Chapter 121: Little Ones, Daniel Gibson

Daniel Gibson is a native of Texan, his home is in Houston, and sometimes when he is teased or bullied by the older kids in the neighborhood, he will run home and cry to his mother, because he never fights back, so his mother nicknamed him "Crying Booby". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, the children who played with Gibson liked to call this short, thin and crying guy "Little Little".

But this little guy has been obsessed with the big guy's sport since he was a child - basketball!

As the youngest of four children of Cherrell and Byron Gibson, he learned from a young age to study hard and play hard. Since Gibson started playing basketball early and trained hard, he later became a scoring machine at Texas High School, scoring 3,102 points in Jesse Jones High School, setting a record for the total number of points scored by a player in that high school!

When he arrived in college, Gibson, who was 1.88 meters tall and weighed only 86kg, always looked so thin and weak in the muscle club group on the court, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, but in his first year at the University of Texas, he became the first rookie scoring champion in the history of the school! The following year, he set another all-time three-point shooting record. Gibson is smart and mature compared to his peers, possessing consistent shooting ability, and he, along with LaMarcus Aldridge, has taken the Longhorns to the elite quarterfinals!

The opponent in the quarterfinals was Louisiana State University led by "Big Baby" Glen Davis and the Bulls' inside spring man Tyrus Thomas, the game was unprecedentedly miserable, the two sides were entangled until the last moment, the Longhorns were three points behind, Gibson burst out, and quietly waited for his teammates' return pass in the top arc, a perfect arc, and the game was dragged into overtime!

A year ago, in the round of 16 against the University of Nevada, led by Cork Snyder, Gibson also had a chance to save the game, but unfortunately his three-pointer bounced off the basket, and this time, he seemed to have finally redeemed himself.

However, this time the story was even more ups and downs, even if Gibson hit a three-pointer that equalized, it didn't change the outcome of the defeat, and in overtime, Louisiana State University scored five straight points to end the game.

It was also Gibson's last college game, and after a sophomore year, Gibson finally chose to give up his studies and participate in the draft.

As a Texan living in Houston, Gibson wanted to join the Rockets the most. Playing for his hometown team is every NBA player's dream, and Gibson is certainly no exception, and growing up in Houston, he has always longed for such an opportunity. However, it has just experienced a full wounded soldier. After a season of nothing, the Rockets no longer have enough patience to develop new talents, and trading Rudy Gay for Sean Battier is a signal.

At this time, the rising Cavaliers extended an olive branch to Gibson, and Cleveland, who has been criticized for his scoring ability in the backcourt, is looking forward to getting a strong addition to the draft! Gibson was so impressed by the Cavaliers' thirst for talent that he would rather give up the chance to be drafted in the first round, resolutely turned down tryouts from other teams, and then joined the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 42nd overall pick in the second round on draft night!

In his rookie season, in the G6 key game against the Pistons, if he wins, he will enter the Finals, and if he loses, he will go to the Pistons' home court to grab 7, Gibson scored 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, scored 19 points alone, surpassed the 16 points of the Pistons team, and helped the Cavaliers of the James era reach the Finals for the first time!

In the New Orleans All-Star Game the following season, Cleveland Cavaliers sophomore guard Daniel Gibson scored 33 points on 11-of-19 three-point shooting and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Rookie Game.

"Because James is such a great player, I've always wanted the Cavaliers to come and play with him." When interviewed by reporters, Gibson said a little shyly, "I want to help him achieve that ultimate goal." ”

......

At the beginning of the second half of the game against the Clippers, the Cavaliers organized the starting point of the guard, from Mo Williams to Daniel Gibson! Williams, on the other hand, sat on the bench on the sidelines with an unhappy face.

"Daniel, your job in the second half is to organize the offense and shoot open threes, understand?" Before coming on the pitch, coach Scott put his arm around Gibson's shoulders and said.

At the beginning of the second half, the Clippers attacked first, and as soon as Griffin came up and played with Davis, it seemed that after this move was quite effective in the second quarter, the Clippers decided to continue this tactic in the second half!

But when Davis and Griffin were blocking and dismantling, Gibson, who was not tall but fast and flexible, immediately bypassed Griffin's block, bypassed from behind, and immediately reappeared next to Davis, while Yuan Shu tacitly followed Griffin to run inside, and after the failure of the blocking and dismantling, Davis still passed the ball into the air, because he felt that Griffin's aerial combat ability was enough to destroy everything!

But Yuan Shu, who has been promoted by the "Wild Growth Talisman", already has superstar-level attributes, and when Griffin jumps, he also jumps immediately, and then both sides touch Davis's pass with one hand in the air at the same time, forming a state of stalemate for a while!

Although Yuan Shu's strength is slightly superior, but Griffin, who is accustomed to empty and violent buckles, is more handy in such a hold, if Yuan Shu fails to block, then this is likely to be a violent block, which is a devastating blow to himself or to the knight!

At this moment, Yuan Shu used the "Mongolian wrestling power", and 120% of the power suddenly exploded, forcibly transforming the air from a disadvantage to a victory!

This direct conversation in the air ended with Yuan Shu flying Griffin's air connection in the air! Griffin, who lost his balance in the air, was about to fall forward and eat, so he immediately made a forward rolling action, which not only beautifully resolved the embarrassing fall, but also reduced the possibility of falling and hurting! However, with this delay, it will be extremely difficult to stop Yuan Shu again!

After Jamison got the ball blocked by Yuan Shu, he immediately handed it to Gibson, and the Cavaliers launched a fast break on the spot! Gibson quickly advanced to the Clippers' half court and hit the ball to the rebound, followed by Yuan Shu, who understood it, jumped high to receive Gibson's board pass, and after changing the ball from the left hand to the right hand, he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

Today's best goal is almost sealed! Gibson's board pass, Yuan Shu stepped down after receiving the ball! The perfect combination of wonderful passing and violent aesthetic dunks!

This wonderful goal couldn't help but make the Clippers' home court immediately silent, and at the same time, Scarlett also covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes flashed with surprise and adoration!

Seeing that Griffin was capped on the inside as soon as he came up in the second half, when he attacked for the second time, Eric Gordon planned to come by himself, and after shaking off Anthony Parker, he immediately shot the basket, but suddenly felt that the raised hand was empty, and Gibson, who was defending Davis, didn't know when he slipped over and slapped the ball that Gordon was about to shoot.

Gibson, who successfully made a steal with active defense, stretched out his right index finger while dribbling the ball with great skill, and said: "Come, let's play a ball steadily!" ”
