Chapter 769: Home Field Advantage!
Wait a minute......
Four starts, with one substitute??
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" When Gu Yu said this, Green on the side had already calculated the number of people, and he only felt that there was something wrong with Gu Yu's calculation, and he was puzzled: "Isn't it too hilarious and funny??" β
"Presumptuous." Gu Yu didn't look back, his eyes swept and glared at Green, and he said with a sneering expression: "How could my calculation be wrong?" I still know the addition and subtraction within five. β
"Society, admiration, admiration, or ......" teammates cooperated, causing another burst of laughter.
"Eh, you guys are making trouble! My cousin really miscalculated! Green was a little more serious, waved his hand and said, "I, Russell, and Andrew are three people because, uh...... For various reasons, there was not much playing time in the first two quarters and the third quarter, and the rotation rhythm was problematic. Anyway, they just had to make up time, so they simply went straight to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter and caught them off guard. I understand that. β
As he spoke, Green stretched out his hand and pointed to Gu Yu, who was digging his ears: "But cousin, you're almost thirty minutes on the court, which is basically the normal rotation time of our playoffs, and you don't need to play." It's the same with George, who doesn't need to play. How can this be counted as three main forces with two substitutes, where did the fourth main force come from?? β
"Me." Gu Yu didn't raise his head to answer.
ββ¦β¦ Ha?! Green was stunned, and everyone finally followed the train of thought of the two, and was stunned at the same time.
Gu Yu?
Why did Gu Yu play at the beginning of the fourth quarter?
"Coach, this ......"
"Hehe, my cousin is right." Phil Jackson didn't wait for Green to ask a question, and directly interrupted: "Anyway, I'm ready to settle the battle in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, and of course my cousin has to play." β
This...... It seems to make sense!
But the question is Gu Yu's physical fitness, can he keep up? ?
"Don't worry about my physical fitness, when did you guys ever see me panting and taking the initiative to truce??" Gu Yu immediately thought of everyone's worries, shook his head with a smile and said, "And there is another factor, the winged bucket father didn't say it, I think you also have to pay attention to it." β
Pointing to the Thunder bench, Gu Yu continued: "Now they are 17 points behind, but there is still a full quarter of game time. If we were them, we wouldn't have given up the game, right? So what's the best way to get a quick fourth quarter? β
When Gu Yu said this, everyone knew it.
That's right, think about it from your shoes, and the Thunder team who still want to continue chasing points and trying to turn the tables around, of course, must also seize the opportunity of this transition section to let one person continue to play.
Kevin Durant.
"If that guy is there, and I'm not there, you three stinkers, how can He De keep up with his rhythm of grabbing points?" Gu Yu added, and everyone was speechless.
Especially Paul George, who was sitting on the sidelines, weakly just wanted to raise his hand and say that he also wanted to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, there was a buzz in his head for a moment.
That sentence echoed in his mind again:
In the final analysis, this round of the series is a contest between Gu Yu and Durant, and the performance of any player from the other two sides is just icing on the cake.
It's like how many years ago when the mighty Phoenix Suns made it to the Finals against the incomparably tough Chicago Bulls.
No matter how eye-catching Kevin Johnson is, no matter how good Scottie Pippen is, he can't change a fact.
There are only two people who affect the outcome of the series.
Barkley, Jordan.
"It's time for the break!"
As the referee blew the whistle, the players from both sides stood up, shouted slogans of self-encouragement, and walked into the stadium as one.
During the break, the stadium was dead silent, and the last shouts of the fans also sounded.
But the cry had only been heard for a while, and it was completely extinguished by a spectacle.
"When the two sides return to the court, the most critical game in the fourth quarter is about to begin, and if the Thunder want to chase points, they must rely on the play of Kevin Durant...... Well?! Halfway through the Yoga commentary, he was also stunned, stared at the lineup of the Kings with wide eyes and said, "Country, Kings...... Four starters?!! β
Wei Shao, Gu Yu, Beasley, Green, Bynum.
Except for George, who has not yet fully recovered the rhythm of the game, the Kings have fielded the strongest lineup they can send at this extremely delicate moment.
ββ¦β¦ FXXKοΌοΌ "On the Thunder bench, as soon as Brooks saw that Gu Yu was actually about to play, his whole mentality exploded in an instant.
On the Thunder's side, Fisher, Butler, Durant, Collisson, Perkins, this lineup is placed in front of the King's lineup, it is simply a send!
The subsequent process of the game also proved the terrifying imagination in people's hearts.
The Kings kicked off, and the Thunder players had not yet recovered from the terrifying lineup given by the Kings, and after Gu Yu received a pass from Wei Shao at the top of the arc, he suddenly hung up without looking at anyone, attracting Perkins' retreat.
However, the person who received the ball was a shadow like lightning.
"Rub ...... Call! β
Westbrook.
"Wei Shao received the ball directly from the middle distance, and Perkins couldn't defend it...... Middle!! β
The Thunder attacked, and the bench players didn't dare to be tough with the Kings' starters at all, and directly handed the ball to Durant.
"EASY-BRO......", "Whew! β
Before Beasley's lazy words were finished, Durant stepped forward to the basket with a mid-range feint and threw it open.
Middle!
"Good thing KD!" The exclamation of yoga is also the only ray of hope in the hearts of Thunder fans, and everyone's eyes are focused on Durant, who can only keep praying that Durant can play a devastating performance and turn the tide.
But Gu Yu didn't agree.
"Bang bang!"
With his back on the wing, Gu Yu waved his hand after receiving the ball, and his teammates cleared one side. Turning into a face frame, continuous dribbling and shaking, Gu Yu was unhurried in the face of Durant, who was defending in person, pressing the rhythm of time, showing off his miraculous dribbling.
When the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Gu Yu suddenly glanced to the right, causing Durant to make extremely slight adjustments.
This little hesitation can't be caught by anyone.
Gu Yu can.
"Bang...... Call! β
Moving the ball sideways and taking a big step, Gu Yu leaned forward and opened his hand to shoot. Again, at the moment when Durant reacted as quickly as he could, and chased after him to block, Gu Yu took a shot, and the action was formed at one time, pushing the ball out.
"Huh!"
Middle!
It's amazing, it's amazing!!
There are 10,000 reluctances in their hearts, and Thunder fans have to admit that Gu Yu is strong. It is impossible to deny that as a basketball fan, how much turmoil will occur in my heart when I watch such a terrifying solo performance on the court.
But they, and KD.
As long as there is Durant, everything is possible......
"Get up, get up, I'll come!"
Go to Nima!!
When I saw the picture of Gu Yu asking Beasley to get out of the way, and running forward with his trouser leg lifted up, he singled out Durant.
The hearts of Thunder fans are completely dead.
Because they saw that Durant, who had hit consecutive shots and had a good hand to explode, actually trembled a little under his feet at the moment he faced Gu Yu's defense.
"Durant's mentality is about to collapse." Director Zhang was keenly aware of this, and said in a deep voice: "He's going to make a strong throw." β
"Rub!"
As Coach Zhang expected, Durant really didn't dare to do any shaking movements at all, and the scene of being stabbed face-to-face by Gu Yu was still vivid, which made his heart tremble, so he had to take advantage of his height and jump and shoot directly.
At this moment, a face that had not appeared for a long time appeared in Durant's mind.
Jason Kidd.
In 2011, in the dream playoffs of the Dallas Mavericks, in the face of the Thunder team that came with a lot of momentum, the 38-year-old Kidd actually defended Durant in several key offenses and defenses in a row at critical moments.
Knife balls, fouls, route predictions, unbelievable early moves.
Jason Kidd's terrifying defensive choices, based on what he has accumulated over a decade and based on calculations that may be the brains of the best in NBA history, once made it difficult for ace small forward Durant to even dribble once.
After that year, Durant really put his body, mind, and everything into basketball, and he didn't slack off for a day, just thinking about becoming stronger and stronger again until he was invincible in the world.
He once thought that he had done it, and when he led the team to overcome obstacles in this year's playoffs and won all the way to the Western Conference Finals, he really thought that he had come to the level where Chen Mu and LeBron were.
But today, the man in front of him made Durant realize the cruel truth:
Want to make a move?
ββ¦β¦ Let's ask Lao Tzu first if he agrees!! "Rub! β
jumped almost at the same time, Gu Yu's height plus arm span was not many centimeters less than Durant.
But still with Durant, he reached the highest point.
Thisβthis can't be!!
I know very well that because I have continuously picked up the team's attack, I have reached the limit of my physical fitness, and it is impossible to play at my best.
But Durant still instinctively denies this fact deep down.
Until, the giant palm slapped down.
ββ¦β¦ Syllable! β
Gu Yu, face to face, risked Durant's pull-up jumper!
"What a spicy hot pot!! Wei Shao grabbed the ball, and his cousin was already sprinting to the frontcourt! Fisher wanted to block it, but it was complete, complete, blocked, no, stay!! β
"Whooshββ!!"
Wei Shao threw high, Gu Yu took off, and when he soared into the sky with his arms outstretched, he was like a hungry cheetah, pounced on the poor prey that was doomed.
"Bang ββ!!"
The audience was silent, only the sound of Gu Yu's light footsteps falling to the ground sounded.
subsequently
ββ¦β¦ Roarββ!!! β
With an angry roar, Gu Yu raised his head to the sky and roared, burning all the flames on his body on this foreign land.
After about twenty minutes.
Sacramento Kings ......
"Toot-toot-tootββ!!"
Home field advantage, hand on it!
