After continuous foot movements, Kobe Bryant jumped up and shot directly under Artest's defense, even though Artest had blocked in place, he still chose to shoot himself.

"Huh"

The basketball got into the net cleanly, Artest shrugged helplessly, obviously he was speechless for such Kobe.

"How can you run so much" Ariza already had the urge to cry, and the scouting report said that Gu Fei's two major incomprehensions were one was the running position and the other was three points, and he had seen the three points, but the running position had not been seen a few times from the last game to this fight, so he couldn't help but relax his vigilance.

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant just scored, and the Clippers' counterattack quickly launched, and Gu Fei did not attack with the ball this time and chose to run directly, which caught Ariza off guard, and when he was struggling to catch up, he realized how accurate what the scouting report said.

I saw Gu Fei pass through Ariza flexibly from the crowded inside line and disappear behind Lin Fei, just when Gu Fei was about to reach the empty position in the bottom corner on the right side, Andre Miller's pass appeared just right in front of Gu Fei not far away, just reaching out to take it.

Derrick Fisher, who was still more than two meters away from the bottom corner of the right side, and Bayram, who was ready to make up for Gu Fei on the inside, looked at Gu Fei who received the ball and jumped directly, but the distance was too far to block Gu Fei at all, it was just a kind of interference, facing the defenders, Gu Fei was full of confidence to shoot three points, not to mention the bluff defense, looked down at the three-point line at his feet, and calmly threw the three-point shot.

Staples Clippers fans have long been accustomed to Gu Fei's goals, and after a familiar arc crossed the sky, the crisp sound of wiping the net spread through the loudspeaker.

Next, Kobe Bryant continued his offensive road, and Kobe Bryant said a good ball under the double bag, and the basketball was directly sent to the inside because Chandler made up for Kobe Bryant and had a vacant position, I have to say that Bayram's high distraction index today made Zen Master and Kobe crazy.

In the face of Bryant's pass, it was clear that Byram was not ready, the basketball smashed into his hand and bounced off, and when he reacted and was about to pick up the falling ball, Artest did not give him a chance at all. , directly held the ball in his hand, and saw that Gu Fei had already run to the front court and threw the ball directly with a long throw.

Following the tragic discovery of Ariza who was guarding behind Gu Fei, Gu Fei was getting farther and farther away from him, and when Gu Fei got the ball, Ariza was still outside his two positions.

Facing the empty basket, Gu Fei did not rush into the inside to dunk, but directly chose to shoot outside, an emergency stop, accompanied by the friction sound of the soul generation and the floor, Gu Fei's whole person rose from the ground, watched the basket gently flick the basket, quickly left his fingers, and flew towards the basket with Gu Fei's confidence

After drawing the signature Gu arc over Staples, it fell into the basket.

The back-to-back three-point hits greatly boosted the morale of the Clippers and completely kicked off the Clippers' counterattack, although Kobe Bryant was still brave, but the Clippers always had a way to put the ball in the basket.

When the first half ended, the Clippers had narrowed the deficit to just one point.

'Well done guys, you didn't give up even though we were behind, that's what I want to see, we still have half a full game to go, keep working hard and we can do our best.' Mike Dunleavy does not hide his inner happiness, as a coach he is most happy to see is undoubtedly the players always have the belief that they will not give up, "As long as you work hard, the second half is destined to belong to you, I hope we can face the Lakers guys with a smile at the end of the game, we lost to them last year and we will do our best to get it back this year, everyone is not optimistic about us, we can't help but be optimistic about ourselves, use our efforts to smash the ideas of those guys, let everyone know what Clippers basketball is"

In the first half of the game, Gu Fei has always been the main point of attack of the Clippers, the whole team scored 49 points, Gu Fei alone contributed 25 points, although this score is undoubtedly good for a player, but this is a disadvantage for a team, a team that relies too much on one person is definitely not a good team.

"Guys, one of the most important things we need to look out for in the second half is share the offensive pressure of Gu, and the team needs you to shoot more and show confidence that you are the best players in the league." Mike Dunleavy pointed out directly, it is true that a team that relies on one person can win one game or two, and it is impossible to win all the time.

Compared to the Faster Boats' locker room, the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room was very depressing, "Anzu, I don't know what you're thinking on the court?" Want a woman? Want your big contract? Phil Jackson's voice looked normal and not angry at all, but everyone knew that the Zen master was really angry.

Maybe it's because he entered the league too early, Bayram is not really mature, and he is often scolded by Kobe Bryant, and he has always had a rebellious mentality in his heart, like a child, "I didn't play well in the first half, just because I didn't have the ball, I need more ball, so that I can play instead of letting me sit back and forth and run meaninglessly." ”

Bayram's words are undoubtedly complaining that Kobe Bryant occupies too much of the ball in the team and causes him to play badly, and when he heard Bayram's words, Kobe's already cold face became even colder.

"Bryant, I'm sure you know how to do it, and it's your duty to lead the team to victory." After Jackson finished speaking, the staff signaled that the second half of the game was about to begin.

When Gu Fei stepped on the floor, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Kobe Bryant who appeared on the other side, and the cold expression on Kobe's face made Gu Fei frown.

The third quarter is extremely important for any team, as much as possible can buy more rest time for the main lineup, and the pressure on the team chasing points in the fourth quarter will not only be so small as the score difference but also psychological and external pressure, so the third quarter has become an inevitable game for both sides.

Ariza did not stand in front of Gu Fei to defend again, but was replaced by Kobe.

But soon the Lakers found out that Gu Fei was just a feint attack point, and the main attack points were scattered on Andre Miller and Artest, especially Artest faced the thin Ariza for consecutive singles success, and Andre Miller was also the same, although he was over thirty years old, he was undoubtedly much younger than the old fish Fisher, and Kobe Bryant repeatedly passed the ball to the inside line Bayram, at first Bayram was still very surprised, and Bayram, who was tall and long-armed, also scored the ball again and again, The successive goals made his confidence burst, and later it became a matter of course to ask for the ball alone, even if his chances were not good.

Gu Fei was very curious about how Biram had beaten Kobe Bryant and didn't accuse him or blindly passing, when Kobe Bryant re-marked Artest, Gu Fei started his offensive show again, Ariza wanted to cry without tears at the moment, he was completely blown up in this game, even so, Phil Jackson still didn't dare to easily replace Odom, after all, the second team needs Odom's sitting. Thankfully, Gasol took on the role of a filler, often using his long arms to make up for the balls Bayram had missed and into the basket. The difference between the two teams went up for a while, and when there were four minutes left in the third quarter, both sides invariably switched to the second lineup, the only one being that the Clippers chose five up and five down while the Lakers kept Gasol.

"I gave you a chance, but your performance didn't convince me of the reason to keep giving you the ball," Bryant said in a cold tone as he walked past Bayram.

Gu Fei, who was not far away, really listened, this was the Kobe he was familiar with.

The second lineup competition and the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter have changed significantly, the Clippers up and down are no longer afraid to shoot, never hesitate to have the opportunity, although the shooting rate is not high, but the score is tightly bitten, when there are seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides reached a tie.

"What can I say? We won the game and I knew before the game that it wasn't going to be an easy game, and that's exactly how it went. Gu Fei smiled at Andrews's interview.

"Is there anything you'd like to say about the Lakers' performance? Like Bryant, like Anzu Bairam, or Pau Gasol? ”

Gu Fei glanced at Andrews with disdain, they are all old friends, and he asked himself such a difficult question, "Bryant is still the most threatening one, he is still the strongest existence in this league, and he needs to step past the Lakers, I think Bryant will not easily agree." Gu Fei didn't answer the answer Andrews expected.

On the big screen above Gu Fei's back was a clear 97:95, and the Clippers announced that the Clippers had taken a 2:0 advantage in this series.

And the biggest hero of the Clippers in this game, in addition to Gu Fei, is undoubtedly Bayram, when Gu Fei threw an equalizer goal when there were fifteen seconds left before the game, the next offensive round Jackson had already arranged for Kobe Bryant to execute the last shot, who knew that Bayram was attacking with the ball at the middle point, taking the ball from the middle distance and cutting inside, and Gu Fei on the side naturally would not let go of this opportunity to break the ball directly, the Clippers did not pause and the time was almost over, who knew that Bayram in turn counter-robbed and committed a direct foul.

Gu Fei naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to score for him, and made two free throws to kill the Lakers.

And such news is undoubtedly good news for the Clippers, not only the victory but also the Lakers infighting, and the balance of series wins seems to be tilted in favor of the Clippers all of a sudden.

97:95, the Clippers successfully defended their second home court, and the total score of 2:0 undoubtedly made a good start for the next game. Bryant was the Lakers' most outstanding performance, with 36 points and 9 assists combined with a perfect performance of 14-of-28 shooting, especially in the final quarter for the Lakers to contribute 12 points, but in the end it was ruined in the hands of Bayram, who suddenly short-circuited his head.

Although the hearts of the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers have been hanging throughout the game, the result is that for them, the final result is that victory is the best harvest, compared to the optimistic and happy atmosphere of the Clippers on and off the Lakers, the atmosphere can be imagined.

Anzu Bayram's final brainless offense and foul was undoubtedly the focus of the media reporters' pursuit, even if Bayram ran out of the final short circuit, his 22 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks looked undoubtedly dominant.

"Anzu, can you talk about your last offensive choice? Was it Phil's deliberate tactics at the timeout or was it your own choice? ”

Erin Andrews appeared in front of the ugly face of Byram with the microphone, he could already foresee that he would be blamed by his teammates and coaches for the final choice, and his mood was naturally not much better, and at this moment Andrews still didn't open the pot, especially the woman in front of him and Gu Fei's damn guy might have an unclear relationship, which directly made the anger in his heart soar again.

"For no reason, it was just an offensive choice, unfortunately I failed, it's as simple as that, don't try to ask me any more questions, I refuse to answer." After saying that, Baram left directly with a face

In addition to Andrews, there are many reporters around who have already thought of the headline of the news in their heads, and of course, it is better to have some people interviewed, such as the Lakers' leader Kobe Bryant and head coach Phil Jackson.

"Bryant, what do you think of Anzu's final choice? Was his choice a direct cause of the loss? ”

"I don't know what he thought at that moment, I just know that we lost the game and know that someone should do better, but since we lost, we don't need to regret what has become a fact, what we need to do is to summarize, summarize the reasons for our failure and strive to win the next game, today's loss is not the end of the world." Although Kobe's voice was not angry, all reporters could feel Bryant's inner dissatisfaction at the moment.

"Bryant, was the last attack on Phil arranged by Anzu?" Journalists never let go of any news point that could cause conflict.

"Who do you think the Lakers' final offense should be?" Bryant asked rhetorically, and went straight into the bathroom, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other.

On the afternoon of May 8, the Clippers began a new training, and another semifinal in the West also began, the Dallas who returned to their home court with 47 points and 13 rebounds from the German tank Nowitzki performed against the sky to defend the home court to pull the total score back to a game, and the Eastern Cavaliers once again defeated the Hawks with a big score of 20 points to expand the total score to 2:0, and the Atlanta Hawks looked vulnerable in front of the Cavaliers.

The Celtics, who failed to keep their home court in the first game, slaughtered the Magic with a huge 28-point margin in the second, and the rising top point guard Rajon Rondo dominated the game with a triple-double of 15 points, 18 assists and 11 rebounds, and also proved his strength.

May 9, 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles time, Staples Center.

Gu Fei raised his head, the jerseys and flags hanging above the arena were already the Lakers' retired jerseys and championship flags, and the huge Lakers logo on the floor also announced that today is not the home of the Clippers but the territory of the Lakers.

At the last moment before the game, Gu Fei and Kobe Bryant simply hugged each other, and Kobe leaned down in Gu Fei's ear and said coldly, "Today is my territory, and the victory belongs to me." ”

"As long as you can," Gu Fei said with a smile, letting go of Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's eyes stared at Gu Fei coldly, as if he wanted to devour Gu Fei.

Kobe Bryant has always been a proud man, he doesn't want people to end his career and say that he won the championship with the help of that big shark, he desperately wants to get another championship ring through his own efforts, last year's defeat made him even more hungry for this year's O'Brien Cup, and he will never allow himself to stay in the West.

Now that the team is 2-0 down, this game for him cannot be lost, he must win.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, Anzu Byram and Tyson Chandler jumped up almost at the same time, I don't know if Bayram jumped a little anxiously, Bayram, who had a certain advantage in height and reach, did not touch the ball in the air first, and Tyson Chandler preemptively dialed the ball to Andre Miller.

Miller brought the ball to the front court, did not rush to attack, and after observing the position of his teammates first, he passed the ball to Gu Fei on the other side. And the moment Gu Fei received the ball, Kobe's fingers almost poked the ball out.

Gu Fei protected the ball and did not rush to attack, the momentum exuded by Kobe Bryant Lin Fei felt it clearly, Gu Fei had to cheer up all his spirit, if the Clippers won this game, they would be in a quite favorable situation.

After posing for the basic action of the three threats, Gu Fei continued to tentatively probe like Kobe Bryant's left and back sides, but there was no substantive effect, and Gu Fei didn't want to deceive Kobe Bryant with such a tentative step.

syllable

With a flick of the wrist, the basketball came to the left hand after stepping down and hitting the ground, and the whole person's momentum looked like it would break through directly from Kobe's right side.

Kobe Bryant didn't move his footsteps completely to the right, lest Gu Fei was just a feint, but in fact Kobe's idea was completely correct, Gu Fei changed direction and then cut from Kobe's left side, Gu Fei completely added up his speed, and the collision between the left side of his body and Kobe Bryant suddenly stumbled, the height between his knees and the floor plummeted, and the center of gravity of the whole body was also pulled super low in the moment of stumbling.

With a simple adjustment, Gu Fei adjusted his center of gravity and successfully broke through Kobe's defense, Pau Gasol on the inside had already pounced, Gu Fei did not choose to impact the inside line but simply dealt with it - a stop-and-go jump shot.

"Huh"

The basketball did not disappoint Gu Fei's hopes and smashed into the basket cleanly.

He shrugged at Kobe Bryant, turned and ran to the backcourt. (To be continued.) )
