wonderful.

However, Gasol didn't have any expression, and you couldn't tell the guy's emotions from his face at all. He just silently ran forward and was ready to participate in the next attack.

Today, Caron. Butler defended tightly against Link. The two sides played each other at the beginning of the season, and Butler had just returned from a serious injury, and his physical condition had not yet adjusted to perfect condition. Now, however, Butler is playing at a good level.

In the last game when the Clippers played the Kings, Butler also scored 28 points in one fell swoop.

Conley tried to break through Paul with cover, but Paul was quick to get around the pick-and-roll. He kept pestering Conley and didn't give him any chance. Griffin also resisted Randolph to the death, although the repeater champion was not in line with Link's direct position, but he also worked very hard against others, and he didn't want to lose to Link again.

The Clippers' defense was tight, and in the end, Conley had to hoist the ball to Gasol. Gasol got into position near the box and then raised his hand for the ball. Conley didn't have a good choice, so he just handed the ball over.

The audience cheered instantly, is Gasol finally going to fight Jordan Jr.!?

"Hey, that's right, softass!" Gasol leaned on Jordan Jr. with the ball, and Jordan Jr. was the most broken.

“Cornudo！” As everyone knows, Gasol actually replied to Little Jordan, but Little Jordan was surprised to find that he couldn't understand the word!

"What's that!?"

Gasol naturally didn't answer, he took a step back, but instead of attacking the frame, he hit the ground after attracting the defender!

Link cut to the basket and received the basket tacitly, and because Gasol drew Jordan Jr.'s defensive attention, there was no threat under the basket. Link made an easy layup to equalize the score for the Grizzlies!

"Damn!" Little Jordan saw Link score and cursed in frustration. He wanted to go one-on-one with Gasol so much that he didn't even pay attention to the team's overall defense.

Seeing the team's exquisite coordination, Hollins nodded in satisfaction. It's true that Gasol's physical fitness is not very strong, and his scoring ability is average. But his strategy and one-handed passing are something that Jordan Jr., who has rough skills, does not have.

It seems that Gasol has not lost his mind. He didn't have to because of DeAndrew. Jordan's provocation and the opponent's attack, on the contrary, Gasol Jr. intends to use his own way to deal with the enemy!

A beautiful low-level response is one of them!

Gasol Jr. immediately turned back to defend after the assist, leaving Jordan Jr. standing in place with a confused face. Just then, Link passed by Jordan Jr. and said a word to him.

"Want to know what he just said? During intermission, take your phone and search for 100 swearing Spanish sentences. In the future, don't suffer the loss of culture. After saying that, Link also winked at Little Jordan very cheaply.

Little Jordan gritted his teeth in anger, I really didn't know how the Grizzlies gathered such a group of annoying guys.

Gasol Jr. retreated into his own half, his eyes focused, still expressionless. But just now, he has obviously made a statement - today, he will fight to the end with little Jordan!

That's right, you think he's a gentleman. In fact, he can also be a rude Spanish farmer.
