Tony Allen started with the Celtics, and then became famous in the Grizzlies, although he is 34 years old, but the deterioration of defensive ability is not obvious, at this time he sank his center of gravity, and looked directly at Tang Shuai, although he was defending, but it made people feel a full aggression.

It's not the first time Tang Shuai has played against Tony Allen, when he played last season, he ended up taking advantage of Allen's physical strength by draining it, but today the situation was a little different.

He has a severe cold, and when it comes to exerting physical strength, maybe he will lie down first in the end.

“defnse！”

The fans at the scene let out a neat shout led by the DJ.

Tang Shuai let out a breath of hot air, and after lowering the center of gravity, suddenly a change of direction broke through to the right.

Allen's defensive awareness is first-class, almost synchronous with Tang Shuai to retreat, Tang Shuai then turned to the left, although his pace is a little slower, but the victory is in judgment, still occupies a favorable defensive position.

Tang Shuai also wanted to change direction to the right, but soon felt a wave of weakness in his footsteps, and after a severe cold, he felt a feeling of collapse when he exerted too much force.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp sound, and just when Tang Shuai felt that his body couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Allen reacted quickly and broke the ball in his hand suddenly.

The fans cheered.

Allen quickly launched a fast break after breaking the ball.

The Lakers' teammates didn't seem to expect Tang Shuai to be cut off like this, and they didn't react at all, watching Allen quickly attack the backcourt.

After Allen arrived in the backcourt, he looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, held his breath, jumped up when he was about to reach the basket, raised the ball above his head with his right hand, and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Oh hoohoo! One-handed split, Tony! Anderson yelled.

The fans at the scene were also amazed and cheered, Tony Allen is so old and not known for his physical fitness, but at the beginning of the game, he staged such a powerful score as a one-handed smash, and the fans were surprised and delighted.

Allen made his debut with the Celtics and has a knack for controlling the atmosphere, waving to the crowd as he stepped back after the dunk, and now the cheers are overshadowing the waves with his hands.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath to clear his head, and then retreated to the half.

Barnes sent the ball and he once again held the ball to the front court, this time he chose to pass to Gasol inside for a single.

The Grizzlies quickly opted for a wrap, and Gasol returned the ball to Don.

Tang Shuai barely shook Parsons's help defense with a stride and pulled out his hand.

There was a thrilling shot in this ball, although the head was still dizzy, but the memory of the muscles was still there, and he wiped the basket and shot into the net bag in a thrilling way.

In the opening 2 shots and 1 hit, under the heavy cold, Tang Shuai's state was obviously not very good.

However, he himself didn't expect that after a few more rounds, he felt that his whole breath was out of breath, which was not due to insufficient physical reserves, but due to rapid physical consumption.

On an attack by the Lakers, Tang Shuai tried to get rid of Allen's defense, but in a blink of an eye, he dribbled the ball directly to his feet and popped out of bounds.

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the fans at the scene.

"As I said, although he is old, Toney's defense is definitely top-notch, he has defended countless top scorers, Don is a very good player, but he is obviously not the best among them, although he is now the highest in the league in points per game, but that's more because the defensive intensity encountered is not great, Tony's defense is the real test of the scorer, this is the real defense!" Anderson couldn't contain his excitement.

"Don did struggle with his performance today, and I don't know what happened to him today." Webb said with a puzzled expression.

The Grizzlies' offense, Conley broke through Tang Shuai after blocking and dismantling, and Tang Shuai was vague at his feet and almost tripped himself.

Conley scored on a layup, and the score on the court became 14-6, and the Grizzlies' lead came to eight points.

Wharton finally realized that Tang Shuai's severe cold was more serious than expected, and stretched out his finger to Clarkson behind him, allowing him to come on the field to replace Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai was sweating like rain, gritting his teeth and walking to the sidelines, if he hadn't insisted with willpower, he probably would have been lying down directly at this time.

His severe cold far exceeded the predictions of him and the team doctor, and if he had known that this was the case, he should have directly chosen to suspend this game.

Walking to the sidelines, he went down the bench and almost fainted.

The team doctor quickly came over and covered him with a blanket and asked about him.

Tang Shuai's exhaled breath was hot, and after the team doctor wiped his sweat with a wet towel, he then suggested that he should not play again in the next games.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Gasol Jr. shook off Knoll and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand, and then yelled at the fans at the scene.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Let me try again, and if it really doesn't work, I'll rest again." ”

"Don, this is my advice as a team doctor, if you insist on it, it is possible to faint on the field." The team doctor spoke.

"Hunter, you ......" Tang Shuai originally wanted to ask the team doctor to see if there was any special medicine like the one he used when he played the Warriors last season, but as soon as he said it, he realized that he was no longer with the Clippers.

"Huh?" The team doctor looked at him suspiciously.

"I'll just stay on the sidelines." Tang Shuai opened his mouth and said that even if he really couldn't bear to play again, he would sit on the sidelines until the end of the game.

Seeing that he insisted repeatedly, the team doctor didn't say anything more, took out some antipyretic medicine for him, and then sat back in his place.

Tang Shuai took the medicine, and asked the staff behind him for a few blankets, wrapping himself tightly.

It is said that sweating when he has a cold is the most effective, he has just started exercising, and I only hope that this way can make him recover somewhat.

The game on the court is still intense, the Lakers players are playing very hard, but without Tang Shuai, they can only rely on Gasol on the offensive end, at the beginning Gasol was very efficient, leading the team to bite the score, but as the game deepened, the Lakers gradually showed disadvantages on the court.

After Parsons hit a long-range three-pointer, the Grizzlies had a 12-point lead at 30-18.

"Chandler ~~ Parsons!!"

The DJ shouted Parsons' name out loud.

Wharton glanced back at Tang Shuai at this time, turned around and called the team doctor over, and after some exchange, his brows furrowed tightly.

The effect of this local method of sweating is not ideal, Tang Shuai still feels dizzy, and even a little sleepy, it seems that the effect of the medicine has come up.

In a daze, he saw Wang Zhelin playing in regular time as he said, but maybe he was nervous, and after coming up, he sent two fouls, and he was replaced again after a long time.

Wharton didn't put Don Shuai on the court again in the first half, and the Grizzlies firmly dominated the court, and by halftime, they had led by as many as 18 points at 55-37.

The person who contributed the most was Allen, although he didn't play for a long time, but he restrained Tang Shuai in the opening game, and then locked Clarkson, so that the entire Lakers' outside offense was almost paralyzed.

Without Tang Shuai's containment, players like Barnes and Batum, who are not good at independent offense, are also quite struggling, one is 1 of 6 shots, and the other is 2 of 7 shots.

"Tony~~ Aaron!!"

The DJ shouted Tony Allen's name over and over again, and Anderson kept touting it, and Allen erected a wall of iron and steel for Memphis with his outstanding performance.

In the entire first half, except for Gasol who scored 10 points, no one else scored another double-double, and the performance was quite dismal.

At halftime, after emphasizing the tactics with the players, Wharton was originally going to let Tang Shuai go back first, but under Tang Shuai's repeated insistence, he still agreed to let him stay on the field.

Coming back in the second half, Pau Gasol recovered a lot after the halftime break, and came up to lead the team to play a wave of counterattacks, narrowing the score from 18 points to 12 points.

There was a burst of excitement on the Lakers bench.

After Gasol pressed Randolph and hit another hook, Tang Shuai also got up from his seat and shook the blanket in his hand vigorously.

After taking a nap in the middle of the pitch and getting through the effects of the medicine, he broke out in a hot sweat again, and he felt that his mental state was much better.

Pau Gasol's goal cut the Grizzlies to a halt, and Fitzdale called a short timeout.

"Good job, Paul!" When Da Gasol left the game, Tang Shuai went up and gave him a high-five.

“Let’s.go！ Grizzlies！ ”

After the timeout, the Grizzlies fans cheered in unison for the home team.

David Fitzdale is a very capable coach and after calling this timely timeout, he has made adjustments to his tactics.

He began to let the guards hit the interior to create damage, and on the defensive end, he did not use a 3-2 joint defense (3 under the basket and 2 outside the defensive formation) to shrink the defense like ordinary coaches, but went the opposite way, using a 2-3 joint defense (2 under the basket, 3 outside the defensive formation), let Gasol Jr. guard the basket, and put strong pressure on the Lakers' outside ball carriers, not to prevent Gasol's point, but to cut off teammates from giving him the opportunity to pass.

This creative pinch play had an unexpected effect, especially with Tony Allen as a defensive scrag, and Clarkson was forced to make two consecutive turnovers.

The Grizzlies took advantage of the momentum to play a climax, and Tony Allen cut off Batum's pass and scored a fast-break layup, which drew another burst of excited cheers from the audience.

After a 6-0 offensive wave, the margin was once again stretched to 18 points.

"Tony can compete with Kawhi Leonard for the best defensive player this season, and the league owes him a best defensive player!" After Allen's amazing performance now, Anderson has completely lost control of his emotions.

Wharton had to call another timeout, and if the offensive problem on the outside could not be solved, the game would probably have to be explained in the third quarter. (To be continued.) )
