Chapter 205 015: Highland War
Anthony never expected that they tried their best, but it was still hard to find a victory at the Staples Center.
Had to return to the home court with a big score of 0-2.
For the Nuggets players, the Denver Plateau home court is a place where they can temporarily avoid the edge.This edge is naturally a combination of offense and defense, and Gao Fei, who poses a greater threat than Kobe.
Back to last night!
Goofy looked radiant as he stood on the court in a high-end custom black suit.
David Stern took two trophies, one is the best defensive player, and the other is the regular season MVP trophy.He handed them over twice, to their real owners.
This is not only a heavy trophy, but also countless sweat, blood and tears behind it.
High-flying black fans have always used personal awards to belittle them.It will still be dark in the future, but the material will become less.
Basketball players ultimately rely on the game to respond to doubts.
"I have been on the road of basketball for many years, and I finally met you here." Gao Fei held a black microphone and stood on the floor with the Lakers logo, sharing the story of his arrival with the fans.
Gao Fei is like a rock star from a foreign land, his popularity is invincible, and the cheers from the scene deeply shocked the hearts of the Nuggets players.
"Someone once said that God's gift has already been marked with a price in secret." After the sound of the scene fell, Gao Fei continued to talk, "I am a young man from afar. My style, ready for a championship."
Gao Fei's personal style is still distinct enough, and he keeps it simple, even saving a lot of words in his acceptance speech.
The Nuggets really wanted to pull the Lakers off their horses, but after 48 minutes of fighting, it was still a short game.
Back in the moment, Anthony drove to the Pepsi Center.
George Karl is a very old-fashioned coach who sometimes wants to use unconventional means.After calming down, I found it difficult to do it.
Duntai Jones is a weapon that can be used. It is not as dirty as Bowen, but it can also get dirty.
"Deng Tai, when you are defending, don't refuse small moves." George Karl said, "This is nothing in the 90s. You can watch how the Pistons dealt with Michael Jordan. I don't ask you to achieve it, but fouls and defense You must be ruthless."
Dengtai Jones originally didn't want to use violence against the Lakers' double guards. The team was on the verge of crisis, and after all, there was no way to keep it decent.
After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, David Stern decided to improve the image of the players and was very strict about malicious behavior.During the regular season, there is basically no living space for this kind of action.
Already in the semi-finals, some unconventional means must be used.
The Lakers have not been idle either, with high-intensity confrontation training, trying to adapt to the hypoxia brought about by the plateau environment.The changes in the basketball game will be experienced on the training ground.
The game is to play something that has been practiced on the training ground. The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to perform in actual combat.
"Run!" Master Zen led the players to run back and forth continuously.
When Gao Fei puts on the training suit, he will forget all his identities.Put your head down into training, adjust as much as possible, and strive to perform in line with your worth.
He was a rookie before, even if he performed abnormally, he didn't have too many harsh voices.Now that the status is completely different, the burden on the shoulders will naturally be heavier.
The Pepsi Center hangs posters, and the enlarged images of the Nuggets players show the attitude of the city.
No matter how many fans the Lakers have, at the Pepsi Center, they are at most a guest.
"Tom, what color jersey will you wear tomorrow night?" Gao Fei asked about tomorrow's overview when he finished training and handed the training uniform to the equipment manager.
"Purple away jersey." Tom is the equipment manager and has a good relationship with Gao Fei, and he replied with a smile on his face.
Gao Fei and his teammates took the bus back to the away hotel. Since no one came to Denver with him, they deliberately went back to the small room.
When he first came to the United States to play, he liked living in this kind of place where there was no distraction.
The slam dunk comic book in the backpack lay quietly, was picked up by Gao Fei, and lay on the table.
Gao Fei saw basketball that was not polluted by economic interests, and regained the passion he had when he was in the recession.No matter what experience the Nuggets players have had, it is impossible to be more difficult than him.
"Since you're here, don't let yourself down." Gao Fei was immersed in the comics all afternoon, and before he knew it, night fell.
Beep!
Three knocks on the door!
Gao Fei put the comic back into his backpack, opened the door, and saw Kobe standing outside the door.
"Did you go to practice again?" Gao Fei could smell the faint scent of shower gel on Kobe's body.Normally, there is no need for a shower in the afternoon.
"Let's go to dinner." Kobe planned to talk to Gao Fei, so he came to invite him.
Goofy closed the door, and went to a restaurant near the hotel with Kobe.
"Why did you go back to the small room?" Kobe was curious.
"I'm standing on the top of the mountain now, feeling a little flustered, and I need something to remind me of the old days." Gao Fei explained, "It's a very common saying not to forget the original intention, but it's still a little difficult to really do it."
Kobe and Goofy entered the restaurant and were treated by the honored guests.The usual away cities would not do this.
"Gao, this may be the last two games you played in the Pepsi Center, don't you want to leave a mark?" Kobe is a very open-minded person. Although he was a bit paranoid in the training ground, he didn't have that kind of trait when he was away from basketball.
"It doesn't matter." Gao Fei heard Kobe's suggestion and said, "For basketball players, the most important thing is victory or defeat. Stand on the court, and then do everything you can to bring victory to the team. This is our value .”
"Do you think so?" Kobe knew that there would be different courts in the Olympics, and wanted to hear more about Gao Fei's basketball philosophy.
"Our side is more traditional. First of all, we think that basketball is a team sport. No matter how big the brand is, it will not override the authority of the coach." Gao Fei first accepted the menu handed by the waiter, and after ordering, he continued, "Although I may be better than Zen Master, but more often than not, I still respect him."
"How about playing under a regular coach?" Bryant asked.
"They will control the rotation and timeout, and I will be in charge of the tactics." Gao Fei replied with a smile, "In general, everything is for victory. Unless the coach's level is higher than mine, I will not intervene in these matters."
"You just worry about your life."
"So I decided to retire and get ready to enjoy life."
Kobe and Gao Fei have similarities in their personalities, saying: "Even if you retire, you will continue to work hard. Can you let go of so many business matters?"
"I can't let it go." Gao Fei smiled to himself and said, "It seems that my life will not be too easy."
"Haven't you seen Spider-Man? With great power comes great responsibility."
……
Pepsi Center!
As night fell, lights shone from all directions.The bus stopped outside the arena, and the players got off one after another.
There was a drizzle in the sky, soaking the road, but it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the fans.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. For a player of Gao Fei's level, if he wants to stay away from the news of the basketball circle for a while, it is impossible for reporters to know about it.
Nuggets fans all know that Gao Fei is a highly entertaining player, regardless of the ticket price, his enthusiasm is irresistible.
Wearing a hat, Gao Fei walked into the player tunnel with his head down, and under the guidance of the staff, he walked into the brightly lit locker room of the visiting team.
The Nuggets officials respect Kobe and Goofy very much, and the conditions in the visiting team's locker room are pretty good.Although it is incomparable with the home court, having a chair is considered a special treatment.
The reporters frantically tried to squeeze into the locker room and fight for the opportunity to interview Goofy.
The Lakers staff stopped outside and kept communicating with the reporters, asking them to wait for the post-game press conference.
Anthony walked into the arena, thinking he was staying at the Staples Center.He had never seen such a scene in the visiting team's locker room.
"The Lakers' double guards are really popular." Billups communicated with Anthony without being too nervous before the start of the game, "Is this battle a bit like a concert scene?"
"Don't say it, it's a bit like it." Anthony had to admire Billups' metaphor.
They walked into the locker room and found that George Karl was ready.
"Cameron, Chauncey, you came at the right time. I am talking about the intensity of the players. No matter whether they can win or not, they must not let them go down the plateau easily."
"To put it bluntly, it's hand-to-hand combat." Anthony wore a particularly loose suit, with a hip-hop look, and easily responded to the old coach's words.
"That's exactly what it means."
"Then let's go. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the Nuggets track and field team really has never scared anyone."
"It's right to have this mentality. Even if you can't stop the Lakers, you have to let them take off their skin." George Karl has led the professional team for so many years, has experienced countless failures, and is not afraid of troughs.
Gao Fei ran into the stadium and immediately felt the warm atmosphere of the scene.
Even if there are Lakers fans, they keep a low profile and do not go against the general trend.
Gao Fei wears two bracelets on his left hand, one is the exclusive bracelet with his personal logo printed on it, and the other is the style he wore during his rookie season.He deliberately took it out of the collection box, with the purpose of retrieving the unstoppable passion at the beginning.
During the warm-up session, everything went step by step.
The Nuggets will wear white jerseys against the Lakers from afar.
In the introduction session, the powerful music and passionate voice made the names of the Nuggets players sound like big bosses in comics.
Dan Crawford stood on the sidelines with a whistle on his chest, looking at these giant players, he felt the wind and rain coming.
Gao Fei stretched his ligaments, entered the state early, took off his warm-up suit, and fastened the belt on his ball pants.
From touching basketball to becoming a superstar.He has played nearly a thousand games, practiced tens of thousands of times, and there are millions of shooting drills to say the least.
This is what he is good at and what he loves most.
Gao Fei didn't have many opportunities to play in the Pepsi Center, and the deepest impression was the plateau anoxic environment here.For the players, it is a bit like going through a triathlon. There is no certain number of who can survive.
Odom and Nene stood on both sides of the center circle printed with the Nuggets logo, lowered their center of gravity, and prepared to compete for the opening ball.
"Gao Fei wears two bracelets today, which may have a special meaning." Yu Jia explained the game.
Teacher Su was a guest, and said: "Gao Fei has a habit, the color of the jersey, the bracelet and the sneakers are the same style. I can't see it clearly, but the second bracelet looks like the style of the rookie season."
"It's possible." Yu Jia explained that the Lakers played many games and was familiar with Gao Fei's equipment.
Billups gets the ball and the game starts, turning the announcer's attention from the accessories to the court.
Anthony has a strong body, received the ball in the frontcourt, and first used his body collision to break the defense.
Gao Fei does not suffer in strength, and his height is a little disadvantaged, but with the support of defensive skills, it is difficult to easily use physical confrontation to gain an advantage.Unless the big center is playing in a misplaced position, it is basically empty talk.
"Cameron came up to find a physical confrontation. This is George Karl's arrangement before the game. He wants to use frequent collisions to increase the advantage brought by the plateau home court." Teacher Su analyzed in terms of physical fitness.
"The Nuggets have lost two games in a row, and they really need to change." Yu Jia agrees with Mr. Su's opinion.
Anthony turned around and shot a jumper. He used too much force in front of him, which affected his shot and failed to score!
clang!
"Is this your coach's response?" Gao Fei saw Odom protecting the defensive rebound, saw through George Karl's thoughts, and immediately thought of a countermeasure.
Running without the ball is one of the strategies to avoid physical confrontation. Gao Fei and Odom took the ball at a high position and started running immediately.
Kobe is also a threat point, also running, involving the Nuggets defense.
Although the individual singles looks refreshing, after all, there are slightly fewer changes and the difficulty of defense is relatively low.For Gao Fei who pursues change, this offensive method is a late choice.
Odom has a lot of passing options, and instead of finding a double guard, he passes to Luke Walton.
Goofy was standing in the right corner, and suddenly started running again, slipping Dengtai Jones who was defending him into a mess.
Luke Wharton, who has a top golfer, found Gao Fei's opportunity and immediately passed the ball.
Dengtai Jones wanted to defend again, but it was too late.He remembered George Karl's request to him, rushed over and gave Gao Fei a push.
The action was so large that it was obviously beyond the scope of normal defense.
Gao Fei's core strength is strong, even so, it is impossible to withstand malicious fouls.
The Lakers starters rushed over immediately, protecting Goofy behind him.They all know what this point guard means to the team.
George Karl gave a thumbs up to Dengtai Jones who received the foul.
Gao Fei is physically strong and will not be affected. He held the hands of the two sweaty Cen Cen and stood upright on the court again.
The unity of the Lakers has indeed been very high in recent years.Be consistent no matter what happens.
This is essential to a successful team.
Sitting on the sidelines, Master Zen felt that Gao Fei was a natural athlete for playing basketball.He saw that quality in Jordan once.
Dan Crawford didn't dare to let the Denver players be too presumptuous and called Dengtai Jones a malicious foul.This is a warning to the Nuggets players.
Gao Fei pondered the referee's psychology.He knows that the league is more afraid of fights. If the opponent comes up with too much strength, the referee will blow the balance whistle to try to maintain the strength.
At this time, the offense can be more active.
The strength of golf quotient is more fully displayed on the court.
"I talked with the coaches, and they all said that it takes three years to cultivate insiders, and five years to cultivate a striker. It takes ten years to cultivate a good point guard." Teacher Su said, "The promotion of the Lakers and the promotion of the national team are actually far from Don't fly high."
"It is true that a good point guard can control the rhythm and make the best judgment at the best time. It is a bit like a midfielder in football. The goals are not as high as the forwards, but the top midfielders are also popular."
"Gao Fei still has further potential, but it's not about skills, but about experience." Teacher Su heard the rumors, but he didn't want to make it public until he was sure.
The country pays attention to promises, and for public figures like Gao Fei, reputation is very important.If it is exposed in advance, it will easily affect the image if it is not retired in the end.
There are relatively few ways to learn about basketball news in China. As long as there is no publicity, no one will know about it for the time being.
Gao Fei's pass drove the offense in the first quarter.
Although it is a plateau home field with a harsh environment, Gao Fei's physical fitness is still not a big problem.The first quarter of the game played 1 minutes.
On the defensive end, facing Anthony is no less difficult than others.Only through personal experience can you understand his difficulty.
Those who stand at the top are often the hardest, but for Gao Fei, these are common things.
"Gao, do you still love this stage?" The Zen master is like Gao Fei's family, taking him from when he was not confident.It is possible that next season will not be able to coach this talented defender, and I am willing to chat with him more.
"Even if I retire, I won't leave basketball. It's just that I may need to change my mood. When I am full of desire, maybe I will come back."
"When you come back, I may not be coaching anymore."
"It's possible." Gao Fei knew that Zen Master was getting old and successful, and he might retire at any time. "This Lakers team has many capable people. The problem is not ability, but the fatigue of standing at the top."
"It's easy to be beaten if you say this, you know?" Master Zen trusts the personal abilities of the players, and he is in the mood to make jokes about Gao Fei.
