Chapter 155 The Edge of the Cliff (for more updates)
Stoudemire is still unstoppable, and his inside face-up singles are extremely efficient, leading the Suns to take the lead.
In the final attack of the first half, Gao Fei dragged his heavy steps, forcing a breakthrough and causing damage.
When he got to the free throw line, the fans behind the backboard waved their white cheering sticks and booed.Goofy feels slightly dizzy, feeling like the audience is magically magnified in his world.
The rim seemed to be shaking, not sitting still on the backboard.wrong.It seemed like even the backboard was shaking.
At this time, all you can rely on is muscle memory.
"Hold on, we must seize this opportunity to chase points." Gao Fei had only one thought, and threw the ball according to the rhythm of his usual training.
First free throw!
Kobe stood at the top of the arc, clenched his fists in celebration.
When Gao Fei executed the second free throw, the boos on the scene were even more astonishing.
Steady rhythm, freehand shot!
hit!
Lakers 61-66 Suns!
Nash received the serve and threw the ball directly from the backcourt without time to attack. He almost hit the ball and shocked the Lakers into a cold sweat.
Gao Fei walked into the player tunnel, only to hear his own heavy breathing.He's never been so tired and feels like he's about to tear apart.
After finally walking to the locker room, he immediately slumped on the chair and took the time to rest.
Garivetti brought Gao Fei an ice pack and put it on his forehead. The cold object brought a wonderful feeling.
Master Zen summoned the players to his side, and tried to arrange the strategy for the second half in a low voice, so as not to disturb Gao Fei.
The intermission time is only 15 minutes, and the high fever has not subsided in the slightest.
Gao Fei followed behind his teammates through the dim player tunnel.He never felt that the road was so long.
"Kobe, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you for support in the third quarter." Gao Fei has never been soft-spoken, but with his physical condition, it is impossible to perform at his usual level.
"I get it." Bryant scored like crazy last season and led the team for a while.
Before sending Goofy, Phil Jackson asked him about his condition to see if he could continue playing.
"No problem at all," Gao Fei said with a forced smile, "As long as you stand on the court, you can attract the attention of the Suns. If you score two three-pointers, you will make a profit."
Phil Jackson saw that Gao Fei could still joke, and asked him to continue playing, sit back on the sidelines, and watch the game in peace.
Gao Fei dribbled the ball across half court, handed it to Kobe, and then pulled it away.
The triangle offense doesn't require a lot of movement, and it's perfect for high-flying at this point.Standing on the right corner, open up the space on the court.
Gao Fei's three field goal percentages are close to 180 clubs. Although the state is not good, the Suns dare not let this point go.They're just making adjustments to the defender, manned by James Jones.
Kobe didn't need to think about other people and started the singles mode.He knew what Gao Fei meant, as long as he survived the third quarter, he might still have a chance in the fourth quarter.
Odom stood in the penalty area, stuck in Stoudemire's position.
Kobe broke through with the ball in the middle, ignored the defense, jumped to pick the basket, and made a smart hit!
63-66!
Gao Fei shortened his running distance as much as possible, stood at the top of the arc on the right side, and waited for the incoming Suns players.
Nash did not slow down the pace, quickly split the ball, and handed it to Marion who went down without the ball.
Luke Wharton's defense lost the opportunity and was freed by Marion, unable to form a defensive threat.
Odom was forced to defend, missing Stoudemire.
The joy of the fans at the scene, like flowers all over the mountains, bloomed in the entire arena.
Gao Fei had never felt that the cheers were so loud. He advanced with the ball and handed it to Kobe again.
"Kobe seems to be back to last season, only relying on scoring to drag the team forward," Mike Breen said, "Gao should be in trouble."
Reggie Miller said: "Gao's running has decreased significantly, and the defensive end has not played as well as it should. Except for injuries, I can't think of any reason."
D'Antoni is still hesitating whether to target Goofy.
On-the-spot response belongs to the scope of work of the coach. As long as a decision is made, the players will definitely implement it according to the tactical arrangement.The corresponding result is to bear the responsibility.
"Leandro, you go out and target Gao." Finally, he made a difficult decision.
Barbosa took off his warm-up suit and stood on the sidelines, waiting for the dead ball to be substituted.
Phil Jackson could guess D'Antoni's tactical purpose, looked at Gao Fei who was breathing heavily, not sure if he could withstand the pressure.
Facing Gao Fei, Barbossa still hesitated.
"Leandro, Gao's condition is not good, you can attack boldly." Lagabel's slightly arrogant words reached Gao Fei's ears.
Gao Fei is also a big-name player in the arena, no matter what time, he will not tolerate the opponent's contempt.
Just as Barbosa was about to change direction, he felt a tremendous force. When he came back to his senses, the ball in his hand had been stolen.
Although the high body temperature took away part of Gao Fei's vitality, but the strength and weight are there, and it is still not a category that ordinary players can deal with.
Kobe knew that Gao Fei couldn't push back quickly, so he hurried to the frontcourt to meet his pass.
The Suns followed like dead horses.This shocking scene is like a footnote to some kind of picture, and it also reflects Kobe's gliding and slicing in the air.
In the third quarter, Kobe scored 25 points, carrying the team on his shoulders, and was not opened up by the offensively opened Suns.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Barbosa led the Suns to play a wave of offensive climax off the bench.
Kobe had just rested for 2 minutes and had to return to the court.
Goofy felt a little dizzy, unable to adapt to the light, and covered his sight with a towel.
He judged the situation on the court by the sound of the fans on the scene, and the cheers continued.
Phil Jackson looked at the scoreboard and found that the point difference had widened to 20 points, so he didn't call Gao Fei at the end of the bench.
Yang Jian looked at Gao Fei who was sitting on the bench and had hardly moved, and felt that the situation was not good.
Director Zhang said: "Usually at this time, Zen Master must have replaced Gao Fei long ago."
The director paid close attention to the American sports media, got the news that Gao Fei would not return for this game, and immediately conveyed it to the two commentators in the studio.
Yang Jian kept calm and said: "The latest news is that Gao Fei will probably not return to this game. We will continue to follow up on the follow-up situation."
Director Zhang said: "I guess I'm sick. Master Zen thinks that chasing points is hopeless, and there is no risk-taking Gao Fei to play."
Kobe Bryant continued to fight bloody in the fourth quarter, scoring 51 points, but still failed to lead the team to victory.
Gao Fei played 15 minutes and only scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
When the final whistle sounded, the American West Arena was filled with a festive and cheerful atmosphere.
Garivetti walked beside Gao Fei, did not go back to the locker room to change, and took a taxi to the fever clinic of the hospital.
The doctor took Gao Fei's temperature, and it was over 40 degrees.After examination, it was confirmed that the fever was caused by acute inflammation.
Jingle Bell!
The cell phone kept ringing.
Gao Fei heard the voice, but he didn't have the strength to reach for the phone at all.
The nurse helped Gao Fei infuse the bottle, exchanged a few words with Garivetty, and took him out the door.
Gao Fei held on for a few hours before, lying on the bed and couldn't bear it anymore, only felt his eyelids were heavy, and fell asleep groggyly.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Luke Wharton and Vujacic who were sitting by the hospital bed and came to visit. I tried hard to recall, only to remember that the semi-final G3 had already been played.His memory still stays in the scene where the Zen master asked questions before the start of the third quarter.
"Luke, which team won the game?" Gao Fei's body temperature dropped and he felt much more comfortable.
Both Luke Walton and Vujacic were a little sleepy, and it took a while to react to Gao Fei's words.
"You're awake." Luke Wharton looked at his watch and found that it was already 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Did the sun win?" Gao Fei asked again.
"The sun won." Vujacic answered the question slightly frustrated.
"Oh." Gao Fei only said one word.He was originally full of ambition and wanted to help the team win the G3 series, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by unexpected circumstances.
Vujacic yawned.
Luke Walton said: "Kobe is back in Los Angeles."
Gao Fei knew that Vanessa was about to give birth, and said, "Luke, Sasha, thank you for coming. I'm fine, you go back first."
"Are you all right?" Luke Wharton asked a little uncertainly.
"My fever is gone." Gao Fei said, "I can ask the nurse if I have anything to do. You played a game, go back and rest."
Luke Walton and Vujacic are gone, leaving only Goofy in the ward.He looked up at the ceiling, turned on the system mode, and communicated with the system avatar.
Gao Fei asked calmly, "Why don't you come out and help me?"
"People have health and illness, and they are all within the normal range." The system avatar sat on a wooden box, resting his chin with his hands, looking very deep, "I will improve most of your skills, but I will not interfere with injuries."
"Understood." Gao Fei said softly, "It's really strange. When you are healthy, you don't realize the value of health, but when you are sick, you are willing to give up everything in exchange for health."
"Many people think so." The system avatar said, "Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it. It's better to grasp the present moment."
Gao Fei suddenly realized, watching the system avatar disappearing gradually, his eyes returned to the real scene.
In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Fei received another drip, checked his body, and left the hospital after confirming that he was fine.
Zen master gave the whole team a holiday and did not arrange training.
Odom saw Goofy in the hallway and asked, "Gao, how are you feeling?" The game is important, but not in comparison to life.
"It's okay." Gao Fei replied with a smile.
"Kobe hasn't come back yet. The two core affairs are entangled, which is very worrying." Odom said the feelings of some teammates.
"We also experienced a 1-2 deficit in the first round, so there is no need to be too nervous." Gao Fei is the captain, trying to stabilize the morale of the army.
Gao Fei had a vague impression of the third game, so he went back to the room and deepened his impression through video playback.
Kobe played almost all the stops, peripheral three-pointers, ball-handling breakthroughs and catch-and-shoot jumpers, as well as more sophisticated post-up singles.It was perfectly displayed in the second half of G3, and four words alone are enough to describe his performance.
In Gao Fei's few appearances, most of the time he looked like an outsider. Compared with the previous two games, he felt like two people.
The coaching staff also studied the video of the game and believed that the offensive firepower was no worse than that of the Suns, and the only disadvantage was the three-pointer.
The triangle offense does not encourage three-point shooting. Once upon a time, Jackson would punish players for shooting three-pointers.With the changing times, gradually accepting new things has become an inevitable trend.
The two-day adjustment time from the third game to the fourth game seemed extremely rushed due to various off-court factors.I haven't reacted yet, and there are only a few hours left before G4.
Kobe arrived in Phoenix at four o'clock in the afternoon, took a taxi, and went directly to the away locker room at the American West Arena.
He called Gao Fei: "Gao, have you recovered from your illness?"
"It was fine yesterday," Gao Fei asked, "how are you?"
"Vanessa gave birth to a daughter." Kobe finally let go of one thing on his mind and prepared to face the fourth game with all his heart. "Come to the arena, let's get familiar with the venue in advance."
Gao Fei took a taxi to the American West Arena, and immediately put on his jersey and warm-up suit.
The two walked into the arena, ignored the media workers, picked up a basketball, walked into the court and started training.
Kobe and Goofy practice post-up singles, with Kobe attacking and Goofy defending.
The fans who entered the stadium in advance sat on the side seats and quietly watched the pre-match preparations of the two stars.
Gao Fei's vitality was restored, and his defensive power was displayed, which made Kobe show the demeanor of four ups and downs.
"It's a good job." Kobe likes challenges and keeps improving in the face of difficulties.Compared with before, he has basically adapted to Gao Fei's defensive strength.
Phoenix fans believed that Solar had won the fourth game, and they walked into the arena ahead of schedule with great anticipation.
Regardless of their status as visiting team players, Gao Fei and Kobe are both watchable guards who can attract fans.Just warming up on the court can get a lot of attention.
Time goes faster and faster when you are full of fear, and every second seems to be delayed when the days feel like years.
The Lakers still haven't found a way to limit the Suns, which makes most players lack confidence.
When they saw the two guards warming up on the court, their uncertainty was slightly reduced.
Taylor sat in the living room after a long day at work, wearing the Lakers' No. 6 road jersey and supporting Goofy.
Although she very much hoped that the Lakers could show dominance, the progress of the game did not develop as Lakers fans expected.
In the first half of the game, the Suns played an extremely gorgeous running and bombing, scoring 71 points in two quarters, leading the Lakers by as many as 15 points.
Mike Breen and Reggie Miller are still in the commentary booth.They remained neutral and analyzed the situation in the second half.
Reggie Miller has played in the playoffs many times and knows that the psychological pressure of a big score of 2-2 and 1-3 is completely different.If the Suns take a big lead, there will be more than [-]% chance of advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
Mike Breen knows that there are not many teams that have completed a 1-3 reversal in history. He agrees with his partner and believes that the Lakers must do their best to win this game.
In the third quarter, the game changed suddenly. Gao Fei and Kobe played consecutive individual singles, gradually closing the gap.
The only problem is Stoudemire.
The Lakers' weak inside strength caused Stoudemire, who feels hot, to play like a god of war.The personal performance at the end of the third quarter almost destroyed Odom's confidence.
"Gao, Kobe, there is no rest time in the fourth quarter. You must lead the team out of the predicament." Phil Jackson planned to let the two proud disciples play the fourth quarter.
Gao Fei and Kobe are both players with bottomless physical fitness, and they continue to stand on the court.
The Suns scored nearly [-] points in the three quarters, which seemed unattainable.
Nash looked confident as he dribbled the ball forward amidst the cheers of the audience.
Marion ran laterally, circled to the right, and received a pass from Nash.
The ape arm is relaxed, and the posture is not elegant to hit the basket!
Suns fans were ready to cheer, only to see the basketball fanned out of the court.
Goofy high-fives Luke Walton, telling him to go back and defend.
Kobe marked Lagabel, never leaving him, not giving him the slightest space.
After receiving the serve, Nash observed the dynamics of his teammates and found that he seemed to be fighting alone.
Gao Fei is undoubtedly a player with extremely strong single-defense ability, full of pressure.The reduced pass threat allowed Nash to face the best defender.
"Come on!" Gao Fei is also a top point guard, able to gain insight into the situation on the court, and knows that Nash will rely on his personal offense to open up the situation in this round.
Nash's dribbling rhythm is unique, avoiding physical confrontation, riding a horse and shooting arrows while moving.
Goofy's athletic talent is far beyond Nash's imagination!
Fresh big hot pot, for Nash who wants to layup.
Marion got the basketball and found that the 24-second violation was about to be violated. He threw it and almost hit it.
Bryant sprints into the paint, protecting the defensive rebound.
He saw that Gao Fei had already run to the front court, making fast long passes, and the classic connection was reproduced on the court.
Goofy leaps forward, ignores the interference in the arena, and pulls the bow with one hand and smashes the buckle!
84-99!
The difference is still huge!
D'Antoni trusted Nash so much that he didn't call a timeout.
"Run!" Nash's instructions to his teammates were very simple. A team that relied on running and bombing would not fail any opponent in terms of running alone.
Dior caught the ball in a mess, made a wonderful pass to the basket again, and handed it to Stoudemire who was going smoothly.
Stoudemire was not polite, turned around and crushed Odom, causing a strong foul.
The atmosphere in the American West Arena became lively again.
Chasing points relies on defense, which cannot restrain the Suns' offense, and it is difficult to close the point difference.
Gao Fei stood at the top of the arc, unable to think of a way to restrict Stoudemire.
With the Stoudemire card in his hand, D'Antoni felt a lot more at ease. He sat back on the bench and watched the game comfortably.
"Please, come and restrain Amare Stoudemire." Taylor sat on the sofa, clasped his hands, and dared not watch the inside matchup.
Odom attempted a layup and was blocked by a crazy Stoudemire.
This scene is the epitome of the fourth game.
Gao Fei rushed over to catch the ball, but instead of hugging it well, he threw the basketball out of the sideline.
Sun bench seats!
"Gao Fei is in a hurry. Now is his true level, before it was just a fluke." Sun's substitute player didn't know Gao Fei's strength, so he followed the wind and stomped him to the ground.
"It's about the same. There are at least a dozen players who are better than him in defense. For commercial value, the league awarded him the best defensive player. It's a shame."
The Sun water cooler players talked and laughed happily.Their thoughts represent the real views of some people.
They have almost never confronted Gao Fei head-on, and they always have the illusion that they can crush Gao Fei who is not black.That kind of scene has a sense of pointing the country.
There are still 4 minutes until the end of the game!
The Suns still hold a lead of about 15 points.
Nash has experienced the pain of being overturned, and he is not careless in the slightest, nor is he as arrogant as a water dispenser player.He controlled the rhythm, played steadily, and wanted to finish the game smoothly.
"Steve Nash obviously doesn't want to give the Lakers any chance." Mike Breen said, "He is like the most experienced hunter, laying traps and wanting to harvest fat prey."
"The performance of the Lakers' double guards in the regular season is obvious to all. If they fall in the second round, there will definitely be criticism." Reggie Miller knows the outside world's pursuit of double guards. The higher the position, the harder it will be when it falls. awful.
Stoudemire received the ball inside, crushed Odom and turned around, trying to dunk with his left hand!
Snapped!
Losing patience, Odom failed to control his emotions and hit Stoudemire on the shoulder, leading to his sixth personal foul.
As he walked to the sidelines, the fans cheered him on.What's more, started shouting MVP.
Odom knew that these voices were sarcasm, and he had no choice but to sit on the bench.
The difference of fifteen points seems to have remained unchanged.
On the right side of the high-flying point, Kobe faced the defense and forced a three-pointer!
clang!
Playing for a long time in a row has finally affected his power.
Stoudemire caught Chris Mim and got the defensive rebound.
Gao Fei sprang out from the silent place, and took off the basketball from Stoudemire's hand!
Before Stoudemire could react, the opponent had already risen from the ground.When he looked up, he found that Gao Fei was holding the basket with one hand!
SLAM DUNK!
96-109!
"Don't give up!" Gao Fei shouted loudly, driving up the morale that was about to sink with his surging passion.
D'Antoni stands courtside, ready for three match points.
Chris Mim's flexibility is not as good as Odom, and was pulled to a high position by Stoudemire.He defended Stoudemire, appearing more difficult.
Stoudemire seized the opportunity, singled out face-to-face, and broke through with the ball.
Chris Mim's lateral movement speed is not fast enough to stop him, knowing that he has entered the BOUNS stage, he dare not make a foul.
Stoudemire leaned forward for a layup and scored two points!
The personal score broke through the 40-point mark and scored 41 points!
Nash and Stoudemire celebrated by high-fiving, ready to meet the counterattack of the Lakers duo.
Gao Fei didn't pass the ball, broke through the middle, and passed Lagabel cleanly!
There is only a thin line between heaven and hell, will you come with me?
Received the ball with one hand, and Stoudemire, who defended through the inside line, made a shocking dunk!
Mike Breen and Reggie Miller couldn't control the decibels and yelled and commented.
The on-site footage gives a slow-motion playback, presenting the beautiful and powerful dunk more intuitively in front of the audience.
The NBA's broadcast camera is quite professional, and the camera positions are well selected, and there is a feeling of flying high.Even if you don't play, you can feel the panic that the storm is coming.
Gao Fei won a 2+1 chance.
Hollow hit!
99-111!
Gao Fei launched a full-court mark, trying to make Nash make mistakes.This is an almost impossible task, tried several times, but still failed to steal.
Nash quickly pushed to the front court and handed the ball to Barbosa.
Barbosa is another outside ball-holding point for the Suns besides Nash. Facing Kobe's defense, he distributed the ball to Lagabel.
Lagabel bent to hold the ball and broke through Vujacic, who was too aggressive on the defensive end.
beep!
Vujacic wanted to fight with his body too much, he couldn't control his strength, and a foul occurred.
The cumulative number of fouls by the Lakers has reached, and this foul sent Lagabel to the free throw line!
Lagabel was cheered by the crowd, relaxed and hit two free throws.
99-113!
3 minutes and 11 seconds!
Gao Fei advanced with the ball, ignored any other voices, and accelerated in a straight line to get rid of the defense!
Lagabel knew that Gao Fei was going to make another kill, and was afraid that he would score 2+1, so he fouled in advance.
Goofy only took 6 seconds from serving the ball to getting to the free throw line.
Gao Fei had a calm mind, tried to forget about the point difference, and imagined this as a daily free throw training.
The unparalleled ball feeling is fully reflected in the shooting process, and the same movement looks more smooth and silky.
Made two free throws!
101-113!
3 minutes and 05 seconds!
Gao Fei's expression was extremely focused, without any distracting thoughts.Interfere with Nash from the serve, not giving any chance to run easily.
Nash is not just an American defender who only knows how to rush forward. He quickly throws the ball and hands it to Stoudemire who supports the center line.
The sun, which has always played fast, stabilized the rhythm and pressed the time.Now they are in an absolute leading position, as long as they can stabilize, they can reap the victory.
Nash's arc top organization is handed over to Lagabel on the right.
Vujacic's defensive ability is not strong, more than active, lack of skills and experience.Under his defense, Lagabell played like Jordan and Kobe.
Lagabel was a little bit floating, broke through with the ball, and showed a poor offensive performance.
"Lagabel, be careful!" Stoudemire noticed that Gao Fei was running from the blind spot, and reminded Lagabel loudly.
The voice reacted much faster than the body. Lagabel realized the danger, but it was too late to protect the ball.In a hurry, he dialed the ball out by himself.
Luke Walton picked up the ball and passed it quickly to Goofy.
Kobe was at the top of the arc, confirmed that Gao Fei got the ball, turned around and rushed forward!
Both Odom and Kwame Brown rose from the bench to watch the frontcourt, ready to cheer.
Goofy passes the ball long to Kobe!
Kobe quickly ran to the basket, ignored the defense, and dunked with both hands!
103-113!
beep!
The referee Javi blew his whistle and executed the timeout called by D'Antoni.
"Steady your mind, the game is not over yet, don't be careless." D'Antoni first hit the slightly slack players.
Nash said: "Steady the rhythm, as long as the focus is on Amare, the game can be closed steadily."
"There are less than 3 minutes left in the game. Control the rhythm and accept the game first." D'Antoni did not arrange tactics, emphasizing on suppressing the rhythm.
The Zen master didn't adjust, so he let Goofy and Kobe play.
Goofy stands on the sideline, arms outstretched, and interferes with the server.
Kobe followed Nash closely, restricting his movement and avoiding the ball from the most stable ball handler.
Diaw is another player with a clear mind. After receiving the serve, he took the initiative to dribble the ball and pass it to Stoudemire!
Stoudemire knew that Gao Fei was not nearby, and no one else could pose a threat to him, so he turned around and passed Chris Mim, and attacked the unguarded basket again!
This dunk was powerful and heavy, like a heavy hammer, smashing a large part of the Lakers' hope of a comeback.
Defense is the key to winning. If you can't do it, you can only count on the offense to be stronger than the opponent.
The Lakers failed to do both.
Gao Fei quickly received the serve, took a step outside the three-point line, and fired without hesitation!
Swish!
106-115!
2 minutes and 26 seconds!
"Gao hasn't given up yet," Reggie Miller said. "As long as he's healthy and standing on the court, he's not used to giving up games."
Nash was blocked by Goofy and once again fell into the predicament of not being able to catch the ball.
Dior stayed in the backcourt, received a serve from Stoudemire, and quickly led the half court.He didn't rush to attack, and suppressed the rhythm to hit the success rate.
The Lakers players were extremely active and rushed up quickly, but unfortunately they didn't dare to make fouls and couldn't pose a greater threat.
Nash finally received the basketball, facing Gao Fei's fierce defense, he hurriedly split it out again.
In nearly a decade in the NBA, he has never seen a defender as aggressive as Goofy.It was as if a shield originally used for defense had become a weapon for attacking opponents in Gao Fei's hands.
Dior suppressed until 7 seconds left in the attack time, lobbed the ball to Stoudemire, and ended the attack from an unsolvable attack point.
Chris Mim stretched out his arms, faced the confrontation directly, and defended hard.
When Stoudemire beat Chris Mim, it was as easy as drinking tea and water. He dribbled past the defense and felt a powerful force just as he was about to dunk.
Gao Fei blocked the block with both hands and hit his hand!
The basketball was suppressed by a huge force, it bounced off the board, and flew straight over the center line.
Stoudemire's right hand was pressed on the backboard, causing severe pain and an unknown fire.Goofy pushed the ground with both hands angrily.
Chris Mim quickly stood between Stoudemire and Goofy to stop the situation from developing further before the referee rushed over.
With a calm expression, Gao Fei looked at Stoudemire who was spouting trash.
He doesn't want to be judged by the media as a player who loses and loses.As a basketball player, the best way to fight back against doubts and contempt is to beat your opponent on the court.
Gao Fei soared from the bottom to the sky and established his core position, all relying on his performance on the court.
Jia Wei looked back at the video of the game. Although Stoudemire pushed angrily, he did not give any penalty.
"Javi, Amare made a push. This is an obvious technical foul, why didn't he call it?" Kobe knew that Gao Fei didn't like to argue, so he went to the referee and argued for his teammates.
"Gao's defensive action was too big, and he was close to a technical offender. He hit [-] rebounds each and was only sentenced to a common foul." Jia Wei patiently explained the reason for the penalty.
When Kobe learned the reason for calling the penalty, he could only give up and watch Stoudemire make free throws.
Stoudemire made two free throws!
106-116!
2 minutes and 05 seconds!
The Suns didn't defend the whole court, Chris Mim served the floor ball, stopped the watch and launched an attack.
Gao Fei picked up the basketball when he was close to the halfway line, and quickly led it across the half court, and saw Kobe coming out of the bag.
The basketball flew out of his hands and into the hands of another guard with a big heart.
Kobe Bryant took off from outside the three-point line and made an elegant three-point shot!
Swish!
109-116!
1 minutes and 58 seconds!
D'Antoni didn't expect the desperate double guards to be so fierce, and called a timeout again to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.
"They haven't given up yet! Don't take it lightly!" D'Antoni didn't know why he yelled, maybe the atmosphere was here, "When they serve, they must fight all over the court and let the watch go. The offense still needs to be steady, as long as Suppress the rhythm, and we will be sure to win."
Neither Goofy nor Bryant spoke during the timeout.They hardly rested throughout the second half, and no matter how hard the Iron Man was, he would get tired.
But at the moment of victory or defeat, there is no way to think about that much.
Gao Fei returned to the court and continued to press the defense.This time not only the double guards, but even Luke Walton joined in.
Marion responded to the serve, ran quickly, and almost made a mistake.
Dior responded in time to prevent the fruits of victory from slipping from his hands.Move quickly across the half court, avoiding Lakers trying to steal.
Kobe couldn't steal, he could only stick to the defense.As long as you can keep it, you can bet three points.
Diaw is a front line swingman, his body does not suffer, and he can withstand Kobe's confrontation.
Nash couldn't get rid of the entanglement, so he simply pulled away and let his teammates execute offensive tactics.
Marion responded to the pass, faced Luke Walton's defense, and lobbed the ball to Stoudemire inside.
Chris Mim defended the basket, stretching his arms to increase the defensive area.
Stoudemire didn't rush to attack, he cooperated with the high and low positions, and passed to Dior on the outside.
Diaw looked at the timer, confirmed that there were only 3 seconds left on the offensive clock, and shot a three-pointer against the defense!
Luke Walton wasn't athletic enough to block shots or even interfere.
Hit the board!
109-119!
1 minutes and 34 seconds!
The Zen master called a timeout to reduce the attack time.
"Boris Diaw's three-pointer is equivalent to killing the game." Reggie Miller said, "The playoffs are different from the regular season. It is difficult to have the miracle of consecutive scoring reversals."
Goofy wouldn't give up before the buzzer, serve the ball downfield, and wait for Bryant to run to the top of the key.
Kobe catches the ball and turns around, facing Marion to defend the jumper!
Same way, same angle!
Answer Ball!
112-119!
1 minutes and 29 seconds!
Yang Jian said: "The two guards of the Lakers are really good, but this milk came a little late. If they played this way earlier, they might have won the game."
Director Zhang said: "The Suns are not in a hurry now. They suppress the rhythm. If there are no mistakes, it will be difficult for the Lakers to even out the point difference."
Diaw became the most stable ball-holding point for the Suns in the final stage, avoiding Luke Walton's defense, and dribbling to the frontcourt took time.
Luke Wharton, like a hyena attracted by carrion, pounced again.
However, there is a widely circulated saying on the court that no matter how fast a person runs, he cannot keep up with the speed of passing the ball.Whether it is a basketball court or a football field, this sentence applies.
Marion responds to the pass and passes it to Lagabel on the right before the defense gets in.
Gao Fei could only make a foul and send Lagabel to the free throw line.
Lagabell tugged at the front of his jersey, stepped to the free-throw line, and made the all-important free throw.
Nash walked over and asked Lagabel to increase the adjustment time to try to breathe smoothly.
The fans in the audience held their breath and only dared to burst into cheers when they saw the free throw.
Made two free throws! !
112-121!
1 minutes and 05 seconds!
Gao Fei looked at the scoreboard and knew that time was no longer on the Lakers' side.
Zen master arranged the sideline ball tactics in the front court, stood on the sidelines, and watched the players execute them.
Goofy was designated as the server, causing the Suns' defensive attention to focus on Kobe.
Marion's defense was better than last time, interfering with Kobe's shooting rhythm.
clang!
Stoudemire grabbed the defensive rebound!
Chris Mim reacted quickly and made a foul, sending Stoudemire to the free throw line.
Stoudemire made two free throws!
The Lakers have no timeout.
Gao Fei saw Kobe Bryant trying to rush out of the frame again, and knew that the game was over.
The Lakers lost to the Suns by a score of 114-125, lost three games in a row, and fell behind by a big score of 1-3.From being out, with just one loss remaining.
高飞全场打了46分钟,32分11篮板12助攻;科比42分5篮板6助攻!
小斯47分15篮板;纳什19分5篮板16助攻。
The Lakers players bowed their heads and walked into the player tunnel, and the cheers from the arena came in, which deepened the unspeakable loss in the silence.
"The best player in the world?" Gao Fei thought mockingly, "Only the team that wins the championship is the best team. As for the best individual, stop making trouble, there is no standard at all. It's time to put That idea was dropped."
He didn't encourage his teammates this time.Now that he has come to this point, it is useless to say more, as long as he loses one more game, all the hard work this year will be in vain.
Gao Fei feels that the third scene of his accidental illness is a turning point, but everything is in the past, and he can only look forward.
He calmly changed into casual clothes and attended the press conference with Kobe.
"After the first victory, you lost three games in a row. Is it because of underestimating the enemy, or because of strength?" The reporter's question was sharp, but what he said was the truth.
Kobe's face was ugly, and he didn't answer for the time being.
Gao Fei said calmly: "We did not underestimate the enemy, the Suns played better. There is still a chance, we will continue to adjust." He tried his best to avoid saying things that would cause an uproar.
The entire post-game press conference process was full of making things difficult for the Lakers' double guards.Gao Fei, who lived in a foreign country, was the first to bear the brunt.
Gao Fei tried his best to remain calm and calmly responded to these sharp questions.
After the last question was answered, Gao Fei heaved a sigh of relief and left with Kobe.
"I think it is necessary to hold a player meeting." Gao Fei walked in the player tunnel and said to Kobe beside him.
Kobe knew that the team had reached the edge of a cliff, and the mentality of some teammates would definitely be affected. He felt that the player meeting was a good choice.Anyway, at this point, you can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The atmosphere in the bus was a bit depressing, and there were almost no smiles on the faces of the players.
The sound of the engine is the only natural sound source.
"Guys, before heading back to Los Angeles, let's have a player meeting." Bryant took the initiative to break the silence.
Zen Master smiled and said, "This is a very wise choice. After your meeting is over, we will return to Los Angeles."
The players returned to the hotel and gathered in the luxurious suite where Goofy lived.
Gao Fei spoke first: "Before the start of G3, I used to point the country unscrupulously. Now that the team has fallen into this situation, I am the primary responsible person."
The team members knew that Gao Fei was a player who dared to take responsibility, and did not refute his words.
"I'll be the first to say that I will defend the G5 game at the Staples Center with you!" Gao Fei originally wanted to say "I will survive once and be super god", but the rain kept falling and the atmosphere was not very harmonious, so I still spoke in a well-regulated manner .
Kobe was silent for a while, cleared his mind, and said: "We can't pay attention to the big score now, it will bring extra pressure. What we have to do now is to focus on each game in order to retain the hope of promotion."
Luke Walton has been in the team for some years, and said: "The sun is strong, and we are not weak, especially in the final stage of today's game. Gao and Kobe played a dominant role. As long as we are united, we may not be unable to achieve continuous success. Win three."
Kobe nodded in agreement.He is not a character who likes to talk empty words, but it is a matter of morale, so he still has to say some encouraging words.
As long as you don't give up, miracles may happen.
Gao Fei said: "The responsibility for G3 and G4 lies with me. I will do my best in every next game. But I can't think so far. The first thing to do is to defend the home court and continue to maintain the suspense of the series."
The team members expressed their attitudes separately, and they were all willing to do their best to contribute all their energy to the Lakers, teammates and Los Angeles fans.
It was almost midnight, the players packed their backpacks, got on the bus again, rushed to the airport to board the team airliner, and returned to Los Angeles overnight.
"Gao, the two of us disappointed the Los Angeles fans." When Kobe sat on the plane, he chatted with Gao Fei alone.
Gao Fei felt a headache when he thought of facing so many fans who trusted him so much.But he is not a person who is used to avoiding, saying: "Since you let them down, find a way to fight back with performance. This is what we can do as players."
"Yeah, it's just that there is not much time to adjust. You study the video more and try to find a good way. We really can't lose any more." Kobe had an almost paranoid desire for victory, and was willing to give everything for victory.He knows that the high flying ball quotient is very high, and I hope he can find a good countermeasure.
Taylor and Gao Fei determined the time to return to Los Angeles in advance, hired a taxi driver, and asked him to run the night bus to pull Gao Fei back from the airport.
Gao Fei put his backpack by the door and sat on the sofa in the living room, not feeling sleepy at all.
"Gao, what happened in the third game?" Taylor brought a bottle of Gatorade and handed it to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei was not in the mood to drink, so he put Gatorade on the coffee table, and said, "I had a high fever that time, and I couldn't even remember what happened in the second half. The fourth game really shouldn't have been lost."
"It's a foregone conclusion now," Taylor said, sitting next to him. "You have to look forward. Isn't there a slogan in the NBA called "Where Miracles Happen?" Before it's really out, everything will turn around."
Goofy thanked Taylor for his comfort and asked, "How is your album going?"
"It's going well, the first single will be released in June."
"I hope I'm still playing at that time." Gao Fei hoped that he could overcome the difficulties and move forward.
