Chapter 146: Someone Cried Faintly(1/2)
Navarro controlled the ball past halftime and saw Gasol asking for the ball under the basket.
He didn't know whether he should pass it, because Bynum was holding up Gasol, and it seemed that Gasol didn't have much advantage.
Moreover, the coach also asked him to pass more passes to Rudy Gay, with Rudy Gay as the core.
For future fans who know the results, Rudy Gay is obviously no match for Gasol.
But for the current Grizzlies management, Rudy Gay's potential is much greater than Gasol.
Gasol has played in the league for seven seasons, averaging only 188 points per game, and his best season was only 20.89.8.
Being the second boss is more than enough, but building a team with him as the core obviously has no future.
And Rudy Gay is only a second-year rookie, he has already scored 206 statistics, and he is also black, and his talent is visible to the naked eye.
Navarro throws the ball to Rudy Gay.
Rudy Gay faced Zhang Zhiyuan, took a few shots of the ball, jumped up, and shot toward Zhang Zhiyuan.
His touch is soft, his shooting is excellent, but his ability to break through with the ball is average.
Zhang Zhiyuan followed and jumped to interfere.
The ball goes in.
In transition between offense and defense, Kobe reached for the ball.
Fisher passed the ball. After all, Kobe had an advantage over Mike Miller.
Kobe just pushed Miller with his back and immediately gained space to shoot.
Then he turned around and shot a jumper, and the ball went in.
A bad team's offense may be bad or it may be good, but its defense is definitely bad.
Kobe secretly decided that he must shoot more in this game. This was his last chance.
The next two teams to play are the Mavericks and Celtics, and it will be very difficult to score points.
When the Grizzlies attacked, Gay wanted to repeat his old trick, but Zhang Zhiyuan's take-off was already faster, and before he could take action, he blocked his sight with his palm.
It was very bad to take action at this time, but the man had already jumped up, so it would be impossible not to take action.
Rudy Gay could only throw the ball out based on his feeling, but the ball missed.
Rudy Gay's poor breakthrough ability is a flaw. How can an outside core not be able to break through?
Even though Gay hit 20 in his second year, this was his final glory. After that, as others got familiar with him, his data would continue to decline, and he would eventually become mediocre.
The Lakers are attacking, and Zhang Zhiyuan is also asking for the ball.
His thoughts are similar to Kobe's, both want to take advantage of the opponent's weakness to score points, and focus on winning in the following games.
here we go again.
Fisher saw two people asking for the ball and felt helpless.
In line with the principle of fairness and justice, Fisher threw the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan played Rudy Gay in singles. He tried to break through first, but Gay followed up easily.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan pretended to shoot again, and Guy took the bait and jumped up high, blocking out the sky and the sun.
If Zhang Zhiyuan really takes action this time, there is a high probability that he will be blocked by Rudy Gay.
It's a pity that Gay's defensive experience is still relatively young now. When he matures, his defensive attitude will become lazy again.
In short, his defensive skills are not worthy of his physical talent.
Otherwise, a player of his type is most suitable to defend Zhang Zhiyuan. He is fast enough, can jump high enough, and has a long wingspan.
After Rudy Gay started to fall, Zhang Zhiyuan really took off and threw the ball.
The ball goes in.
When the Grizzlies attacked, Navarro also encountered the same situation as Fisher. Gasol and Rudy Gay were both asking for the ball.
At this point, he really wanted to throw the ball away, and then hug Fisher and cry for a while.
Navarro observed the situation on the court and then threw the ball to Miller.
Although the team wants to train Gay, it is impossible for him to take all the shots.
Because Kobe occupies a position closer to the penalty area, Miller is unguarded beyond the three-point line.
After Miller received the ball, he shot a three-pointer directly.
He is a spot-up shooter himself, and he can hit this kind of ball nine times out of ten.
The ball goes in.
5 to 5, it seemed that the Grizzlies and Lakers were evenly matched.
However, this is all temporary.
The strength of the Lakers lies in their stability.
In the next few rounds, Zhang Zhiyuan and Kobe took turns scoring goals.
The Grizzlies experienced a power outage, and Rudy Gay and Gasol struck one after another.
After a few rounds, the point difference widened.
The Grizzlies were attacking, and Zhang Zhiyuan signaled to Kobe to be more cautious and not to overwhelm the opponent in one quarter.
Kobe didn't want Zhang Zhiyuan to score more points, but he also wanted to score more points himself.
Conflicted, he finally chose to let go.
Mike Miller hit his second three-pointer.
10 to 14.
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe stayed behind to receive the serve, then dribbled the ball across half court, and then singled out Mike Miller.
He did everything in this offensive round, and the other four seemed a bit redundant.
The ball scored and caused a foul on Miller.
Extra penalty hit.
10 to 17.
"The gap is too big. There's nothing to look at. Let's play poker."
Buckley took out a pack of playing cards and threw them on the table.
Of course, this is a joke and not serious.
"I'm afraid Shuangxing will get off work early again."
Smith commented.
"Really? I don't think so."
Buckley showed a bad smile. He suspected that Zhang Zhiyuan would let the data go, but he did not say it out loud so as not to affect Zhang Zhiyuan.
evaluation.
On the court, the Grizzlies are on offense.
Gay scored again, and then he roared, thinking he was good again.
During the transition between offense and defense, Fisher continued to share the cake and passed the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan broke through Gay, the Grizzlies didn't have anyone to cover up, and Zhang Zhiyuan scored a layup.
12 to 19.
These 19 points were all scored by Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan, and no one else had taken action yet.
In the next round, the Grizzlies players finally started to help defend under the roar of coach Jafaroni.
Because Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan were the ones attacking before, their defense could be very clear.
Navarro rushed to Kobe and grabbed the ball. Kobe was shocked. He failed to control the ball in his panic and let go of the basketball.
The Grizzlies steal the ball and Rudy Gay goes for a fast break.
His speed was very fast. Zhang Zhiyuan chased him for two steps and then simply stopped. It's not that he couldn't catch up, but it was difficult to cover him if he caught up, so he might as well save some energy.
This kind of defensive attitude would be coachable by anyone else. But Zhang Zhiyuan is a privileged player, so it is not a big problem.
The Grizzlies scored and the Lakers attacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan also encountered a double-team, and then Zhang Zhiyuan threw the ball behind him. Hayes caught the ball and made a layup, and the ball went in.
Finally another Laker player scored.
The Grizzlies were attacking. Gay held the ball and wanted to attack. Zhang Zhiyuan pressed forward and used his body to fight.
Although he wants to let go, he can't let Gay score high scores, which will be bad for his defensive evaluation.
Zhang Zhiyuan hopes that Rudy Gay will pass the ball and let Miller throw more.
It's a pity that Guy, a fool like him, is so confident now that he thought he could defeat Zhang Zhiyuan alone.
Still taking off and shooting despite physical confrontation.
He regretted it the moment he jumped and found that his shooting motion had been deformed.
