The World Championships in Turkey left basketball fans with too many memorable games, the Chinese team led by Gu Fei unexpectedly reached the final final, and their opponent was us, this is a world-class matchup but it is only a seemingly equal final, they only have Gu only Yao and what do we have? Every player is enough to be the absolute core of the other teams, and although many people want to see miracles, miracles don't happen all the time.
The mainstream media in the United States, even the Los Angeles media where Gu Fei is located, did not stand on Gu Fei's side, after all, the strength of both sides is placed there, and it is really too difficult for the Chinese team to create a miracle in Istanbul.
"No Proof Required" -- that's the sports headline in the Los Angeles Times.
Gu is good enough, he has proven his greatness to everyone, let us remember this young man who just graduated from the third grade, he has brought too many people hope to bring too many people good memories, we don't need to ask him to do better, people will not forget and deny his greatness because of his national team record, his greatness does not need to be proven, the fact is that he is also great in the national team, I would love to see another great Gu miracle but I know that is very slim, I'll watch the game with appreciation, which attracts billions of fans around the world, and that's enough.
The domestic media almost did not serve anyone, almost everyone had the impression that they dared to put themselves in a high position, and this time they chose to look at it rationally, a praise song to the Chinese soldiers who are about to go to the finals, the members of the Chinese team in Istanbul, West Asia are receiving the final rest, only half an hour before the start of the 2010 World Championships finals.
In the just-concluded semi-finals, East hosts Turkey took advantage of the controversial home advantage to win the re-emerging Serbs to claim third place at the World Championships, and for the first time in the stadium without a host, the stadium looked packed with fans, and it seemed that every cubic metre of air was suffocating.
Gu Fei quietly wiped the little sweat that had just warmed up, his eyes swept over every teammate, even Yao Ming was a little different from usual, Deng Huade's simple arrangement just now seemed to have no effect at all, Gu Fei could feel that the locker room was full of suppressed tension.
This atmosphere is very similar to the atmosphere in the locker room before Gu Fei's first appearance in the playoffs, but it is a little different, but Gu Fei knows that if you don't adjust everyone's feelings and relieve the tension in your heart, they will not be able to play this game that is considered not at the same level by 99% of the time.
As the head coach Deng Huade naturally felt this oppressive atmosphere, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't dispel the tension of the players, maybe because of the language, or because he himself had not experienced any particularly important games, he knew how dangerous this state was for the team, and subconsciously Deng Huade looked at Gu Fei.
And Gu Fei also happened to look at Deng Huade, the eyes of the two people had a brief exchange at that moment, Deng Huade understood what Gu Fei meant, nodded and walked out of the locker room.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
Three consecutive high-fives drew everyone's attention.
Glancing at his teammates, Gu Fei opened his mouth: "They have Kobe Bryant, they have LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Cameron Anthony, Kevin Durant, Chauncy Billups, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Love, Lamar Odom, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, they look invincible, I think we can admit defeat without playing in this game?" ”
"Throw in the towel?"
Everyone looked at Gu Fei who raised their eyebrows and didn't care like a monster, "Could it be that Gu Fei is crazy?" He actually made us throw in the towel en masse. ”
"What do you think of my suggestion? The province went up and lost very badly. Gu Fei continued to say in an indifferent tone.
"Why admit defeat, if you're afraid, you can not fight, cowardice!" Liu Wei stood up and shouted at Gu Fei, but his voice was obviously much weaker when he said the last word, but Gu Fei still heard it clearly.
"Cowardice? Okay, I'm just cowardly, I'm afraid of them, okay? Anyway, you don't want to beat me, but you don't want to be embarrassed alone, rather than fighting so painfully alone, it's better to accompany you to admit defeat, I don't want my agent to find a reason to be hurt, I can still have a good reputation, and it will not affect my status. Gu Fei was like a completely different person, but Yao Ming quickly regained his senses and glanced at Gu Fei, he knew what Gu Fei thought, and after secretly cursing himself for the idea of being afraid of the American team, Yao Ming also stood up.
"Is it too much for you to say that Gu Fei said this? But I don't think, to tell the truth, we are too much worse than Gu Fei, the American team is indeed strong, but we should not be afraid, we have never had such an idea before, I know that everyone is carrying a huge burden in front of the finals, since we know that there is not much hope, we just let go of our hands and feet to fight, it is not a big deal to lose if we lose, not to mention that when we beat the United States, it is not a big deal to lose, this time we will definitely not lose so much is already a kind of progress, if we lose, we will lose, but we must afford to lose, Just play at our own level. Yao Ming's status in the national team is incomparable to Gu Fei, when Yao Ming finished speaking, Wang Zhizhi also stood up and made a statement, and soon everyone changed their minds at least the depressing atmosphere has obviously dissipated, Gu Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth, although the American team is very strong, but with teammates and hard work, maybe you can create miracles, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, isn't it?
"As much as I fantasized about the day, I never expected to see it in my lifetime." Zhang Lili's words quickly eroded the hearts of too many fans as soon as he spoke, although the men's basketball team is stronger than the national football team, but no one dares to imagine that the men's basketball team can one day stand on the final court of the World Series, but today they saw it, although they didn't dare to imagine the final champion, but all this is enough for them to remember, enough for them to move.
"Yes, it's not just us, it's a scene that all the fans can't believe it, but it's so real, it's not easy, maybe some people will say that we rely on the role of a few players and rely on luck, but here we are, really here." Yu Jia also said affectionately.
Istanbul Arena, one of the top stadiums in Europe with a capacity of 29,990 people, has added nearly 3,000 seats today but still fails to meet the needs of fans, and there are still a large number of fans who want to enter the stadium outside the stadium.
"It's time to start!" Gu Fei, who was standing at the head of the team, muttered softly, the stadium outside the players' tunnel seemed a little dim at the moment, but the noise of the whole stadium told Gu Fei that the number of spectators in this game was huge.
Successful in the NBA, Gu Fei is also eager for success in the international arena, before joining the men's basketball team, Gu Fei never thought that he could go to such a point, but when he came to this point, Gu Fei didn't want to give up easily, even if it was difficult and difficult, Gu Fei wanted to fight.
"The long-awaited finals of global fans are finally about to start, and although many people think that the Chinese men's basketball team will lose, I still believe that this will be a game that will go down in the history of international men's basketball." As the on-site narrator, Bill Wharton said.
In the hoarse shouts of the DJ at the scene, Gu Fei trotted out, and the audience resounded with deafening cheers and cheers, which is enough to see Gu Fei's status among basketball fans now.
Gu Fei, who stood on the Chinese bench, lowered his head, waiting for others to play, when the last player of the Chinese team, Yao Ming, came out, the cheers on the scene were obviously a decibel higher, the first player of the American team was LeBron James, when the little emperor James ran out of the player tunnel, Gu Fei immediately felt the battle spirit in James's eyes.
Looking at the confident American team, Gu Fei did not have the slightest timidity, but became excited in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be slowly burning.
"We've got the win!" Kobe Bryant took Durant, James, Wade and other arenas to Gu Fei.
"Hope you can get it." Gu Fei shook his head and responded with a smile, hugged the twelve people of the American team, and then walked to the center of the court to wait for the real start of the game.
"We got the starting lineup lists of both sides, and we haven't changed much, Da Yao, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, who played as a small forward a few times ago, played a scoring guard in this game, and Gu Fei is still playing a playmaking guard." Zhang Li looked at the starting list on the big screen and said.
"The starting lineup of the U.S. team is center Tyson Chandler, power forward LeBron James, small forward: Kevin Durant, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, playmaking guard Chauncey Billups, there is no doubt that this American team has a strong control in both offense and defense, and the start is extremely important, once it falls into the rhythm of the United States, then this game is not playable." Yu Jia continued.
Yao Ming and Gu Fei's teammate Tyson Chandler stood in the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball, compared with Chandler, Yao Ming has an advantage in height, but in terms of bounce power, Tyson Chandler is undoubtedly too strong, Gu Fei didn't think that Yao Ming could win the jump ball, so he simply had another idea.
Honk!
With a whistle, the referee on duty threw the ball into the air, Yao Ming and Tyson Chandler jumped one after another, but as Gu Fei thought, Chandler touched the ball first with a large advantage.
At the moment when the ball was tossed towards Billups by Chandler, Gu Fei started, Kobe Bryant, who was defending Gu Fei, had already sensed a hint of danger, and still couldn't stop Gu Fei's footsteps, and Billups's hand was still a little slower, watching Gu Fei grab the ball in his hand first.
"Jump ball, jump ball without suspense, Tyson has experienced ...... Steal, a steal that belongs to Gu! Bill Wharton's tone changed suddenly.
However, LeBron James, who was not far from Billups, never relaxed his attention, so James reacted immediately and blocked Gu Fei, and it was this block that stifled Gu Fei's original fast attack.
Seeing that the fast attack could not be carried out, Gu Fei simply lowered his speed and waited for his teammates to settle down and engage in positional battles.
"Gu's position as a point guard has become more and more mature, and I think next season, if Gu plays the position of playmaker, he will definitely be the top three guards in the league." Hoffman said with great seriousness.
"Yes, I think so too." Bill Wharton agrees.
dribbling the ball rhythmically, quietly looking at Billups in front of him, not far away Kobe Bryant was eyeing him, and there were Durant and James on the other side, and the corners of Gu Fei's mouth rose slightly.
Positional warfare is undoubtedly a pressure for the United States, after all, Yao Ming has a huge threat in the international arena, and Tyson Chandler is really cautiously staring at Yao Ming to prevent Gu Fei from feeding Yao Ming.
His shoulders began to shake, the ball shuttled back and forth between his hands, and Billups withdrew a little backwards waiting for Gu Fei's movements.
Yikes!
After the sneakers made a rapid friction sound against the floor, Gu Fei rushed directly to the left side of Billups's body, facing Gu Fei's sudden movement, how could an old Jianghu like Billups be thrown away all at once, only to see Billups move quickly sideways.
Does Gu Fei only have such simple actions? Apparently not!
Just when his left foot stepped in front of Billups, Gu Fei slapped a reverse pull ball with his right hand and turned around, everything came so suddenly that Billups could only move his feet in a hurry to deal with it.
When Billups shifted his feet to defend, Gu Fei stopped his turning posture abruptly, directly exerted his left foot, pulled the whole person back, and then jumped backwards pointedly.
Originally, Gu Fei was more than ten centimeters taller than Billups, and with such a sudden jump, Gu Fei soon opened up space between himself and Billups.
Gu Fei's body leaned back, and Kobe Bryant on the side immediately threw Sun Yue, who was on the defensive, and pounced.
Looking at the basket, the smile on the corner of Gu Fei's mouth slowly bloomed, "Enter!" Whispering, his fingers flicked the ball out.
By the time Kobe's palm arrived, the basketball had already flown into the air, flying to the basket not far away.
Swish!
The basketball lived up to Gu Fei's expectations and got into the basket cleanly.
"The first scorer, Gu leaned back, the first attack was successful, I can feel that Gu is not willing to hand over the gun easily, I think Bryant will have big trouble today." Hoffman said with a smile.
Domestic fans cheered at the moment when Gu Fei scored the goal, although this was the first goal of the game, but it had an unusual significance for Chinese basketball fans.
2:0!
Gu Fei got off to a good start for the Chinese team in the final, but it was clear that the American fans and the whole of the United States were not satisfied, and Chandler quickly sent the ball out and Billups dribbled forward.
Gu Fei didn't want to press all over the court, which might have a good effect on ordinary players, but it was clear that Billups didn't belong to the category of ordinary players.
Billups took the ball to the front court and immediately handed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who asked for the ball, and Sun Yue, who was in charge of defending Kobe, suddenly became nervous.
At the beginning, Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers in the second round, although the time in the Lakers was very short, but Kobe's strength Sun Yue knew, if it wasn't for the confidence he had built up on the defensive end in the first few games, then in the face of Kobe Bryant, Sun Yue probably wouldn't be as stable as he is now, but even so, Sun Yue still couldn't stop Kobe's goal, almost the same as Gu Fei's shot just now, it was also a backwards, but Kobe's was his own signature backwards, Kobe Bryant's emergency stop and backwards made Sun Yue feel beyond the reach of the whip.
"Huh!"
At 2:2, both sides successfully scored the first attack of the opening game, and it was only 20 seconds before the start of the game.
However, ten seconds later, the Chinese team took the lead again, Gu Fei quickly brought the ball to the front court and immediately handed it to Yao Ming on the inside, Yao Ming singled Chandler to attract James's bag defense, and Gu Fei began his own running position after handing over the ball, catching Zhu Fangyu's cover Gu Fei's running effect came out quickly, just when James went up to wrap Yao Ming, Gu Fei found a vacancy in the bottom corner, Yao Ming saw Gu Fei run out of the vacant position and immediately passed the ball to Gu Fei.
Run, catch and shoot, this process Gu Fei has already experienced thousands of times, and Gu Fei jumped steadily before Kevin Durant pounced.
"Huh!"
After a perfect arc across the sky above the Istanbul Arena, the hoop was filled with white spray.
"See Gu's arc again, perfect arc, Bill's Gu's arc has become more and more unique in the past two years, and the most beautiful basketball arc in decades seems to me to be Gu's arc." Hoffman looked happy.
"I also agree, I'm glad that I still have a long career as a commentator, if I met Gu at the end of the day, I think I would regret being born early." Bill Wharton exaggerated.
Looking at Gu Fei's back running to the front court, Kevin Durant gritted his teeth, although his progress was fast, it was not worth mentioning compared to Gu Fei, as a genius, Durant did not allow such a situation to exist all the time, so he worked extremely hard.
Durant, who is tall and long-armed, jumped directly on the spot in the face of Zhu Fangyu's defense, and shot directly without any hesitation, Zhu Fangyu looked at the ball and sighed.
Soon there was a crisp sound of wiping the net, 5:5.
Durant made a cool three-point celebration gesture and ran to the backcourt.
"Gu couldn't stop, broke through the emergency stop shot, this was the fourth goal scored by Gu in a row, 12:10, the Chinese team once again took a 2-point lead." Bill Wharton said as he looked at Gu Fei's running figure.
Nine of the 12 points of the Chinese team came from Gu Fei, while the 10 points of the American team came from Kobe, Durant, James, and Billups.
made a comeback again, James, who played the position of power forward, leaned on Yi Jianlian to receive a pass from Billups, and after a flexible turn after shaking his back, he threw Yi Jianlian away, and then scored.
At 12:12, the two sides were tied again.
"This scene reminds me of a story, Sanying vs. Lu Bu." Zhang Reasonable said with some concern.
"We still need more people to come forward, and we can't rely too much on Gu Fei." Yu Jia said seriously, Gu Fei on the field also knew about this situation, and he already had his own plans in his heart. (To be continued.) )
