Chapter 198 is another wave of winning streaks
When Gu Fei woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the morning, and after a simple meal at noon, the Clippers and his party took a plane back to Los Angeles.
Half a day of rest had passed in Dallas, and it was already afternoon when I got off the plane, and the team didn't have any training, so it was disbanded directly after getting off the plane.
"Tomorrow morning, the time will not change, everyone must not be late!" Dunleavy looked in a good mood and said with a smile.
"Got it, head!" The Clippers replied neatly, like a well-trained army.
Gu Fei's off-court life is very simple, when he comes home to watch TV or watch game videos, and then he sleeps, this time he spent the rest time like this, because he had to face Kobe Bryant again, so Gu Fei watched Kobe's highlights again, but found that it was useless!
After the victory over the Mavericks, the Clippers' performance has further improved, and they have moved away from the rhythm of swinging and further improving their ranking in the West, and Gu Fei has been elected the best player of the week in the West for the first time in his career with an average of 25.5 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game in the last week, and Kobe, who also performed well, lost to Gu Fei in this selection, of course, this does not mean that Gu Fei is better than Kobe Bryant now.
On the evening of the 12th, at Staples Arena in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Lakers will host a challenge from their city brothers, the Clippers.
Maybe it's because he lost to Gu Fei in the selection of the best of the week, this time Kobe Bryant came up with 200% energy at the offensive and defensive ends at the same time, maybe after two days of rest, Gu Fei's hot hand has declined a little, not to mention that Kobe can't be restrained in defense, this time he can't compete with Kobe on the offensive end, under Kobe's full care, Gu Fei shot only 5 of 16 shots in this game, only hit one three-point shot, and scored 15 points from free throws, Bryant, on the other hand, hit 18 of his 25 shots in 36 minutes of playing time. Among them, there are 4 three-pointers, plus free throws, a total of 42 points, as well as 7 rebounds and five assists, which can be described as all-round and efficient!
The result of the Clippers when Gu Fei did not play and Kobe Bryant played at full strength is also conceivable, and finally lost the derby battle 112-98.
This game once again exposed the problem of the Clippers, that is, the lack of attack points, and there was no one who could stand up and score continuously when Gu Fei was restricting or feeling bad, which is also the most important problem for the Clippers to solve, and they must solve this problem if they want to go far in the playoffs, of course, they don't have this time now, and it will all have to wait until the summer.
The Clippers are at home and have started their road trip after losing to the Lakers. After leaving Los Angeles, the Clippers won five games in a row under the leadership of Gu Fei, retaining their position in the West and steadily catching up.
When the Clippers with the power of the winning streak came to Detroit again, Hamilton, who had perfectly blocked Gu Fei in the half with his understanding of the running position, completely fell this time, and Prince, the "little prince" who relied on his height and long arms to defend Gu Fei, was also resting, and the Detroit people were as decaying as the Motor City, and the once majestic Iverson sat on the bench of the Auburn Hills Palace with empty eyes and watched the game, and the once crazy Auburn Hills Palace fell.
At 112:100, the difference of only 12 points is not much, but it does not mean that the game is fierce. Because the Clippers relied on the bench to play on the court in the entire fourth quarter, the Clippers widened the gap to 26 points in the first three quarters, so the entire fourth quarter was garbage time, and the whole Clippers team scored double-doubles, and even coolie Powell scored 16 points. And Shaun Livingston dished out a career-high 16 assists.
Gu Fei only contributed 19 points, and he made a career-low number of shots with only five shots, but hit three of them, creating a new low while Gu Fei set a new career high in free throws, and made 11 of 11 free throws in the game. Prince was a tragic five-man foul in the first three quarters, all in just over 20 minutes of playing time.
Gu Fei also handed out 10 assists by the way, in this game. Gu Fei repeatedly shot falsely and then deceived to foul or attract the bag to pass to the empty space.
Poor Prince was given high hopes by Sanders before the game, hoping to successfully prevent Gu Fei, but it turned out that tragedy is everywhere, and passing and cheating fouls made Gu Fei find a new fun.
After the game, the whole world was laughing at Sanders for saying that he would win, and the result was humiliated, it is said that after this game, the Pistons owner and Sanders met, and the rumors demanded that the Pistons reach the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs, otherwise he would be fired, as for the truth of the rumors is unknown, but everyone knows that Sanders' days with the Pistons are coming to an end.
The Clippers, who have won six in a row, visited Milwaukee this time, and the score displayed on the big screen at this time was 120-101
The away Clippers are in front of the Bucks, and this game, which was praised as a derby by the domestic media, is another one-sided slaughter, Yi Jianlian has no place in the starting lineup after returning from injury, the eyebrowless hero Villanueva stood firmly in the start, and Yi Jianlian came off the bench and only got 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Gu Fei got 30 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.
At the 6th minute and 40 seconds of the second quarter with the Bucks, Gu Fei hit a three-point shot from the outside, which allowed Gu Fei to officially tie the rookie single-season three-point shooting record, and only thirty seconds later, Gu Fei suddenly fired more than a meter away from the three-point line and officially wrote his rookie season three-point shooting record on his name, instead of sharing this honor with others, and this game is just the 64th game Gu Fei has participated in, Gu Fei has broken the record, which is enough to see the ferocity of Gu Fei's three-point firepower.
The Clippers are on a seven-game winning streak heading to Indiana Consecco Arena to face the re-emerging Pacers, while the Pacers are ninth in the East and eighth behind the Atlanta Hawks by a small half, and the Hawks need to face the Boston Celtics, the big three in the East, on the same day, and they are facing the Clippers, so the Pacers are full of strength.
Two hours later, the Conseco Arena was silent, Gu Fei stood in front of the technical table with his head held high with his three-point celebration gesture, more than 20,000 people looked at Gu Fei like this, and the Pacers, who were one point behind at the end of the game, still had 4 seconds to create a chance to kill, but Gu Fei, who had just completed the overtaking jump shot, poked the ball out one second before the basketball reached Granger's palm, and used his speed to shake off Granger, who was trying to foul, to complete a three-point whistle. 101:97, this is the final score of the game.
After this game, the Clippers improved their record to 24-41, and the Clippers finished 12th in the West, a full eight wins away from the 36-29 Golden State Warriors in eighth place in the West. With the remaining 17 games, the miracle of qualifying for the playoffs is almost impossible. (To be continued.) )
