Chapter 375 O'Brien Cup Expectations
Gu Fei didn't have much confidence in his heart, Gu Fei deliberately looked for a video of defending Nowitzki after the first game, and it happened that he found a video of Maddy defending Nowitzki, he and Maddy are of the same height, he believes that his current physical fitness is better than that of Maddy at the beginning, whether it is reaction or all aspects, since Maddy has done it, Gu Fei believes that he can also do it after research, so he dares to ask Ying to defend.

Looking at Kidd's appearance, Gu Fei knew that he was going to pass the ball to Nowitzki, and the best way to defend the big man was tantamount to defending around the front, Gu Fei used his footstep advantage to get stuck in front of Nowitzki, and when Nowitzki tried to run away from Gu Fei's front line, he was surprised to find that Gu Fei's strength and foot movement were so good.
Kidd had to change his mind, if he forced the ball, the average height Kidd simply did not have the confidence to pass from the head of Gu Fei, who could jump, to Nowitzki, if it was too high, it was likely to make Nowitzki lose the best position to receive the ball or even cheapen other players, so he simply stabilized and handed the ball to Jason Terry.
Terry was the only scoring point for the Mavericks to match Nowitzki, and Terry kept dribbling against JR's defense, and the pace of the dribble was getting faster and faster.
Syllable!
Syllable!
The basketball kept hitting the ground, suddenly a bow to accelerate and then a sudden stop, small players generally have a unique talent for speed, and after the retreat, Terry jumped straight to the shot.
Gu Fei, as a person with strong shooting ability, can feel whether to score or not to score at a glance at the arc of the ball, looking at the arc of Terry's throw, Gu Fei directly leaned on Nowitzki and turned around and rushed to the basket.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed on the front edge and bounced out.
Drew Gooden jumped to his feet to pick up the rebound that was bouncing at him.
Just as his hands were about to touch the basketball, a yellow-skinned hand appeared in his field of vision.
With a slight pick, the basketball was spotted in the air, Gu Fei jumped again after landing, and with another pick, Drew Gooden could only watch Gu Fei quickly complete the third jump.
"Amazing bounce speed, Gu made up for the height gap with his excellent physical fitness, and I could even see Drew put down four eggs in surprise with his mouth," Barkley exaggerated.
After Gu Fei landed, he made a long pass, and the ball immediately flew from Gu Fei's hand to the front court at lightning speed.
Although Jason Kidd did his best to defend the defense, it was too late, and Jr. Smith, wearing a white jersey, slashed across the floor like lightning, took the lead in picking up the ball and sending it to the basket with a near-performance 180-degree twist with both hands behind the back.
As soon as Gu Fei, the fake power forward, came onto the court, he first professionally blocked Nowitzki's catch with a loop, then took the rebound from the top of Gooden's head, and then sent a precise long pass.
The Clippers fans in front of the TV waved their arms excitedly, and at this moment it seemed that all their doubts about Gu Fei had been withdrawn, although Gu Fei had not done anything with Nowitzki at all.
"Good pass!" Jr-Smith excitedly ran to the backcourt and celebrated with Gu Fei's passionate chest bump.
The Clippers extended the margin to six points again, with at least a two-goal advantage.
Nowitzki was ready to catch the ball again, Gu Fei was stuck in front of him like a plaster, Nowitzki had to signal his teammates to cover, with the help of Marion's cover, Nowitzki received a pass, and at the moment when he was about to shoot, Gu Fei bypassed Marion and stood in front of Nowitzki.
"Gu appeared in front of Dirk at the right time, can you keep this ball?" Barkley said expectantly, hoping too much to see the picture of Gu Fei successfully defending Novitsky.
Gu Fei took a step closer, and the picture of Maddy defending Nowitzki and Novitzki's shooting was replayed in his mind.
Although the height difference is nearly ten centimeters, Nowitzki is also a little jealous of Gu Fei's jumping ability, and after thinking about it for a long time, he is ready to use a backward jumper.
Seeing Nowitzki's inadvertently shaking shoulders, Gu Fei immediately had an idea in his heart, most people didn't pay attention to this subtle action, but Gu Fei summed it up, this was the prelude to Nowitzki's preparation to shoot directly.
The body was slightly staggered with Nowitzki, if Gu Fei knew that his starting time was not enough, Nowitzki really chose to shoot directly, and at the moment of shooting, Gu Fei's hand appeared in Nowitzki's field of vision.
Nowitzki's face was shocked, but his high arc ensured that the ball jumped past Gu Fei's fingers.
Gu Fei was also a little annoyed, this was the first time he had not grasped the rhythm of the defense like this, and he could only hope that Nowitzki's hand was not there.
Swish!
The crisp sound of wiping the net shattered Gu Fei's thoughts.
A huge cheer erupted in the American Airlines Center, and in their eyes, Gu Fei's defense was undoubtedly a failure.
"You're just a joke, let's get back to where you belong."
"Next time it's going to score in your head and you're going to be shot into a sieve."
……
All kinds of sounds drilled into Gu Fei's ears, and the corners of Gu Fei's mouth hooked up an arc.
"Charles, that's what you're looking forward to, right?" Kenny Smith couldn't help but smile.
"The fact that Gu has done a good job of defending this time can only show that Dirk's luck is good." Barkley retorted.
"According to you, Dirk's luck has always been good, and you should know that more luck is a sign of strength." Kenny Smith said unrelentingly.
Gu Fei returned to the offensive end and looked particularly positive, Marion was a little at a loss, it stands to reason that Gu Fei is the object of his defense, but Gu Fei plunged into the inside line to find Nowitzki, if he defends Nowitzki, he will definitely have to pull the outside defense, the defense outside is undoubtedly a huge test for Nowitzki, the Mavericks are likely to be used to break down, everyone knows how powerful the Clippers' outside line is, Marion can only hand over the task of defending Gu Fei to Nowitzki.
Gu Fei reached out against Nowitzki to ask for the ball, looking very professional inside action.
Miller gave the ball to Gu Fei directly with a blow, and Gu Fei stabilized his center of gravity first, which was the first time in his career that he was a low-level singles interior player.
However, for playing players who are taller than himself, Gu Fei has learned in the system, but it is rarely used, after all, there are not many players who are taller than him when they are on the outside.
"Gu is ready to play Dirk in the low post? To tell you the truth, I'm worried about Dirk's power, everyone knows that Gu has terrifying powers, and I think I should have an advantage over Dirk. Barkley said seemingly casually.
Boom!
Boom!
Two hits in a row sent Nowitzki half a step back.
"Why is it so vigorous?" Nowitzki was quite helpless in the face of Gu Fei's impact, and a big forward was not as strong as a guard, and Nowitzki was unwilling to bear it, so he pushed up his chest again.
Gu Fei also seemed to have made up his mind to use his purest strength to deal with Nowitzki.
After another continuous impact, the pain in Nowitzki's chest became more and more obvious, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, and suddenly Gu Fei grabbed the ball with both hands, leaned on him and took a step towards the middle, and then jumped and hooked his hands.
Despite his best efforts, Nowitzki slowed down and watched Gu Fei send the ball into the basket with a standard jump hook.
"Jump hook, perfect jump hook, look at this height, look at this prelude, Mike let Gu play the inside line next time, height is definitely not a problem." Barkley couldn't wait to get into Kenny Smith's ear.
And the Celtics in front of the TV were all taken aback, all of them didn't expect Gu Fei, who unexpectedly appeared in the power forward position, to show the potential of the standard inside, which made Doug Rivers frown, and everyone has seen how changeable Dunleavy is in the lineup throughout the playoffs.
Although Gu Fei was scored by Nowitzki in the next few defenses, Novisky became more difficult with each goal, and he was consumed a lot of physical strength by Gu Fei on the defensive end, and now it is only the third quarter, and there is still more than a quarter of the game, if he loses his physical strength, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Mavericks.
"Dirk is putting on his scoring show again." Seeing Nowitzki's success in catching the ball again, Kenny Smith said proudly.
Barkley didn't speak, the first four defenses did end in Gu Fei's failure, so what about this time?
Gu Fei was no different from the initial defense of the previous times, while Nowitzki was backed by Gu Fei's sudden impact and turned directly to jump shots.
Syllable!
With a loud bang, the basketball returned directly at high speed, Nowitzki never imagined that such a situation would occur, he couldn't dodge at all, and the basketball smashed directly on his body, and his shot was a shot that lost its center of gravity, and fell directly to the floor under the blow of the basketball.
Rumble!
The sound of intimate contact between the ass and the floor made countless people feel pain for Nowitzki's ass.
"Nice cover, poor Dirk," Barkley sighed, shaking his head.
And this defense also injected confidence into Gu Fei, and Nowitzki's chest that was hit by Gu Fei under a fall seemed even more painful.
In addition, Gu Fei's entanglement hand was like being put into the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, and the continuous iron striking and the Clippers' counterattacks were wave after wave.
didn't get into the inside line, Gu Fei stopped on the outside line, received the pass, and pulled it up and threw it.
Swish!
The basketball went into the hoop cleanly.
With Gu Fei's three-point hit, the Clippers once again widened the gap to double digits.
Carlisle had to call a timeout, but it didn't work well and Nowitzki almost endured the pain.
Nowitzki couldn't hold back the moment he turned around, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye and dripped down the floor.
He is unwilling to be a loser again, very unwilling, since he came to this league, he has been fighting for the final trophy every year for more than ten years, but every time the reality is so cruel.
Although he was only 3-0 down now, he really didn't have any confidence, not at all, it seemed that his tears were only this one, and Nowitzki walked to the players' tunnel with his head held high.
Rivers turned off the TV, everyone in the Celtics immediately threw themselves into practice, and the Clippers once again gave them a huge shock.
The triple-double data can't hide Gu Fei's pseudo-power forward miracle.
Although Gu Fei only contributed 10 points in the second half, he grabbed 9 rebounds and sent 3 blocks, especially to prevent Nowitzki, which contributed the most to the victory of the Clippers.
At the post-match press conference, Gu Fei only said one sentence in the face of everyone's questions, "I only want the O'Brien Cup." (To be continued.) )
