This was a huge hurdle because the scoring stalled.

And unlike the first few dozen games, at that time the Lakers were still a "weak team" and were looked down upon, so they were not taken seriously or studied seriously. But now, it is completely different, without the 50+ high inside line

In terms of shooting percentage contribution, if you want to win with Kobe alone, that's a dream within a dream.

Crazy.

Although Tang Qian did not score 50 points in every game, he still scored in many fierce battles, such as the last time he played the Thunder. If he hadn't scored 51 points in the paint, he would have lost.

.And it’s still 51 points with a shooting rate of over 80%! It’s very difficult to fill this hole.

Gasol's comeback has been sluggish in the past few games, which is one of the keys. After all, according to the original plan, after Tang Qian's silver score card + silver monthly card ended, Gasol also happened to come back for a few games, so he could regain his form.

Entering the team role he should enter. But God is not as good as God. In these few games, the Spaniard has not only failed to improve his state steadily, but has become worse and worse as he plays. For example, the last time he played

For the Thunder, he was benched by D'Antoni in the fourth quarter and overtime and was not allowed to play at all.

This is actually double damage to the Lakers and Gasol.

But now, Gasol and head coach Mike D'Antoni are at odds. This is not an open conflict, but a silent struggle. Just like what he was doing in the original time and space.

Inertia is present in everything, including time and space-time.

In fact, not only D'Antoni, Gasol's dissatisfaction with the Lakers as a whole will also increase.

Including the "indifference" of his teammates, Kobe's "incomprehension", Tang Qian's "advantage", and the "disappointment" of the fans. This series of factors have converged into Gasol's current mentality. He committed ordinary things.

It's a mistake everyone makes.

That is to blame too much on others instead of yourself.

The current Spaniard always feels that the Lakers are "not good enough", "not close enough" and "not respectful enough" to him, but they have forgotten what a professional basketball player should do to truly win back these things on the court.

Even Kobe Bryant was criticized for his wasted seasons after his Achilles tendon injury. Didn’t everyone know that he suffered a sports injury to his Achilles tendon that was difficult to reverse? Of course you do. But you are a professional

Basketball players, you play just to compete and win, and the rest is just "adding to the ball."

Not a main staple.

Kobe is like this, let alone Gasol?

In a vicious circle, the Spaniards went further and further, and almost got into the bull's horns.

At the end of the intermission and the start of the third quarter, it seemed that we were leading by a big score, so the cheers and cheers in the Chesapeake Energy Arena were full of excitement, full of taunts, and full of overlooking and taunting of the impending victory.

.

"You're screwed! Los Angeles people! This is not Staples! No referee can save you! Haha~"

"Durant is the MVP of this season! You are already the old Black Mamba!!!"

"The Thunder must win tonight! Oklahomans must win! You are no longer our opponent!!!"

"Kill the Lakers! Challenge the Spurs! Fight for first place in the league!!!"

Under this situation, everyone on the Thunder team played energetically. Although the Thunder replaced Westbrook and Ibaka in order to avoid words, Durant still stayed on the court. It seems that tonight

, they are not prepared to give Los Angeles any chance of a comeback.

This is the rhythm to win 100%!

Gasol still played relatively passively. I don’t know what was wrong with his mentality. Facing the pure rookie Steven Adams, he didn’t want the ball and hit hard. As a result, Kobe could only force the shot and the basketball collapsed!

On the defensive end, the Spaniard received another close dunk from his opponent!!! The referee made a penalty and the goal was valid, 2+1!!!

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the shouts rose again, and the Lakers' momentum almost hit rock bottom.

Kobe gritted his teeth and forced a charge, causing the Thunder to commit a defensive foul, but he only made 1 of 2 free throws. This prevented the Lakers' scoring drought from being completely broken. Tang lurked inside and blocked Reggie Jackson's breakthrough.

He took a shot, but the basketball was taken by Nick Collison, and then the basket was strong. Under Gasol's defense, he scored the basket attack.

It was impossible for Tang Qian to separate. He jumped to block Reggie Jackson on the other side. It was too late to move to the other side to block the shot. Nick Collison seized this opportunity and instantly became stronger. Logically speaking,

, Gasol is 7 feet tall, while Nick Collison is only 6 feet 10 inches, almost 5cm taller! In addition, Gasol also has a super wingspan of 230+cm, so he should have an advantage in offense and defense.

.

But this ball was not visible at all.

On the next ball, Gasol actually took the ball and shot from the high post and mid-range. Although it was a moderately open space, what the Lakers wanted now was not this. The Thunder seized this high post rebound and switched offense and defense.

, defensive counterattack, their talent and lineup mobility, even Miami can't match it, so they started running, and the Lakers completely lost. Durant caught the ball and flew for a fast break dunk, "Bang~", the score of the two teams

The difference was widened again.

Compared with the opponent's consecutive scoring, the Lakers only scored 1 point!

Out of 4 and a half points, only 1 point was scored, and the score difference has now expanded to 27 points!

There was no way, the momentum was completely lost, and the main offensive force inside was extremely sluggish. Mike D'Antoni could only call a timeout to interrupt the opponent's momentum and relieve the Lakers' pressure on the court. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would suddenly

He was completely defeated, and then the rest of the game failed to recover.

"Paul! What were you doing just now? A mid-range shot? Now we need you to play at the basket! You know how to play at the basket???" Mike D'Antoni immediately said in a face-to-face manner: "Ibaka is not here now.

There is only one Steven Adams, why can't you handle it? He is a pure rookie this year! You kept complaining last season that you didn't have the right to shoot in the low post. Now that I've given it to you, why don't you want it? You're kidding

Am I still trying to fool everyone and all Lakers fans?"

It's normal for D'Antoni to be angry. The Lakers' record is unexpectedly good now, and he doesn't plan to give up so easily. If he can keep it up, he may even win the Coach of the Year award this season. Although the Lakers

This season, it has little to do with his tactical system.

But the outside world doesn’t know.

And how many people would dislike having too many honors in their career resume?

Of course D'Antoni is the same, he will have to rely on this to make a living in the future, right?

Gasol was silent, and D'Antoni didn't mean much when he said this alone. Soon the entire Lakers bench area fell into a strange "cold scene." Finally, someone spoke first and said: "Paul,

Can you still fight?"

As soon as this man spoke, everyone turned their attention to him. He was the absolute ace of the Lakers, No. 24, Kobe Bryant.

Gasol looked at Kobe, but still didn't speak. He was always like this, even when he was beaten on the chest by the "Zen Master". Outbreak means saying nothing most of the time, and death means saying nothing most of the time. Silence is superfluous and direct.

Expression, I really don’t know how he is Spanish but lacks the matador spirit of a bullfighting country.

"I ask you, can you still fight?" Kobe asked again, this time his voice was obviously much harsher than the last time.

Gasol wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't speak.

He hoped that Kobe could understand him, but even the most understanding couple would sometimes not understand each other.

Kobe, that's it now.

The sense of oppression in the last season made him bear a lot of pressure this season that he could not explain clearly to others.

Originally, he hoped that the Spanish man in front of him would understand him best, but his current situation was full of disappointment.

But it was precisely because he was Gasol that Kobe would tolerate it until now, otherwise he would have directly criticized and reprimanded him in the locker room.

Gasol seemed a little dissatisfied with Kobe's tone. Tang Qian wanted to come out to smooth things over at this time, but after talking, he found that the former looked at him with a special look. This look was... displeased? No.

Joy? Resentment?

No, it can’t be right? Did you see it wrong???

In fact, he didn't feel wrong. Gasol had already developed an indescribable feeling for him.

It's not a rotten female, a base, a sentimental thing, but he thinks that Tang Qian has taken away something from him.

Something that should belong to him.

There is team status, fan love, and even a little bit about No. 24... that is the trust of the best comrade.

People are possessive. Gasol has always believed that he is Kobe's best partner in the NBA. He and No. 24 are even better than No. 8 and No. 34. Gasol has always believed in this.

Kobe also trusted him and took great care of him in the Lakers. In the early days of this season, Kobe, who had not yet recovered, helped Gasol write the preface to his new photo book "Life.Vida".

It says:

If today, I could choose someone to be my brother...

If one day, his group makes him lose his former favor, he will never be downcast...

Our connection is higher than the trust between ordinary friends...

I'm honored that I have a place in this preface...

Gasol also wrote on page 184 of this book: Lakers No. 24, Kobe Bryant, Black Mamba, he is like my brother and sister.

This 275-page new book has 16 chapters. Only one chapter is about basketball life stories, and most of this entire chapter is about No. 24, Kobe. So the relationship between Gasol and Kobe is really better than most people imagine.

is much better.

Otherwise, after Kobe retired, he wouldn't have directly said that the one who best matched him was Pau Gasol.

Speaking of a perfect match, 1+12, Kobe and Gasol are definitely one of the models in NBA history.

Therefore, Gasol was actually a little bit inexplicably jealous of Tang Qian.

It feels like someone has taken something that belongs to you.
