16. Pau Gasol's Shadow

Gasol made both free throws. In his one-on-one confrontation with Milicic, each time ended in his victory, but Milicic's foul this time made him feel uneasy.

Feeling. And this foul was actually a misjudgment. Milicic hit the ball firmly, but because of the angle, he fell to the ground, so the referee whistled Milicic's foul.

.

When he turned back to defend, Milicic went deep inside, holding on to Gasol, waiting for the ball from the outside. Gasol relied on his status and did not bother to defend forward. Milicic had no extra left after receiving the ball.

After turning around, he took three long steps and ignored Gasol who was defending in front of him. He jumped up and planned to dunk. Gasol knew that if he jumped to block the shot at this time, it might interfere with Milicic's attack, but

He didn't know why but chose to dodge and let Milicic dunk the basket with both hands.

"Bang!" The sound of Milicic dunking into the basket with both hands was so loud that even the noisy spectators on the sidelines held their breath. After a few seconds of silence, there was an explosion of cheers.

Voice.

Bill Laimbeer, who was standing next to the TV, threw a cup again and shouted loudly: "Damn it, this kid finally got it, he was taught by me!" As Ranbir's mother,

, I am really busy. No matter whether I am angry or happy, I have to go out to meet guests.

Piccinini shouted loudly: "Doko! Come on! Come on!"

Monica on the side had a dark look on her face: "Sister, didn't you put a curse on him? Doesn't this count as reneging on your word?"

Just a simple and violent dunk completely reversed the atmosphere on the court. Milicic pointed at Gasol and said: "This is the second inside lesson I give you - go all out to defeat your opponent."

Gasol finally understood why Milicic gave him an uneasy feeling. This feeling was very similar to that man, although he did not talk trash like others, nor did he have gorgeous offensive skills and super strong

Bounce, but he just knocks you down with one punch after another. That man is Tim Duncan, and that kind of power is the so-called dominance.

Gasol performed extremely well in the NBA this year, leading the Grizzlies to the playoffs for the first time since the team was founded. However, in the playoffs, he met the most terrifying man. He looked like

He is so dull, as if he will make a mistake at any time, and he will not counterattack your trash talk. Even after you play a wonderful attack, he still has no more reaction, just relaxes and makes shots like training.

A rebound shot.

There is a shadow in everyone's heart. Milicic's shadow is the fear of being considered a worthless waste, while Gasol's shadow is that simple and unpretentious man. There is a wall in front of each shadow.

Don't let others be easily touched. It was Gasol who broke the wall in Milicic's heart just now, and now it is Milicic who broke the layer of protection in Gasol's heart.

Gasol started to regain his consciousness after playing in a daze for a few rounds, and Serbia and Montenegro had already caught up with the score and were only three points behind.

After regaining consciousness, Gasol is not afraid of confronting Milicic, and to be honest, Milicic is indeed inferior to Gasol in all aspects, although Milicic, who shows his iron side, can

When facing Gasol, he won't be at an absolute disadvantage, but he will win more and lose less. He will focus more on defense to curb Gasol's offensive ability.

At the end of the midfield, the Spanish team entered the second half with an 8-point lead.

Coach Pesic said to the team members: "We performed well in the first half, especially Darko. You performed well when facing Gasol one-on-one. Although there were a few mistakes, it did not affect

The overall situation, and the most important thing is that you consumed a lot of Gasol's energy. Gasol probably won't play in the first four minutes of the second half, unless the Spanish team completely gives up the fourth quarter. So the first four minutes of the third quarter

This is the best time for us to counterattack. In the second half, our main attack point is Bodilloga. Kostic and Radmanovic move to the mid-range and outside, giving Bodilloga a chance to go in and kill the inside. If someone

Come double-team Bodilloga, Bodilloga will distribute the ball in time, and you must be decisive in shooting from the outside."

Within 2 minutes of the start of the second half, Bodiroga scored two goals and assisted Radmanovic to hit a three-pointer. The score was close to only one point. The Spanish team was not in a hurry to send in

Gasol replaced captain Jimenez with Fernandez. With two point guards and Fernandez pushed from shooting guard to small forward, the flexibility of the lineup suddenly improved a lot.

Fernandez is one year younger than Milicic, but his ability is not worse than that of long-established veterans like Navarro. To be precise, it is not that he is not worse, but he is much better than them. Although

He is a substitute, but he is the absolute ace of the Spanish team on the outside. Except for Gasol, he has unlimited firing rights with everyone on the court.

As soon as he came on the field, Fernandez took advantage of his speed and agility to break through Bodiroga's tank-like defense. He faced Radmanovic with a one-handed dunk, which won the whole house. Fernandez sat down to rest on the court.

Soldu couldn't help but wave his towel to cheer him on.

Fernandez's physical fitness is really not that of a white European, and the height he could reach when he dunked over Radmanovic was really amazing.

But looking back, Fernandez's agility that was full of advantages just now has become fragile. Bodiloga didn't use the shaking technique of dribbling and changing direction at all. He just squeezed Fernandez in and made a hit as if there was no interference.

Hit the shot.

The two sides went back and forth, and the score continued to rise, but the distance was never opened. This was also the role of the Spanish coach Fernandez, using his super offensive ability to bite the score until Gasol regained his strength.

and confidence.

Sure enough, after Bodilloga once again passed the ball to Kostic, and Kostic hit a high jumper, the two sides were tied at 52. The Spanish team requested a timeout, and after this timeout, Gasol will definitely play again. The Spanish team

We will fight with the strongest lineup.

Milicic glanced towards the Spanish bench, and Gasol happened to be looking in the direction of Milicic. The two looked at each other and immediately showed hostility. The two stretched out their arms almost at the same time.

Point to the other person.

The battle for the top insider will continue.
