Tony Allen started out as a Celtic, and then became more famous in the Grizzlies. Although he was 34 years old, his defensive ability was not obviously deteriorating. At this moment, he calmed down his center of gravity and looked straight at Tang Shuai. Although he was defending, he felt a sense of aggression.

This is not the first time that Tang Shuai has fought with Tony Allen. When he fought last season, he finally gained a advantage by consuming Allen's physical strength, but today the situation is a bit different.

He caught a severe cold, and when it came to exhausting his energy, maybe he would finally fall down.

“Defn color!”

The fans at the scene, led by DJ, made a neat shout.

After Tang Shuai had a breath of heat, he lowered the center of gravity and suddenly changed his mind and broke through the right.

Allen's defensive consciousness was first-class and he retreated almost simultaneously with Tang Shuai. Tang Shuai changed his gaze to the left again. Although he was slower, his victory was in judgment and still occupied an advantageous defensive position.

Tang Shuai wanted to change direction to the right, but soon felt a slight swelling. After catching a severe cold, he felt exhausted after exerting too much force.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, just as Tang Shuai felt that his body could not keep up with the rhythm, Allen reacted quickly and suddenly broke the ball in his hand.

The fans at the scene were cheering.

Allen quickly launched a fast break after intercepting the ball.

The Lakers teammates didn't seem to have expected that Tang Shuai would be cut off like this, and they didn't react, watching Allen attack quickly to the backcourt.

After Allen arrived at the backcourt, he turned around and saw that no one was chasing him. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he was almost at the basket, he jumped up, raised the ball with his right hand over his head, and pressed the ball hard into the basket with one hand.

"Oh huh! One-handed buckle, Tony!" Anderson shouted loudly.

The fans were also filled with surprise and cheers. Tony Allen was not known for his physical fitness, but he had a one-handed slash at the beginning of the game, which was both surprised and happy.

Allen debuted as a Celtic and had a lot of experience in controlling the atmosphere. After dunking, he waved to the audience while retreating back to prevent. The cheers now covered the waves with his hands up and down.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath, cleared his head, and then retreated to halftime.

Barnes sent the ball, and he once again took the ball to the frontcourt. This time he chose to pass the ball to Gasol, the inside, to play singles.

The Grizzlies quickly chose to double-team, and Gasol gave the ball back to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai barely swept past Parsons' assisted defense with a step forward and pulled out his hand.

This ball was shot without any danger. Although my head was still dizzy, my muscle memory was still there, and I was shot into the net bag with a thrilling look while rubbing the basket.

He made 1 of 2 shots at the beginning, and under the severe cold, Tang Shuai was obviously not in good condition.

However, he himself did not expect that after playing for several more rounds, he felt that he was breathless. It was not because of insufficient physical reserves, but because of rapid physical energy consumption.

During an attack by the Lakers, Shuai Tang tried to get rid of Allen's defense, but in a blink of an eye, he actually transported the ball directly to his feet and bounced out of bounds.

The fans at the scene heard a burst of warm cheers.

"I said that although he is old, Tony's defense is definitely top-notch. He has defended countless top scorers. Tang is a very good player, but he is obviously not the best among them. Although he is currently the highest score per game in the league, it is more because the defense intensity he encountered is not large. Tony's defense is the real test of the scorer, and this is the real defense!" Anderson couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Tang's performance today is indeed a little struggling, and I don't know what happened to him today." Weber said with a puzzled look on his face.

The Grizzlies' offense, Conley broke through Tang Shuai after pick-and-roll, and Tang Shuai's feet were vague and almost tripped.

Conley scored a layup, and the score on the court became 14-6, and the Grizzlies led by 8 points.

Walton finally realized that Tang Shuai's severe cold was more serious than he had imagined, so he pointed to Clarkson behind him and asked him to take the field to replace Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai was sweating profusely and walked to the sidelines with gritted teeth. If he hadn't been persisting with his willpower, he would have probably lie down right now.

His severe cold was far beyond his expectations and the team doctor. If he had known this was the case, he would have chosen to make a quit in this game.

When he walked to the sidelines, he almost fainted after falling down.

The team doctor came over quickly to cover him with a blanket, and then asked about his condition.

The breath Tang Shuai exhaled was hot. After the team doctor wiped his sweat with a wet towel, he suggested that he should not play in the next game.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Gasol shook Nol and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand, then yelled at the fans on the scene.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Let me try it again. If it really doesn't work, I'll take a rest."

"Tang, this is my suggestion as a team doctor. If you force yourself to persevere, you may faint on the court." The team doctor said.

"Hunt, you..." Tang Shuai originally wanted to let the team doctor see if there was any special medicine he used when he played against the Warriors last season, but as soon as he said it, he realized that he was no longer the Clippers.

"Hmm?" The team doctor looked at him in confusion.

"I'll watch it all the time on the sidelines." Tang Shuai said. Even if he really couldn't stand it, he would sit on the sidelines until the end of the game.

The team doctor saw that he insisted repeatedly and didn't say anything else. He took out some antipyretics and gave them to him, and then sat back to his position.

After taking the medicine, Tang Shuai asked the staff behind him for a few blankets and wrapped himself tightly.

It is said that sweating after catching a cold is the most effective. He just started exercising and only hopes that this method can help him recover.

The game on the court was still going on fiercely. The Lakers players played very hard, but without Tang Shuai, they could only rely on Gasol on the offensive end. At the beginning, Gasol was very efficient and led the team to bite the score. However, as the game deepened, the Lakers gradually showed disadvantages on the court.

After Parsons made a long three-pointer, the Grizzlies have already led by as much as 12 points with 30-18 points.

"Chandler~~Parsons!!"

DJ at the scene shouted Parsons' name loudly.

Walton looked back at Tang Shuai, turned around and called the team doctor over. After some exchange, he frowned tightly.

The effect of sweating is not ideal, and Tang Shuai still feels dizzy and even feels a little sleepy. It seems that the medicine has been effective.

Just in a daze, he saw Wang Zhelin playing at regular time as he said, but perhaps he was nervous. After coming up, he committed two fouls, and he was replaced again after a long time.

Walton did not arrange for Tang Shuai to play in the first half. The Grizzlies firmly took the initiative on the field. By the end of the half, they had already led by 18 points 55-37.

The person who contributed the most was Allen. Although he did not play for a long time, he restricted Tang Shuai at the beginning and then locked Clarkson, almost paralyzing the entire Lakers' outside offense.

Without Tang Shuai's restraint, players like Barnes and Batum who are not good at independent attacks are also quite struggling. One is 1 of 6 shots, and the other is 2 of 7 shots, and it is also 50 steps to laugh at a hundred steps.

"Tony~~Allen!!"

DJ at the scene shouted Tony Allen's name over and over again, and Anderson kept praising him. Allen used his outstanding performance to erect a wall of iron for Memphis.

In the whole first half, except Gasol scored 10 points, no one else scored and went into double digits, and his performance was quite bleak.

In the midfield, after Walton emphasized the tactics with the players, he originally planned to let Tang Shuai go back first, but after Tang Shuai's repeated insistence, he still agreed to let him continue to stay on the court.

When he came back in the second half, Gasol recovered a lot of energy after halftime break, and came up to lead the team to launch a counterattack, reducing the score from 18 points to 12 points.

The Lakers' bench was excited.

After Gasol pressed Randolph and hit another hook, Tang Shuai also stood up from his seat and shook the blanket in his hand vigorously.

After taking a nap in the midfield for a while, after waking up the effects of the medicine, he sweated again. He felt that his mental state was much better.

The goal of Gasol directly stopped the Grizzlies, and Fitzdale called for a short timeout.

"Paul, you're doing a pretty job!" When Gasol came out, Tang Shuai went up and slapped him directly.

“let’!”

After the suspension, the Grizzlies fans at the scene cheered for the home team in unison.

David Fitzdale is a very capable coach. After calling this time-lapse, he adjusted his tactics.

He began to let the guards hit the inside to cause damage, but on the defensive end, he did not use 3-2 joint defense (3 players at the basket and 2 people on the outside) to shrink the defense like an ordinary coach. Instead, he went the other way, using 2-3 joint defense (2 players at the basket and 3 people on the outside) to let Gasol guard the basket and forcefully oppress the Lakers' outside ball holder. It was not to defend Gasol, but to cut off his teammates' chance to pass the ball.

This creative style of pinching the source played unexpectedly, especially with Tony Allen, the defensive vanguard, Clarkson was forced to make two consecutive mistakes.

The Grizzlies took advantage of the situation to play, Tony Allen cut off Batum's pass, and scored a layup by one person with a fast break, which attracted another burst of excitement from the audience.

After a 6-0 offensive wave, the score difference was once again widened to 18 points.

"Tony can compete with Kawhi Leonard for the best defensive player this season, and the league owes him a best defensive player!" After Allen's amazing performance now, Anderson has completely lost control of his emotions.

Walton had to call another timeout. If the offensive problem on the outside line cannot be solved, the game will probably have to be explained in three quarters.
Chapter completed!
