Chapter 169: He Can't Stop Me

After losing to the Celtics at home, the Clippers got another day of rest, because the Clippers were still at home in the next game, so they didn't have to fly to other cities, which gave the Clippers players a good rest.

This time, the Clippers' opponents have experienced a back-to-back game, and this time the opponent is not as strong as the Celtics, this time the Clippers face the Portland Trail Blazers.

When it comes to the Portland Trail Blazers, people don't think of the famous name in the history of the team, nor the great season, almost everyone will think of the "center curse" when they think of the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers seem to have an inextricable feud with the center. Back in 1974, the Trail Blazers used their No. 1 pick to select the No. 1 pick, Bill Brown. Wharton, however, was soon hit by injuries before the gifted white center could show the world what he was capable of, with ankle sprains, wrist fractures, dislocated toes, and dislocated fingers. Luckily for Wharton, he briefly overcame injuries in 1977 to lead the team to the first championship in franchise history.

Ten years after picking the top pick at Wharton, the Trail Blazers won another No. 1 pick. Perhaps it was a fateful arrangement that the Trail Blazers gave up the later "God of Basketball" Jordan and stubbornly chose Sam, who is 2.16 meters tall? Bowe, and then the tragedy of the champion center was repeated -- this "bamboo" type player entered the league and suffered one injury after another, from orthopedic surgery to cutting off the bone spur of the big toe to a serious fracture of the tibia in the right foot. Bowe finally took off his Trail Blazers shirt on crutches, a tragedy that was almost repeated

And in 2007 it was staged three times -- the Trail Blazers once again missed out on the strong contender for this year's rookie of the year, future superstar Kevin? Durant, who chose the first-round pick center, Oden. And the legendary "Auden the Great" has now said goodbye to his rookie season directly due to injury, and there is no way to see where the future is!

However, although the Trail Blazers do not have a big center now, this game is still full of highlights. This is, of course, the duel between last season's best rookie Brand-Roy and this season's rookie favorite Gu Fei, and the two have already met once in the All-Star Game, and the result of that time was of course Gu Fei won, so this duel between the two has also attracted the attention of the outside world.

On the evening of the 28th, the Staples Arena game went on as scheduled!

The starting lineup that the Trail Blazers field today is: Jarett Jack. Brandon Roy, Martel Webster, Aldridge. In the centre, Joel Puzbilla.

The Clippers' starting line today is a little changed, Thorton replaces Margetty as the team's starting small forward, and the Clippers' starting lineup becomes: Kassel, Gu Fei. Thornton. Carman, Noah five, and Margeti was the team's sixth man to lead the bench as Dunleavy requested before the game, and was the core scorer in the bench lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Noah overpowered Puzbilla and jumped to the ball, and the Clippers launched the first offense of the game!

Cassel dribbled to the front court, stopped outside the top arc of the three-point line and found that it was Roy who came to defend him, and with a flick of his wrist, he distributed the ball to Gu Fei on the left side.

Gu Fei looked at Jack in front of him and couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that Roy should be the one who is opposite him, how did he become this strong point guard. However, Gu Fei thought about it and understood that this should be arranged by their coach, as for why it was arranged like this, Gu Fei was probably because he was afraid that Roy would consume too much physical strength on the defensive end, just like Kobe Bryant in the last Lakers game, of course, these are just Gu Fei's guesses.

Jack Gu Fei is still more familiar with this player, Jack has a strong and athletic body, enough to cope with the strength of a tall guard and the speed of a short guard, the development is more versatile, the style of play is unpretentious, the scoring ability is strong but the pass is the first. In addition to cutting into the back layup, the main offensive means are also good at using the advantages of size and physical fitness, jumping up and eating shorter or thinner guards in the middle of the march to create opportunities to play three-pointers, but the range and outside shooting rate are only average in the NBA and need to be further improved. He is stable in terms of on-court leadership and offensive tempo control, is good at controlling positional battles, and has a high free throw shooting percentage. Defensively solid, he is good at judging and cutting off the opponent's passing paths, but he will struggle to move laterally against a defender who is particularly fast. He's the kind of playmaker who needs to keep possession for long periods of time and wait for the right moment to provide assists for the team, and he's very competent in that regard, but not the type of defender who is very good at creating chances for his teammates with his passes.

"Kenny, do you think Gu will win this competition? Gu Ke defeated the Black Mamba in the last game, do you think he can have a good performance in the face of the Yellow Mamba this time? "This time the commentary is still a combination of Barkley and Smith, and Barkley threw such a question at Smith at the beginning.

"Judging from the current performance of the two, the two should be comparable in terms of scoring, Roy's mid-distance is more stable, and Gu needless to say is definitely three points, as for defense, Roy should surpass Gu, but this is Roy's second season Gu is the first season, from this point of view, Gu should not fall behind, after all, after a season, we still need to wait and see what Gu will evolve to!" Smith analyzed the situation of the two very rationally under Barkley's question, and in four words, it is - no black, no blow!

Although Roy didn't come to defend himself, Gu Fei didn't have the slightest intention of being soft, and looked at Jack in front of him, and Gu Fei began to move.

Several consecutive tentative steps and false movements did not deceive Jack, remembering that Jack had some problems with lateral movement, Gu Fei decided to give it a try, took a big step with his right foot, and at the same time shook his wrist and the basketball hit the floor, accelerating to the right to make a gesture to break through from the right, of course Jack hurriedly moved his steps higher, and now Gu Fei's speed is still no problem.

Jack was able to keep up, Gu Fei was not the slightest surprised, if he could get rid of him in this way, the Pioneers would not send him to defend themselves. But immediately Gu Fei had a new move, a large body forward change of direction of the basketball was handed over to the left hand, and the left foot was also quickly stepped out, Jack also immediately adjusted his center of gravity to block in front of Gu Fei again, but in front of Gu Fei's change of direction, Jack was already half a step slower, and Gu Fei's action was not over yet.

Seeing Jack follow up again was also expected by Gu Fei, and then Gu Fei dribbled the ball behind his back, and the basketball returned from Gu Fei's back to the right hand without the slightest pause, and the left foot was pulled directly out of the right and the right foot had already stepped out, Jack saw Gu Fei change direction again, and immediately wanted to adjust the center of gravity to keep up again, although he adjusted his steps, Gu Fei had already grabbed the short gap in his adjustment and erased it with his speed.

Throwing off Jack, Gu Fei did not choose to kill the inside, but chose an emergency stop jump shot in front of the free throw line, the basketball accurately hit the basket, and the white waves made the fans cheer.

Turning around, when passing by Roy, Gu Fei left such a sentence.

"Why don't you defend me? You see, he can't stop me! (To be continued.) )

PS: There will be three shifts today, and I will try my best to ensure two shifts in the future, but if you are delayed because of something, please forgive me, thank you for your support!
