Legendary basketball manager

At this time, the starters of both sides have already walked to the center of the court, ready to jump the ball.

Little Gasol silently walked in front of Yao Ming, looking at the latter with vigilance.

Since landing in the NBA, his career has progressed very well.

When he first arrived, Xiaojia quickly became the starting center of the Grizzlies, and now no one can compete with him for this position.

And this year is his third season.

This season, Xiaojia averaged 11.7 points, 7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Of course, the data does not fully reflect his value.

Gasol Jr. is tall and has long arms, and his basic skills on both offense and defense are very solid.

On the offensive end, he can not only play back in the low post, but also improve the high post to open up space for the "black bear" - Zach Randolph.

Moreover, Xiaojia also has a beautiful pass.

With great imagination and creativity, he made up for the lack of organization of the starting point guard Conley to a large extent.

On the defensive end, Xiaojia can use his super long wingspan and excellent position selection to protect the Grizzlies' basket.

Since Randolph basically has no ability to assist in defense, Xiaojia can be said to have supported the team's inside defense on his own!

But having said all that, he's still just a 25-year-old who just played two years in the NBA.

Seeing Yao Ming standing in front of him, Xiaojia inevitably felt nervous.

On the other side, Rudy Gay looked at George with burning eyes.

His eyes were complicated, showing envy, jealousy, and unwillingness.

In 2006, Gay was selected by the Rockets with the 1th pick in the first round, but he was sent to the Grizzlies without playing a game.

Memphis can be regarded as a place of bitter cold in the beautiful country. Francis, the famous Rockets back then, once rejected the Grizzlies in the draft.

After that, Gay's data has been rising year by year (the second season averaged over 20 points per game), and he has gradually become the leader of the new generation of strikers in the league.

Originally, he had already let go of the Rockets giving up on him. He only thought that the Rockets had no eyes and did not see his value.

But this year, the appearance of George made Guy feel unwilling again.

[Why did he have the opportunity to be trained by the Rockets, but I was sold off without even proving myself? ]

Guy and George are both very close in height and wingspan, and both have top-notch athletic talents.

If there is no in-depth research, it will indeed give people the illusion that the two people have similar abilities, but their encounters are different.

But is this really the case?

............

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming and Xiao Jia took off at the same time.

The former relaxed the ape's arms and won the jump ball smoothly.

After playing so many games this season, this is the first time Dayao has encountered someone who is not as good as him in jumping.

The rocket strikes first!

Lawson took the ball through half court and started to organize the offense.

In the first round, as usual, he handed the ball to Yao Ming who was injured in the low post.

After Dayao got the ball, he started back hitting.

At this time, Xiaojia is still relatively young, but his defensive ability is already very good.

Yao Ming found it difficult to get close to the basket after some hard work, so he had to turn over and shoot a jumper.

Xiaojia strode forward, took off vigorously, and tried to block the shot.

Helpless, Dayao, who is so big, actually used a fadeaway jumper to make a shot.

Gasol tried his best, but he could only reach the position of his wrist.

"Shu~"

The basketball hits the net crisply.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Conley organizes the offense.

Rudy Gay got stuck in the 45° elbow and immediately opened his hands for the ball.

Conley hit the ground, passed the ball, and then ran to the other side of the court to give Gay plenty of room to attack.

"I heard that you defend well?"

Guy asked with a smile, with obvious disdain in his tone.

"Okay."

George was noncommittal.

"Then I want to see what you are capable of!"

Saying that, Guy moved.

He first hit twice with force, then turned around suddenly, pressed George half his body with his shoulders, and rushed towards the inside.

But with Yao Ming at the basket, Gay knew he couldn't force his way.

Therefore, after coming to the edge of the penalty area, he chose to stop the jumper as the end.

However, when Guy shot with confidence, a big hand appeared in his sight.

It was George who came!

His fingertips touched Gay's shot and he blocked the shot.

Moreover, the ball did not fly very far due to the point risk.

George took off for the second time, controlled the ball, and launched a counterattack,

After coming to the Grizzlies halftime, he found his high-speed follow-up teammate - Lawson, and helped the latter make a layup.

4:0, the Rockets expanded their advantage.

In the next round, Guy did not give up and chose singles again.

The difference from the last time is that this time the frontal attack with the ball is adopted.

But in this way, Gay's advantage over George's strength will no longer be able to be used.

I saw him dribbling the ball under the crotch like a butterfly piercing flowers, but he still couldn't get rid of Pickle's defense.

On the contrary, George kept reaching out to interfere with Gay's dribble.

Although it did not directly form a steal, it also caused the latter to lose the offensive rhythm.

Soon Gay was cornered with little time left on the shot.

In desperation, he could only choose to force his shot...

"Duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out of the frame.

Yao Ming took off the rebound, and the Rockets launched a counterattack again.

Gay watched the opponent run towards his own half, ran away, and immediately returned to the defense.

But in the process of running, he couldn't help thinking:

"Isn't this Paul George just a younger version of me with better defense?!"
