Chapter 199: The Future of the Clippers

"Gu, what are the goals of the Clippers this season? Is it to devalue New York's draft picks? A white reporter stood up and asked.

"Is that what we are aiming for? Gu Fei looked at the white reporters in the press conference and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Do the Clippers still want to make the playoffs??? There was a palpable display of disdain and even ridicule on the faces of white journalists.

"Is your goal to be a journalist forever?" Gu Fei asked sharply again.

"Rookie's Fantasy - Playoffs" - this is an article written by the white reporter after the game, which unceremoniously satirizes Gu Fei's big words.

Such an article quickly got 95% of the people's approval, even many Clippers fans can't believe that their Clippers can qualify for the playoffs, in a wave of doubts, the Clippers returned to their home court, sitting in Staples to face the Phoenix Suns, the fourth in the West, this season the Suns under the leadership of veteran Steve Nash still have their own running and bombardment, even if O'Neal joined, he did not change his style of play, and O'Neal came to the Suns as if he had a second spring, After joining the Suns, he averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Stoudeye + O'Neal, such an inside combination knows that it is powerful just by looking at the names of these two people, and this is exactly the case, Xiaosi contributed 33 points and 6 rebounds, O'Neal 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the Clippers' center Chris Carman is much more pitiful in comparison, only 14 points and 14 rebounds, and the shooting rate is only a pitiful 13 shots and 5 shots, and Noah, who eats on defense, was also blown up today, In this case, even though Gu Fei broke all the defenders of the Suns and sent 11 three-pointers, Gu Fei missed the most important three-pointer at the last moment, although this is the case, no one blames Gu Fei, because he has done a good enough job, and his 44 points are the highest in the game, but he has no way to save the team. There was silence in the Staples Center, and with a three-point gap, they were just three points away from victory. Everyone saw the weakness of the Clippers' roster.

There is only one Carman on the inside, and although Noah has enough potential and hard enough, this does not hide the fact that he is currently unable to support the Clippers' interior line, except that the Clippers do not even have any substitutes on the inside, even if they are only used for defense. The back line is even more aging, and the young Livingston has also been exhausted of talent after several major injuries, and Gu Fei has carried such a team on his shoulders.

"Gu, will you see the reality clearly and adjust your season goals? Like a rookie of the best? The white reporter who asked questions in Indiana was once again present at the game's post-game press conference.

"I'll get the best rookie, but the playoffs are still our goal," Gu Fei's tone was cold. Dropped a sentence and left the press conference, and soon Gu Fei received a $2,000 penalty notice from the league.

Facing Reality, Surrender or Fight? This is the news headline given by Cheryl Miller: Everyone can see how good the performance of super rookie Gu is, despite the defeat, he will still choose to fight with his head held high instead of bowing his head to accept, almost everyone is laughing at his goal, but how many people see the persistence of a young man, we need such a spirit, not to stifle.

Cheryl's article once again caused a wave of ridicule and scandal, and in the eyes of most people, this is a senior's comfort to children.

And the Clippers team also burst out with huge energy under the stimulation of the outside world and the encouragement of Gu Fei. With five games left in the regular season, the difference between the win and the eighth place in the West has narrowed to two, and Gu Fei still does not dare to relax in the slightest, although he is already exhausted. In these 11 games, Gu Fei played an average of 40 minutes per game, contributed 30 points per game, and hit an astonishing 65 percent of his three-point shots.

And the remaining five games will decide the ultimate fate of the Clippers.

Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Hornets are the Clippers' five remaining opponents, and the first four of these five opponents are direct competitors, while the last opponent is the Hornets who will compete with the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers for first place in the West. There's no doubt that this is a devil's schedule for the Clippers.

Although the Clippers have achieved a record of 10 wins and 1 loss in the last 11 games, many people agree with Gu Fei's persistence and hard work, and many of the media who were not optimistic about Gu Fei have defected. However, there are still many media outlets who are stubbornly resisting. Even though Gu Fei's efforts are obvious to all in the United States, they are still shouting that Gu Fei is an unrealistic arrogant rookie.

However, Gu Fei was too lazy to fight with them anymore, he now hoped that he would seize all the time to rest and train, and just wanted to make himself better, instead of wasting time in this aspect.

On April 3, Staples Center, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets This is a game that both sides do not want to lose, and at the critical moment of the sprint playoffs, although the Nuggets are ranked seventh, they are only 3.5 wins ahead of the Clippers, and only half a win ahead of the Warriors who are ninth in the West, so the Denver people came to Los Angeles with super aspirations.

The intensity of the game can be seen from the fact that the two sides reached 35 tie points in the whole game and the maximum lead difference of no more than 8 points, Gu Fei played a full twelve minutes in the first quarter and scored 10 points, and the center Carman became the biggest reliance of the Clippers in addition to Gu Fei, in the last eleven games, Carman averaged 19 points per game, plus 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he scored 8 points and 6 rebounds again in the first quarter of this game.

In the second quarter, Gu Fei rested for only two minutes and came on the court, using a three-point shot to narrow the gap of five points to two points, and then Gu Fei made another steal and a fast-break layup, not that he didn't want to shoot three points or dunk, but he wanted to choose the most sure and effortless way to complete the offense.

The second quarter became a confrontation time between Anthony and Gu Fei, Anthony scored 17 points, Gu Fei scored 12 points again, and the two sides tied at 57 at halftime.

The third quarter became Carman's showtime, scoring 14 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, and a big double-double of 25 points and 14 rebounds at the end of the third quarter, and the Clippers took a narrow four-point lead amid the roar of the court.

An accident in the fourth quarter made the Clippers close their eyes, and their biggest interior relied on Chris Carman to fall to the ground with a painful injury when he was competing with Camby for a rebound, when the Clippers and the Nuggets tied again, although the Clippers finally relied on Gu Fei to attract the bag and send a key assist, helping Cassel complete a three-point shot to overtake the score, but for the Clippers, the price of victory was a bit heavy. The results of the next day's examination made everyone's hearts sink and the result showed that Carman had a torn ligament in the instep of his right foot, which predicted that Carman would miss at least a month of games before he could return to normal training, and with only ten days left in the regular season this season, it was undoubtedly worse for the Clippers, who were severely starved on the inside.

All of a sudden, the future of the Clippers has become even more unknown! (To be continued.) )
