Vol 4 Chapter 1226: History is always surprisingly similar

Embiid played Holleti with a screen in the frontcourt. After dismantling, he took Holleti back to pass the ball and hit a large two points.
Can post, can shoot from the penalty area to the three-point line, also has a first-hand response, plus excellent defense.
After the NBA ushered in the era of small balls, centers, especially all-around centers, basically disappeared.
Embiid can be said to be the rarest and best in active service.
22 to 14, the Mavericks still hold an 8-point lead.
"Defense! Defense!"
Also cheered the Dallas Cowboys again.
Pelicans have the intention to start, Embiid's middle distance is very important.
The cheers of the fans, the Mavericks played iron bucket defense.
More than half of the offensive time, the Pelicans did not fight continuously.
Tang Tian held the ball at the top of the arc, indicating Gasol mentioned the free throw line pick-and-roll.
Gasol was big enough, and Tang Tian accelerated to break through Embiid after it was taken apart.
The Mavericks contracted inwards, and Embiid blocked from behind.
Tang Tian's penetration into the three-second zone has been heavily entrapped, and there is no chance of getting out of the phone.
But he noticed Gasol when he broke through.
Gasol saw Embiid's defensive dynamics after breaking the ball. Instead of waiting at the three-point line, he also followed in.
He passed the ball behind a beautiful man who didn't look at him. The ball was given to Gasol who had just reached the free throw line.
This is Gasol's attack distance.
A perfect fit.
However, the Mavericks' defensive ability and awareness are really strong, Powell actually defended Gasol!
Opportunity is fleeting, Gasol did not force shot or singles, but directly threw the ball to the right.
A round similar to the previous one, Davis was empty again!
But Embiid helped defend Davis again!
Mavericks played the top defense this round!
Not to mention the offense, their core lineup played together for two years, this tacit understanding of the defensive end!
Davis's mobile phone is not good, but he is passing the ball to the middle.
Gasol continued to move after passing the ball, then cut to the rim!
Embiid was too late to defend, Powell chose to stop the foul, but did not hold back!
"Beep!"
The referee whistle.
Gasol scored the buzzer and also caused Powell's foul!
2 + 1!
A beautiful goal!
Gasol waved his fist after scoring a goal.
This is the first goal of his Pelican career!
The Pelicans' bench was boiling.
The ball that assisted Davis in front, to this 2 + 1, perfectly shows Gasol's playing style.
Although he is 2.16 meters big, but he is really flexible, and he likes to move.
Cut in, pass, cut in again, this kind of play is really rare in the center.
He is not yet familiar with the Pelicans' tactics. He is playing instinctively, but this instinct is very imba!
Tang Tian also raised his hand and touched Gasol's head to show encouragement.
Embiid is the best in active service, but not the only one.
The last best all-around center is Gasol.
Gasolga made a free throw to help the Pelicans reduce the point difference to 5 points.
Embiid also scored in the frontcourt, but he was interrupted by Gasol when he shot, and the turned shot did not enter.
Compared with Harrell, Gasol's trouble for Embiid was significantly greater. Embiid couldn't want to play like the previous one.
The Mavericks can take advantage of Embiid's inside advantage, or dominance.
But now that the dominance is gone, the Pelicans quickly catch up and overtake the score.
In the end, the Pelicans first lost and then won, defeating the Mavericks 103 to 93 on the road, the third time in the season.
On the Mavericks side, Holiday scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Conley had 17 points and 10 assists, and Harris had 14 points.
Embiid scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, but he only hit 6 goals in 18 shots. Both the data and efficiency are far less than the previous performance.
Gasol's defense is indispensable.
On the Pelicans side, Tang Tian only had 43 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, Davis had 21 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, and Siakam had 13 points and 4 rebounds.
Gasol played 28 minutes off the bench in the Pelicans' first game, scoring 7 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on 2 of 7 shots.
Although the data does not look very conspicuous, the post-match press conference, whether coach Stevens or Tang Tian, ​​praised him.
"His defense against Embiid is the key to our win tonight, he changed the situation on the court."
Stevens knows the ball after all, otherwise he would not give Gasol so much playing time in the first game.
"He is the smartest player I have seen playing."
Tang Tian is a word of praise.
"The data does not explain his contribution to the team. His off-ball movement is very aggressive. He can always stand at the best attack position on the court. He is constantly reading the game and making the best choice. "
Tang Tian really blew Gasol.
"Yes, this is only his first game. He has only been in the team for two days. We are looking forward to his performance."
Stevens also echoed.
After the game on social media, the evaluation of Gasol is more polarized.
Half of the fans think that Gasol has lost his courage. No matter what Stevens and Tang Tian said after the game, the data shows everything.
A center who played nearly 30 minutes and scored in single digits in rebounds was really difficult to match his big contract of more than 20 million.
The other half of the fans think that Stevens and Tang Tian said that they are in place. They have also seen the ball. Gasol's role is not just that point.
Because the defense will not have other statistics except blocks, the same is true for the movement without the ball.
Nobody on both sides could persuade anyone.
Two days later, the Pelicans flew to Boston to challenge the Celtics.
This year's All-Star Game is in Boston. This game also counts for the Pelicans to feel the All-Star atmosphere in advance.
The Celtics finally ushered in a revival after ushering in Walker last summer.
They are now ranked third in the east, second only to the Bucks and Raptors.
But compared with the Pelicans, their strength is still worse.
In the fourth quarter, the Pelicans eventually defeated the Celtics 112 to 96.
Walker scored 37 points ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Tang Tian still has only 44 points in the Pelicans.
Gasol was commissioned by Stevens in this game and played 31 minutes. He scored 12 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks on 4 of 12 shots.
Although the feel is still not very good, but as Stevens said, he is more and more integrated into the team, and his state has begun to recover.
Ended the game with the Celtics, and the Pelicans played against the Knicks and 76ers one after another.
Both teams are in a mess this season, and the Pelicans are also invulnerable.
Gasol's performance is better than one.
Against the Knicks, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Hit the 76ers, Tang Tian took a rest, he scored the first 20+ of the Pelicans career, 21 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.
As the game deepened, the comments on social media began to fall back to support Gasol.
And naturally, Gasol was compared with his brother Paul Gasol.
Then they found out that history is always surprisingly similar.
Gasol's joining is likely to be the most important puzzle for the Pelicans to complete four consecutive championships.
Just like Paul Gasol was to the Lakers.
