Chapter 32: The Dilemma (II)
Gu Fei was very distressed, and the second quarter was over, and the Bulls trailed by 6 points at 42-36. It stands to reason that the Bulls are not lagging behind, and they only lost by two more points than in the first quarter, so why is Gu Fei still distressed.
That's because Gu Fei has been sitting below for a long time, and Gu Fei was replaced in 8 minutes in the second quarter. In those four minutes, Gu Fei tried to break through, and his current scoring methods such as mid-range shooting and three-point shooting were unsuccessful.
It should be that the Raptors' defense of Gu Fei is completely targeted, so Gu Fei broke through twice, was capped once, and was fouled by the opponent once, and the three-point change was not given a certain space.
For this kind of defense, Gu Fei is also drunk, this is more of a supergiant defensive defense, I would rather be scored by others than strangle you, but Gu Fei has no ability to pass the ball, so he can't let his teammates score while being strangled.
So Gu Fei didn't get the ball after several unsuccessful attempts, and he was replaced by Scott after a dead ball.
And the reason why the score was not greatly opened was because of Gordon, and it was Gordon who was replaced after Gu Fei was replaced.
And Gordon, who felt bad in the first quarter, was remarkable after he came on the court in the second quarter, and it was precisely because of Gordon's play that he bit the score, which also led Gordon to look at Gu Fei like a winning rooster after the second quarter, holding his head high, and looking down on Gu Fei with his eyes.
However, Gu Fei didn't have time to argue with him now, he had been thinking hard about how to solve the current predicament.
Just as Gu Fei was thinking hard, he heard Scott speak.
"What do you think of the table xiàn in the second verse today?"
Scott didn't comment directly this time, but asked the players to say it themselves, but the Bulls players didn't speak, just looked at Scott, and Gu Fei lowered his head and didn't raise it.
"Since everyone doesn't talk about it, let me talk about it?"
"Do you think you're good, you only lost 6 points after the second quarter, you didn't lose a dozen points, do some people think they're great? Got a lot of points? So why didn't you catch up with the score? ”
As soon as Scott's words came out, Gordon, who was expecting Gu Fei to be scolded, turned pale and sank, "Why does it seem that I have been scolded, and the rookie coach didn't mention him?" ”
And at this time, Gu Fei has another idea, you know that in our Chinese's opinion, if you don't care about you no matter what you do wrong, he doesn't care about you, not saying a word, it means that this person has completely given up on you, and has no expectations for you, Gu Fei saw that Scott did not mention himself at this time, but Scott was like this.
Just in the middle of the confusion, Scott's next tactical play Gu Fei didn't listen to a word, and at some point the lounge was quiet, Gu Fei looked up and found that the coach had stopped.
Just as Gu Fei was about to get up and go to the bathroom, Scott spoke again, and it was specifically for him.
"Gu, if you're okay, come out with me." After saying this, Scott walked out directly, and when he spoke, Scott's face was expressionless without joy or sorrow, and he didn't know what he meant.
Gu Fei had no choice but to follow out, and Gordon began to gloat again.
Gu Fei walked out of the locker room and found Scott waiting for him at the front office door, Gu Fei walked over.
"Coach, what are you looking for from me?"
Scott pushed the door open, "Let's go inside!" ”
Gu Fei had no choice but to follow in again, and closed the door with his hand.
"Gu, tell me about your cousin so far today."
"Coach...... I"
"Nothing to say, didn't you notice a problem?"
"Coach, I saw that the Raptors found my weakness in shooting and deliberately deployed a defense against me, which led me to a bad second quarter."
"Now that you've found out, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, I don't have any other way unless my mid-pitch can get better."
"Now that you know the way, why are you so depressed, isn't it just that the weakness is known? It's not your weakness after strengthening, you're only in your rookie period, and even Jordan has a weakness that was targeted in his rookie period, let alone you? ”
"Coach, I know what you mean, it's just that I can't score all of a sudden, I feel bad, I hope I can help the team."
"You have a lot of potential, you have a strong learning ability, what you have to do now is to improve yourself and then help the team, so you have to calm down, don't suffer from gains and losses because of temporary gains and losses, maybe there is less playing time now but this is to prepare for the future, you are the hope of the team in the future, I hope you can grow up quickly and don't let me down."
Hearing Scott say this, Gu Fei was a little moved, "Coach, I know, I won't let you down." ”
"There is also the need to learn to face pressure, this pressure is mainly from the pressure of the media and fans, because you are a rookie suddenly what the outside world will definitely speculate, and even malicious attacks, there are many NBA players and even stars are ruined by the media, and the praise and exclusion of the media cannot be treated correctly, so you must have a good attitude, you don't need to care, as long as you can show your strength, you can plug their mouths, and your strength in the NBA is a qiē."
"Hmm" Gu Fei just nodded emphatically.
"Finally, I want to tell you that you will not play in this game in the future, and your playing time will not be reduced in the next games, and you will know when your mid-range shooting is no longer your weakness."
Gu Fei nodded again, he didn't have any opinion on reducing the playing time, because he knew that it wouldn't be interesting if he couldn't help the team.
Then Scott and Gu Fei walked out of the room, and it didn't take long for the second half of the game to begin.
Gu Fei sat on the bench and watched the game on the field, and at this time, Noah, who was also not on the court, found Gu Fei.
"Gu, what did the coach call you out for, were you scolded?"
"No, the coach is very good, he is trying to help me solve the problem, he didn't scold me."
"Oh, that's good."
It can be seen from here that Noah is actually relatively simple, whoever is good to him will be good to whom, but sometimes he is a little emotional on the field.
Gu Fei nodded and did not speak again.
Time passed, and the whole game was over, and the Bulls did not achieve a comeback in the end, losing to the Raptors 108-98.
The Raptors' star King Bosh even scored 35 points and 15 rebounds.
After the game, Gu Fei, who rarely received media interviews, was piled up with a lot of long guns and short cannons in front of him today.
"Mr. Gu Fei, can you talk about why you didn't get a chance to play in the second half?" This was asked by a reporter from a newspaper in New York.
"There's no particular reason, it's just the team's tactical arrangement, and it's as simple as that for me to obey the coach's arrangement."
"So, Mr. Gu Fei, can you tell us about the defense that the Raptors deployed against you at the beginning of the second quarter? It seemed like a very successful defense. "This is a very tendentious question from a reporter from Toronto.
"It's also very simple, they find something and they put a defence on that."
"So is that going to be the way other teams deal with you?"
"You just want to tell you that weaknesses can be strengthened, and if the Raptors dare to defend me like this next time they meet, I will make them pay."
The reporter still wanted to ask questions, but the PR of the Bulls team came over, stopped the reporters, and told them to go to the press conference to ask.
Of course, Gu Fei did not participate in the post-match press conference, and now he has begun to practice, and he needs to improve his mid-range shooting in the shortest possible time, and finally before the next game comes.
And the next game of the Bulls will be No. 16 to challenge the Suns on the road, can this be a turnaround for Gu Fei?
To find out what happens next, take a look at the next breakdown.
