Chapter 787 Adding my sister-in-law returns! (The explosion of [-]D is completed~please subscribe~)

Why can't everyone understand?That's because Kobe spoke Spanish!
Don't feel incredible, in fact, Kobe is considered a person with good language talent. He can use English, Italian fluently, and one is Spanish.However, this language was not learned from Gasol, but from his wife Vanessa, who is proficient in English and Spanish.Therefore, Gasol and Kobe can often be seen communicating tactics in Spanish on the court, so as to make the other party unable to understand and achieve the effect of timely command.

This is absolutely 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, Kobe participated in an event held in Mexico by the rich man Carlos Slim after he retired.Then speak directly in Spanish in front of an audience of over 1 people.And at the same time, he answered many reporters' questions in Spanish.This is enough to prove that the number 24 can speak Spanish fluently.

As for why Spanish is used here, there are several reasons.

One is for the sake of secrecy, he does not intend to announce this news, he wants to be like the Bull Jordan back then, and make a statement after winning the championship.The original time and space?That's no way, the Lakers' record is in a mess, but they have to buy tickets, so they can only make 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 a magical power.

When Gasol heard it, he also asked in Spanish: "What did you say? Bryant? What do you mean?"

"I said." Kobe said: "This is my last season, and I will retire after I finish this season."

"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 what's going on.

It is rumored that he made a deal with the devil and replaced it with a devil's Achilles tendon, so he can rejuvenate and hit a new career high this season.This guess, in a sense, actually makes sense.

Because Tang Qian made it very clear to him, the price is to overdraw all future career life in exchange for a peak season.

And it's the full peak.

Kobe didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage, because it was not his wish to play so lingeringly.

It's better to fight vigorously after living half-dead for several years!One last gamble!
However, he couldn't say these things, so he could only answer like this: "Paul, you just think that I really made a deal with the devil. So whether you believe it or not, all I have left is this last One season, the last dozens of games."

"I don't need to lie to you."

"Really, really?" Gasol knew that the No. 24 in front of him was not a joker, but the news was too shocking.Playing so well, retire? ? ?Do you really want to learn Chicago No. 23?

"Really." Kobe nodded.

"That's why you didn't renew the contract for a long time? The management has drawn up the contract, but you haven't made a statement?" Gasol seemed to think of something and asked.Kobe didn't answer, but his expression said it all, Gasol guessed right.

That's what he intended.

Since it is the last season, there is no need to exploit the management's money. It is also good to leave more salary space for the team in the future.

This, after all, is the team he has been with for half his life.

"You don't think about it anymore? Isn't it too wasteful?"

"It's not necessary, it's already settled, 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 all your strength."

"I know, this is not your limit, is it?"

"I...I..." Gasol muttered a few times, then suddenly changed his expression, and said seriously: "I see."

"If this is really your last season, I will do my best to help you."

"Okay, let's play, we need the real you." Kobe said.

"Well, I will, Bryant." Gasol nodded.

What are you doing? ? ?What are the two talking about? ? ?Um?Can Gasol understand?Spanish? ? ?

Kobe can speak Spanish? ? ?Regarding this point, Tang Qian hadn't heard much before, maybe he didn't pay much attention to things outside the court.In fact, let alone him, who understands the Lakers bench area?This is simply a "friendship crit".

Let Gasol's heart be greatly satisfied.

did you see that!I'm still the person Kobe trusts most now!The most dependent partner!
"Hot, let's talk about our affairs later, this season, try our best to win!" Gasol turned his head and said suddenly.

"Okay, I can't wait for it." Although Tang Qian didn't know what Kobe had said to Gasol, it was obvious that the Spaniard had begun to recover and revived.This is really amazing, amazing.

The bond of friendship on the basketball court made Gasol suddenly sober, because he also knew that his peak honor was given by Kobe.There's no reason why he shouldn't come forward when a friend needs help the most!

This reason couldn't be more appropriate.

Back on the court, Kobe began to stop his personal offense a little, because he had to rest and recharge for the final few minutes.

And now on the scene, it is obvious that the opponent's inside line is the weakest link, and if it is not for nothing, it is not for nothing.

Opponents always exploit the Lakers' weaknesses, and the Lakers can take advantage of them tonight.The pattern of more than 60 games before the season needs some changes.There are no reliable twin towers in front of the Lakers, and Tang Qian + Thackeray is just a temporary top.The latter's abilities, whether offensive or defensive, are definitely inferior to Pau Gasol's overall.Now that the Spaniard is back, as long as he can show his true strength, the Lakers' inside line will be strengthened by several percent.

And it is a comprehensive strengthening of the offensive and defensive ends.

Gasol took the initiative to hold the ball inside, and Tang Qian opened up one side of the inside space, allowing the former to make full low-post moves.

Gasol turned around, made a small hook, swiped~, and scored!
Steven Adams' defense is very hard and active, but for this kind of soft technical flow, the restriction effect is not good.Overcoming rigidity with softness also exists in the NBA.How did the big dream shave O'Neal's head in the finals?This is the case.

The Thunder attacked, Reggie Jackson made a breakthrough shot, but was interfered by Tang Qian, and the basketball fell near Steven Adams.The latter took the ball and made a strong move, and made a second offensive shot at the basket.

Tang Qian didn't have time to move the ball, but the Spaniard didn't play soy sauce as before, and resisted the opponent's impact. Then he straightened his long arms and used his super wingspan to barely slap the shot.

"Nice job!!!"

Kobe made a fast break with the ball, and after chasing it, he hit a three-pointer, which was 15 points behind his opponent.

Durant quickly retaliated and shot through Kobe's face. There is no way to do this kind of ball. Even if Jordan comes, he can only interfere. Basically, there is no possibility of a frontal block.

"17 points! You don't want to come back!" Durant said forcefully after scoring a goal. He absolutely does not allow the situation of No. 9 to appear twice in a row.Otherwise, it would be a great disadvantage to his MVP selection.

The Lakers still handed over the positional battle to Gasol. Gasol turned around in a low position and stepped in. Steven Adams blocked the former and said at the same time: "Don't even think about going in!"

Gasol's body has always been relatively "soft" and "weak" in terms of performance, but it is not when he is not without arousal, such as this ball, he forcibly withstood the opponent's body collision, and then hit the board into the net!The referee blows the whistle! ! ! 2+1! ! !

Yes! ! !

Gasol roared, and Tang Qian was surprised to find that he actually entered "The.Zone".

It seems that the communication between Kobe and him has had a miraculous effect, and it immediately made the previously depressed Spaniard look brand new.This situation, of course, is what the Lakers need most now.After Tang Qian's high-explosive scoring ability goes down, Gasol can make up in time and become a new main attack point in time.

In this way, Kobe and Kobe can form an internal and external echo situation, and the Thunder 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 of his shot.The Lakers fast break! ! !

After attracting the defense, Kobe passed to Wesley Johnson who followed him. The latter made a layup, but within a second of the shot, a blue figure flew out from behind and gave Wesley Johnson a big hit .

"Kevin Durant!!! Brilliant block!!! We stopped this Lakers fast break!!!"

Before the words fell, the basketball was picked up by another Lakers player who was following up, and then he made a hard attack at the basket and hit it against the Thunder's basket.Beep beep~, the goal is scored! ! !Another chance to AND.ONE! ! !
Tang Qian stood on the free throw line, deliberated for a while before making a shot, swiped~, the basketball was "lucky" into the net.

Adding Gasol's 2+1 just now, the Thunder are now only 11 points away! ! !

During this period of time, 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 there was nothing to say about the defensive rebound. Tang Qian grabbed it and threw it to Farmar to dribble across the field.

Kobe passed the ball inside, Gasol made a low post, then turned around and made a breakthrough!

At this time, Gasol's ability was revealed. As a big man, why can he explode with almost perfect ability in the triangle offense?The player's intelligence and coping ability are simply at the peak level of the 4th position. In the league, there are few 4th positions better than him.The basketball passed directly from the inside basket to the three-point line in the corner, and Jordan Farmar made a three-pointer.

brush~
Come on! ! !

Only 8 points left! ! !In less than 3 minutes, the Lakers recovered the 11-point score difference in one go! ! !
Except for Durant's 2-pointer, the Thunder didn't score any more.

In this case, Thunder coach Scott Brooks naturally called a timeout. After the timeout, he really sent the full starting lineup.It can be seen that he also has lingering fears about the last game.

The double serve began to enter into a tug-of-war, both sides refused to give in to each other, so far, no one wants to lose.

In fact, the Thunder still have some advantages. After all, the Lakers still have outside loopholes. Westbrook and Durant, they can't fully take care of them.If Kobe defends Durant, he must let go of Westbrook, and if he defends Westbrook, he must let go of Durant.This is a basically unsolvable bureau.And except for the Heat, no one has an offensive and defensive double perimeter star, which is one of the biggest advantages of the Thunder.

The score difference has been maintained between 7 and 8 points, the shooting percentage of both sides has been significantly reduced, and the rhythm has gradually slowed down.

And this is obviously a more adaptable rhythm for the Lakers.

Because they not only have the super master Kobe Bryant, but also the inside of the twin towers, 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 has continued after entering "The.Zone" and has not fallen out, so he is extremely strong inside.Coupled with Tang Qian's strong rebounds and a second hard attack, the Lakers' inside line completely overwhelmed the Thunder's inside line.Ibaka began to be unable to defend the Spaniard alone, so the situation of the Thunder tended to be passive.But fortunately, the Lakers' outside line can't guard against their outside line, so the two sides played inextricably and the scene was very intense.

This is the result of adding Gasol.

Not to mention the addition of a stable attack point, the inside defensive loopholes have also been reduced by one. How can I say that Gasol is also a master with a lot of experience in protecting the basket.There are 1.7 times in his career to protect the basket!That's pretty good already!Moreover, his single-defense and cooperative defense capabilities are also unmatched by Thackeray.

With Gasol, the Lakers have truly become an iron bucket formation inside. Tang Qian can increase his roaming range as much as possible without worrying that once he is transferred out, he will be blown up by the opponent's basket.Gasol's defense has always been excellent, maybe not up to the level of the inside defense, but it is definitely above the average level by a large margin.

Therefore, the strength of the Lakers has suddenly improved a lot.

The number of loopholes has also been reduced from 3 to 2, and the inside line has become a seamless existence.

The Thunder team played a lot harder than before.

Even if they can blow up an outside position of the Lakers, whether it is Durant or Westbrook, they are not the type of super scoring explosion.In other words, giving them unlimited fire rights, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to score particularly high scores.Westbrook is still in the growth stage, not to mention the 50+ later, he has never scored 48 points.

The Lakers have an advantage inside, and the Thunder have an outside advantage, playing very lively.

Seeing that Gasol scored another inside hook, the head coach of the Thunder yelled loudly from the sidelines: "Defend him, and the Lakers can only rely on Kobe! Watch him! Serge!! !" It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do, because Gasol is now a different person from the first three quarters.Competitive status is also in "The.Zone".It is really difficult for Ibaka to contain it alone.

Moreover, his strength is assisting defense, not single defense. After all, his height and tonnage are there.

Gasol's solo kill ability is very strong. After all, he is the number one killer inside FIBA. Even if he can't fully play in the NBA, if he wants to single Ibaka after his state breaks out, the success rate is still not low.Ibaka's one-on-one defense is actually not as good-looking as his statistics look.

Until the last 2 and a half minutes, the Lakers were still 6 points behind their opponents. At this time, the Lakers No. 24, who had rested for most of the quarter, began to stand up.He first forcibly singled Westbrook to score one-on-one, and then defended Durant on the defensive end, turned around and leaned back again.All of a sudden, the score difference was only 2 points.

Fortunately for the Thunder, Durant came out to continue his life and hit a three-pointer, widening the score to 5 points again.

Kobe missed the shot, Tang Qian flew the rebound, and then let Gasol get it. The height advantage of the twin towers is directly displayed from here.Gasol is not Thackeray, he is also an existence that can rebound 10+ all year round.Even in the next few years, if the age is over 35, it will still be 16+11+4+2, and the data is all-around powerful.He and Tang Qian last season can make any inside combination in the league uncomfortable, let alone this season? ? ?

Tang Qian with 21+ rebounds and Gasol who still has 10+~11+ rebounds can suppress the Thunder's rebounds, which is a matter of course and a reasonable thing.Otherwise, do you think that Ibaka with nearly 9+ rebounds and Steven Adams with 4+ rebounds can pose any threat to Tang Qian + Gasol's rebounds? ? ?
With the guarantee of rebounds at critical moments, Kobe played more relaxed and confident. His key shots this season were abnormal.

In contrast, the Thunder panicked a lot. Besides, they had never had a good time playing key shots.

Even if there is Durant, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot save the overall situation.

And he wants to compete with Kobe Bryant this season for the balloon key ball, which is really too far away.

It was almost the same ending mode as the previous game. Durant made 4 of 1 shots at the last moment, Kobe made 4 of 3 shots, Mr. Key singled out, and the curtain came to an end.The key man of the Lakers crushed the key man of the Thunder. No. 24 made a post-up jumper at the end, and with a gorgeous and graceful shot, he quasi-killed the Thunder.

The Thunder missed the offense in the last 7 seconds, Durant was stalked to death by Kobe, and the basketball could only be shot by Russell Westbrook.

Compared with Durant, he is much less threatening, and his shooting skills are not of the same order.

About 31% of the three-pointers are Westbrook's approximate three-pointers this season. Not to mention it is particularly ugly, but it is definitely not so good-looking.The basketball hit the iron and the basket collapsed, and the Lakers finally narrowly beat the Oklahoma City Thunder by 2 points.

Continue to improve his winning streak to 18 consecutive victories.

After the game, Durant was so angry that he didn't attend the press conference, but Kobe was in a good mood and said:

Congratulations to my brother Pau Gasol for his official return!Becoming second in the West is not the end, it's just the beginning.

It's just the beginning.

For other teams in the alliance, just wait and see.

The Lakers are now ranked second in the West, 3.5 games away from the No. [-] Spurs in the West.
