Chapter 34: The Battle Again

In the next few days, Gu Fei returned to his normal training state, no longer the kind of high-intensity crazy training mid-shot, just coaching for an hour or two every day.

During this period, Gu Fei approached Scott and told him that his mid-range shooting was already okay and would not become a weakness that the other party used on the field, and hoped that the coach could give him the same playing time as before.

And Scott also agreed to Gu Fei's request after observation, and would give him a chance in the next game.

A few days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the evening of November 16.

Gu Fei and the others had already arrived in Phoenix in the morning, and in the afternoon they had some acclimatization training at the American Airlines Center.

There are still 30 minutes left before the game, and the players are warming up before the game.

"Gu, how is your Zhongtou practice?"

"Noah, don't worry, if the Suns want to learn from the Raptors, then they will pay a terrible price."

Noah nodded excitedly and stepped aside to practice his free throws.

Speaking of Noa's free throws, Noah is also a hard-working player who often practices with Gu Fei, so with the help of Gu Fei, Noa's free throws have also made great progress, and now Noa's free throw shooting rate can be stable at about 70%.

Gu Fei looked at the Suns, perhaps because he felt that Gu Fei had come over, Nash assisted Xiao Si to complete a beautiful air relay, and the Suns fans at the scene burst into huge applause and cheers.

And Xiao Si glanced at Gu Fei even more demonstratively, while Nash nodded to Gu Fei in a friendly manner.

For polite people, Gu Fei was still willing to contact him, so Gu Fei also nodded and smiled at Nash.

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and the game began.

In the opening game, Xiao Si overwhelmingly jumped to the ball, and after the jump ball was successful, he quickly ran forward when the Bulls could react.

Just when the Bulls reacted and started to catch up, Nash had already cooperated with Smalls to complete the first offense of the opening game.

Gu Fei on the field looked at Xiao Si who was still hanging on the basket and shook his head.

"This Xiao Si's body is really exciting, and his style of play is really violent, but he also met a passing master like Nash, and it is difficult to play a good number of jΓΉ."

Gu Fei also shook his head when he thought of the information about Xiao Si, and in Barkley's original words, "Stoudemire is very promising to become a great player, he is infinitely powerful, and his ball control and rebounding skills are even higher than mine." He just needs to gain a little more rebounding experience, and for a player like him, getting more than 10 rebounds per game should be fine. ”

You must know that our Sir Charles rarely praises people, he has always thought that Jordan is first and he is second, and how difficult it is for him to admit that he is inferior to others.

But Xiao Si did it, which can also be seen from the side Xiao Si's ability is really strong. Isn't there such a sentence: Xiao Si left Nash or Xiao Si, Marion left Nash is nothing (in fact, the author disagrees with the second half of the sentence). This sentence also proves that Xiao Si did not rely on Nash to achieve success only on a certain period of time.

Gu Fei was imaginative for a while and then turned his attention back to the court, and now the score on the court came to 12-10, with the Bulls and visitors in front.

Nash controlled the ball through the half, and Xiao Si immediately came up to block for Nash, who broke down from the left.

At this time, Xiao Si, who was blocking and dismantling Nash, went down from the middle, and just received the ball from Nash on the free throw line.

This is the third time that Xiao Si and Nash have cooperated like this in this game, and each time it has succeeded without pressure, the Bulls know what they are going to do but there is no way, Nash's scoring and passing ability combined with Xiao Si's explosive physique has made this style of play a regular style of play for the Suns.

But fortunately, although the Suns have strong offensive firepower but poor defense, it is generally easy to score high scores with the Suns, and this game is estimated to be too, because only 3 minutes have passed now, 12-12.

In this way, the two sides of you and I fought so well that the time quickly passed another 5 minutes.

In eight minutes of play, Nash dished out five assists, four of which went to Smalls, who had 11 points and five rebounds, and with the excellent play of the two men, the Suns led the Bulls by six points at 22-28 in the starting lineup.

Both sides have made substitutions for facelifts, but the Bulls have left two starters on the court, Hinrich and Lore Deng, while the Suns have only Raja Bell.

Since Raja Bale has to mention this player, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind should be the feud between him and Kobe.

In Game 1 of the 2001 Finals, Bryant scored only 15 points on 7-of-22 shooting, against the unknown Raja Bell. Five years later, the confrontation between the two gradually escalated, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.

3 November 2005. The Lakers played their first regular season meeting with the Suns, and Kobe Bryant pushed Bell for a technical foul; When the two teams met again on Jan. 20, Vic made just 12 of 33 shots, and when asked about Bale's excellent defense, Bryant said, "Please, buddy, don't talk about it." "The third collision was a playoff preview between the two teams, which turned into a Mars collision with Earth. Bryant and Bale were entangled on the court and even scuffled. Bryant scored 51 points but lost the game, and Bale's words after the game were meaningful: "All I can say is that this series is going to be tiring. ”

In the fifth game of the first round of the playoffs, the grievances between the two finally came to an end, after being elbowed by Kobe, Bale appealed to the referee unsuccessfully, and finally chose malicious revenge, put Kobe Bryant on the ground with a fierce choke locker, was expelled from the game, and was additionally suspended, and this action was also selected into the NBA history of the top 10 malicious fouls.

The war of words between the two did not end after the game, with Bale believing that Kobe Bryant was a guy with no one in sight, while Bryant mocked him as an insecure child.

But Bell admits that Bryant is a tough player, "I made his shot uncomfortable, and I tried my best, but I couldn't do anything, and that's why he's the league's leading scorer." ”

Of course, Bale wasn't just a defensive success against Kobe, as he was selected as the "All-Defensive First Team" last season (First Team in '07 and Second Team in '08). This shows that Bale's defensive skills are very deep.

And now Gu Fei is about to face him.

On the court, the Bulls handed the ball to Gu Fei, who had just come on the court, which is also an unwritten rule of the Bulls, that is, every time a teammate who has just come on the court will hand the ball to him to complete the offense, of course, the premise is that the player is here to score.

Gu Fei held the ball in the top arc and looked at Laga Bell, who was one step away from him and felt as thin as himself.

"Rookie heard that you were defended by the Raptors in the last game and couldn't score, how dare you show up on the court today? Aren't you afraid that I'll guard you so much that you can't catch the ball? ”

"Am I not holding the ball now? Shut your mouth, I'm going to score. ”

Bell originally thought that Gu Fei would not be trash-talking, but he was choked by Gu Fei's words, as for Gu Fei saying that he wanted to score in front of him, Bell disdained in his heart, in his opinion, he could even prevent Kobe Bryant, making it difficult for him to score, let alone a rookie? He's nowhere near Kobe.

Just as Bell was recalling his past glory years, Gu Fei suddenly jumped up.

Facing Laga Bell's defense, Gu Fei shot directly at the three-point line, and Bell, who was originally defending Gu Fei to break through and was in a position, saw that it was impossible for Gu Fei to make a move to block, so Bell had to cover Gu Fei's eyes.

The ball left Gu Fei's palm with a strong spin, and Gu Fei had already sat on the ground because Bell's pounce was too big.

He and Bell were both staring at the rising ball, and the crisp sound of wiping the net told them the answer.

"I said I was going to score".

"Shit, rookie, I'll make you pay for your arrogance." Bell stared at Gu Fei's back and said fiercely.
