Chapter 385: Fierce Competition (3)
"Yes, the Clippers' stable lineup and the right mix of players ensure that they can sustain the lead when they are ahead, and the 10-point advantage may not seem like much, but it is undoubtedly a headache for the Clippers' opponents, and they have to catch up, and once it gets to the fourth quarter, this lead will be fatal. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info "Hoffman couldn't agree more with Bill Wharton.
The game is still going on, Gu Fei's outstanding performance has given Doug Rivers a headache on the sidelines, the North Shore Garden Arena seems to have lost some of its original vitality, Pierce coldly glanced at Artest on the opposite side, his offense has also been greatly limited in the past few minutes, but he must stand up when the team is behind.
Pierce took Ray Allen's pass, and the standard three-threat move faced Ron Artest, who found confidence in these attacks and defenses, and stuck to Pierce with his open arms, hitting Pierce with his strong chest muscles, so that Pierce couldn't feel comfortable for a second, which is what Artest thought.
Pierce carried Artest's chest on his shoulder, and his afterglow scanned the situation on the court, and his shoulder hit lightly, opening up the defensive distance between him and Artest, and the continuous shooting feints made Artest dare not stick too hard.
Pierce didn't speak, and after shooting a cold look in his eyes, he looked at Artest, who was defending him.
Artest could sense that Pierce's attack was coming, and his whole attention was also focused, and his expression looked very serious and cautious, looking at Pierce's whole body and trying to find a gap.
Suddenly Pierce made the next move, his shoulders shook again, and the basketball quickly passed back and forth under Pierce's crotch, Artest chose to take a small step back with his defensive experience, and the experience gave him the feeling that Pierce was ready to break through, so he was ready to block Pierce's breakthrough at any time, Pierce's breakthrough speed was not fast, but he was very good at squeezing away the defenders with his strong body and then throwing off the defense and shooting.
Artest's defensive idea was not wrong at all, but Pierce did not make the offense that Artest guessed, and when Artest made such defensive moves, it undoubtedly gave Pierce space to shoot, albeit small but enough for Pierce.
When Pierce saw Artest retreating at the same time, the whole person retreated violently after a breakthrough feint, Artest's intuition told him that it was not good, at this moment Pierce jumped up directly in front of Artest, watching Pierce raise the basketball in his hand high, Artest immediately pounced.
βSHITοΌβ
Artest scolded in a low voice, kicked the ground with both feet, jumped up, and stretched out his arms as much as possible to interfere with Pierce's shooting, Artest's bouncing ability was average, Artest could only interfere as much as possible with such progress, Artest's palm had not yet reached Pierce's eyes, and Pierce had already thrown the ball.
Artest watched as the basketball leaped high above his fingers, and the defensive feeling of the previous few minutes was shattered in an instant.
"Huh!"
The basketball made a perfect arc in the North Shore Gardens and then got into the hoop cleanly, and the old arena, which had lost a trace of life, was revived.
Paul ...... Pierre...... The hoarse shouts of the live DJ at North Shore Garden aroused the passion of the fans, and although the Celtics were still on the beaten side, Pierce's goal certainly eased the team's difficult situation and regained confidence.
"A beautiful step-back three-pointer, PP is like calculating the angle, clean and hollow into the net, this is the absolute leader of the PP Green Shirts, and he is proving with his actions that it will not be so easy to beat the Green Shirts." Hoffman couldn't help but applaud Pierce's shot.
"Andrey!"
Gu Fei shouted at Andre Miller, Pierce's counterattack is more interesting, if it is very easy to win, Gu Fei will even feel that the game has lost fun, the more fierce the game, the more Gu Fei can feel the excitement in his heart is difficult to suppress.
Andre Miller passed the ball directly to Gu Fei, Gu Fei received the pass in one step outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Pierce posted it again, and Ray Allen went to mark Artest, and it was Ray Allen's task to prevent Artest from getting an empty opportunity.
Pierce not only needs energy on the offensive end, but also a lot of effort on the defensive end, which is undoubtedly a huge test of his fitness, but in the first two games, Pierce has done a good job in physical control.
"Facing PP's defense again, will Gu fight back? Before the game, Gu said that if you want to win the game, to be honest, the Clippers do have this strength, but it doesn't mean that they will be able to do it. Bill Wharton said with emotion.
Although he and Pierce have not played 30 times but 20 times in this game, and there have been more than a dozen direct offensive and defensive face-to-faces, and the offensive success rate is still very high, Gu Fei did not despise Pierce's defense because of this.
A confident smile appeared on the corner of Gu Fei's mouth, and he also made the most basic three-threat move.
Looking at Pierce's standard defensive movements, Gu Fei stabilized his body's center of gravity after two consecutive tentative steps, his wrist flicked and the basketball landed while his whole body shook, the basketball shuttled back and forth flexibly under his crotch, and slowly Gu Fei turned around and directly pasted his back to Pierce.
"Back to the three-point line?" Many fans immediately popped up such words in their minds.
Pierce listened to his chest and hit Gu Fei little by little, trying to disrupt Gu Fei's dribbling rhythm, one hand to maintain aggression towards Gu Fei's dribble at any time.
Bowing his body, his butt slammed backwards, his right wrist shook inward, and the basketball hit the floor, Pierce didn't think much about it, and still maintained his defensive rhythm, but at this moment, the basketball hit the middle of the two people's bodies, and bounced from Gu Fei's crotch to the front.
At this moment, the left hand took the ball with the momentum, and Gu Fei's whole person hit backwards and turned around and jumped directly, there was a small gap of half a body between Pierce and Gu Fei, but once Gu Fei was allowed to take the lead, the average player could only try to interfere with Gu Fei's shooting sight, but more even Gu Fei's sight could not interfere, and could only be pinned on Gu Fei's own poor hand.
When Pierce reacted and pounced, Gu Fei had already found the best shot point in the air, and the perfect short stay in the air gave people the most intuitive enjoyment, and the wrist pressed down and the fingers gently flicked to meet Pierce's eyes and quickly removed the ball from the palm.
Despite Pierce's best jumping defense, he still couldn't stop Gu Fei's shot.
The basketball slipped into the hoop without the Boston fans being silent.
"Another beautiful goal, let's watch the replay and how Gu did it." Bill Wharton didn't control his excitement at all, watching the replay on the big screen, "It's really full of imagination, ordinary people don't dare to try it so easily, but this also shows how strong Gu's dribbling ability is, just such a little distance in the middle was used by Gu." β
Switching offense and defense, Pierce made a comeback again, and Artest met again, Gu Fei, who was not far from the two of them, had not left Pierce's body in the corner of his eyes, ready to go up to make up for the defense at any time, he felt Pierce's self-confidence from Pierce's body, when a superstar is full of confidence, he can always talk about decay into magic, and Gu Fei hopes to defeat the Celtics in one fell swoop, so he hopes to make the Celtics' offense become iron through his own efforts.
Pierce leaned sideways on Artest, dribbled with his right hand, and beckoned to Garnett on the inside with his left hand.
Garnett saw Pierce's gesture and immediately pushed away Tyson Chandler's defense and ran towards Pierce.
Gu Fei glanced at Ray Allen in front of him, his body seemed to inadvertently turn slightly to Pierce's side, and when he saw Garnetra come out and stand in a fixed position, Pierce immediately collided with Artest and broke through with the help of cover, Gu Fei turned around and chased after him as soon as possible, "Ron, Ray is handed over to you!" β
Pierce, who got rid of Artest, made a direct emergency stop, and with the sound of the friction between the sneakers and the floor, Pierce jumped up, Tyson Chandler jumped up in front of Pierce, Pierce looked fearless, and the whole person leaned back.
"Be careful!" Garnett reminded aloud.
Before Pierce could react, the ball had not yet left his hand, and his big yellow-skinned hand was pressed on it.
Syllable!
The ball in Pierce's hand, who was caught off guard, was instantly knocked down by Gu Fei.
The basketball smashed on the floor with a muffled sound, rebounded, and bounced out after smashing on Gu Fei, who was falling down, and Tyson Chandler took the ball in his hand and passed it to Gu Fei as soon as possible.
After receiving the ball and turning to speed up, Gu Fei completed it in one go.
However, the timely return of Ray Allen and Rajan Rondo deprived Gu Fei of his best opportunity to attack quickly, and Gu Fei simply slowed down his pace and suddenly turned his fast attack into a positional battle.
"Timely supplemental defense, this is Gu on the defensive end, all-round offensive and defensive." Hoffman said.
"Tyson!" Gu Fei shouted at Chandler and clenched his left hand into a fist in the air.
Tyson Chandler was a little surprised, but quickly adjusted and pulled to a place two steps away from the penalty area, at which time Gu Fei hoisted the ball in.
"Let Tyson attack? Wouldn't such a decision be a bit of a thoughtless one? Bill Wharton raised his own questions.
Gu Fei's pass also made Pierce let go of his burden a little, not to mention Chandler's offensive means in the face of Garnett's defense, Pierce didn't have to think about it to know what the result was.
Chandler booed Garnett's defense with his back twice amid the boos of nearly 20,000 fans at the North Shore Gardens, and Garnett barely did not, but Tyson Chandler had no intention of doing so, and kept his eyes on the middle.
At this moment, Gu Fei above the top of the arc suddenly ran and changed direction, and Pierce didn't expect to be shaken off by Gu Fei subconsciously.
Bypassing Pierce Gu Fei cut directly to the inside from the middle, and Tyson Chandler, who singled Garnett on his back, made a big hook.
"Rebound!" Garnett was 100% sure that Tyson Chandler's ball was a pure mess.
"Gu!" Hoffman lengthened his voice, only to see Gu Fei take a big step in the free throw line and jump into the air, meeting the ball sent by Chandler with both hands.
Perkins wanted to take off the ball in the air, but he could only act as Gu Fei's background board, and after hitting Perkins with his knees, he pressed Perkins and smashed the ball into the basket.
Perkins' sturdy body collapsed, the entire North Shore Garden Arena fell silent again, and Gu Fei descended on Boston again like a god of war.
With a fierce pull of both hands, he jumped down from the basket, the reaction on the scene made Gu Fei very satisfied, turned around and walked to the middle circle, Gu Fei raised his right hand, and slowly put his index finger to his mouth.
Seeing Gu Fei's arrogant movements, the silence of the North Shore Garden was quickly replaced by noisy boos, but Gu Fei didn't care, the boos were more like a spur to him.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers took a 16-point lead, and Gu Fei alone contributed 25 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 3 steals, almost completing the legendary 5*5 in the half.
There was silence in the home team's dressing room, and Doug Rivers walked into the dressing room with a face on his face.
Twenty minutes later, the game started again, and at halftime, Rivers emphasized that the most was to defend Gu Fei, but is it that simple? (To be continued.) )
