Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 1184 Marc Gasol

Victory or defeat is commonplace for soldiers.

What's more, the Pelicans had just experienced a trade, and the new player Gasol hadn't even arrived yet.

So losing this game, and only by 2 points, the players weren't too frustrated.

After the game, Stevens only said some encouraging words to the players, then let them go back to their respective homes and mothers to get a good rest.

In the double overtime game, the Pelicans only had 2 centers available. In the second overtime, Robinson and Alexander both played.

He was already very satisfied with the way the Pelicans played.

Tang Tian also focused on taking care of Olsen.

Because the first child was a cesarean section, this second child could only be a cesarean section, which put a lot of pressure on Olsen.

Now that the baby was already 7 months old, Olsen had a lot of trouble moving around, and he had to be with her whenever he had time.

However, Olsen was also very understanding of Tang Tian, and rushed Tang Tian to the stadium early the next morning.

She knew that the team had just lost a game, and Tang Tian would habitually do extra training.

With a nanny taking care of her at home all day, Olsen said so, and Tang Tian went to the stadium early the next day.

He arrived at 6:30, which was already very early, but to his surprise, there were already two people in the training hall.

One was Alexander, covered in sweat.

Parker had praised Alexander very early on, and even said that Alexander's future achievements would definitely be higher than Murray's.

It should be known that Murray played very well for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 15+6+5.

Now it seems that although Alexander has not yet played such a performance, judging from this attitude, Parker's vision should not be wrong.

Alexander's appearance in the arena was not too surprising, but the other one surprised him.

Marc Gasol.

Yesterday, because he had not completed the physical examination, although he had arrived in New Orleans, he had not yet reported to the team.

Unexpectedly, he came to train so early!

And looking at his clothes, which were wetter than Alexander's, he should… have more developed sweat glands.

Seeing Tang Tian coming, Alexander was a little nervous, but Gasol took the initiative to come over and say hello to Tang Tian.

The two had never been teammates before, but they had actually played against each other many times.

Not to mention the NBA arena, before the Pelicans won the championship, the Grizzlies eliminated the Pelicans, and the Pelicans avenged the Grizzlies. The two teams were once rivals.

Of course, there were also international competitions.

Tang Tian led the weak Chinese men's basketball team to win against Spain at the London Olympics, which was quite unforgettable for Gasol.

Now that the two have become teammates, there will naturally be no shortage of topics.

Gasol's physique and experience are very similar to Jokic.

Both are European big white bears, and they were fat before entering the NBA, and even entered the NBA with very low draft picks.

But after entering the NBA, they both successfully lost weight and then made a name for themselves.

However, Gasol is a senior, and in terms of personality, he is completely different from Jokic.

Although not as talkative as Bogdan, Gasol is outgoing, which is not related to Jokic's shyness.

"I'm 120% looking forward to the next game."

Gasol couldn't hide his excitement.

His excitement was justified.

Brothers have a natural sense of dependence and longing for their older brother.

It was also a coincidence that when the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol was one of the bargaining chips.

Pau Gasol achieved nothing with the Grizzlies until he left Memphis for Los Angeles, where he completed two consecutive championships with Kobe and made a big turnaround.

Now the same situation has appeared on Marc Gasol.

Although he has entered the playoffs many times with the Grizzlies, he has generally achieved nothing.

Now, at the end of his career, the Grizzlies are tanking, and his future is even more bleak.

But now, although he is a little late, he has come to a championship favorite team like Pau Gasol.

His NBA career may change because of this!

Moreover, Tang Tian also learned some details of the trade deadline during the chat.

The Grizzlies have been insisting on asking for Kuzma, otherwise they would not send Gasol to the Pelicans.

And the Raptors have also increased their pursuit, adding two second-round picks to the original one.

This is completely worthwhile. One second-round pick is not enough for the Raptors to make a qualitative change, and they can add more.

The Grizzlies have also basically decided to send Gasol to the Raptors.

But Gasol contacted the Grizzlies after learning about it, saying that he hoped to go to the Pelicans.

Gasol had played for the Grizzlies for his entire career before, and he had made great contributions to the team as a cornerstone.

He didn't even take the initiative to ask for a trade when the team was tanking, and he didn't make a fuss when the team wanted to trade him.

So the Grizzlies management would not refuse this simple request.

It was after this that the Grizzlies changed their minds and finally sent Gasol to the Pelicans.

After hearing the story, Tang Tian had more recognition of Gasol.

Going to the Raptors is the same, but what is different from history is that Leonard did not go, and if Gasol really goes now, the data will definitely be better than in history.

It should be known that in history, after Gasol went to the Raptors, his average score changed from 15.7 points and 8.6 rebounds to 9.1 points and 6.6 rebounds.

If it weren't for him having a player option, and the Raptors finally won the championship, he would definitely become a trash contract.

But in the current situation, he also has this risk in going to the Pelicans.

In other words, Gasol chose the Pelicans to really go for the championship, and it was the kind that would either succeed or die.

They trained for a while, and other teammates came one after another.

Stevens was also a little surprised when he saw Gasol, but since he came, he arranged to train together.

There was no full court arrangement today, just some basic and half court confrontation training.

Gasol was initially practicing with Robinson, but he couldn't practice after a while.

Robinson loves to jump too much, and his confrontation is not good at all. He is completely beaten, and there is no meaning to training at all.

In the end, Robinson was replaced by Harrell.

The two confronted each other in various ways during training. The sound of muscle collision was mixed with shouts, which made the other teammates feel a burst of pain.

Gasol is a European big white bear, but he is really tough when training.

Harrell is tough enough, but after the training, he also looks exhausted.

On the other hand, Gasol looked like he hadn't had enough.

Tang Tian went over and asked him how he felt.

"What I just did can only be called a warm-up."

Gasol looked like he was pretending.

But he was telling the truth. When he was in the national team, he and Pau Gasol were like fighting on the training ground.

When playing international games, teammate Rubio once said that the Gasol brothers were the fiercest players he had ever seen during training, like拼命 [pīnmìng] (risking their lives).

Tang Tian laughed after listening.

This is in line with what Gasol said earlier.

Gasol is white, and his playing style is very elegant, but whether on or off the court, he has always been tough.
