Chapter 165 The Goal Is Ambitious (for more updates)
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the Lakers had already scored 70 points, and the opposite Mavericks also scored 65 points.
Five points difference, enter the intermission!
Mike Breen said: "Gao scored 16 points and 10 assists in the first half, and has reached a double-double; Kobe scored 27 points. The rest of the Lakers also contributed 27 points."
Chris Webber said: "Compared to the level of these players, scoring 27 points in half a game is already a good performance." player."
Mark Jackson laughed: "You don't need to add this sentence, players rarely pay attention to the commentator's remarks."
Home team locker room!
Mark Cuban sat in the corner, tried not to participate in the communication, and let the general Johnson dominate the second half strategy.
"The Lakers are empty inside, and they definitely want to play fast." Johnson, the young general, knows the advantage. "Jason Terry, you find a way to slow down the offensive rhythm and pass the ball to Diop. The Lakers can't handle the center."
Diop didn't expect that one day he would take on the offense in the playoffs, which feels a bit magical and realistic.However, at the moment of great appointment, I gladly accept it.
"Looks like today is my lucky day." Diop thought complacently.
Intermission of 15 minutes, spent in a hurry!
In the third quarter, the Mavericks and the Lakers implemented their respective tactical arrangements.
The Mavericks beat the Lakers by 2 points in a single quarter and entered the fourth quarter with a 3-point difference.
"Everyone on the court is important, but without Lamar Odom, the Lakers' dominance has declined a lot." Mike Breen said during the intermission.
Mark Jackson said: "The Lakers play very well and can maximize the power of the lineup. When they were ranked No. [-] in the West, they were very dominant on both offense and defense, but even at that time, the bench lineup was not too big. Good immediate power."
While the three commentators were discussing the lineup, the fourth quarter kicked off.
Rachel Nichols came to the sidelines to interview Zen Master and asked him what adjustments he made in the fourth quarter.
"First of all, the emphasis is on toughness, not on physical confrontation. It is more on the spiritual level." Zen Master replied calmly, "We are playing away games, and we need to face double pressure from the audience and opponents. Only the spirit of bright sword without fear It is the guarantee for the next game.”
The interview is brief and the camera cuts to the pitch.
The broadcast of the NBA is well done, and there is a sense of immersion.
The cries of the Mavericks fans never stopped.Due to the fast pace of offense and defense, physical confrontation is rare, but the scene is still very exciting.
It's like eating meat all the time, and occasionally a vegetarian meal is also a good choice.
beep!
Joe Crawford blew his whistle, enforcing the timeout requested by General Johnson Jr.
At this time, there were 5 minutes and 17 seconds before the end of the game, and the Lakers led by a score of 91-88.
The timeout was called because Gao Fei broke the ball out of bounds in the previous round, leaving only 2.3 seconds for the Mavericks to attack.
"Jason, Diop will give you a screen without the ball. After receiving the serve, don't think about anything, just throw the ball." The little general Johnson drew the screen tactics on the tactical board, and Jason Terry completed the finish .
If it goes well, this ball may be able to tie the score.
Nowitzki was on the baseline downfield, took the ball from Joe Crawford, raised his hands, and waited for Jason Terry and Diop to complete the screen.
Seeing that Kobe was about to go around, Diop secretly moved a step, played a regular side kick, and blocked Kobe.
Brian Cook's defensive awareness was not strong enough, giving Terry a step.
Nowitzki served a lob, directly to Jason Terry at the top of the arc!
Picking a bow and setting an arrow outside the three-point line, it is unreasonable to shoot through Yang with a hundred steps!
91-91!
5 minutes and 15 seconds!
The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center is more enthusiastic than ever before.Fans chanted Terry's name as he glides back into the backcourt.
The Lakers' offense swept across in an instant.
Although Diop is a rough guy, he is a positive Indian center after all, and it is not good for the Lakers to sink down.
The high-flying view of the court is excellent, seeing Kobe one body ahead of Josh Howard, passing the ball in front of his moving path.
Kobe didn't need to adjust, picked up the basketball, and hit the penalty area without slowing down.
Josh Howard is left behind, only Diop in the penalty area can help defend.
The image of being dunked twice came to Diop's mind.He raised his hands on the spot to increase the defensive area, and he didn't dare to try to block the shot again.
He stood outside the reasonable collision zone and couldn't finish the dunk.
Kobe observed the situation, slowed down and posted it, delayed the defense, and passed to Brian Cook under the basket.
Nowitzki moved slowly and had no time to return to the defense. When he ran halfway, the ball had already been scored.
93-91!
Gao Fei was amused by this scene, and said with a smile: "Dirk, according to your running style, you might as well watch him off."
Nowitzki smiled and didn't reply.This game is too important for the Mavericks, he did not dare to make a big deal, and continued to stand in a high position and pull the defense.
His defense is not good, and Gao Fei's defense is not good.
Jason Terry and Diop screened again and replaced defenders.
Brian Cook stared at the ball in Terry's hands, staying focused and looking good.With this level of concentration, he still couldn't escape the dilemma of being passed over.
Terry broke through from the left, got rid of Brian Cook, and threw a shot on the move!
Millions of training, for this moment to shine!
93-93!
Fans at the American Airlines Center stand up!
Gao Fei felt a hint of danger coming.They can't let the Mavericks tie the big score, otherwise there will be a risk of long nights and dreams.
Kobe looked at Gao Fei with firm eyes.
The two defenders have partnered for many games, and they have already established a tacit understanding, and they can know each other's thoughts without communication.
Kobe was clearly expressing: "I'm in shape now, pass the ball to me quickly."
Gao Fei is not a greedy person, and he does not want to participate in the US media's debate.As long as you can play ball and make a lot of money, the rest is trivial.
He stood at the horns, even if he didn't move, no one would dare to let go.
Devin Harris stood in front of Gao Fei, did not observe the situation, and focused on single defense.His defensive ability is not strong, so he has to bet all his energy on the defensive end.
Bryant returned to singles mode, challenging Josh Howard's defense.
"Which side will he attack from?" Josh Howard couldn't be sure.
Kobe made a fake move with his shoulder first, dribbled the ball with his left hand, changed direction in front of his body, and suddenly changed his breakthrough route.
Josh Howard seemed to have been hit by a ninjutsu of time and space, and rushed to the right, defending against the air.
Kobe Bryant took a smart step outside the free throw line and made two freehand shots!
BANG!
95-93!
Kobe seemed to have just completed a shooting practice, without any fuss, and calmly retreated to the backcourt.
Nowitzki came to the top of the arc and took the ball one step beyond the three-point line.Even in this position, Gao Fei still refused to relax and kept his body tight.
Gao Fei's strength is top-notch among perimeter players, stronger than the average power forward, and he is limited in position and does not give any space.
Nowitzki has never played so uncomfortable as in this round of the series. He has no choice but to pass the ball again.
The critical stage is a moment for stars. Nowitzki's offense is frustrated, which will virtually depress the team's morale.
Jason Terry is the core of the team's outside line, carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, facing Kobe's defense, it is not easy.
Kobe lowered his center of gravity, like a wolf staring at its prey, with fierce eyes.
Faced with such sharp eyes, Jason felt a little timid in his heart.
Seeing the time go by so fast, there was no chance to take the ball, and he pulled out a shot from outside the three-point line!
clang!
Strike it!
Diop has an absolute advantage in the penalty area, taking the initiative and getting offensive rebounds.
"These teammates of the Lakers are really bad." Director Zhang didn't hide his tendency and hoped that the Lakers would win, but Brian Cook always made mistakes at the basket and couldn't help complaining.
Yang Jian said: "Originally, the Lakers had Kwame Brown and Odom on the inside. They couldn't play tonight, so they had to let Brian Cook top. There is no way, and now the Lakers have problems with their rotation."
Brian Cook listened to Gao Fei's suggestion, grabbed Diop's shoulders with both hands, and tried his best to stop him from making a move.
beep!
Joe Crawford sends Diop to the free throw line.
The Mavericks trailed by two points, and as long as Diop hits all of them, they can tie the game.
A blue-collar who often defends, shoulders this kind of pressure, and his mentality is definitely not comparable to that of players who often attack.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Two free throws all iron!
More importantly, the second penalty is a non-stick, flying directly out of the bottom line.
Mavericks fans couldn't help but laugh.
"It's better not to grab the offensive rebound just now, so as not to lose this person." The fans in the front row thought to themselves.
Gao Fei dribbled the ball steadily, pushed across the half court slowly, and was not in a hurry to run and bomb.
Kobe came out to catch the ball. He didn't get lucky first, and turned around to test Josh Howard's defense.
Goofy pulls to the right, stands outside the three-point line, and becomes a space shooter.
Kobe took two tentative steps, confirmed that Josh Howard was in a tight state, and started dribbling instantly.
Josh Howard retreated quickly, followed Kobe closely, paying attention to his opponent's every move.
Gao Fei ran to the bull's corner, and then ran to the bottom corner.
Kobe attracted three people to double-team. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Goofy and passed the ball laterally.
The beast in Devin Harris' heart is crying: "No! Big Brother!"
Goofy's bottom corner was pulled out, and at a height that Devin Harris could not reach, he shot a three-pointer chicly.
Basketball draws a beautiful arc, but the pig's heart is the heart of Mavericks fans!
98-93!
beep!
"Isn't it, Sir? Why did you blow the whistle again?" Gao Fei turned his head and found that it was the little general Johnson who called the timeout.
Gao Fei calmly returned to the sidelines, spit out the tasteless chewing gum into the wrapping paper, and wrapped it up for the caddy.Drank an energy drink, then pulled out a new piece of gum.
Zen Master has only two guards under him, and the others are not very good at playing, and they have no tricks, so he encouraged the players.These words didn't have much effect on Gao Fei, he basically didn't listen to a few words.
General Johnson handed over the offensive focus to Devin Harris.
No matter how handsome Vujacic is, he can't hide the fact that he's playing poorly.
Devin Harris accelerated his breakthrough, easily got rid of the defense, and rushed straight to the penalty area.
He didn't expect it to be so easy, easier than getting on a hotel bed.
Brian Cook's penalty area defense not only doesn't look bluffing, but also doesn't have much defensive threat.
Devin Harris feels no pressure, just like walking in the spring field, relaxed and happy.
Hit the basket!
Easy to score!
98-95!
Zen master knew that there was a problem with the team's defense, so he called Chris Mim and asked him to replace Brian Cook.
Although Mihm's level is not high, he is a center forward anyway, and standing in the penalty area is more intimidating than Brian Cook.
Gao Fei advanced slowly, not caring about the rotation, and passed the ball to Kobe.Then he started running without the ball.
Kobe stopped the ball at the top of the arc, observed the position of his teammates, and waited for an opportunity to release the ball.
Gao Fei helped Luke Walton cover, did not stay, and ran outside the left three-point line.
Kobe passes the ball.
Devin Harris saw the pre-shooting action and jumped up hastily, but he didn't see the figure jumping higher.Looking down, there was a purple figure beside him dribbling the ball and rushing over.
The Mavericks' defense was immediately impacted and changed shape.
Kobe rolls off the ball and catches the pass on the move.
There are impactors on both sides of Diop. Although the ball is in Kobe's hands, it is not necessarily him who completes the finish.The chances of the two are [-] to [-], and neither one is right.
Gao Fei took off on the right side, received a pass from Kobe, and lifted a layup.
Unremarkable!
100-95!
3 minutes and 12 seconds!
The young general Johnson did not dare to double-team Gao Fei and Kobe, but the linkage between the two is very good, and it is difficult to find an effective restriction strategy.This scene brought him back to the predicament of the first three games.
Jason Terry didn't know what the head coach was thinking. He looked at the scoreboard and confirmed the point difference and time: "We still have a chance, but if we can't prevent it, this game will be very difficult."
Players have a clear understanding of their own strength, and the threat of the Lakers' double guards may be greater than the combined Mavericks' forwards.
After hesitating, Kobe posted up to pester him again.
The simple and brutal force collision almost made Jason Terry lose his balance.
The Mavericks fans raised their throats, paying attention to the matchup at the top of the arc, hoping that Jason Terry can open the situation.
Jason Terry collected the ball, faced the defense, and made a strong shot from beyond the three-point line.There is a lot of pressure on this kind of shooting. If you don't make it, you may be questioned or abused overwhelmingly.
"I don't care!" Seeing that the basketball arc is not very straight, Terry already had a premonition that he would be sprayed, so he had to do psychological construction in advance.
The basketball hit the left edge of the basket, rebounded into the air, and then miraculously entered the net!
100-98!
2 minutes and 51 seconds!
Jason Terry turned from frustration into excitement, spouting trash talk angrily, which melted into the cheers of the audience without causing waves.
Without saying a word, Kobe quickly ran upfield and received a high-flying pass.
Since there was no foul, Chris Mim hadn't had a chance to play yet. He stood in front of the technical stage and paid close attention to Kobe's movements.
The point difference is only two points, and there is not much time left. No matter which side misses, it will give the other side great hope.
Kobe knows this very well, adjusting his breathing during the dribble.As long as you shoot according to the rhythm in training, there will be no problems.
Hold the ball with your right hand, assist with your left hand, jump to the highest point, and throw the ball!
This is an action he has repeated millions of times, and he has already formed muscle memory.Even an injured finger can't affect the feel.
The basketball spun into the air, as if a sharp knife was out of its sheath, hitting the morale of the Mavericks players just about to rise.
102-98!
2 minutes and 34 seconds!
"Damn, why do they have two singles?" Little General Johnson couldn't help complaining.Whenever there is one less threat with the ball, he dares to decisively adopt double-team tactics.
Goofy and Kobe clapped hands and quickly retreated to the backcourt.
As the game enters a critical stage, the pressure exerted by the fans on the sidelines increases, and it is necessary to stay focused in order to escape from this hostile atmosphere.
Terry felt the pressure, too.
Diop screened at the top of the arc and blocked Goofy, allowing Nowitzki to hit Brian Cook in a misplaced position.
Goofy ignored Diop and went over to defend against Brian Cook.
Luke Walton immediately switched defenses, restricted Diop from receiving the ball, and instantly raised the defensive intensity by several notches.
Devin Harris is relatively weak in peripheral shooting ability and was taken two steps short.
Nowitzki is not an organizational power forward. He was double-teamed by two small players and had no energy to look at the top of the arc behind him.
Not every player has good passing vision, and Nowitzki passed the ball back to Terry.
Coming and going, nearly 10 seconds of attack time was wasted.
Terry encountered an unprecedented winding defense and wanted to protect the ball, but he didn't have those two brushes.
Kobe took a right-handed penalty and pushed the basketball out of Terry's hand.
Four people ran towards the basketball at the same time, and the first person to throw out was Goofy who was in charge of defending Nowitzki.
Get the basketball in the air, drop it on the floor to unload, turn around, and pass the ball immediately.
When Terry rushed over, Gao Fei had no basketball in his hand.
Players know that very few players can get out of the ground so quickly.This is also part of personal ability.
Kobe ran fast, galloping across the field with the wind of freedom.
There is no defense in the frontcourt!
SLAM DUNK!
104-98!
2 minutes and 05 seconds!
Little General Johnson called out the penultimate timeout in his hand. If it cannot be reversed, the series may be over.
Gao Fei calmly drank water and chewed gum.
"Gao, give me a piece." Kobe scored 38 points and hoped to get 40+ data. He also wanted a piece of chewing gum to refresh himself.
Gao Fei took out a piece and handed it to Kobe.
The Zen master mainly emphasized the main points to Chris Mim, asking him to stick to the penalty area and not give room for breakthroughs.
The junior general Johnson made adjustments, replacing Devin Harris with Stackhouse, trying to increase the offensive points, and trying to close the score.
Cuban was nervous, less calm than usual, standing behind the bench, expecting a miracle, and luck.
Diop served the ball upfield, raised it over his head, and handed it to Stackhouse, who was not guarded by a double back.
"Being sent to the court at this time proves that the coach has enough trust in me." Stackhouse faced the defender, bent to dribble, and thought, "I can't lose the chain."
Vujacic's defense is as loose as a cotton trouser waist.
Stackhouse also experienced the intensity of the park road on a weekday, with ease, and even had time to think about whether to shoot or hit the paint.
The whistle is very difficult to sound at the critical moment, and it is not safe to hit the penalty area.
Stackhouse made an emergency stop on the left and made a mid-range jumper!
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Mark Cuban shook his fist and roared, venting part of his emotions with shouts.
104-100!
1 minutes and 57 seconds!
Gao Fei received the serve and walked across half court.He glanced at the scoreboard to confirm the difference.
In the last few rounds, he has never attacked with the ball, and there are timeouts.Breathing is smooth and effortless.
Dribble high above the key, looking for rhythm.
Facing the famous attacker, Stackhouse was extremely nervous, always watching Gao Fei, for fear of missing a certain action.Even so, still can't keep up.
Goofy changed direction in front of his body, easily surpassing others.
The Mavericks' defense has changed, they are attracted by the point of holding the ball, and there are overall flaws.
"Goofy pass to Vujacic in the corner!" Mike Breen commented. "No defender in front of you, take the jumper! BANG! The Mavericks paid the price for their defensive choices."
Vujacic was extremely excited, high-fived Gao Fei, and quickly ran back to the backcourt.He has been named on the defensive end, and he can play such a key performance, and the depression in his heart is swept away.
Chris Webber said: "Any player on the basketball court may become a killer that decides the game. It is best not to let go easily."
107-100!
1 minutes and 38 seconds!
The Mavericks fans felt that the momentum of the game was not on their side, and shouted as hard as they could, cheering for the team with a uniform voice.
"Now we have to bet on three points." Terry knew that the point difference was huge, and he had to make three points to gradually narrow the point difference.
Diop mentioned the top of the arc, blocked Kobe, and helped the defenders in the team create offensive space.
Terry turned around after receiving the ball, and suddenly saw a big hand stretched out in front of him.He was a little scared, did not dare to shoot, and passed to Nowitzki on the right.
Time is not on the side of the Mavericks.
Nowitzki is facing Luke Walton, who is not strong in defense, and the Golden Rooster is independent, with a fadeaway jumper!
The shooting arc is very high, and there is no possibility of defense.
The hearts of the audience soared with the basketball hit.
The cheers were extremely warm!
107-102!
1 minutes and 20 seconds!
"Come back to defense! Come back to defense!" Little General Johnson waved his hands and shouted, reminding the slightly paused players.
Goofy was in no rush to push forward.They still have a five-point lead, and as long as they play steadily, they can close the game.
"Gao is really calm now." Zen master looked at Gao Fei with a calm expression, not worried about the game situation at all.
Brian Shaw said: "His rhythm control is really excellent."
With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Bryant received the pass.Dribble the ball under the crotch to find the rhythm, single out face-to-face, and break Josh Howard's defense.
He is very good at posting up in the low post, and he is also a master at attacking the frame.
Stop the ball near the paint area, no one dares to double-team.
Kobe made a pivot with his left foot, turned around with his right foot, and made two consecutive movements, swaying past the defense.
Take off with your left foot and stretch out your hand in front of your upper body.
Diop caught Kobe's basketball shot, but the arc was downward, and he was sentenced to defend the ball!
109-102!
1 minutes and 01 seconds!
"Should we call a timeout?" Little General Johnson didn't care about it, not sure if he needed to call the last timeout.
Kobe and Goofy understood the situation of the game very well, and used the full-court tight man-to-man defense, not saving time for the Mavericks to serve.
Stackhouse receives the serve, passes it to Nowitzki, and runs to catch the pass back.
The Lakers' defensive intensity is very high, with constant physical confrontation, it is difficult to have an easy shot.
Nowitzki faced Goofy, received the pass, and shot again.
Without using the golden rooster to stand alone, it is the simplest shot.
Three point sword!
109-105!
46.4 秒
"We can always trust Dirk Nowitzki!" Cuban roared loudly, looking at the big man who retreated quickly, feeling extremely emotional.
Gao Fei took the time to pass halftime, controlled the rhythm, and did not give the Mavericks a chance to fight.
Mavericks players face two difficult choices, stop the foul meter, or try to defend down.
Gao Fei's calmness reminded the Mavericks players that the Lakers would make shots under the 24-second attack time.
Both Terry and Stackhouse are experienced players who chose to do their best to defend. As long as the Lakers can't score, they still have a chance.
Goofy didn't pass the ball, with 12 seconds left on the shot clock, bent over the dribble, and read the Mavericks defense.
At this time, you don't need to do too many extra things, break through others, and be as sharp as ever.
Goofy gets up fast, everything seems slow.Of course, he wasn't happy in bed.
Diop did not assist in defense, and bet that Gao Fei would not make a shot.
Gao Fei made an emergency stop in the paint area, took off gracefully, followed the usual rhythm, and shot softly!
Hollow hit!
111-105!
27.5 seconds!
General Johnson Jr. called the Mavericks' final timeout.
"We're going to die." This is Nowitzki's first thought when he looked at the scoreboard.
Little General Johnson shouted passionately, but Nowitzki didn't listen to a few words.He knew he had to grab the three and it would be him who made the shot.
Not only the Mavericks players are aware of this, Gao Fei is also well aware of this.
"If you are lucky and can disrupt Dirk's shooting rhythm, the game will be won." Gao Fei whispered to Kobe.
"They must be shooting directly from the sideline. You are not tall enough to interfere with shooting." Kobe is also a defensive champion and can judge the situation.
"If Lamar is not suspended, he should be allowed to try." Gao Fei said, "I don't want to be the background board."
"No one wants to be the background board. The purpose of defending hard is to limit the opponent, not to hope that the opponent will show off."
Goofy's chewing gum had no taste, but for the sake of effect, he continued to chew.This will look cool.
"Diop sent a sideline ball to Dirk Nowitzki who was running over!" Mike Breen explained enthusiastically, "Ignored Goofy's defense and shot head-on! The arc is very positive! IN AND OUT!"
"Chris Mim gets the defensive rebound and passes to Vujacic."
Vujacic stood for two seconds before someone rushed to foul.
Nowitzki saw that Vujacic made two free throws, and the team did not pause, knowing that the situation was over.
"Expand the defense, don't let the Mavericks shoot three-pointers." Gao Fei loudly reminded his teammates to focus on defense.
Terry ran to the frontcourt quickly, but failed to make a three-pointer, declaring that the game was over.
Frustrated, Nowitzki walked off the court and returned to the tunnel.
高飞得到23分6篮板17助攻，科比40分3篮板6助攻。
Nowitzki 22 points; Terry 25 points; Diop 12 points.
For the Mavericks, it may be about to usher in the darkest moment.
Bryant stayed on the sidelines and was interviewed by media reporters.
Goofy went back to the locker room, not wanting to attend the press conference.He can talk to reporters about entertainment, but he doesn't want to talk about game-related issues.
He always feels that American media reporters only have historical status and who is the boss of the team in their minds, and they don't want to get involved.Being influenced by this concept for a long time will more or less change your views on team sports. It is better to accept interviews from gossip media and talk about emotional matters.
"Sasha, you made a key shot tonight, and you made two free throws that are enough to win the game. Go to the press conference with Kobe." Gao Fei found a substitute.
Vujacic had self-knowledge and said, "Let's forget it. If I go to attend, I don't think there will be any problems."
"No," Gao Fei was amused, "How could there be one or two reporters asking questions?"
"What will they ask?" Vujacic asked.
"Who gave you the courage to attend the press conference." Gao Fei laughed and accidentally swallowed the gum.
This time it was Vujacic who laughed heartily.
The Zen master didn't understand Gao Fei's brain circuit. He was so calm just now, but now he started to get nervous again.
In the end, only Bryant attended the press conference.The darling of the American media, he gets the favor and asks soft questions.
After the Lakers players waited for Kobe to return to the locker room, they took the team bus and returned to the away hotel.
G5 of the Western Conference Finals was held on the night of the day after tomorrow, with two days of rest in between.
On a whim, Gao Fei asked Zen Master for leave. Instead of returning to Los Angeles with the team, he stayed in the away hotel to rest.
The rest of the Lakers players and staff took a flight overnight and returned to Los Angeles.
Goofy lay on the hotel bed and called Taylor.
"I'll go to Nashville tomorrow to help you hold on." He knew that doing so would definitely make news, but he had already made up his mind and couldn't control that much.
Taylor excitedly said, "Can you really come?"
"Of course. G5 is the day after tomorrow. I have time to rest." Gao Fei won the third game without much psychological pressure.And the brain is full of tactics and strategies, and occasionally needs the enjoyment of music.
"I'll ask Mr. Chapman to pick you up tomorrow." Taylor said excitedly.
Goofy and Taylor said good night and lay in bed, trying not to think about the game.
……
Gao Fei bought a ticket from Dallas to Nashville and sat in the departure hall.Since he was wearing sunglasses and a hat, I thought no one would recognize him.
Unexpectedly, after a while, there will be many fans watching around.
"Gao, can you sign us?" a small fan asked.
Gao Fei knew that it was inappropriate to sign on such an occasion, so he politely declined: "I'm going to board the plane soon, it's inconvenient. Let's talk about it next time, okay?" He tried his best to make his tone soft.
The fans did not leave, they surrounded Gao Fei, full of longing.
Gao Fei looked at his watch. It was less than an hour before boarding the plane, but he still didn't dare to sign autographs for the fans.Simply ignore it and let them watch as they please.
The announcement at the airport reminded him to board the plane. Gao Fei took his luggage, showed his ticket, and boarded the plane to Nashville.
"He doesn't look like a star at all." The fans commented, "He has no airs at all, and he doesn't seem to want to be recognized."
"His build and complexion were too unique to be unrecognizable."
The fans are like ants who have lost their goal, staying for a while, and embarking on their own journeys.
A few hours later, the plane landed in Nashville.
Mr. Chapman leaned against the car, shook hands with Gao Fei, and said, "Mr. Gao, welcome to Nashville again. I know you are tall, and I drove an off-road vehicle specially. I hope there is enough space."
"I'm not a big center, it's not that exaggerated." Gao Fei replied with a smile.
Center forwards are generally around 2 meters, and they are very big. Heavy centers require special vehicles.Although he is close to two meters, he can still sit in most vehicles.
Gao Fei sat in the co-pilot.
Mr. Chapman started the car and said, "Mr. Gao, Taylor will have a public performance in the afternoon. She will be very happy if you can join me."
Goofy was the small boss of Big Machine Records, and was sort of Chapman's boss.But he doesn't get involved in affairs management, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.
The last time I came to Nashville, when I was playing the Grizzlies away, I flew over and stayed for a day.When I came to this city this time, I had a completely different feeling.
Taylor's home is not far from the airport and arrives quickly.
Austin wants to help Goofy with his luggage.
Gao Fei laughed and said, "Brother, your thighs are not as thick as my arms, so let me do it."
Hearing this, Taylor defended his younger brother and said, "Gao, what are you talking about!"
"I was just joking." Gao Fei put his backpack by the living room door and put on the slippers he had prepared in advance, "Didn't you go to publicize this morning?"
"I rejected it for you." Taylor and Goofy sat on the sofa and said, "You come here, the effect is much better than those boring publicity."
Gao Fei knew that Taylor was a person who didn't know how to hide his emotions, and he would say whatever he thought in his heart.
Mr. Swift received tens of thousands of dollars from the Tissot endorsement.This profit is too small, but he still has shares in Big Machine Records, and his family is well-off enough to not worry about running out of money.
"Gao, do you want coffee?" Mr. Swift brought two cups of coffee.
Gao Fei got up to take it, and said thank you.
Mr. Swift was sitting on the sofa on the right, with a flushed face, looking proud: "You are about to advance to the finals, aren't you?"
"If there are no accidents, we can advance in the next round."
"It seemed to be easier than in the semi-finals," Mr Swift said.
Goofy nodded.Maybe it's because I often play in arenas with [-] spectators. I have experienced big scenes, and I don't feel nervous when communicating with elders.
Mr. Swift asked: "Gao, what fields does your Starlight Entertainment plan to set foot in?"
"The film and television entertainment industry," Gao Fei said truthfully, "The main direction is to invest in making movies, and it will also cultivate a few stars."
"Like?" Taylor asked with interest.
"The current candidate is Megan Fox."
Anne Hathaway is top-notch and doesn't need to be cultivated.The movie starring Megan Fox hasn't been released yet, so it's not considered a big-name star, and there is still a lot of commercial value to be discovered.
Taylor asked, "Do you want to be an entertainment mogul?"
"It's not an entertainment tycoon," Gao Fei said, "I have a small goal, to earn tens of billions of dollars."
The richest player in the basketball circle is Jordan, and his worth is only a few hundred million dollars.Goofy said tens of billions of dollars, which made Mr. Swift feel fantastic.
"How much is the owner of the Lakers worth?" Mr. Swift wanted to make a comparison.
"I'm not sure, but the market value of the Lakers is only a few hundred million dollars (in 06), and tens of billions of dollars can probably buy a dozen Lakers. If I reach this value, I will be a player richer than the boss."
"You are quite ambitious!" Mr. Swift did not expect Gao Fei to have such great ambitions.
Gao Fei murmured in his heart: "This is the task of the system, but I really value tens of billions of dollars more than building a dynasty." The idea was very straightforward, but he had to answer politely, "This is just a plan, and many plans will eventually fail. .”
Taylor said with a smile: "I believe you can achieve your goals. Whether it is a world champion or a billionaire."
"It's nice to have someone trust you." Gao Fei also smiled.
Mr. Swift felt that he was an outsider, and he went back to the bedroom quietly with a coffee cup in his hand.
Mrs. Swift heard Goofy's goal and said: "Gao's goal is too big. The future of Starlight Entertainment is uncertain, and it may be tiring."
"I listened to him, it didn't look like he was joking."
"This child is really tough." Mrs. Swift paused for a while, then said, "There is a future."
Seeing his sister and Gao Fei kissing, Austin returned to the bedroom without saying a word.
After lunch, Taylor went to make up, and then attended the afternoon preview together.
"With a few more shows, the preview is almost over, and then we are waiting for the release of the single." While waiting in the backstage, Taylor said to Gao Fei beside him.
Gao Fei could see the small auditorium from where he was sitting, and many country musicians came inside, waiting for the warm-up performance.
Taylor wasn't the only guest performer.
When they came backstage and saw Gao Fei, they couldn't believe it.
"Are you Gao Fei's imitator?" A bearded singer asked Gao Fei with a high five, "You really look like him."
Gao Fei smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Today I will bring an imitation show."
The bearded singer had heard the original soundtrack of Gao Fei's game, confirmed his identity, and said in surprise, "Gao, aren't you guys playing in the Western Conference Finals? Why are you in Nashville again? Could it be that you have a double body?"
"I'm here to support my girlfriend." Gao Fei replied calmly.
"Yeah," the bearded singer said, smacking his forehead, "I forgot about that. You two are a couple. Gotta say, Taylor is a genius."
"Thank you." Taylor responded politely.
Gao Fei was also very happy to see Taylor's smile.
This is a completely different mood from the competition, no need to perform, just focus on enjoying the music.
"Taylor, it will be your turn to perform soon." The director of the music festival informed Taylor.
Gao Fei left the backstage, went to the front of the small theater, and found an empty seat to sit down.
Several media reporters immediately pointed their cameras at him.
Taylor came out with a guitar in her arms and a flowing dress, sitting in a performance chair with a height-adjustable microphone in front of it.
Crisp and melodious guitar, accompanied by soft and melodious singing.
Goofy had never found Taylor so attractive.He seemed to know this blond-haired and blue-eyed girl again, immersed in the music, intoxicated in the singing.
Taylor, the generous girl, sang the first song and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my guitarist—Goofy!"
Most of the musicians at the scene knew who Gao Fei was, applauded and let him perform on stage.
Goofy's guitar practice has never been interrupted, the level is quite high, and he took over the guitar from Taylor.
"Wait a minute, he attaches great importance to the sound of the guitar." Taylor reminded out of fear that the musicians would be impatient.
Gao Fei tuned it up and held the guitar with both hands.
The organizer was very experienced and brought another microphone and placed it in front of the guitar.
Gao Fei is a very spiritual guitar player. While ensuring the standard, he can not overwhelm the audience.
Taylor sang the new song "Tim McGraw", which will be officially released soon, with singing and guitar, which has a different feeling from the performance just now.
"The high guitar level is really nice." Musicians can easily hear the difference.
Goofy's guitar skills are obviously stronger than Taylor's.
The two have a tacit understanding and perfectly interpret this new song.
After the performance, the two sat in their seats and listened to the performance of the rest of the singers.
"Today's stage is great," Taylor said quietly and excitedly, "I've never been in such a state."
"Maybe it's because you don't have to play and sing, but put your emotions into the song."
"Maybe you brought me luck," Taylor said.
The nearby people listened to the whispers of the young couple, thinking that if there were not so many people here, they might not be able to help themselves.
Gao Fei heard good music, stopped talking, and listened quietly.
Music is an easy medium to touch, and there were a few songs that really worked, but Goofy thought Taylor's performance was the best.
"I have to go back to Big Machine Records, are you going?" Taylor knew that Gao Fei was a small boss, and wanted to show him the office of Big Machine Records.
Gao Fei enjoyed the reunion, but he still had business to do, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
"What?" Taylor asked puzzled.
"There is still training tomorrow morning." Gao Fei explained, "I have to go back to Los Angeles today, and I don't have time to go there."
"Oh." Taylor felt that his bright mood had become a little gloomy.
"When the dust settles, you can come to me." Gao Fei stroked Taylor's hair.
"The game is important." Taylor forced himself to be strong, "If possible, I will watch the finals live."
Taylor still has work to do. Mr. Swift will send Gao Fei to the airport, take a passenger plane to Los Angeles, and go back to continue preparing for the Western Conference Finals.
