499: A pseudo-strong team with ten consecutive wins?(1/2)
Pau Gasol was the second most drafted international player after Yao Ming at the time.
Before him, the buyout fee paid by NBA teams for European players was only 200,000 to 300,000.
The Grizzlies' release fee to Barcelona that year was as high as 2.2 million, which directly set a record for the release fee and doubled tenfold.
2.2 million, just to invite a beauty to come out!
It wasn’t just 2.2 million. In order to acquire Gasol, the Grizzlies did not hesitate to send Raheem, the first player in the NBA at the time.
My sister-in-law lived up to expectations, scoring 27 points in her NBA debut and winning the Rookie of the Year award in her rookie season.
However, who would have thought that my sister-in-law would be at her peak right after her debut.
After his amazing rookie season, Gasso's performance as a team leader was somewhat embarrassing.
He led the team to the playoffs, but never won a game...
That's right, it's not that I haven't won a round, I haven't won a game!
Whenever my sister-in-law participates in the playoffs, the Grizzlies are swept.
Although McGrady has not won the series against Li Ang, he has won one or two games at least.
Because of his impressive performance in the playoffs, Gasso was gradually labeled as gay to ridicule his soft style of play. Even Grizzlies fans began to mock him in this way.
At first, I called her Xiao Tiantian, but now I call her Gay.
Therefore, Gasuo, who was frustrated with Grizzly Bear, decided to leave.
He was traded to the Denver Nuggets a few days before the start of this season. Spain's strongest player teamed up with the legend of 54 points in the 2003 playoffs.
At first, people were not particularly optimistic about this pairing.
After all, Gasol is not a strongman like Garnett. Garnett teaming up with Kobe Bryant can have immediate results, but Gasol teaming up with Melo may not necessarily achieve results.
Regarding the Nuggets' record, the outside world also believes that there will definitely be improvement compared to last season, but it will not improve much.
Then Gasol and Angua slapped everyone in the face.
9 wins and 1 loss, second in the Western Conference, second only to the Clippers, who have won ten games.
This wave of the Nuggets' men's football team was beaten 12-0 in two games in the AFC Champions League - they secretly made a big mistake.
Anthony truly realized what it means to be delicious but nothing more than dumplings, and more fun than an old lady.
Whether a sister-in-law is good or not can only be known if she has had one.
Just like the monitor lizard, how will you know if you don't feel comfortable unless you try it?
For some people, you just need to pat her butt and she will know which position to change next.
And for some people, as soon as you look up, you will see them appear where you want them to appear.
Pau Gasol undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Gasol is simply the lubricant of the Nuggets' offense. With him, the Nuggets' offense has become much smoother.
Anthony felt that he began to believe in love again.
All I can say is that my sister-in-law has very high emotional intelligence and basketball IQ.
It's just the opposite of a double-low creature like Artest.
According to the original history, my sister-in-law got into the Lakers car in the middle of the season. As a result, my sister-in-law joined the team directly and seamlessly. From joining the team in early February to the end of February, the Lakers only lost one game in total, and she cooperated with Kobe.
There was an extremely tacit understanding.
With an experienced sister-in-law, there is no running-in problem at all. He can play all the tricks you want.
In this history, in the Nuggets, my sister-in-law also vividly demonstrated the properties of her snake oil.
The Nuggets, who only joined the Nuggets a few days before the start of the season, started a winning streak right from the start.
The presence of his sister-in-law not only improved the Nuggets' record, but also improved Angua's offensive efficiency.
Gasol is the kind of person who makes Angua willing to give the ball away.
Just like Kobe Bryant did back then, when Kobe was paired with O'Fatty, he would not willingly pass the ball to O'Fatty.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial seal is not as tight as the basketball in Kobe’s hand.
But after partnering with Gasol, Kobe was very willing to give up the ball.
Because he knows that Gasol will definitely pass the ball back to him at the right time and will not monopolize the ball.
The same goes for Anthony. He can score easily by moving without the ball, so why bother going one-on-one?
My sister-in-law said: Brother, don’t move when you attack, I will fully automate~
After Angua and his sister-in-law teamed up to achieve a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, the game against the Clippers was naturally very popular, and ESPN even temporarily changed it to a nationally broadcast game.
The day before the game started, Nuggets coach George Karl was very arrogant during an interview.
"Leon's most correct decision in his career was to leave Phoenix, because in a team like the Clippers, no one would blame him even if he failed. He chose an easier path."
George Karl always spoke mercilessly, and he and Angua had conflicts in the future. Although the two eventually parted ways, George Karl still sprayed Angua from time to time to relieve his boredom until he retired and was at home.
He is a ruthless coach. Neither Tomjanovich's politeness nor Popovich's pretend politeness will appear in George Karl.
George Karl has always been a fiery coach, and his personality has also affected the teams he coaches.
From the SuperSonics to the Bucks, from the Bucks to now the Nuggets.
George Karl's teams are always very fierce and brutal.
Dengleavy and Lu Zi were so choked that they didn't even dare to reply, but how could Li Ang be used to the bad habits of white gangsters:
"Sometimes I don't understand why a man who has never won a championship can be called a famous coach, and why a coach who has never won a championship can point fingers at the four-time champion?
Just because he lost by 54 points in the playoffs?"
Li Ang's behavior is like shaming some online writers for being short-tempered, and he has directly stepped on a pain point.
George Karl didn't like Li Ang when he was with the Bucks because Li Ang lacked respect for all the so-called famous coaches of the Mi Li family.
In fact, Li Ang knows how to respect people. He respects Carlisle very much, respects his retired master, and even respects Sloan. Even when Li Ang had a fierce fight with Karl Malone, he also respected the Jazz coach very much.
What Leon disrespects are guys like Popovich, George Karl and Larry Brown who think they are superior to others.
This time, George Karl was naturally very angry when he saw that Li Ang was rude to him again.
Damn it, just score 54 points every day.
What’s wrong with 54 points? There are still people who lose by 58 points!
Pao'er:???
When you quarrel, just have a good quarrel, can you not hurt innocent people!?
Before the game even started, the exchange of insults between George Karl and Leon caused tensions between the two teams.
As a result, at this time, the Zen master actually came to join in the fun.
Although this game has nothing to do with the Lakers, the Lakers are the center of the traffic after all. Therefore, some reporters asked Jackson in daily interviews after the Lakers training who he thought would win the game between the Nuggets and Clippers.
Zen Master said perfunctorily: "As for the basketball game, I think the winner should be between the Nuggets and Clippers."
What does it mean to be a world-class coach? Zen Master’s prediction can be said to be 100% correct!
reporter:......
The reporter said that if it wasn’t illegal to hit someone without the ball, I would have slapped you long ago!
This is the case with the Zen Master. When facing the media, he never likes to make stinky and long remarks like Jenny Buss' stockings.
Although he was very unhappy, it was a rare opportunity to interview a Zen master, so the reporter patiently continued to ask:
"So, how do you evaluate the Clippers' triangle offense? They are also a Los Angeles team and they also play a triangle offense. What do you think are the similarities and differences between the two teams' triangle offense?"
This is indeed a hot topic. The Clippers use the triangle offense to counter the Lakers' triangle offense. People also want to know who is more powerful.
However, this time, the Zen master didn't even say anything and just couldn't help laughing.
This kind of smile is not a friendly kind of smile, but has the flavor of ridicule.
"What are the similarities and differences? What we are playing is not the same thing at all. You seem to be asking, what are the similarities and differences between fake banknotes and real banknotes."
In the Zen master's view, his former disciple Dunleavy did not understand the triangle attack.
And just looking at these ten games, the Clippers' triangle offense is not playing well either.
Their tenth consecutive victory depends fundamentally on defense.
When it comes to the triangle offense, the Clippers are nothing.
The Clippers' triangle offense is simply insulting compared to their own.
After laughing, the Zen master turned around and left, ending the interview.
George Karl saw Master Zen's attitude towards the Clippers, and he became even more confident.
Do you see? Really capable coaches know that the Clippers are fake!
Their offense is not systematic at all, how can they beat the well-lubricated Nuggets?
