Chapter 780 Jiasao's return! The 4D outbreak is complete~~
Why can't everyone understand it? That's because what Kobe said is Spanish!
Don't think it's incredible. In fact, Kobe is a person with good language talents. He can speak English, Italian and Spanish fluently. However, he did not learn this language with Gasol, but with his wife Va.
Vanessa is proficient in English and Spanish. Therefore, you can often see Gasol and Kobe exchanging tactics in Spanish on the court to make the other party confused and achieve the effect of timely command.
This is definitely not a lie! Gasol has stated many times that he and Kobe have tactical exchanges in Spanish, the purpose is to make the opponent completely incomprehensible and confused. Secondly, after Kobe retired, he once participated in a game organized by the University of
The rich man Carlos Slim held an event in Mexico. Then he gave a speech directly in Spanish in front of more than 10,000 viewers. He also answered many reporters’ questions in Spanish at the same time. This is enough proof that on the 24th, it can be said
Speaks fluent Spanish.
As for why Spanish is used here, there are several reasons.
First, for the sake of confidentiality, he does not plan to announce the news yet. He wants to be like the Bulls Jordan back then and make a statement after winning the championship. Original time and space? There is no way. The Lakers' record is a mess, but they still want to
Buying tickets can only be a gimmick, which is the so-called "farewell season".
The second is to show respect to Gasol and tell him, hey, only you can understand this sentence.
This is definitely a good way to impress people. In a foreign country, the mother tongue will have magical power.
When Gasol heard this, he also asked in Spanish: "What did you say? Bryant? What do you mean?"
"I said." Kobe said: "This is my last season. After I finish this season, I will retire."
"So, I don't have another season to wait for, only now."
"How, how is it possible?" Gasol seemed to be still trying to digest the news. He said: "You have performed so well this season and your injuries are not affected at all. Why do you want to retire??? I don't understand???"
It's normal not to understand, but Kobe himself knows exactly what's going on.
There are rumors that he made a deal with the Devils and replaced him with a Devil's Achilles tendon, so that he can regain his youth and hit a new career high this season. This speculation, in a sense, actually makes sense.
Because Tang Qian made it very clear to him that the price is to overdraw all his future career life in exchange for a peak season.
And it's at its all-round peak.
Kobe didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage, because it was not his wish to play in such a desperate manner.
After living half-dead for a few years, it is better to have a vigorous fight! Make one last big gamble!
But he couldn't say these things, so he could only reply like this: "Paul, just think that I really made a deal with the devil. So whether you believe it or not, I only have this last thing left."
A season, the last few dozen games."
"I don't have to lie to you."
"Really?" Gasol knew that the No. 24 in front of him was not a joking person, but this news was really too shocking. He played so well and retired??? Do he really want to imitate Chicago's No. 23?
"Really." Kobe nodded and said.
"That's why you haven't renewed your contract? The management has drafted the contract, and you haven't made a statement?" Gasol seemed to have thought of something and asked. Kobe didn't answer, but his expression said it all.
Everything, Gasol guessed correctly.
That's what he planned.
Since it is the last season, there is no need to rob the management of money anymore. It is also good to leave more salary space for the team in the future.
After all, this is the team he has been with for half his life.
"You don't think about it anymore? Isn't it such a waste?"
"It's not necessary, it's been decided, so Paul." Kobe looked into Gasol's eyes and said: "If you still want to win the O'Brien Cup with me again, if you still want to stand with me again,
On top of the world, please use your full strength."
"I know, this is not your limit, right?"
"I...I..." Gasol muttered a few times, then suddenly changed his expression and said seriously: "I understand."
"If this is really your last season, I will do my best to help you."
"Okay, let's go on the court, we need the real you." Kobe said.
"Yes, I will, Bryant." Gasol nodded.
What, what? What are the two people saying? Huh? Can Gasol understand? Spanish???
Kobe can speak Spanish??? Regarding this, Tang Qian has never heard of this before. Maybe he doesn’t pay much attention to things off the court. In fact, let alone him, who else on the Lakers bench understands it?
What? This is simply a "friendly crit".
Gasol's heart was greatly satisfied.
Did you see it? I am still the person Kobe Bryant trusts the most! The partner he relies on the most!
"Tang, let's talk about our business later. This season, we will try our best to win!" Gasol turned around and said suddenly.
"Okay, that's what I asked for." Although Tang Qian didn't know what Kobe Bryant said to Gasol, it was obvious that the Spaniard began to recover mentally and resurrected. This is really amazing and amazing.
The bond of friendship on the basketball court suddenly made Gasol sober, because he also knew that his peak honors were all given by Kobe. There is no reason why he should not step forward when his friends need help the most!
This reason couldn't be more appropriate.
After returning to the court, Kobe began to stop his personal offense slightly because he wanted to rest and gain strength for the last few minutes.
And on the current scene, it is obvious that the opponent's inside line is the weakest link.
Opponents always take advantage of the Lakers' weaknesses, and the Lakers can do the opposite tonight. The pattern of the first 60 games of the season needs to change. The Lakers do not have a reliable twin tower in front of them, Tang Qian + Sac
Ray is just a temporary replacement. The latter's ability, whether offensive or defensive, is definitely not as good as that of Pau Gasol. Now that the Spaniard is back, as long as he can show his true strength, then the Lakers' inside line will
It will immediately be strengthened by several percent.
And it is a comprehensive strengthening of both offense and defense.
Gasol took the initiative to hold the ball inside, and Tang Qian opened up the space on one side of the inside, allowing the former to fully perform low-post movements.
Gasol turned around, made a small hook, and scored!
Steven Adams' defense is very hard and active, but for this kind of soft-touch technical flow, the restriction effect is not good. Using softness to overcome strength also exists in the NBA. How did Big Dream shave O'Neal's head in the finals?
?This is the case.
The Thunder attacked and Reggie Jackson made a breakthrough shot, but was interfered by Tang Qian. The basketball fell near Steven Adams. The latter took the ball and made a second attack shot under the basket.
This ball was too late for Tang Qian to move, but the Spaniard did not play the same game as before. He withstood the opponent's impact, then straightened his long arms and used his super wingspan to barely miss the shot.
“Great job!!!”
Kobe held the ball on a fast break, chased after him and hit a three-pointer, still 15 points behind his opponent.
Durant quickly retaliated and shot through Kobe Yan. There was nothing that could be done about this kind of ball. Even if Jordan came, he could only interfere, and there was basically no possibility of blocking it from the front.
"17 points! Don't even think about making a comeback!" Durant said forcefully after scoring the goal. He would never allow No. 9 to appear twice in a row. Otherwise, it would be greatly detrimental to his MVP selection.
The Lakers' position battle was still handed over to Gasol. Gasol turned around in the low post and stepped in. Steven Adams blocked the former and at the same time said: "Don't even think about going in again!"
Gasol's body has always been relatively "soft" and "weak" in terms of performance, but it's not like he didn't stand up, such as this ball, he forcibly withstood the opponent's body collision, and then hit the board into the net! The referee blew the whistle!!
!2+1!!!
Yes!!!
Gasol roared, and Tang Qian was surprised to find that he had actually entered "The Zone".
It seems that the communication between Kobe and him worked wonders, giving the previously sluggish Spaniard a new look. This situation is of course what the Lakers need most now. After Tang Qian's explosive scoring ability goes down
, Gasol can make up for it at the right time and become the new main attacking point at the right time.
In this way, Kobe and Kobe can form a situation of internal and external coordination, and the Thunder team will not dare to double-team No. 24 so unscrupulously.
Durant dribbled the ball again, but the ball was defended by Kobe. The Lakers No. 24 stole the ball at the moment he took the shot. Lakers fast break!!!
After attracting the defense, Kobe passed to Wesley Johnson who was following him. The latter made a layup, but within a second of taking the shot, a blue figure flew out of the back and gave Wesley Johnson a big blow.
.
"Kevin Durant!!! Beautiful block!!! We contained the Lakers' fast break!!!"
Before he finished speaking, the basketball was taken by another Lakers player who followed, and then he attacked the basket hard and hit the Thunder's basket. Beep~, the ball went in!!! Another AND was obtained.
ONE opportunity!!!
Tang Qian stood on the free throw line, and after thinking for a long time, he took the shot, and the basketball was "lucky" and got into the net.
Including Gasol's 2+1 just now, we are now only 11 points behind the Thunder!!!
During this period, the Lakers played extremely well in both offensive and defensive rounds, destroying the Thunder's previous offensive momentum in one breath.
Fisher missed a three-pointer and had a defensive rebound. Tang Qian grabbed it and threw it to Farmar to dribble across the court.
Kobe passed the ball inside, Gasol hit it in the low post, then turned around and cut in for a breakthrough!
At this time, Gasol's abilities were revealed. As a big man, why can he explode with almost perfect abilities in the triangle offense? His golf intelligence and support ability are simply the peak level of the 4th position. There are not many in the league.
The No. 4 position is better than him in this regard. The basketball was passed directly from the inside basket to the three-point line in the bottom corner, and Jordan Farmar made a three-pointer.
Brush~
Come in again!!!
Only 8 points left!!! In less than 3 minutes, the Lakers recovered the 11-point score difference in one breath!!!
Except for Durant's 2-pointer, the Thunder actually didn't score any more goals.
In this case, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks naturally called a timeout. After the timeout, he indeed sent in the entire starting lineup. It can be seen that he also had lingering fears about the previous game.
The two sides began to enter a tug-of-war, with both sides refusing to give in. Up to this point, no one wants to lose.
In fact, the Thunder still have some advantages. After all, the Lakers still have perimeter vulnerabilities. Westbrook and Durant cannot be fully taken into account. If Kobe tries to defend Durant, he will inevitably let go of Westbrook and defend Westbrook. If Sbrook is there, Durant must be let go. This is a situation that is basically unsolvable. And except for the Heat, no one has two offensive and defensive perimeter stars. This is one of the Thunder's biggest advantages.
The score difference has remained between 7 and 8 points, the shooting percentages of both sides have dropped significantly, and the rhythm has gradually slowed down.
And this is obviously a rhythm that the Lakers are more comfortable with.
Because they not only have Kobe Bryant, a super-attacking expert, but also have a twin-tower insider, and even the latter is the key to defeating the Thunder.
Why do you say that? Because positional warfare is originally a game rhythm that is more beneficial to big men.
Gasol continued after entering "The.Zone" and did not fall out, so he was extremely strong inside. Coupled with Tang Qian's strong rebounds and two hard attacks, the Lakers' inside line was completely overwhelmed. The Thunder's inside line. Ibaka began to be unable to defend the Spaniard on his own, so the Thunder's situation became more passive. Fortunately, the Lakers' outside line could not guard their outside line, so the two sides were inseparable. , the scene was very intense.
This is the result of adding Gasol.
Not only has the stable attack point increased by one, but the inside defensive loopholes have also decreased by one. After all, Gasol is also a master of protecting the rim. He has protected the rim 1.7 times in his career! This is already quite good! And his single The ability to defend and assist in defense is something Thackeray cannot compare with.
With Gasol, the Lakers have truly become an iron-barreled formation inside. Tang Qian can increase his roaming range as much as possible without having to worry about being beaten by his opponent under the basket once he is transferred out. Sol's defense has always been excellent. It may not reach the level of interior defense, but it is definitely much higher than the average level.
Therefore, the strength of the Lakers team has suddenly improved a lot.
The number of loopholes has also been reduced from 3 to 2, and the internal lines have become a tight fit.
The Thunder team played much harder than before.
Even if they can defeat one of the Lakers' perimeter positions, neither Durant nor Westbrook are the type to score super explosively. In other words, giving them unlimited firing rights would be difficult under normal circumstances. He scored extremely high points. Westbrook is still in the growth stage. Let alone 50+ points later, he has never scored 48 points now.
The Lakers had the advantage on the inside and the Thunder had the advantage on the outside. It was a lively game.
Seeing Gasol score another inside hook, the Thunder's head coach shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Guard him, keep an eye on him. The Lakers can only rely on Kobe! Keep an eye on him! Serge!!" !" It's easy to say, but not so easy to do, because Gasol is now a completely different person from the first three quarters. His competitive state is also in "The.Zone". Ibaka wants to contain it alone, That's really difficult.
Moreover, his strength is assist defense, not single defense. After all, his height and tonnage are there.
Gasol's ability to kill in isolation is very strong. After all, he is the number one killer inside FIBA. Even if he cannot fully display it in the NBA, the success rate is still high if he wants to defeat Ibaka in isolation after his state breaks out. Ibaka is one-on-one.
Defense is actually not as good as his data looks like.
Until the last two and a half minutes, the Lakers were still 6 points behind their opponents. At this time, Lakers No. 24, who had rested for most of the quarter, began to stand up. He first forced Westbrook to score one-on-one, and then defended the defense.
Durant caught him, turned around and succeeded with his back again. Suddenly, the score difference was only 2 points.
Fortunately for the Thunder, Durant came out to extend his life and hit a three-pointer, widening the score difference to 5 points again.
Kobe missed the shot, Tang Dian flew the rebound, and then let Gasol get it. The height advantage of the Twin Towers is directly demonstrated from here. Gasol is not Sacre, he can also get 10+ rebounds all year round.
Even if he is over 35 years old in the next few years, he will still have 16+11+4+2, with powerful statistics. Together with Tang Qian last season, he can make any inside combination in the league uncomfortable, let alone this season?
??
Tang Qian, who has 21+ rebounds, and Gasol, who still has 10+~11+ rebounds, can suppress the Thunder's rebounding. It is a matter of course and reasonable. Otherwise, do you think Ibaka is even close?
With 9+ rebounds and Steven Adams with 4+ rebounds, what threat can it pose to Tang Qian and Gasol’s rebounds???
With the guarantee of rebounds at critical moments, Kobe plays more relaxed and confidently. His key goals this season were abnormal. Now, because of the strong guarantee of rebounds, he is even more decisive and decisive in his shots.
In contrast, the Thunder were a lot flustered. Furthermore, they never had an easy time playing key games.
Even if there is Durant, it will be a drop in the bucket and cannot save the overall situation.
And if he wants to compete with Kobe Bryant for key balls this season, he is really far behind.
It was almost the same ending pattern as the previous game. Durant made 1 of 4 shots at the last minute, and Kobe Bryant made 3 of 4 shots. The key player singled out, and it ended directly. The key player of the Lakers crushed the key player of the Thunder.
Mr. No. 24, he finally made a back-up jump shot and used a gorgeous and graceful shot to definitely kill the Thunder.
The Thunder failed to attack in the last 7 seconds, Durant was beaten to death by Kobe Bryant, and Russell Westbrook could only take the basketball in the end.
Compared with Durant, he is much less threatening, and his shooting skills are not on the same level.
About 31% of three-pointers is Westbrook's approximate three-point shooting percentage this season. It's not particularly ugly, but it's definitely not very good-looking. The basketball collapsed and the Lakers narrowly defeated Oklahoma by 2 points.
Thunder.
He continued to improve his winning streak to 18 consecutive victories.
After the game, Durant was so angry that he did not attend the press conference. Kobe was in a good mood and said:
Congratulations to my brother Gasol for officially returning! Becoming second in the Western Conference is not the end, it is just the beginning.
It's just the beginning.
As for other teams in the league, just wait and see.
The Lakers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference, with 3.5 games left behind the Spurs, who are first in the Western Conference.
