Chapter 553: Fighting with "Wounds" (1/3)

ps: Continue the three watches today

In the NBA, because the protection of players is very strict, players even on off-season days, they also pay great attention to the protection of their bodies, and generally rarely have a cold and such a disease, even if it appears, it will recover in a very short time, but Tang Shuai this time, it seems to be a complete accident.

Because of the loose schedule, after the game with the Magic, the team ushered in a three-day rest day, with a good record, and Wharton naturally gave the players two days off.

And it was during the two-day holiday that Tang Shuai chose to go to Miami Beach with Su Mei for a vacation.

It was nothing, but it was this vacation, but there was a little accident.

Beach surfing, this is a leisure activity that people who go to Miami for vacation will choose, Tang Shuai didn't play it when he first went there, but this time when surfing, because Su Mei accidentally fell, Tang Shuai choked a lot of water in order to save her, and at night it rained heavily in Miami, and he caught a cold.

During training, Tang Shuai felt that his steps were vain, a little top-heavy, if it wasn't for the team doctor who gave him some medicine temporarily, he probably would have been lying down and sleeping.

This is the first thing, which is related to Tang Shuai, and the second thing is related to the team.

Wharton studied under Kerr, and like Kerr, he is quite obsessed with small-ball tactics, which can be seen from his preseason lineup, but because the opponent in the first leg of the regular season is the Clippers, in order to deal with the Clippers' interior line, he chose Noll and Gasol's starters, and the results are good, and this lineup has been used.

But it was during the Grizzlies' game-day training session that he finally took out the small-ball strategy, although he did not announce a change to the starting lineup, but most of the training session was spent in practice, first Gasol in the fifth position, then Noor, and finally even tried Ezeli.

Wharton is constantly trying out the lineup, but Tang Shuai obviously has no energy to take care of it, he can only try to keep himself focused on the field and not make too many mistakes.

At the end of the training session, Xiao saw that Tang Shuai's body was vain and came over to care about his physical condition.

Tang Shuai's situation, the coaching staff has long known through the team doctor, Xiao came here to see if he is better.

"I feel like I'm barely able right now, but whether I can play or not will have to wait until the evening to see." Tang Shuai is not a doctor after all, and he can only reply by feeling.

Xiao called the team doctor over, and several people evaluated it for a while, and in the end, they could only see it in the evening.

In the evening, Tang Shuai's physical condition improved, and Wharton immediately placed him in the starting lineup.

On this night, a large number of fans gathered outside the FedEx Arena, because of the team's excellent record at the start of the game, the Grizzlies ushered in a rare peak, which was also mixed with a lot of Chinese fans, they naturally came to the Chinese derby.

Tang Shuai originally planned to go to the stadium to say hello to Wang Zhelin, but he was a little dizzy, he entered the stadium and threw two balls, and when he saw that the Grizzlies had not yet come, he sat down to rest.

The training of his teammates continued, and he felt a little dizzy after watching it for a while, so he simply closed his eyes and rested, and there was a "bang" dribbling sound in his ears, which was like hypnosis.

"Don, Don? Tang Dynasty! ”

Dazing, he heard someone call him, and he opened his eyes and followed the voice to see that it was Stephenson.

"What?" He asked.

Stephenson didn't say anything, nudged him, and then pointed in front of him.

He turned his head, only to find Wang Zhelin standing in front of him.

"The King." He stood up from his seat and smiled and held out his hand.

"Tang Shuai." Wang Zhelin stretched out his hand slightly and hugged Tang Shuai.

Wang Zhelin was already a head taller than Tang Shuai, and after this hug, he felt that Tang Shuai's body was a little floating, and then asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Tang Shuai shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little cold." ”

"Didn't cover the quilt at night? I haven't heard Haoyan say that you have a habit of kicking the quilt? Wang Zhelin looked at Tang Shuai suspiciously.

Tang Shuai was amused by Wang Zhelin, waved his hand, and then changed the topic and said, "How are you doing with the Grizzlies?" ”

"Very good, Mark takes good care of me and secretly teaches me tricks." Wang Zhelin said with a smile.

Tang Shuai smiled and nodded, when he was in the national team, Wang Zhelin was still very shy, but the exchange just now was obviously cheerful, and it seemed that he was unexpectedly able to play in the NBA, which changed not only his self-confidence, but also his personality became a lot better.

Wang Zhelin suddenly leaned over at this time, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Coach David told me before the game that this game will send me to the court in regular time, and we will probably appear on the field together." ”

After listening to Wang Zhelin's words, a look of surprise flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes, and his head turned a little slower after catching a cold, but he slowly understood.

The Grizzlies' bench this season is not strong, the original bench Jermichael Green is only 2.06 meters, more like a No. 4 position, it is not a particularly strange thing to try Wang Zhelin, plus the word Chinese derby, it is even more reasonable.

"Congratulations, play hard, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Tang Shuai smiled and patted Wang Zhelin on the shoulder.

"All right." Wang Zhelin said a little mischievously.

"Toot ~"

Just then, the whistle blew on the sidelines, and the game entered the final three-minute countdown.

"I'm going back." Wang Zhelin said and gestured to Tang Shuai, then turned around and trotted back to his half.

Tang Shuai looked at Wang Zhelin's back, shook his head with a smile, and then turned around as well.

Wharton already had the tactics board in his hand, and Shaw called the players over.

He let out a long breath and walked over.

After chatting with Wang Zhelin for a while, he became a lot more energetic.

When the coaches of both sides began the final tactical deployment before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were released on the LED screen on the scene.

The line-ups on both sides were the same as in the previous games.

On the Grizzlies' side, Conley and Tony Allen are in the backcourt, Parsons and Randolph are in the front, and Gasol Jr. is on the inside.

On the Lakers' side, although they have a small lineup that has been practicing for a long time on training days, Gasol and Knoll still appeared in the starting lineup at the same time.

The game's commentators were home commentator Jeff Anderson and guest Chris Webb.

"Chris, honestly, how much trouble do you think the Lakers can cause the Grizzlies in this game?" Before the game officially started, Anderson couldn't wait to ask.

"Judging from the form of the previous games on both sides, this game can be said to be evenly matched, and both sides have chances." Webb had a good temper as a player, but after becoming a commentator, he became very good at talking.

"I think there's a limit to how much trouble the Lakers can create." Anderson said disapprovingly.

"Huh?" Webber looked at Anderson suspiciously, and although he was the home commentator, it seemed a little too much.

"Although the records of the two teams are similar, but looking at the opponents of the Lakers, except for the Pacers they lost, the Magic and the Kings are never strong teams, on the contrary, the Grizzlies have won the Thunder and Raptors one after another, and the state is obviously better for us." Anderson analyzed.

"Well, that's exactly what you're saying, and the Grizzlies have Tony on them, and that's a tough guy." Webb spoke.

"yes, Tony, that guy's favorite thing is to play against a super scorer, and if you let him stop defending, he's probably going to be uncomfortable!" When it comes to Tony Allen, Anderson can't help but get excited.

It's clear that although he is not the core of the team, Tony Allen's tough defensive style has earned him the support of many fans, which is exactly what the Grizzlies' style of play represents.

"Tony's guy is like a gate, if I'm not mistaken, Kobe Bryant said that he has ever met the strongest defensive player, that is, Tony, to be praised by Kobe Bryant, which is definitely no less than the honor of winning a medal for the strongest defensive player for a defensive player." Webb agreed.

"Yes, Tony is our iron wall, he is not limited by the years, the Lakers' offense is very dependent on Don, and Tony can limit him!" Anderson said excitedly.

"Toot ~"

As soon as they said this, the long whistle on the sidelines sounded, and the game between the two sides began immediately.

"Play our style, keep the defensive position, like the previous games, we'll win!" The Grizzlies' new head coach, David Fitzdale, shouted at the players, raising his hands above his head as he shouted.

The rest of the Grizzlies folded their hands one by one, yelled "win," and then turned and walked off the court.

"Defeat them!" Wharton also shouted to the Lakers players, and the players folded their hands and pressed down, shouted cheers, and then followed on.

After the referee threw the ball into the air, accompanied by a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene, the game between the two sides began.

Gasol Jr. took advantage of his experience to shoot the ball back over Gasol Jr.'s head back to the Lakers half, and in this big brother and brother's jump ball, the older brother occupied the top as always.

The Lakers launched the first round of offense.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball and beckoned his teammates to start running.

The Grizzlies have maintained a tough style of play since the inception of the Grizzlies, and after the introduction of the Grizzlies, this style of play has become more and more apparent, and they have maintained a retro style of play when teams are looking to win games with offense, although the coach has changed several times, and they also tried to play small ball for a while last season, but the defense-based style of play has not changed at all.

This is different from the Lakers' previous opponents, more than ten seconds passed, and the others were stunned and did not run out of the defensive position, and even Pau Gasol was pressed to death by Randolph.

In the first round, the Lakers were in trouble.

Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Tang Shuai could only choose to break through.

As soon as he looked up, he met Tony Allen's gaze. (To be continued.) )
