…… Big Gasol is talking about a hair??

After Gasol finished speaking, not only the players of the Chinese team, but also the Spanish players were a little confused.

"Explosiveness in a particular match"??

What kind of contest needs so many words!

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Leaving the stadium, the Spanish team and the Chinese team came to the Olympic Village restaurant together.

Although it is not a meal, in order to take care of the different eating habits of different players in different countries, the restaurant in the Olympic Village is still open 24 hours a day. And there are countless stalls here, no matter which corner of the earth you come from, you can find food that represents your hometown.

It's just a British cook...... You know......

"You mean to say...... Key matches? Like the knockout round against the United States or against us? ”

Gasol Jr. was the first to feel that his brother's skull was broken, and asked while drinking a sugar-free drink: "Do you think that the hairstyle brother has the attribute of a key game explosion?" ”

"Hmm...... Not so exactly. ”

Grand Gasol shook his head and looked around.

It is extremely rare that the players of two sports teams from different countries in the same sport, which should be rivals, actually gathered together and sat at the same table.

It's no wonder that the players of any two basketball teams, after watching a game of the big devil American team, will have a ", you are so miserable, you can't beat them at all?" The sense of sympathy comes.

"I'll say so......!"

Seeing that everyone didn't understand what they meant, Da Gasol also felt a little funny, took out the shyness of his sister-in-law, pursed his lips and smiled: "Without Yao, the lower limit of the Chinese team has been lowered, is this understandable??" ”

"Uh......"

Everyone was confused.

The Spaniards didn't understand it, the Chinese didn't understand it – Big Gasol suddenly spoke a word in Spanish!

"Okay...... Let me use another analogy. ”

Gasol looked at his players: "If from now on, I announce my retirement from the national team, how will our quality change?" ”

"Of course it's getting weaker!"

Ruhl immediately replied: "Although Mark is also very strong, we can still fight around him, but after all, there is an absolute strong point missing!" ”

"Yes, but you may not be able to understand that when we say a team is 'weaker,' it's different."

Big Gasol nodded: "Without me, our strength will be weaker, but because of your existence, we can still win most opponents." If I'm here, we probably won't be able to win against the United States and China, right? Argentina shouldn't be our opponent right now, right? ”

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone nodded.

"And what if it weren't for me? There are more opponents who can beat us all of a sudden, right? Needless to say, the United States and China, Argentina, Russia, and even Lithuania and Brazil all have the power to fight a war, right? ”

Gasol continued.

"This ......"

Spanish players, look at me, I look at you.

Although I was very reluctant to admit it, it was true.

"To be clear, when I say 'we can win against our opponents', I don't mean that we will definitely lose when we fight them, but that the game is 'in suspense' and 'anyone can win'. In my team, Argentina, Russia, Lithuania, Brazil, we could have lost, but that would have been true if something unexpected happened. ”

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Gasol stretched out a finger and nodded: "This is the lower limit of a team." ”

"The lower limit of the team refers to the 'minimum combat value' that cannot be broken through when the team plays steadily. Some players are used to improve the team's lower limit, such as me, Yao, and ...... Old. ”

"It's over."

Chen Mu smiled and nodded.

"Do you understand what he said?"

Gu Yu asked playfully.

"I don't understand it at all, in Spanish, I'll be a ghost if I understand it."

Chen Mu shrugged: "But when I heard my name put together with Da Yao and his own name, I must have praised me, so I will recognize it first." ”

“…… Cut! ”

Chinese players collectively despise the team's boss.

"Players like us will be called 'cornerstone' players, the team has us, the strength will not be too bad, with the right teammates to work together, the strength will continue to improve. For example, myself, whether it's in the national team, or in the Grizzlies, or in the Lakers, it's all about that. ”

"Blow it up, the Lakers are Kobe's team!"

Calderon and Gasol are old teammates, and half-joking is not ambiguous.

"Kobe Bryant is special, I'll talk about it later."

Gasol didn't care about his old friend's bad words, and continued: "There are many more players like that, like Kidd, like Nash, like Dirk, like Duncan, no matter what teammates they are paired with, they can play a good game and can take the team to at least playoff level. Come to think of it, the Grizzlies had a bad lineup at the time, right? But with me, we can guarantee the playoffs every year. ”

"And then it was swept every year, hahahahaha!"

Ruhr was not big or small, and at the end he turned around and slapped Gu Yu, who didn't understand what the Spaniards were talking about, and Gu Yu was confused.

"You've been spoiled by the hairstylist! But that's right, hahaha! ”

The Spanish players burst out laughing in unison.

"Ahem...... The other kind of player is used to raise the team's 'ceiling'. ”

Gasol tried his best to control his urge to beat Ruhr and continued: "This type of player may not be the absolute tactical fulcrum of the team, and it is difficult for the coach to rely on his strength alone to sublimate the whole team. But as long as he is equipped with a suitable 'cornerstone', he can suddenly burst out of unimaginable energy at some critical moments. ”

"Hmm...... I kind of get it, like...... Ray Allen? ”

Calderon blinked.

"yes, think about his career, and you'll see what I mean."

Gasol smiled and pointed at Gu Yu: "Brother Hairstyle, he is a player who can improve the team's ceiling." ”

…… Indeed it is!

The Spaniards have understood.

Gu Yu at this stage, if you really want to build a team around him, it is really a bit difficult for a strong man. His individual attack is strong, but he is not stable enough, and he is not at the level of Kobe Bryant and Iverson. With him as the absolute core to play, the team is likely to become a situation where Gu Yu plays alone and the other four people watch.

And Gu Yu himself has no way to really score 35 points per game, and continue to move forward with the team, with him as the cornerstone, it won't work for the time being.

But as long as there is a cornerstone player among Gu Yu's teammates, it will be very different.

"Cousins and Evans combined, half a cornerstone!"

Big Gasol said: "With this half of the foundation stone of the king, as long as the hairstyle brother explodes, any team dares to win." Whether it's our Lakers, or the Heat, or the 76ers, the Kings can suddenly take away the game. This is the 'upper limit' of explosive power, and the possibilities that can be brought to a team are endless. ”

"This boast is a bit hidden, I'm not very satisfied, hey!"

Gu Yu knocked Gasol's head.

“…… Huh, how do you understand?!! ”

Gasol covered his head and looked at Gu Yu puzzled.

"You were just speaking English, stupid!"

Gu Yu said a word, and everyone present laughed.

"Uh-a-huh...... All in all! ”

Pau continued: "The cornerstone is hard to find, but the 'unstable explosives' that can raise the team's ceiling are even harder to find. Curry next to Chen, Ray Allen next to Garnett and Pierce, young Kobe Bryant next to O'Neal, and Terry next to Dirk are all of this type. You guys...... You'd like to have teammates like that, right? ”

"Of course, of course!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Who doesn't like a teammate who doesn't occupy too much of the ball, doesn't disrupt his rhythm, doesn't need the coach to set up many tactics for him, just hand the ball to him, and hold up the team's winning teammates with one hand at a critical moment? ?

As for a team like the Heat, having a cornerstone-level player like Wade play the role of a booster, and then having a quasi-cornerstone Bosh team, is pure hooliganism.

"The reason why we say that Jordan is great and Olajuwon is because around them, there are really no 'ceiling lifters' in the true sense."

"Pippen has outbursts, but it's more of stability. Needless to say, even Iverson, because there is only half a booster around him, no, a quarter of the booster - the sixth McGee, so he will lead the team to the finals so praised. ”

It's the same thing with Kidd and Nash.

"What about Kobe? I mean, Kobe Bryant when you won the championship? ”

Gu Yu asked.

"He's special, like Jordan, and of course there's LeBron who has entered the 'unshirkable ZONE', and they have traits that are rare in ten or even thirty years. This is also my greatest hope for your future. ”

Big Gasol seemed to like Gu Yu very much, and replied with a smile: "They are all one person who can raise the team's lower limit and ceiling at the same time, superstar." ”

“…… This wave can blow! Cheers! ”

Gu Yu finally "agreed" to Gasol's praise and raised his glass.

"Cheers!"

The players clinked glasses in unison and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"I heard that there are no people like you?? I'm a superstar after that!! ”

Gu Yu didn't forget to turn around and howl at the laptop he brought with him, and bragged in front of JRS in the live broadcast room.

Soon after, this short dinner between the Spanish team and the Chinese team ended.

"Gu, Chen."

Before leaving, Da Gasol avoided the other Spanish players and stopped Gu Yu and Chen Mu.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yu asked.

"We're ...... this year I'm afraid I can't beat the United States, to be honest, I don't have confidence. Not to mention the other teams, which are not on the same level at all. ”

Gasol's face was not very good: "If there is any team in this Olympics that has any hope of beating them...... Then it's just you. ”

This......

Gu Yu and Chen Mu glanced at each other.

It's a bit stressful!

"No matter what...... BEAT-USA！ ”

Big Gasol stretched out a fist.

“…… Well! BEAT-USA！！！ ”

Gu Yu, Chen Mu, Gasol.

The fists of three men who carried the honor of their country on their shoulders collided together.

A day later.

The journey of the Chinese team continues.
