Chapter XXXVIII

"Then let's change the tactics, we keep passing the ball, constantly running and cutting open shots and basket opportunities, so you have to run, don't save your body in the fourth quarter, you know?"

Scott didn't ask the players to answer at all, although he used a questioning tone, and I continued: "Now we are 13 points behind, but there is still a quarter to catch up, so you don't rush, play slowly and make sure to find the right shot, don't mess around." ”

Then Scott began to arrange specific tactics, he kept sketching on it with a tactical board, kept talking about something, and the players nodded from time to time.

We write it out here that it feels like a long time has passed, and they have done a lot of things; Actually, a few minutes passed quickly, and the referee blew his whistle again, urging the players to play, maybe the referee also wanted to go home early, right?

The players came on the court, and the Bulls players stood up for their positions and were ready to defend the Suns' offense.

Steve Nash, the NBA's current No. 1 point guard, slowly walked over with the ball and then made a gesture.

Gu Fei looked at the running position of the Suns players, this should be Nash going to play alone.

Sure enough, in the end, all the Suns players concentrated on the weak side, and Nash was left alone on the strong side to single Hinrich.

Nash began to dribble the ball under his crotch, the speed was getting faster and faster, a small step to the right and immediately retracted, and then a small step to the left and immediately returned, and after a few consecutive movements, Hinrich's center of gravity had begun to become unstable.

Seeing this situation, Nash accelerated to the right with an arrow step, and Hinrich immediately moved his center of gravity to block in front of Nash, who knew that Nash put the ball in his hand and completed a turn with his left foot as a support and opened up a certain space for Hinrich.

Nash lifted the ball up to throw, and Hinrich immediately pounced on the defense, and although he couldn't touch the ball, he also covered Nash's eyes.

Judging from the arc and angle of Nash's shot, it will definitely not, Hinrich thought that his defense was successful and called for a "rebound", and then wanted to turn around to look, but he heard a loud "bang" and a wail from the basket.

Hinrich, who had already turned around, saw Marion still hanging from the basket.

It turned out that it was just a look to open the singles this time, in fact, the last to complete the attack was the player under the empty cut basket, Marion moved as early as when Nash really began to break through, and Lore Deng, who was defending him, didn't expect Marion to start suddenly, so it was too late to chase out, and how could Nash, who was already paying attention to the players of the team, let go of such an opportunity, and used a pass that seemed to shoot to complete this exquisite aerial relay after deceiving Hinrich's defense.

In fact, Hinrich's defense can't be said to be a failure, at least he still limited Nash's offense, including the last pass, Nash was also completely blind with his superb ball sense, it is difficult to guarantee that he can do it again without making mistakes, of course, this is also the embodiment of Nash's tacit understanding with Marion.

Looking at Nash Gu Fei, who was celebrating with Marion, he sighed helplessly, "It must be easy to play and score with a point guard of this level." ”

Of course, he was just thinking in his heart that if he said it, he might not be able to receive Hinrich's pass in the future.

In fact, Hinrich is still good, especially his defense, which is completely underrated. He's arguably the best player on the Bulls' perimeter defense.

Okay, let's not show the rest for now, let's look at the Bulls' offense.

Lore Deng holds the ball on the right side of the three-point line to face Marion's defense, Gu Fei stands on the left side of the three-point line in Hinrich, Gu Fei stands in the bottom corner on the right, and Noah and Big Ben on the inside are on both sides of the restricted area, this is the position of the Bulls players.

Then Gu Fei and Hinrich ran to the inside line at the same time, Gu Fei cut inside along the bottom corner, Hinrich cut inside at 45 degrees, and the two changed direction at the same time in the penalty area, running towards each other's original positions, and the Suns players who followed the defense were stopped by Big Ben and Noah.

So Gu Fei and Hinrich both became vacant, and at this time, Lohr Deng, who controlled the ball, shook his hand and gave the ball to Hinrich, who was standing in the bottom corner, raised the ball in his hand and was about to throw, Nash and Bale pounced on him at the same time, but at this time, Hinrich was a wide range of passes, and the ball came to Gu Fei's hands again.

At this time, the closest Suns player to Gu Fei was Xiao Si, who was originally on the inside, and Xiao Si accelerated in front of Gu Fei, completely blocking Gu Fei's shooting possibilities.

However, Gu Fei didn't plan to shoot, so Gu Fei accelerated to the right, and then the ball in his hand left Gu Fei, and the ball hit the floor and came to Noah's hand.

After Xiao Si left, Bell came to Noah's side, but in the face of Bale's defense, Noah chose to ignore it, jumped directly and put the basket with both hands, and Gu Fei got another assist.

The Bulls' coordination this time can be described as smooth, and the pass ball through Guò many times finally got the best chance under the basket, although we seem to have written a lot, in fact, this offense is abnormal flow and concise.

Although this attack was not completed by Gu Fei, Gu Fei was still happy to play this kind of teamwork in his heart, rather than hoping to do it alone, maybe it was because of his personality!

And then in the next few rounds, the Bulls have been playing this tactic, constantly running, passing, passing, and running, always hoping to shoot at the best opportunity, so that the Bulls have an extremely high shooting rate during this time in the fourth quarter, reaching 83%, and only one of these offenses was completed by Gu Fei, and the others were completed by other players separately.

The Bulls slowly closed the gap with their superb success rate, from trailing by 13 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter to only 7 points at 87-80, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Suns suddenly failed to score during this time.

It's the Bulls' offensive time again, and this time Gu Fei wants the ball and prepares to play alone.

After receiving a pass from Hinrich, Gu Fei held the ball on the top arc and faced Bale, which was Gu Fei's second face-to-face single against Bale after the attack in the second quarter.

"Rookie, you still dare to come and beat me alone, aren't you afraid that I will break your ribs?"

"Shut your foul mouth, I'm going to score."

"Rookie, you're too arrogant, I'll make you pay."

Gu Fei didn't pay any more attention to Bell's provocation, but started his own actions.

The left and right hands continued to dribble under the crotch, the speed continued to increase, getting faster and faster, and Gu Fei's center of gravity was getting lower and lower.

Suddenly, Gu Fei rushed out and rushed towards Bell's left.

Bell did not appear on Gu Fei's forward route as expected, perhaps in a daze, anyway, Gu Fei passed Bell in one step, and it was not until Gu Fei had entered the three-point line that Bell began to catch up.

At this time, Xiao Si on the inside line saw that Bale was broken through, and immediately threw off his defensive Noah, and came to the penalty area to wait for Gu Fei's arrival.

Gu Fei saw that Xiao Si, who was waiting in the battle, had no intention of passing the ball, and still killed the inside, but he didn't want to come to Xiao Si's head like those fierce men working in the air.

In a few seconds, Gu Fei and Xiao Si had already met.

Gu Fei leaned on Xiao Si's body, holding the ball with his left hand and stretching out his right hand to separate Xiao Si's body to prevent himself from being blocked.

Just when Gu Fei was about to lay down his hand, he suddenly felt a force behind him grab his jersey and pull it down vigorously.

Gu Fei knew that it was not Xiao Si, because Xiao Si's hands were in his sight, and Gu Fei didn't have time to think too much about throwing the ball to the basket with both hands and falling to the ground.

At this time, Gu Fei had already seen who was pulling his own jersey, it was Bale, who had just been broken through by himself.

"No wonder he let me break through so lightly just now, he must have premeditated."

The more Gu Fei thought about it, the more angry he became, and Gu Fei, who got up, directly stretched out his hands and pushed them on Bell's chest.

I don't know if it was unprepared or deliberately performing, Bell was pushed by Gu Fei and stumbled.

At this time, the Bulls and other players of the Suns also surrounded them, Nash grabbed Bell, and on the Bulls' side, it was Lore Deng who hugged Gu Fei.

However, the other players were not so calm, Noah clenched his fists and wanted to punch Bale, but he couldn't make contact with Dubell and was stopped by the other players of the Suns, and was pulled by the referee who rushed over in the push.

Because the person directly involved was pulled away, the situation was quickly brought under control, but the game was interrupted because of this.

The last three referees repeatedly watched the video and made a decision: Bale committed a first-degree malicious foul; Gu Fei had a technical foul, and Noah also received a technical foul.

In the end, the Suns made free throws by Nash, and the Bulls made free throws by Lore Deng.

And Gu Fei was expelled from the game because of two technical fouls, which is also one of the few expulsions in Gu Fei's career, but in an interview after Gu Fei retired, Gu Fei said that he did not regret doing this, and if he did it again, he would still be like this, of course, this is all for later.

And in the end of this game, the Bulls still lost, and in the end the Bulls lost by 8 points at 108-100; Gu Fei scored 24 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.

And after the game, some people who have been targeting Gu Fei jumped out again because Gu Fei was expelled from the game, and tomorrow may not be so peaceful.
