Chapter 205: The Final Battle of the Regular Season (5)
"Gu! THREE…… POINTS......" The Staples Live DJ roared hoarsely.
"Beautiful pull-up three-pointers, three-pointers without warning, there is a big difference between his high arc and Maddie's pull-up, Gu's shooting arc is higher, which can make up for his bounce when he shoots dry-pull, it is easy to avoid the opponent's block with a back, a smart player He has been proving with his actions that the Clippers are not a team to be slaughtered!" Van Gundy immediately compared Gu Fei with his former rocket favorite Maddie, and praised it by the way.
And with Gu Fei's three-point hit, the Clippers officially tied the score.
The game continued, but the situation on the court fell into a state of balance, although the Clippers maintained a very high offensive efficiency under the organization of the backcourt, but the excellent performance on the offensive end could not hide the weakness of the Clippers on the defensive end, and the best defensive performance of the Clippers was Gu Fei, who was mainly attacking, and the Hornets' internal advantage was obvious compared to the Clippers, David West and Tyson Chandler did not fall into a slump because of Gu Fei's opening blows, One offense and one defense directly pressed the Clippers' poor interior all the way, but they also had no way to take the Clippers' outside line, and the whole situation on the court fell into a state of balance, and when the game reached the end of the third quarter, the Hornets who were fighting away had a 6-point lead.
The Clippers are Thorton attacking with the ball at this time, but Morris Peterson sticks to him like a dog skin plaster, for the current Thorton, he is not enough to beat Pearson 100%, after receiving Gu Fei's pass, he can't get rid of Pearson's defense, not only because Pearson can defend but also because Pearson has the experience of old players.
The ball was consumed in Thorton's hands for nearly 10 seconds, and Thorton still didn't find a good way to attack, and at this moment, Thorton's afterglow saw Gu Fei coming around through Powell's block, and Thorton immediately passed the ball over like a hot potato.
But Thorton, who was a little anxious, handled the pass a little poorly. Gu Fei almost didn't receive the ball, and it was because it took a short time to adjust after receiving the ball that Gu Fei lost a great shooting opportunity, and at this time Butler had re-defended.
At this time, there were only 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Chris Paul also dropped Livingston, who lacked shooting ability, and pounced on him, without any hesitation, after Gu Fei's flickering shooting action, he collected the ball with lightning speed, and gave it directly to Livingston, Livingston knew that his shooting ability was lacking, so he cut directly from the middle to the inside without the slightest pause, and Gu Fei's just right pass made him, a legitimate point guard, secretly praise.
Paul, who pounced on Gu Fei and pounced halfway, immediately turned around and chased Livingston. At this time, Paul has long been unable to catch up, and can only expect his interior teammates to defend against Livingston's attack.
David West's flaws at this time are reflected, his offense is undoubtedly in the forefront of the big forward, but his defense is undoubtedly unqualified to check with the standards of the power forward, the eye defense is obviously unable to prevent Livingston's breakthrough, maybe he is worried about missing Powell, in short, he watched Livingston enter the interior line, and this is the time to reflect the role of Chandler, a high school student who entered the league with a high pick.
Chandler has let go of his defensive muscles, and as a center forward and a defensive center forward, he has taken on the responsibility of guarding the penalty area. What's more, his partner is still David West.
Livingston gradually got rid of the injury after Gu Fei came to the Clippers, and even with the help of Gu Fei, he slowly overcame the fear of injury, seeing Chandler's supplemental defense, he didn't mean to pass the ball, of course, it was also related to the lack of time left, at this moment Livingston only had the basket in his eyes.
"There are always people who play an immeasurable role. Just like Americans often say that the team has a chemical reaction, and Gu Fei is undoubtedly the catalyst of the Los Angeles Clippers, just look at Livingston to know the role of Gu Fei, this ball Livingston played very decisively. Of course, there's a little story here......," Zhang said with a smile.
As if God was going to deliberately get along with Mr. Zhang Lili, Livingston fearlessly faced Chandler and jumped. The emaciated body collided with the equally not strong but muscular Chandler in the air. At this time, many Clippers fans were afraid to watch it, they were afraid to see another terrifying scene on Livingston, Chandler raised his big hand high and looked hideous, and Livingston leaned back to perform a move that a basic guard would do - a peerless small throw, and his body was almost 60 degrees to the ground
Livingston has a high shot and a high basketball arc, but he faces Tyson Chandler, a defensive center with a 7-foot reach and terrifying physical fitness.
Although Livingston's shot and arc were high, it was still touched by Chandler's fingertips, and with Chandler's point, the basketball immediately changed its original trajectory.
"Rebound"
Tyson Chandler shouted, David West, who was guarding the basket, jumped up, and by this time Chris Paul was ready to go down, and Mr. X-Men successfully grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball directly to the front court with a long throw.
"Perfect center defense, Chris Paul has been activated, it's a good opportunity for a fast break, and the Hornets should play like this," Coach Zhang said again, showing his profound basketball knowledge.
Paul's speed can be imagined, at this time the Hornets Pearson and Butler have given up on following the fast attack, they believe that their leader Paul can easily handle this fast attack.
And the players of the Clippers team except for Gu Fei have all given up defense, and Paul is far from expecting that someone will be able to catch up, so the speed is naturally not the fastest, and Gu Fei naturally chased with all his might.
"Gu didn't give up, even though the chance of defending the ball was slim, but Gu's spirit of not giving up is worth learning from all players," Barkley commented.
As Barkley said, God likes people who are prepared and never give up, Gu Fei has never given up, the frequency of his legs is getting faster and faster, his stride is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between him and Paul is getting smaller and smaller.
But when Paul crossed the free throw line, Gu Fei had just crossed the three-point line, and Paul also spotted Gu Fei early, jumped up and threw his hand, and the basketball flew to the basket.
Just when Paul stepped into the free throw line and jumped out of one step, Gu Fei and Paul's bodies staggered half of their bodies, and the muscles in their calves were extremely distinct at this moment. (To be continued.) )
