Three Hundred and Nineteenth: Don't Suffer From Culture Anymore

Coincidentally, Gasol lived in Memphis when he first came to the United States with his family. Later, because Gasol was selected, the family moved to Vancouver. In other words, Gasol spent some time in Memphis during his childhood.

And when he returned to Memphis again, he was already the MVP of the Spanish League.

Therefore, Gasol Jr. is often called "the real Memphis man" by fans. Although he is from Spain, he has a lot of Memphis qualities from living here as a child.

You thought he was a gentleman, but he looked like a rough medieval peasant. You thought he was a farmer, but he looked like a chic cowboy. You think he's like a cowboy, but sometimes he's like an elegant gentleman.

Memphis, mostly.

So in Memphis, Gasol's popularity is really high. So much so that on the night of the game against the Clippers, countless fans held up signs supporting Gasol Jr. They all believe that Gasol will make Jordan pay for his bad words.

Of course, Jordan doesn't think so himself.

"Today we will play our own style. I know we have lost to the Grizzlies twice this season, but that doesn't mean anything. This is a new fight and we will not back down."

When interviewed by reporters before the game, Jordan was still arrogant. After finishing speaking, he did not forget to show off his arm muscles to the camera.

Jordan has always been a confident player, and he really wants to perform well against the All-Star center.

In this regard, Gasol did not use words to choke Jordan, "I just want to do my job well, do a good job of screens, protect rebounds, and hit those balls that have opportunities, that's all. I I don’t need to prove anything, and I don’t need to go one-on-one with a player. All I have to do is help the team win.”

It seems that Gasol Jr. doesn't seem to care about Jordan's provocation. Only Link knew that if he really believed what that guy said, it would really be hell!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began. After a whole season of running-in and adjustments, the Clippers have determined their final lineup for the playoffs.

At the beginning of the season, the Clippers played a Paul + Billups dual point guard lineup. However, due to the reimbursement of Billups' torn ankle for the season, the Clippers are now using Paul + Randy Foye to partner with the back line.

Forwards, it is still Caron Butler and Griffin, while the center has always been the unshakable DeAndre Jordan.

The Clippers coach on the bench now basically only uses three people in rotation, Nick Young, Kenyon Martin and Eric Bledsoe. Others were either injured, or confirmed to be abandoned after a season of training.

It can be seen from the three-man rotation of the Clippers that they are a team that relies heavily on starting. No matter how the substitutions are made, the starters will remain on the field.

Facts have proved that the efficiency of this rotation is still very high. From March 24 to the present 9 games, the Clippers have won 8 of them. The only loss was the Los Angeles Derby, where Kobe and Bynum combined for 67 points, which made the Clippers lose. Otherwise, they might have played a wave of 9 consecutive victories.

Of course, this is also the reason why the Clippers are reluctant to play the Los Angeles Derby early in the playoffs. So they are bound to get the third seat in the West.

Jordan stood in the middle circle and competed with Gasol Jr., his eyes full of banter. Little Gasol looked serious, and his emotions were not affected in the slightest.

The referee blows his whistle and throws the basketball into the air. Little Jordan made a leap with all his strength, and the height he reached was beyond the reach of Gasol!

From the jump ball stage, Jordan has been competing with Gasol.

The Clippers got the ball first, and after Chris Paul walked beyond the three-point line, he beckoned for Jordan to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Jordan is strong and strong, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is excellent. Although Conley tried to bypass it, he was still stopped by Jordan.

Seeing this situation, Gasol had to make up for delaying Paul in the past.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jordan quickly cut in and went to the basket! Facing Gasol, Paul casually threw the ball into the air!

Seeing the basketball being tossed up, Gasol knew it was over. Sure enough, in the next second, Jordan caught the basketball in the air. Then with all his strength, he smashed the ball into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket made a loud noise, and then was pulled by Jordan so that it fell a few centimeters.

The audience was stunned, this is the style of the city of lobbing!

"Beautiful alley-oop, it's been a routine for the Clippers this season. DeAndre Jordan's cut behind the screen is very timely, and his athleticism allows him to easily complete this kind of explosive goal. Paul's His thinking is also very clear, and he knows exactly what he should do next."

Hubie Breen admitted that even he was overwhelmed by Jordan's dunk. A dunk by such a big player is always full of destructive power.

Jordan's ball just now can be given a full score in terms of the height of the jump and the strength of the dunk.

After scoring the goal, Jordan did not forget to yell at Gasol. This guy's brash appearance drew boos from the audience.

"It's okay, it's just one goal behind. Take your time, take your time according to the plan!" Hollins shouted from the sidelines, trying to stabilize the morale of the players.

No matter how beautiful the dunk is, it is only worth 2 points. It's normal to fall behind by one goal at the start, and Hollins doesn't want the players' mentality to explode as soon as they come up.

The live camera couldn't help but give Gasol a close-up of his face. He was so humiliated by his opponent at the beginning of the game. People guessed that his expression must be very exciting.

However, Gasol has no expression at all, you can't see the emotion of this guy at all from his face. He just ran forward silently, ready to participate in the next attack.

Today, Caron Butler defended Link very tightly. The two sides played against each other at the beginning of the season. Butler had just returned from a serious injury, and his physical condition had not yet adjusted to a perfect state. But now, Butler has played at a good level.

In the last Clippers game against the Kings, Butler scored 28 points in one fell swoop.

Conley wanted to use the screen to break through Paul, but Paul's speed around the pick-and-roll was very fast. He has been pestering Conley, not giving him any chance. Griffin also stubbornly stood up to Randolph. Although the number one repeater was not a match for Link, he also worked very hard against the others. He didn't want to lose to Link again.

The Clippers' defense was very tight, and in the end, Conley had to hang the ball to Gasol. Gasol asked for his position near the penalty area, then raised his hand for the ball. Conley didn't have a good choice, so he had to pass the ball.

The audience cheered instantly, is Gasol finally going to confront Jordan? ?

"Hey, that's right, jerk!" Gasol leaned against Jordan with the ball, and Jordan began to think about it.

"Cornudo!" As everyone knows, Gasol actually replied to Jordan, but Jordan was surprised to find that he couldn't understand this word!

"What the hell!?"

Naturally, Gasol didn't answer. He took a step back, but he didn't attack the frame, but made a pass after attracting the defense!

Link, who cut to the basket, received the basketball tacitly. Since Gasol attracted Jordan's defensive attention, there was no threat to the basket. Link made an easy layup and evened the score for the Grizzlies!

"Damn!" Little Jordan cursed angrily when he saw Link score the goal. He wanted to be one-on-one with Gasol so much that he didn't pay attention to the team's overall defense.

Seeing the team's exquisite coordination, Hollins nodded in relief. Indeed, Gasol's physical fitness is not the best, and his scoring ability is average. But his support and one-handed passing are not possessed by the rough-skilled Jordan.

It appears that Gasol has not lost his mind. He didn't confront the opponent because of DeAndre Jordan's provocation. On the contrary, Gasol intends to use his own way to deal with the enemy!

Beautiful low position support is one of the ways!

After the assist, Gasol immediately turned around and returned to the defense, leaving only Jordan standing there in a daze. At this moment, Link passed by Jr. Jordan and said a word to him.

"Do you want to know what he just said? During the intermission, use your phone to search 100 swearing sentences in Spanish. From now on, don't suffer from culture." After finishing speaking, Link rushed Little Jordan blinked.

Little Jordan gritted his teeth angrily. He really didn't know why the Grizzlies gathered such a bunch of annoying guys.

Gasol retreated to his own half, his eyes focused, still expressionless. But just now, he has obviously made a statement-today, he will fight to the death with Jordan!

Yes, you thought he was a gentleman. In fact, he could also be a rude Spanish farmer.
