Chapter 21: New Skills Emerge

When I came to the stadium, there were already people training inside.

Gu Fei glanced at Big Ben, Luoer Deng, Noah, Hinrich, and Thomas were all here, but the coach had not yet arrived.

"Hello everyone, it's so early."

"Hehe, it's because you're too late today, didn't you go on a date?"

When Luo Erdeng said this, Gu Fei was a little weak-hearted, although it was a chance encounter, it could be regarded as a date.

However, Luo Erdeng didn't say anything next, and after saying hello, Gu Fei also picked up a basketball and went to the side to practice.

However, today Gu Fei did not practice his three-point stunt, but went uncharacteristically to practice dribbling and passing. Of course, this anomaly is only in the eyes of others.

For example, this: "Hey, why don't Gu practice three points today, and run to practice dribbling and passing." ”

"I don't want to just make a three-pointer, so I'm going to practice some other scoring techniques, like the current breakover."

Big Ben nodded and didn't ask any more, maybe he felt that it was normal for a young man to enhance his strength and practice other scoring methods, and Gu Fei's three points were already very good in his opinion.

Of course, Gu Fei won't say that he started practicing now because the system gave him new skills, and he is familiar with it now, after all, he hasn't used it before.

Soon, on the night of November 7th, the United Center Arena

The Bulls will face a challenge from the Los Angeles Clippers at home tonight.

On the court, players on both sides are doing warm-up exercises, the Bulls look very relaxed, everyone warms up together and laughs, and our protagonist Gu Fei is also relatively happy today, because he thinks he should be able to get a lot of playing time today, after all, the Clippers are not strong, and the coach should leave newcomers like him and Noah on the court for a little more time.

The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides are played on the screen, with the Bulls starting the same lineup: Hinrich, Seflosa, Lore Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Big Ben, and the Clippers starting lineups are unchanged: Knight, Mobley, Margate, Tim Thomas, Carman. Of course, given the strength of the Clippers this season, they can't have any other starting lineups.

At the beginning of the game, Carman won the right to the first offense for the Clippers, after all, Big Ben was not in his peak period and his height was not high, so it was normal to lose the jump ball, and the Bulls quickly retreated to the half court to defend.

The Clippers' first offense was in the hands of the old cat Mobley, and the ball didn't stay too long in Mobley's hands, and after a frontal cross, Severosa hit a mid-range pull-up from 4 meters away from the basket opened the scoring for the Clippers.

Speaking of the old cat, many Chinese fans should be very impressed with him, although he went to the Kings after only two years as a teammate with Yao Ming, went to the Magic in one season in the King, and only played one season in the Magic and now to the Clippers, but in the Rockets period, the backcourt firepower he and Francis formed are definitely terrifying to other teams.

As a shooting guard with a height of only 193, the Cats have mainly relied on three weapons in the league, breaking, back to the basket and long shots.

Although he does not have the strong "folding layup" ability of his good brother Francis, his amazing speed ensures that he has a considerable chance to complete an easy layup before the opponent has time to make up for it, and if the opponent reacts quickly enough, he can also make a stop-and-go jump shot 3 or 4 meters away from the basket, and hit it steadily; Speaking of carrying the basket, the outstanding elasticity makes the old cat's step-back jumper as steady as sitting on the bench, and the natural left-hander is even more unguardable. Slowly dribbling the ball close to the basket, then suddenly stepping back to shoot or simply turning around and slipping to the other side for a layup, it's as simple as that. The last is his long-range shooting, career average of more than 1.5 three-point shots per game, nearly 4 percent of the shooting rate, proving the old cat's long-range shooting level, unlike some other shooters, the old cat rarely faces the defender to force a shot, but once there is a vacant opportunity, he never hesitates, as a non-dominant attacker, accurate outside shooting will be the foundation of his life after he is old, not fast and not fast.

The Bulls attacked, Hinrich broke through to attract the defense and passed to Big Ben under the basket for an aerial relay, and the fans at the scene saw that the Bulls' first offense was completed in such a powerful way as an empty catch, and they also applauded warmly.

The game went very smoothly, and the process was not much different from what Gu Fei thought, and the Clippers had no power to parry, but only relied on the old cats Mobley and Carman to support themselves.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers were 18-26 behind by 8 points, and Gu Fei did not get the opportunity to play in the rotation time at the beginning of the second quarter, but Noah was on it, there was no way that Gordon was playing with the team on the court now, and Scott's current approach was to let Gu Fei and Gordon not be on the court at the same time, at least this would not affect the game too much, and in doing so, Gu Fei's playing time would inevitably be reduced.

Of course, Scott also knows that this is not a cure for the root cause, if Gu Fei really rises quickly, he will not be able to suppress Gu Fei's appearance all the time, so that the contradiction between the two people will definitely be deeper, but Scott is not thinking about it too much now, because Gu Fei will not grow quickly to the speed of Gordon in a short period of time.

At the end of the second quarter, the margin was further widened off the bench, and the Clippers were already trailing by 15 points at 35-50.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Gu Fei played, and Gordon, who had played the second quarter, was now resting off the court, and he was very proud now, because in his opinion, the coach did not let Gu Fei play in order to appease him, as long as he was on Gu Fei, he couldn't play, and in his opinion, the coach was right to do this, how could a kid who could only shoot three points be qualified to compete with him for playing time?

Gu Fei didn't know about Gordon's careful thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't pay attention to it, hungry Gordon to grab playing time was not his goal.

The Clippers are currently in the full starting lineup, and it seems that they want to try to chase it in the third quarter, and if they can't narrow the margin at the end of the third quarter, the Clippers should give up.

In this way, it is an old cat who is opposite Gu Fei, Mobley confronted Gu Fei with the ball in the three-point top arc, and suddenly Mobley spoke

"I heard you're good at three points?"

Gu Fei didn't understand what Mobley was trying to express, who knew that Mobley was holding Gu Fei and suddenly made a move in the moment of distraction.

Facing Gu Fei was directly a three-point shot, Gu Fei didn't expect Mobley to attack suddenly, and when he reacted, the ball was already out of Gu Fei's control range.

Well, three points should be called into the net.

"Rookie, it's not just you who can score three points." When the old cat was over, he also squirted at Gu Fei.

In fact, the old cat rarely plays this kind of ball, I don't know what happened today, and I have an inexplicable impulse in the face of Gu Fei, a rookie.

Gordon, who was sitting on the court, saw this scene and said to Sephorosa, who was sitting next to him, in a weird way: "Look at that kid, what kind of defense is this, is he still a high school student?" I was still distracted during the game. Sephorosa didn't say anything when he heard it, he knew that Gordon was not dealing with Gu Fei now.

But his voice was so loud that Scott only shook his head when he heard it, and he knew that Gordon was saying it to him.

On the offensive end of the Bulls, this time the Bulls played a simple pick-and-roll combination, and Du Hong lightly got a mid-range open jumper opportunity to score two points for the team.

Looking at the Clippers again, it was still the old cat who singled Gu Fei, this time the old cat didn't show Gu Fei his three points again, he knew that he relied more on luck with that kind of ball.

This time, Mobley decisively broke through Gu Fei, thinking that Gu Fei's defensive strength was easy for the old cat to burst him, and now Noah on the inside line does not have the ability to make up for the defense, and the old cat scores a layup.

Du Hong held the ball over half the court and just came to stand outside the three-point line, but saw Gu Fei reaching out for the ball at 45 degrees on the right side.

Du Hong hesitated a little and passed over, because in his opinion, now that the team is leading by a large score, it is nothing to let Gu Fei play one, and even if he doesn't score, there is not much loss.

Seeing Gu Fei catching the ball and facing Mobley, Gordon on the sidelines was there again, "Doesn't this rookie know what he's doing?" He actually asked for the ball, didn't he know that he only had to dribble to break him and break him was the same as breaking elementary school? ”

In fact, it wasn't just Gordon, but Scott was also very surprised this time, he didn't understand what Gu Fei wanted to do, could it be that he was beaten two by Mobley and wanted to return a three-pointer?

Scott guessed half right, Gu Fei wanted to return one, but it was not three points but a breakthrough.

I saw that Gu Fei started dribbling on the court after several consecutive tentative steps did not receive results, and the old cat on the opposite side seemed to know that Gu Fei could only score three points and had never dribbled on the court, so he stretched out his hand.

Mobley was already much shorter than Gu Fei, so he didn't directly pull his hand into Gu Fei's hand.

And just when the old cat felt that he was about to touch the ball, Gu Fei suddenly dribbled behind and pulled the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and Mobley pounced.

Mobley didn't think he would fail when he went to pick up the ball, so his current position could no longer completely block Gu Fei, and Gu Fei immediately broke through to the right.

Mobley didn't want to fail in defense like this, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity that had not yet stabilized and wanted to block Gu Fei's way.

If it was before, Gu Fei could have no choice, but Gu Fei had already obtained the skill to break through.

I saw Gu Fei hand the ball to his left hand again, and a large change of direction in front of his body passed Mobley.

Before Carman could react, Gu Fei scored an easy layup.

"You're not the only one who will break through, old bird."

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Mobley's face kept changing, and it took a long time to return to normal.

And Gordon off the field has a wide open mouth, although he can do this kind of passing, but in his opinion, Gu Fei, who can only score three points, can do it is so incredible.

"He must have been lucky, Mobley was out of position when he picked up the ball, and if it was me I would have had an easier breakthrough." Gordon thought to himself, wondering if this was his self-consolation that he felt threatened.

Scott was also a little surprised, he thought that Gu Fei would return a three-point shot but he broke through Mobley's defense, but he, like Gordon, also thought that Gu Fei was lucky, of course he had no malicious intentions.

"Did you just see that? That Chinese three-pointer just broke through Mobley's defense, and the breakthrough just now was really beautiful, I don't know when he will break through, can we see it next? A Bulls fan said to his friend.

This should be Gu Fei's original fan, but there are also different opinions among the fans.

"I think he was just lucky not to see that the old cat was out of position? I'll do it too, and if he's going to make a beautiful breakthrough next, I'll admit he's not stupid luck. ”

The previous fan didn't fight with him, he didn't think Gu Fei would be just lucky, because he saw Gu Fei's firm eyes before breaking through, if it was just luck, it would not be possible to be so confident.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the first pass."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for scoring his first layup."

The two prompt tones also made Gu Fei a little surprised.

In the next game, Gu Fei did not show a breakthrough again, which made the fan who had been looking forward to Gu Fei's breakthrough also a little disappointed, but he still believed that Gu Fei was not lucky.

Another fan was proud: "I said that the No. 1 rookie was just lucky, you see he didn't dare to break through at all." ”

The fans who believed that Gu Fei still didn't answer, just shook their heads and left the stadium.

In the end, the Bulls also defeated the Clippers with a score of 108-96, and Gu Fei still hit all of them in this game, one layup, two three-pointers, and just scored a double-double, plus a rebound and an assist.

There was no reaction to that breakthrough from the outside world or within the team, because most of them were just a little surprised at the incident, and later thought that it was just luck.

Soon, maybe people will forget about that breakthrough, maybe only Gu Fei and that fan will know what that breakthrough will represent!
