Chapter 18: Defeat

The Bulls are only two points behind, and Gu Fei thinks he should win this game for the Bulls.

The Bulls have the ball, and Big Ben serves the baseline ball.

Hinrich dribbled through the halfcourt, watching the Bucks' defense.

The Bucks still haven't completely let go of Gu Fei's defense, and Gu Fei's three points still make them dare not relax.

Hinrich beckoned, and Thomas immediately stepped up to make a pick-and-roll for him.

With Thomas' block, Hinrich broke through to the left, and Williams immediately squeezed past Thomas and blocked Hinrich.

Seeing Williams follow up again, Hinrich paused and slowly dribbled back to beyond the three-point line.

When Gu Fei saw it, he immediately ran in the direction of Xin Liqi, passed by Xin Liqi, and Xin Li Qi handed the ball to Gu Fei's hand.

At this time, Thomas, who had just blocked and dismantled for Sinrich, immediately changed direction and made a block for Gu Fei in the same position.

And Gu Fei jumped up directly after getting rid of Reed for a short time with the help of the block, this time it was very difficult to shoot, Gu Fei's whole person was completely oblique in the air, and it was not a normal shooting posture, and it also had an obvious backwards. (For this, you can refer to Curry's posture of not completely getting rid of the defense and shooting directly after using the pick-and-roll)

Reed's hand basically covered Gu Fei's face, and this ball can be said to be defended to the extreme, except for the block. If such a defense can be scored, it can only be said that the opponent's hand is indeed explosive, and the defender's luck is too bad.

This kind of thing happened today, Gu Fei ran directly to the backcourt after he landed, and at the same time, he also stretched out the three fingers of his right hand, and didn't look at the ball that was still falling.

"Kenny, you see, this rookie is really too confident, is it difficult for him not to be afraid that the ball will not go in? In that case he would have been ridiculed by the fans and the media tomorrow, but the goal went in. ”

"Charles, it's true, this rookie has a strong self-confidence that ordinary people don't have, and his self-confidence has brought him more attention, at least for now."

And after Gu Fei scored this three-pointer, the Bulls led the Bucks for the first time in the game, although it was only one point.

Compared with Gu Fei's calmness, the other Bulls teammates were extremely excited, after all, they were also ahead now.

"Kenny, look at the calm in the rookie's eyes, as if the ball just now had nothing to do with him, is this just the nature of a killer, will he be a terrible killer?"

"I don't know, but I don't think just a few goals in a few games will give you a vision of the future, you know, there are so many new stars in the league."

Smith sang the opposite tune with Barkley, in fact, he didn't think so much about Gu Fei, he just said this for the effect of the show and the company's arrangement.

With 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the game, it was the Bucks' turn to attack.

Reed scored two points with a pick-and-roll after the breakaway, giving the Bucks a one-point lead.

Just like that, the Bucks and Bulls began to alternate a few leads.

In the past minute, the Bucks' several offenses have been completed, and the Bulls' offense has just failed.

That said, the Bucks will now be three points behind if they make that shot.

It was still Reed who attacked, and Reed shook off Lohrdeng and killed the inside line for two consecutive changes of direction.

On the inside, Big Ben was stuck outside the box by Boggart, and Reed had a great chance to score a layup, but I don't know why he slowed down, and he slowed down to give Noah a chance.

Noah hurriedly gave up his defensive Villanueva to make up for Reid, and Lore Deng in the back also caught up when Reid slowed down, and the ball disappeared when Reid was about to fall into the bag.

Chirp, the referee's whistle blew, and two points were valid plus one free throw.

I saw Boggart fall from the basket and stared at Noah who had just fouled him with wide eyes.

Just when Reed was caught in front and back, Bogut got rid of Big Ben's entanglement and ran inside, and Reed's ball also came to him at the same time, and when the ball reached Boggart's hand, Noah turned back, just in time to see Bogut jump, and Noah stretched out his hand without thinking too much.

And this time he reached out and didn't stop Boggart from dunking and paid for a foul, and Noah is now very depressed with his head down, and he blames himself very much.

Boggert missed the free throw, which made the Bulls breathe a sigh of relief and the Bulls called a timeout.

"Noah, don't take it to heart, it's normal for us to be rookies and inexperienced, and besides, everyone doesn't blame you, you are also for the team to win."

After listening to Gu Fei's words, Noah felt a little better, but he also said that he had an expression of a dead family.

"Noah is fine, you are still young, then you will sit on the sidelines and observe the game, now what you lack is experience, and you will have to learn from Ben in the future." This time, it was the head coach of the team who spoke.

Big Ben nodded when he heard it next to him, he also liked this hard-working young man very much.

"We need a three-pointer next, our first choice is still Gu, and Lore Deng and Gordon you have to be ready to catch the ball at all times."

Back on the court, the Bucks obviously made arrangements for Gu Fei's three-pointer, and they would rather other people score than Gu Fei to shoot.

Under the tight defense of the Bucks, Gu Fei couldn't catch the ball, and he had no choice but to hand it over to Gordon in the end.

And Gordon missed, and the clock had 11 seconds left.

The Bucks serve, and the Bulls immediately resort to foul tactics.

Reed hit two free throws and the Bulls are now trailing by five points.

There are 9 seconds left in the clock.

The Bulls didn't have a timeout, and the backcourt served.

Gordon quickly dribbled past half court and immediately gave the ball to Gu Fei.

Although Gordon does not have a good impression of Gu Fei, now is an important moment to decide the outcome of the team, and as a professional player, he can still distinguish priorities.

After Gu Fei received the ball, he directly pulled out in the face of the defense.

The ball flew out with a strong spin, and this time Gu Fei didn't turn his head and walk away, but raised his hands and stared at the ball that was still rising.

Hmm, the nets were splashing, and Gu Fei clenched his fists fiercely.

β€œyes”

But now is not the time to celebrate, and they are still two points behind.

There are only 4 seconds left.

The Bulls' player fouled immediately after the Bucks served, and a second passed.

If the Bucks hit both free throws, the Bulls will lose, and if they score a goal, the Bulls will have a chance to play overtime, and if they don't hit a goal, the Bulls will be a better choice.

Reed, who made free throws, didn't give the Bulls a chance and hit both free throws.

In the end, the Bulls made a long throw in the backcourt and passed the ball directly to Gu Fei's hand, and Gu Fei finally threw the ball out and hit it.

It was only after hitting this three-pointer that the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, Gu Fei hit 6 three-pointers, and it was 6 of 6 shots, and one time it was 3+1, and finally Gu Fei played 16 minutes and cut down 21 points, 3 assists and 1 board.

Although the Bulls lost this game, which was also the first game they lost this season, the outside world's attention to Gu Fei did not decrease at all.

Now some media are already studying the number of Gu Fei's games.

Gu scored 8 points in 8 minutes in the first game, 18 points in 10 minutes in the second game, and 21 points in 16 minutes in the third game.

Okay, then let's take a look at another number, Gu scored a total of 47 points in three games, played a total of 34 minutes, and made a total of 16 shots; So let's think about it now, what if this is the number that Gu played in a game? If that were the case, he would be a more terrifying scorer than Bryant, with 47 points on 16 shots, and I don't know if anyone has done that, or when it was last time.

Of course, this assumption is not valid, and this Chinese rookie is still far from Bryant. But now it's time for him to get the attention of the teams, or you'll capsize in the gutter.

Finally, there is a more interesting number, Gu's 16 shots were all hit, and 15 of them came from outside the three-point line, and there were many difficult three-pointers. ”

The above is part of an article by a columnist from ESPN, who not only analyzes Gu Fei's numbers, but also analyzes Gu Fei's technical characteristics, and finally reminds the coaches of each team to pay attention to this rookie.

It can be said that this report has also pushed Gu Fei's popularity up again, because this article Gu Fei has indeed become the object of attention of many coaches.

It can be said that this game in which the Bulls lost by one point also fulfilled Gu Fei, if it wasn't for falling too far behind in the last quarter, Gu Fei would not have gotten so much playing time and opportunities.

However, Gu Fei didn't have time to pay attention to these now, because he was hit by a huge surprise.
