Chapter 445: Only Half Time
“…… Superheating? ”
The game has begun, and after the Kings opened, they really continued the fiery offensive momentum that had been in place for most of the previous season. All the players run, cut, pass, and make all kinds of cooperation without stopping the ball, and the basketball keeps piercing the Jazz basket like rain.
Again and again wonderful offensive coordination, the Kings came up with a surprising offensive tacit understanding. Although they know that the Kings have been at the top of the scoring list for two consecutive seasons, the home fans can't help but feel the urge to switch when they see the King's dazzling offensive performance.
You know, Salt Lake City's home stadium is one of the most terrifying devil's homes in the league, and the fanaticism of the fans, the thirst for victory, and the loud boos of the visiting players are famous in the entire NBA league, nay, in all the sports leagues in the whole of North America.
Even such Salt Lake City fans were moved by the Kings' offensive frenzy, which is enough to see how good the Kings' offense is.
“…… The Jazz missed another shot, Cousins picked up the rebound, and the Kings fought back!! ”
Even the on-site commentary at home level, at the moment when the Kings won the rebound and all the players started to rush to counterattack, they couldn't help but raise their voices and shouted excitedly. The contagious nature of the Kings' offense is evident.
"Tyrek Evans! The dribble advances, the speed is not very fast, but the ball feeling is really amazing! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
Evans is a fish in water, although he didn't start his career with a reputation for passing assists and leading his teammates to scoring. But after more than two seasons of transformation, Evans has become more and more comfortable with his new role, with a good vision, passing skills, and a good inside passer like Cousins as a partner, Evans has become more and more fluent when organizing the attack.
"Bang bang!"
"Butterflies wear flowers!!"
With a beautiful crotch dribble, Evans's figure turned, as if he instantly turned into a ghost, flashing in front of the defender.
The next moment
“…… Sou!! ”
One-handed back pass!
“…… The flanks are cousins! My cousin catches the ball!! ”
“…… ooooo! ”
As soon as Gu Yu received the ball, many of the Salt Lake City fans at the scene stood up directly from their seats, staring at the arena with their eyes, watching every movement of Gu Yu, for fear that they would miss the graceful offensive moment in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yu's influence on the court has reached this level!
"Will you go head-to-head?!! Since the opening, my cousin Gu Yu, who has been breaking the records of major stadiums in the league, has not performed even one heads-up performance! ”
Will it be heads-up???
The doubts of the commentators are also the doubts in the hearts of the fans at the scene.
To be honest, although the fans at the scene are basically Jazz fans, if you ask them which team they support, everyone will answer "Jazz" in unison!
But among the fans who came to the stadium today, there are actually many people who do not have much confidence in this Jazz team that is still in the rebuilding period and does not seem to have any hope of making any waves in the league for the time being. The reason why people come to watch the game is, of course, to see the wonderful performance of their home team.
But on the other hand, they are also looking forward to one thing.
“…… Tentative step!! ”
Looking forward to Gu Yu's heads-up ......!
"It's coming......!!"
Gu Yu held the ball for a moment, and pointed out a tentative step on the spot, and thirty percent of the fans on the scene were instantly high.
Today's game is very strange, Gu Yu is such a heads-up scoring demon, and he didn't even have a heads-up when the game was almost halfway.
What's more, Gu Yu not only didn't go head-to-head, but he didn't even shoot even once the fairy ball that he would sacrifice from time to time on weekdays, which was "completely unreasonable and thrown indiscriminately".
Although the Jazz team definitely doesn't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame, and they don't want the stadium scoring record to be broken above their heads, so on the defensive end, Gu Yu's "care" is very "thoughtful".
But who is Gu Yu? Someone who averaged 35 points per game in the NBA! The Jazz's defense, what can he do?
If he really wants to play, how can the Jazz players stop him? Whether you score a goal or not, it's not just a matter of how he feels?
So, it's weird.
All the players, the fans, the whole world is watching the TV, the computer, the mobile phone screen, the spectators watching the game
I think it's weird.
But now, it seemed that Gu Yu was about to start a heads-up, and the fans instantly became excited, and they stood up from their seats one by one, just about to applaud Gu Yu.
“…… Sou! ”
“…… Pass the ball! ”
…… What the?!
After Gu Yu tentatively clicked on the space, he was about to make a light-speed shot. But in the next second, a figure flashed on the side of the afterglow, and Gu Yu did not hesitate to send a back pass.
"The inside line cuts into...... Thompson! The catch went down, the rhythm was good, the defense didn't come up, and the take-off ...... baaaaaaaaaaam!! Bombing the Basket !! ”
“yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!”
The players on the Kings bench, seeing that Thompson, who has the weakest attack power on the court, can also complete such a wonderful flying dunk, they are all hilarious. When he went back to defense, Gu Yu, who was high-fived Thompson, saw that many Kings players on the bench were imitating Thompson's dunk action and laughed.
“…… Alas. ”
In the stands, Jazz fans who had been waiting for a long time were stunned, and then sighed.
Hearing the sighs of other people around them, Jazz fans looked around and found that they were not the only Salt Lake City people who were looking forward to Gu Yu's crazy score in singles, they were a little embarrassed all of a sudden, and they had a feeling of secretly doing bad things to find their comrades, they tacitly understood each other, nodded to each other's eyes, and sat down.
It stands to reason that being so dunked by a visiting player shouldn't be the Jazz's home court.
Flying and dunking is the most offensive way to boost morale and hit the opponent's psychology in the NBA. Ordinary fans should hide their faces and shake their heads, slap their chairs angrily, and scold loudly when they see this kind of scene.
And the Salt Lake City fans, most of whom are old fritters, know that this is the time when the fans should step up and help the demoralized home team players regain their confidence. So at this moment, the most important thing for everyone to do is to cheer for the home team, tell them not to be discouraged, and at the same time boo the away players.
But right now, the Salt Lake City fans are not the slightest bit resistant to the visitors' actions, and judging by their expressions and body language, there is even a little ......
A little pity.
Oh, yes.
Gu Yu, an away madman, has scored 50+ points seven times this season, including 60 points against Philadelphia, all of which were won on the road.
So when Gu Yu came to a city and wanted to play an away game, did the fans in this city not expect Gu Yu to contribute an amazing performance and win fifty or sixty points?
Obviously unrealistic.
So at this time, nearly half of the game has passed, and Gu Yu has not yet started his away racing mode, and the frustration of the fans in Salt Lake City is naturally not difficult to understand.
"Alas...... What's going on! ”
The game continued, whether it was offensive or defensive, Gu Yu played very teamly. Even more effort is spent on the defensive end, and it seems that the physical energy saved on the offensive end is put on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, Gu Yu didn't make a single reluctant shot, he didn't shoot if he didn't have a big vacancy, and his teammates passed the ball directly when they had the opportunity, without the slightest hesitation.
The only time I saw a slight flame in his eyes that he wanted to kill by himself was the moment when he held the ball and clicked out the tentative step.
So far, Gu Yu has only scored 7 points on 3-of-5 shooting, no free throws, a three-pointer, and on the offensive end, he is completely in the state of a role player.
"What's wrong with my cousin today? Why not go single! ”
In the stands, some fans quit, although the game cannot be said to have lost suspense, the Jazz team is only about ten points behind, to chase, there is still hope.
But everyone came to see you Gu Yu score like hemp, and he overturned the whole team on the opposite side alone! You can't score points now, what's the difference between you and salted fish?
Just like Kobe Bryant, who led the team alone at his peak, whether home or away fans, when they entered the court, they had already thought about it in their hearts, looking forward to seeing Kobe Bryant's wonderful performance with a high score and a stunner to take away the game.
Just imagine, when you entered the court that season, you found that Kobe Bryant lacked interest, played soy sauce all over the court, and the defense was good, but in the end you only scored a dozen points, and your heart must be a little uncomfortable.
"That said, what is my cousin doing? Does it mean that our Jazz team is not qualified? Not enough for him to shoot, and the team can win?? ”
"Eh, you must be thinking too much, what personality does your cousin have, you don't know? He is the kind of person who hangs his life on his neck as soon as he gets on the field, and there can be no slackness! ”
"Yes, yes, it's definitely not my cousin's problem, it's probably the King's Coach's request!"
Definitely!
These fans, if you ask him directly, he will definitely not say that he is Gu Yu's fan, and will even shake his head and wave his hand again and again with a very disdainful look, asking you to go away.
But whether they have been fans of Gu Yu's strength or not, I'm afraid only they know.
“…… Beep beep! ”
Half time is over!
"Not bad, not bad! Keep up the good work in the second half! ”
At halftime, the Kings led by 12 points at 63-51 and looked like they were going to play another game close to 120 points.
"What a little ghost!"
Westphale was naturally very satisfied, but when he stepped forward, he did not encourage Cousins, who scored the most, or Evans, who had the most assists, but walked straight to Gu Yu and patted Gu Yu's shoulder with a smile.
“…… Finally got through it. ”
Gu Yu nodded, walked to the sidelines, drank a drink, and walked to the players' tunnel with a towel to wipe his sweat.
"Cousin! When will it erupt?! We've been waiting so hard!! ”
Walking into the passageway, there was also the shouting of Jazz fans behind him.
Gu Yu turned his head sideways, looked at Westfahr beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "In the second half, it's okay......?" ”
"Hmm."
Westphal nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, but I suggest that you can take a look at your data ...... first!" ”
