At the end of the timeout, the Nuggets players were relieved to see that Wang Meng was finally off the court, "It's finally over, I thought you were an iron man." ”

Gasol walked slowly to the arena, his head bowed, and no one saw his expression.

Gasol's entire NBA career has experienced three teams: the Grizzlies, the Lakers and the Hornets, and among these three teams, Gasol has only been the boss when he was a Grizzlies.

Who is willing to be the second in charge?

No one, not even Gasol, who has a soft style of play, but his style of play is destined to make it difficult for him to be the absolute core of the team. Gasol has a very high ball quotient, and he is much more effective in the playmaker position than he is in the offensive core, but the playmaker has to sacrifice his stats.

Gasol is a player with a high ball quotient, for the victory of the team, he is willing to play the big man who plays a high position in Phil Jackson's triangle offense, and he also did a very good job, in the first year of the Lakers, the Lakers who could not even enter the playoffs, led to the Finals, in the finals Gasol faced the league's strongest power forward Garnett, and did not fall behind, although the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the end, but in the next three years they won the championship in a row, realizing Kobe's dream of two dynasties.

In this column of honors, people remember Kobe Bryant, who stepped up at a critical moment, remembered Artest, who was iron-blooded defensively, remembered Bydam, who had a promising future, and even remembered Wang Meng, who was born in the Lakers' third Finals, but few people think of Gasol's contribution when they mention the Lakers, and even if they do, it means that if the Lakers did not introduce Gasol at that time, but Garnett or Duncan, it is estimated that they would have won four consecutive championships now.

Amusing! If it weren't for Gasol's strategy in the high position to attract opponents, how would Kobe Bryant have so many singles opportunities? Before Gasol came to the Lakers, there was only one defensive attitude of any team towards Kobe, and that was the bag!

How could Bydam rise without Gasol's care? Just with his ridiculous offensive methods at the beginning? Gasol did not hesitate to reduce his shooting rights, and handed over a large number of offensive opportunities to Bydam, before gradually cultivating a top center in the league, if Gasol is unwilling to reduce his interior shooting opportunities, then getting an average of 20+10 per game is the same as playing, but then it will be difficult for the Lakers to win the championship.

When everyone talks about Gasol, the first thing that comes to mind is his weak style of play, always the second master, but they can't see Gasol's merits.

At the 08 Yenching Olympics, Gasol, as the leader of the Spanish team, took Gasol Jr., Ibaka, and Rubio, who was just about to participate in the draft, almost pulled the American team off the horse, and finally only won the silver medal, but the American dared to say that he didn't sweat for the American Dream Team at that time?

Clenched his fists, Gasol silently walked on, "There is more than one king in the Wasp!" And I'm Gasol! ”

Wang Meng off the court, Lawson's pressure suddenly doubled, facing Thorton who replaced Wang Meng as a point guard, Lawson did not hesitate to choose to play alone, under Thorton's famous eye defense, Lawson "difficult" to break into the inside.

Just as he threw the basketball in his hand at the basket, a long arm stretched out in the air and directly fanned his throw, Lawson turned his head to look, only to see that Gasol had turned around and ran towards half court.

Wallace picked up the blocked basketball and immediately went on a fast break, and when he rushed to the three-point line, he was stunned to find that Gasol was already standing inside and raised his hand to signal for the ball.

"That's a lot of movement." Wallace smacked his tongue in his heart, then raised his hand and shook Gallinari, who was about to shoot, and hoisted the basketball to Gasol.

Gasol lifted the ball high above his head with both hands, a move he always does when he's high, and his natural height combined with his perverted reach makes it difficult for opponents to interfere with him when he's lifting a basketball.

Farid, who is 2.03 meters tall, could only raise his head depressedly, looking at Gasol and the basketball above his head like a child looking at an adult.

Without warning, Gasol suddenly threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball bounced off the rebound and into the basket, which is Duncan's best 45-degree angle shot, and Gasol is also handy with his height advantage.

Farid relies on explosiveness and strength to make it difficult for the opponent to stand on the inside, Gasol ran to the position when he was on the fast break before, and shot after standing in the position, Farid could only watch dryly, there was no way.

Offense and defense switched, Lawson used the old routine to get past Thorton, rushed into the inside, this time he had an extra eye, glanced at Gasol when he went to the basket, and found that Gasol and Oden were far away from him, and finally put his mind at ease, thinking about the embarrassment of being covered with hot pot just now, Lawson decided to use a dunk for this offense.

Lawson had just jumped up, and a black shadow blew like a hurricane, and another hand fanned the basketball in Lawson's hand, this time the block was even more ferocious, and it was directly slapped on the rebound.

Lawson fell to the ground in embarrassment, and when he looked back, Wallace was smiling at him with his white teeth, "Boy! Are you air to me? ”

Lawson almost didn't cry, "It's too bullying, I don't want you to play like this!" Lawson paid attention to Gasol and Oden, but Wallace, who is known for his blocks and dunks, missed.

Gasol beckoned again, and Thorton obediently handed the ball over.

Gasol received the ball and looked back to see that Farid was prepared and pressed Gasol to death, resulting in Gasol now being a long way from the basket.

Unhurried, he pouted his ass and wanted to hit Farid on his back.

Farid saw it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, comparing strength with me? Just you softie? With a force on his waist, he pressed against Gasol and did not retreat a single step.

"Bang bang!" Two consecutive hits on Fared's chest, Farid did not move, and his heart became more and more relieved, at the same time, he mustered all his strength, ready to meet Gasol's third impact, Gasol who wanted to top Gasol was sentenced to walk because he was unstable on his feet.

The third hit that Farid had been waiting for didn't come as expected, and Gasol elbowed Faried, turned past Faried, and rushed to the basket.

"Rub!" Farid was shocked, he didn't expect Gasol to turn around at this time, everyone else turned around when they were close to their opponents, so it was easier to pass, but Gasol did the opposite, turning around when he was still some distance away from Fared, and at the same time using his long arms to block Farid, which had a surprise effect.

Farid, who was passed, gritted his teeth and accelerated to chase after him, Gasol's movement speed is fast among big forwards, but it is not a grade at all compared to Fared, who is only 2.03 meters tall, Farid moves much faster than many small forwards, and catches up with Gasol in just two steps.

And by this time, Gasol had already come to the basket.

Although Farid was shocked at first, he quickly calmed down, he has a well-founded confidence in his explosiveness and bounce, in the case of having chased Gasol, it is impossible for Gasol to attack calmly, whether it is a dunk or a layup, Farid is confident that Gasol will be blocked as soon as possible, and he is ready to do so.

Gasol came to the basket, toe up, and raised his hand to make a layup.

"It's now!" Farid's calf burst out and jumped high like a spring, approaching Gasol, about to give Gasol a shocking hot pot to try.

Then, something happened that left Farid stunned.

His toes were halfway up, but Gasol, who was about to jump, suddenly put the basketball back and stood in the three-second zone stunned.

If only Gasol had been standing like this, he would have been penalized for not moving for more than three seconds in the three-second zone, but Farid couldn't hold on for three seconds in the air.

Fared, who was originally rushing towards Gasol like a rainbow, suddenly had no goal, and rushed to Gasol who was still standing on the ground in a daze.

Because he jumped too high just now, Farid actually lay directly on Gasol's back when he landed.

"Drink!" Gasol roared, pulled it up, and with a Farid still hanging on his body, he jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands.

"Squeak!" The referee's whistle sounded, and Gasol scored three points!

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers, and Gasol regained his composure after the roar, and he turned around faintly, as unhappy as the stone Buddha of San Antonio.

He was able to hold it, but Wang Meng and the others had already jumped high on the bench, "Paul is beautiful!" ”

A black aunt the size of O'Neill screamed, "Well done! Paul! I find out I'm already in love with you! ”

Gasol, who was preparing for a free throw, shuddered when he heard this, and with goosebumps, he hurriedly threw a free throw.

"McGee! You and Farid switch guards! You have the height, restrain Gasol for me! The Nuggets' head coach shouted from the sidelines.

Gasol scoffed at this, McGee? Even his half-brained man wants to prevent me?

McGee's defense in the low post is very strong, because his bounce is very terrifying, but it is easy to lose his position when facing the inside line of Gasol's technical flow, because he is too shaky, as long as the opponent makes a slight shooting posture, this girl will fly like a rocket to give people hot pot to eat.

Sure enough, Gasol did not struggle much more when he held the ball and faced McGee than when he faced Farid, although McGee was about the same height as him and had no easy shooting opportunities, but after being taken around by Gasol for two more laps, McGee couldn't find north, at this time Gasol raised his hand, and McGee immediately jumped up to block.

The Nuggets defensive coach who was watching the game on the sidelines helplessly covered his head with his hands, since he exchanged McGee back, he has been teaching McGee every day how not to jump easily, look at the current situation, it is obvious that he has failed.
