Togetherness Taking Hold as Los Angeles Lakers Travel to Great Wall of China
@@@
Now Gasol s knees feel stronger, he gets to operate from the post again, and D Antoni is talking about triple-doubles all over the place.
Remember the night Howard bolted for ? It was Bryant and Gasol, with a caption about the sort of unity the Lakers have taken steps toward in the early days of the China trip.
For Gasol, if this is the season when he again fights back against his old reputation for being soft, you saw at the Great Wall some proof of his ability to surprise.
The NBA has chosen this [url=

Along that hike is an epic line of shopkeepers trying to sell knick-knacks and T-shirts and [url=

Gasol put his well-chronicled niceness aside and stood his ground in his negotiations. Who knew Gasol drove such a hard bargain?
Gasol did what few do there just walked away empty-handed when his prices weren t met. The woman vendor s broken-English bait-and-switch attempt to ask for more money for a cotton shirt vs. a nylon shirt went unfulfilled.
The critics will say that an overpaid Gasol can afford to buy the entire inventory of all the vendors there. But this will be a season to see if Gasol can again stand his ground while also creating the sort [url=

Gasol and Nash are known as two of the best teammates in basketball history: talented and productive, but always willing to share [url=

For the Lakers to have a [url=

They re going to have to defend as a unit, and they re going to have to work together to have one of the NBA s best offenses.
To do those things, they d better come back from China next week with more than a few photos and trinkets.
