NBA super small ball center

Wang Lang left the training ground and returned to his room to rest.

He also opened the news to see what was happening today.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened it, he saw an interview with Gasol Jr. and Randolph.

Both men are the Grizzlies' interior core.

During the interview, Randolph was very amiable to the residents of Memphis, changing his previous image of a "drunken gold fan" to a good player who likes to take care of others.

And Gasol Jr. trains hard and wants to work hard for the Grizzlies to go far in the playoffs.

It's just a pity that the Grizzlies met the Warriors.

Whether it's intentional foul tactics or onslaught inside, the Grizzlies can't beat the Warriors, after all, the Grizzlies have too many tall players and much worse physical fitness than the Warriors, plus the Grizzlies have plummeted on the outside defense since Tony Allen's state declined, and there is no foundation for becoming a top team in the West.

Wang Lang has some sympathy for the current situation of the Grizzlies, but when he thinks of the later "Holy Gun Ranger" Morant, he feels that the current Grizzlies are not bad, at least there are not too many off-court problems.

The Grizzlies will be completely different in the future, although they are stronger, but there are too many off-court problems, which obviously affect their state when they play on the court.

It also makes the Grizzlies the most chaotic of the league's powerhouses.

After reading the news, Wang Lang watched other TV shows, such as the Grammy list, listened to the songs, ate some of his favorite things, and fell asleep.

He slept soundly, and early the next morning, he got on a plane and went with the team to the home court of the Memphis Grizzlies.

As soon as he came here, Wang Lang saw a lot of Grizzlies fans.

The enthusiasm of these fans is not low, which is related to the popularity of "Black and White Bear".

Although the two did not achieve a very good record in the playoffs, they also played well, which made many fans more supportive of the Grizzlies and increased the popularity of the Grizzlies.

However, the Warriors and Grizzlies met in the playoffs last season, and the two sides also played each other fiercely.

This time, after seeing the Warriors, Grizzlies fans also shouted the slogan "Beat the Warriors".

However, in Wang Lang's view, this slogan has no effect, and even countermeasures.

He also felt the atmosphere on the road and the "enthusiasm" of the Grizzlies fans.

Under this pressure, Wang Lang felt that his free throw shooting percentage would be affected.

Fortunately, his free-throw shooting ability is not bad.

At the same time, Wang Lang saw Gasol Jr., a tall center forward who was extremely strong.

Gasol Jr. also sat there with a resolute expression, waving to the fans.

In addition, Wang Lang also saw Vince Carter.

The all-star veteran sat there with a calm face, as steady as Mount Tai.

He also saw the veteran Vince Carter, who is now very Buddhist, who doesn't care about winning or losing the game, doesn't care about his performance, and obeys the team's arrangement.

Before the game, A Smith in the live broadcast room was also chatting: "The current Grizzlies are a very embarrassing team, the core players are not young, and they need to change tactics and updates, but the new players have not grown up."

O'Neill smiled: "Their biggest problem is not these, but their style of play is behind the times, there are too many big players, and there are fitness problems.

A Smith asked again: "Do you think Gasol Jr. can defend against Wang Lang? I mean, when encountering a small-ball center like Wang Lang, will Gasol monopolize the rebounding ball

on the inside?" O'Neal shook his head: "Gasol Jr. is too slow, his pace can't keep up with Wang Lang, as long as Wang Lang shoots outside the three-point line, Gasol Jr. must defend on the outside, so that the rebounds on the inside can only be protected by Randolph."

"But Randolph's rebounding ability can also give the Grizzlies a certain amount of protection at that time, but Gasol Jr. is different, he will be blown up by Wang Lang with offense."

A Smith was skeptical: "Gasol Jr. is the guy who won the best defensive player, he really can't guard against Wang Lang

?" O'Neal asked rhetorically: "Didn't Howard get it? Guarded?"

A Smith laughed: "Friends, I suddenly found that my question is a bit redundant, let's enjoy the duel between the young center and the veteran center!".

The Grizzlies' home commentator first introduced the Warriors' starting lineup, Wang Lang still played off the bench, and then the commentator introduced the Grizzlies' starting lineup with a huge voice.

Center Gasol Jr., power forward Randolph, small forward Matt Barnes, scoring guard Tony Allen, point guard Conley.

Seeing these people, Wang Lang knew that the Grizzlies still wanted to use veterans who were good at defense in this game.

Wang Lang sat on the bench and wanted to see what the game would turn out of.

The game began, and the Grizzlies jumped the ball and attacked first.

Randolph asked for the ball inside and began to beat Green hard.

But under Green's defense, Randolph failed to score the first ball and was successfully blocked.

The Warriors also played a quick counterattack, with Curry passing Conley and making a three-pointer.

The first quarter of the game was also like going through the motions, with both sides playing their own basketball tactics.

The Grizzlies are mainly positional battles, attacking inside, constantly giving the ball to Randolph and Gasol Jr., allowing them to make fouls and score inside.

It's just that the efficiency of this kind of attack is not high, and there are often cases of iron striking.

And every time the Grizzlies hit the iron, it will bring a fast-break opportunity for the Warriors to score smoothly.

The Grizzlies can't keep up with the speed of the Warriors' counterattack because of the lack of speed of their interior players.

Only Conley can score for the Grizzlies.

The Warriors led by 10 points, 30-20 in the first quarter.

Among them, Curry scored 15 points and performed well.

Thompson also scored eight points, making two three-pointers and a layup.

In the second quarter, Kerr also replaced Wang Lang.

At this time, the Grizzlies' bench lineup also followed.

However, because Gasol Jr. went off the court in the 10th minute of the first quarter, he was able to play as a center on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter.

In addition to this, there are power forward Jeff Green, small forward Jermichael Green, scoring guard Vince Carter, and point guard Chalmers.

Seeing so many "Green" and Gasol Jr. on the court at the same time, Wang Lang guessed the Grizzlies' strategy to strengthen the interior offense and continue to make a fuss on the inside.

On the Warriors' side, in addition to Wang Lang, there are big forward Speights, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Barbossa, and point guard Livingston.

The interior of this lineup is not weak, but in terms of interior defense, Speights is indeed a little worse.

But with Wang Lang's help, Speights' weakness will not be too obvious.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Chalmers came to the front court with the ball.

Gasol Jr. immediately blocked him.

Wang Lang also chased after him.

Chalmers's outside shooting ability was average, and he didn't shoot directly, choosing to break through to the basket.

Wang Lang also made up for it, and together with Barbossa, blocked Chalmers's breakthrough route.

Chalmers immediately passed to Gasol Jr.

Gasol Jr. took the ball inside and immediately gave Wang Lang a strong confrontation.

Wang Lang also felt that the opponent was like a mountain, making it impossible for him to make defensive moves easily.

But Wang Lang did not choose to increase the confrontation, but jumped continuously, using the advantage of faster second jumps to block Gasol Jr.'s shooting space.

This trick worked.

Gasol Jr. threw on the inside, but was interfered by Wang Lang, and the ball smashed on the basket and popped up.

Wang Lang also took the rebound and passed it to Livingston.

Livingston immediately dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Warriors fought back across the board.
