Chapter 197 007: Start the Journey
The progress of the regular season was smoother than expected.After a lapse of one year, the Lakers once again entered the playoffs as the number one in the Western Conference.
Gao Fei averaged 55 points, 19.5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game with a shooting percentage of 13.5%, winning the regular season assists title for the second time in a row.Occupying the top spot in the MVP list throughout the season, if nothing unexpected happens, he will win the regular season MVP for the first time in his career.
Kobe's performance is also very strong, ranking second in the MVP list; followed by the sudden emergence of Chris Paul, the New Orleans Hornets led by him are the opponents of the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
For three consecutive years, the Lakers have home court advantage against all teams.
Director Zhang came to Los Angeles to interview Gao Fei.
"This year's CBA season ended early, and the players assembled in advance to prepare for the upcoming Olympics." Director Zhang first talked about events that are extremely important to the domestic media.
"There are still four months, I want to focus on the professional arena first, and then consider the Olympics." Gao Fei said, "This is very important, and I will do it with all my energy."
"Chris Paul and you are rookies in the same class. They will face off in the first round. Is there anything you want to say to him?" Director Zhang still wants to dig out some interesting points.
"Don't lose too much, or it will be ugly." Gao Fei was in a relaxed mood, smiling and talking trash.
"Haha," Director Zhang laughed, "The strength of the Hornets really doesn't make sense."
"The Hornets are still very strong," Gao Feishen became serious, "It may be more difficult for us to win."
Director Zhang is too familiar with Gao Fei, he despises him strategically, but always attaches great importance to it tactically.No matter what the opponent is, try to eliminate it as quickly as possible.
LAX!
With a backpack on his back, Paul walked into the already slightly warm weather in Los Angeles, feeling the gap between this cosmopolitan city and New Orleans.
He didn't stop at the airport, got on the team bus, and waited to go to the away hotel.
The Hornets starters are more reliable people, and they will not fall into debauchery.Looking at the shops on both sides of the road through the car window, I'm glad I didn't play here.
"Small cities have money and no land to spend. In this kind of place, I am afraid that the pockets are not thick enough." Tyson Chandler, the Hornets' starting center, summed it up succinctly.
David West is a very silent player, with a figure like a door panel and a sense of strength.He took the words of his insider partner: "Big cities are better than big cities, and small cities are better than small cities."
"Okay, as expected of you, you said some nonsense." Tyson Chandler laughed and teased his inside partner.
The main shooting guard Peja is a player who can shoot three-pointers. He is calmer than the inside twin towers. He said with a smile: "Let's play a three-pointer game. Whoever makes fewer shots will treat you. How about it?"
"It's better to compare who can pass the ball accurately." Paul Jianpeja began to dig a hole and joined with a smile.
"It's better than dunking." Tyson Chandler is taller and knows the advantage.
The happy atmosphere in the car accidentally alarmed the surrounding birds.They flew away chirping, and disappeared into the tall buildings.
TNT invited O'Neal, who didn't make the playoffs, to sit in the commentary and talk about the games he couldn't play.
"Shark, your speed of retreating from the front line is fast enough." Barkley smiled.
"Charles, you have been retired for many years, are you willing to expose me?" O'Neill knew the way to attack Barkley, but he used big moves before he came up.
Barkley is straight-hearted and doesn't have so many twists and turns. He can say whatever comes to mind: "I'm a retired player, so I don't want to get involved in this matter."
Both Kenny Smith and Amy Johnson hope that the fat group will quarrel so that the show will have ratings.
The studio suddenly fell silent when the championship was mentioned, and the topic returned to the upcoming first round of the playoffs.
"The Lakers will sweep the Hornets." O'Neal has let go of what happened four years ago, analyzed calmly, and couldn't find the Hornets' advantage.
"I'm just the opposite of Shaq." Barkley laughed. "I think the Hornets can sweep the Lakers."
Kenny Smith felt very helpless to the two old brothers who were talking nonsense, and said: "The Lakers have superior strength and experience, and they can still take the initiative. Five to six games, the Lakers will advance to the Western Conference semifinals."
Amy Johnson knew that Kenny Smith's point of view was the most normal, so she simply ignored it and continued to dig into the words of Barkley and O'Neill.
"Charles, can you give the reason why the Hornets swept the Lakers?" Amy Johnson asked the astonishing Barkley.
"The inside gap, David West can suppress the Lakers' inside." Barkley said solemnly, "How to defend against this, there is no way to defend."
If you don't listen to the content of the speech, just look at his expression and demeanor, you will feel that he is talking about something that has happened.
Sitting in the living room, Taylor said, "Hey, Charles said you'd be swept away."
"Fucking shit." Gao Fei didn't have to face the media, showing a straightforward side, "Unless Paul and I switch, the Hornets have no chance."
"You're so excited." Taylor seemed to be looking at an alien he had never seen before, "It's not like you don't know Buckley's mouth."
"Don't worry," Gao Fei put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and said, "I don't care what the commentators say, otherwise, don't play, the game will be won or lost depends on their analysis."
"You obviously care." Taylor felt that Gao Fei's performance was not open-minded at all.
"Okay, I've got a showdown. It's a bit broken." Gao Fei put his feet on the coffee table, picked up an apple, and put it in his mouth.
"It's really rare." Taylor rarely saw Gao Fei lose his composure, and felt a little surprised. He smiled and handed him another piece of apple.
Gao Fei's mood only fluctuated for a moment, and he quickly recovered his composure, and began to concentrate on studying his opponent.
In any case, only by eliminating the Hornets can they advance to the semifinals.There's nothing else to think about until this series is over.
Paul is equally prepared.He had a dream, that after being suppressed by Gao Fei for three years, he wanted to play a game of turning around.
This is not as simple as talking about it, you have to show some real talents.More specifically, it might cost everything.
The American media likes to make gimmicks most. The theme of this round of the series is the battle for the number one point guard.
Goofy is the point guard ceiling, a realm above the gods.Although Paul is very good, he still does not want the outside world to compare the two.
"Mr. Gao, it's time to go." The driver brought the car over and prepared to send Gao Fei to the Staples Center.
Goofy and Tyler walked out of the living room arm in arm and sat in the back of the Ferrari.
"Los Angeles is beautiful."
"Yes." Gao Fei agreed with Taylor's words.In his impression, there is no place where life is more comfortable than here.
"Know what is more beautiful?"
"do not know."
Gao Fei felt the wind blowing due to high-speed driving, but did not get an answer.But he thought the answer might be in his heart.
The night climbed to the sky, and the clouds covered the setting sun!
"Guys, are you ready for revenge?" Zen master said this before the game started.
