Chapter 154 A Strong Choice (for more updates)

Taylor was still busy with the new album, so he sent Gao Fei to the airport without accompanying him, and returned to the studio by car.

Gao Fei sat on the plane and found that Kobe looked a little tired.

"What's wrong?" Goofy asked.

"Vanessa is about to give birth, I barely rested yesterday." Kobe was tired and excited at the same time.

The first time the plane took off, Kobe fell asleep in his seat.

Gao Fei took out the MP4, put on the earphones, and started playing music.There are many songs included in it. The song being played does not match the mood. Press the fast-forward button to switch to the next song.

"Don't Break My Heart" by the Black Panthers was transmitted to the cochlea through headphones, freeing Goofy from the English ABCD.

Chinese is something imprinted in his bones, listening to vicissitudes of music, closing his eyes, as if returning to his long-lost hometown.

A few hours later, the team plane landed at Phoenix Airport.

Gao Fei woke Kobe up, took his backpack, transferred to the bus, and headed to the away hotel.

"Why didn't you use the music player I gave you?" Kobe discovered that the MP4 in Gao Fei's hand was another model.

Gao Fei took off an earphone and said with a smile: "The one you gave me is a joint commemorative model, which is suitable for collection. You can use an ordinary player for daily listening to music."

Kobe felt a little hot in the car and said, "Phoenix is ​​really hot."

Gao Fei was wearing a T-shirt, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have the foresight."

"There will be air conditioning in the hotel." Odom was in a good mood and took the initiative to answer.

The bus driver heard the players talking and said, "Sorry, I'll turn on the air conditioner right away."

The air-conditioning hole on the top of the seat blows cold air, and Gao Fei feels refreshed instantly.

"Gao, when you first came here, it was just about to enter winter, but I didn't expect it to be early summer." Kobe sighed, "Time flies so fast."

"Yeah. Especially for athletes who have only a dozen years in their careers, the years are even more ruthless."

Vujacic said with a smile: "Most of the Lakers are young people, isn't it too early to say this?"

"Things in this league are fickle, so it's good to grasp the present. As for the future, it should be left to time." Gao Fei always feels that the future is far away, and he should focus on the present.

The away hotel came into view, and the players returned to silence.

Kobe still stayed on the last topic, got out of the car with his bag, walked side by side with Gao Fei, and asked, "Gao, have you ever thought about how long you'll be playing?"

"If the career is bright enough, it's good to play for ten years. If the career is not very smooth, maybe play for a while."

"Why only played for 10 years?" Kobe was a little surprised. "Aren't point guards getting better and better as they get older? Look at Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. The more they play, the more influence they have on the game."

"Perhaps. Everyone has different ideas." Gao Fei hung the strap of the shoulder bag on his forehead and said with a smile, "I like ephemeral, but when it blooms, it must amaze the world."

"Yes." Kobe and Goofy often confronted each other on the training ground, and felt more deeply than the guards of other teams.Not only is this young man single-handedly fierce, but his role in the team is even more immeasurable.

Kobe once wanted to partner with Kidd, but now by mistake, the team got Goofy who is stronger than Kidd.He felt lucky enough to have the right to hit the O'Brien Cup again.

"Kobe, how do you think we should deal with Amare?" Gao Fei pondered for a long time, but without a good strategy, he asked others for their opinions to see if he could come to a different conclusion.

Kobe took the time to study the videos of the first two games and said: "I didn't think of a good way. If Kwame Brown is not injured, maybe..."

"Understood." Gao Fei never thought about what if, looked at the dishes on the plate, and focused on the road under his feet, "Go and rest, I will study and study."

Kobe dragged his tired body back to the spacious and comfortable room, and soon fell asleep.

Gao Fei put the shoulder bag on the sofa, unzipped it, took out the video tapes of the previous two games, put them in the DVD player, and turned on the TV.

Watching from the perspective of the broadcast, I feel that Nash is like an elf on the court.There is no warning in passing the ball, and the shooting is smooth and silky, as if the court is his natural drawing board, swaying pen and ink on the court.

Gao Fei focused on observing himself. The offensive end was impeccable, and his movements were clean and neat without the slightest sloppiness.

"Unfortunately, I have to take care of the overall situation, otherwise I will definitely be a good offensive player." Gao Fei examined his offense from the perspective of a bystander, and couldn't find any faults.

"Boy, do you know a word?" The voice of the system avatar came from his mind.

Gao Fei turned on the system mode, the mental body appeared, and asked, "Which word?"

"Those who can do more work." The avatar of the system turned into Pat Riley this time, smoking a cigar, looking quite like a godfather.

"Of course I've heard of it." Gao Fei had been exposed to culture classes, so he naturally knew the term.

"You have the strongest ball quotient, you can drive any tactics, and you should drive the team." The system avatar said, "As for scoring, Kobe, Odom, Luke Walton and Vujacic can all bear it. You can do it."

"Odom seems to be able to organize it too?" Gao Fei asked doubtfully.

The system avatar smiled: "Of course he can organize, but do you think he is at the same level as you?"

"No." Gao Fei was very clear about this.

"Organization may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually a very important part of team sports. If you open your eyes and look at European basketball, you will find that their teamwork is better than that of the NBA." Simply limited to the NBA.

Goofy said: "Basketball is not very popular in Europe. They seem to prefer football."

"This doesn't affect the level." The system avatar said, "The basketball on their side is closer to the essence of team sports. On the contrary, the American side puts more emphasis on individual heroism."

"This is the habit of Americans. Whether it's Hollywood movies or the NBA, they seem to like to make this set of eye-catching things."

"Now that you know the inside story here, you should stick to the essence of basketball. The whole team sport is greater than the individual." The system embodies the words and earnestly educates Gao Fei.

"I've always known that." Gao Fei is not a stubborn person who can put aside personal honor and put sportsmanship and championships ahead of everything else.

"Even if you are in the national team, you still have to keep in mind that it is better to be united as a whole than to fight alone." The system avatar asked Gao Fei again before disappearing.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!

Three knocks on the door!

Gao Fei turned off the system mode, opened the door, and was very surprised to see Kobe who had become lively again: "Have you rested enough?"

"After retiring, there is plenty of rest time, and now there is still unfinished business, so we should work hard." Kobe brought the videotape and said, "Let's study the game video together."

Gao Fei pointed to the paused TV and said, "You might as well call Luke Walton, Vujacic, and Odom."

Kobe sat on the sofa and said, "Since you want to call all the starters, you might as well call all your teammates and watch the video of the game together."

"Good idea." Gao Fei called Odom and asked him to give up rest temporarily and come to the luxury suite to watch the game video.

"Isn't it?" Odom was thinking about how to have fun, but he didn't expect to be summoned suddenly.

"You call all your teammates." Goofy ignored Odom's slightly bitter tone and sent him another mission.

Fifteen minutes later, the entire Lakers team arrived at Goofy's room.

Odom looked around and said, "I still lived in this room last season. After a year, the situation is very different."

Gao Fei said with a smile: "If you want to move back, you have to show better performance. At least you have to guard against Amare Stoudemire first."

"Let's forget it. If he can be guarded, the sun won't be so strong." Odom knew that Goofy was much stronger than him, so he wouldn't want to go back to the luxury suite.

Kobe signaled his teammates to be quiet and asked them to sit down and watch the video of the game together.

The broadcast angle can better see the panorama of the stadium, and observe more than the players on the field.

Gao Fei said, "Kobe, pause for a moment."

Although Kobe didn't understand what Gao Fei was going to do, he pressed pause.

Gao Fei walked over, pointed to the paint area on the right, and said, "This time we played a low off-ball screen. Sasha, you ran in the wrong direction and brought the defender to me. The next shot is that I encountered Double-team, then clear with a pull-up jumper."

Vujacic knew that Gao Fei attached great importance to tactical execution, and his heart sank, thinking that he might be scolded.

Gao Fei explained: "I could pass the ball to you, but instead of doing so, I chose a more difficult way of attacking. I want to apologize and will definitely correct it in the future."

The teammates looked at Gao Fei, and then looked at each other.They never expected that Gao Fei would apologize for Vujacic's wrong tactics.

"I mean always think about the team," Gao Fei said, "Of course, I still hope that you can get the tactics right."

Odom laughed and patted Vujacic: "Pay attention in the future."

Kobe didn't like to smile when he was doing business, and said seriously: "Lamar, you make more mistakes on the defensive end, don't laugh at half a hundred steps."

Odom stopped smiling immediately.

Vujacic faced Gao Fei directly, but also did not dare to laugh, so he forcibly held back and continued to watch the replay of the video.

The first few rounds that were coming to an end in the first half came, and the teammates held their breath, not sure whether Goofy would dare to criticize Kobe.

"Kobe, press pause again." Gao Fei said calmly.

Kobe hit pause.

The room was unusually quiet, and a needle could be heard.The teammates looked at each other, not knowing what Gao Fei would say.

"You've played shit these few rounds!" Gao Fei's words shocked his teammates' jaws.They never imagined that Gao Fei was so tough.

Kobe was silent.

"Originally we were leading, but because of our eagerness for success, we fell behind at the end of the first half." Gao Fei said bluntly, "You were the organizer of the last game, and this responsibility cannot be escaped."

Kobe likes tough teammates, even if he is upset, he still knows that Gao Fei is telling the truth.

"Fortunately, you can return to the scoring position in the next game." Gao Fei said, "Continue to watch the video."

The teammates finally understood that Gao Fei was not only tough on his opponents, but also tough enough on his own people.This is what the locker room leader must do. Even if it is unpleasant, you can't deal with the problem like mud. Only by pointing it out bravely can you avoid making mistakes again.

An hour later, the team members walked out of Gao Fei's room and talked a lot when they returned to their respective rooms.

"To be honest, I was shocked when Gao Fei said Kobe." Brian Cook was still a little surprised. "I thought he would be more tactful, but I didn't expect him to be quite ruthless."

Odom said: "He is a Chinese who has traveled thousands of miles to play here. If he is not tough, how could he achieve today's achievements."

"Indeed, he is so strong that it explodes. Especially the brain, which seems to contain all the tactics in the basketball game." What Brian Cook admires the most is that Gao Fei talks and laughs with the assistant coach. As a result, the assistant coach learns a lot every time. It can be called reverse teaching.

"A monster is a monster after all, and it cannot be judged by common sense." Luke Wharton joked.

"He is indeed a monster, with such a perfect body and brain, and technology without dead ends. Who can stop him?" nightmare.

"Kobe can't even limit him, so let's forget about it." Luke Walton is self-aware, and at their level, he is not at the same level as Gao Fei.

"I'm going back to review the tactical notes. The next game is high master control, and the tactics will return to hell mode." Odom said, "It is estimated that only he can control so many tactics."

"I have to review too." Seeing Odom mentioning this, Brian Cook hurried back to the room, dug out the time to memorize the tactical notes, and was familiar with those complicated running routes and tactical purposes.

Luke Wharton stood in the corridor, opened the door, and thought, "Gao is an incredible man, he dares to do anything to win."

Kobe recalled the process of the last game, compared with the first game, and intuitively felt the gap with the master of organization.Although he is a player with comprehensive skills, there are too many doorways in the organization, which is far more than just passing the ball.

"Guy Gao, how did he keep so many things in his head?" He only organized one game, but he felt that his golf intelligence was not enough, and he felt that it was a miracle that Gao Fei could integrate the Lakers' offense and defense well.

The Phoenix Suns have never won a championship, and fans have high hopes for this Suns team.They put up posters on billboards, and they did a lot of events all over the city to support the team.

With nothing to do, Stoudemire ran to a Suns-themed bar to experience the fun of watching the game here.

The overall decoration color of the bar is the orange of the Suns. The Suns logo is reflected everywhere. There is a giant-screen TV hanging on the north wall, which is playing the replay of the western semifinals G2 in a loop.

"Dude, bring me a tequila." Stoudemire knocked on the bar with his right hand and asked the bartender for a drink.

The bartender heard the voice somewhat familiar, looked up and found that the customer sitting opposite the bar was Stoudemire, and became very excited: "My God! Amare Stoudemire!"

Stoudemire smiled and said, "Man, it's me. I need a tequila."

The bartender finally calmed down, took out the mixing glass, and began to help Xiao Si mix the tequila.

"Dude, will there be a live broadcast of the game tomorrow night?" Stoudemire asked the bartender while waiting.

"Of course," said the bartender, "there will be a lot of customers coming together to watch the game and make the atmosphere even better."

Stoudemire turned his head to look at the TV, just in time to see his consecutive dunks near the end of the first half. He felt very comfortable and said, "I will pay one hundred thousand dollars for the drinks here tomorrow."

The bartender was overjoyed and presented Stoudemire with a glass of tequila, telling the boss the good news.

The bar owner, also a wealthy man, decided to serve extra champagne for free until supplies last.

Stoudemire drank a glass of tequila, left the theme bar, and came to the road illuminated by dim street lights.

"There is no such atmosphere in the regular season," Stoudemire thought. "Not only the players on the team, but all the fans in this city are eager for the O'Brien Cup."

Personal honors belong to the players.The O'Brien Cup belongs not only to the players, but also to the team, and also to the city where the team is located.

The championship parade is a carnival for fans, and all participants can feel the joy of victory.This is one of the reasons why team operators relentlessly pursue the championship.

Nash did not relax at all, forgot the first two games, regarded the series as a best-of-five game, and seriously prepared for G3.

"Gao will definitely return to the point guard in the next game. I don't know what tactics he will use?" Nash sat by the window thinking ecstatically.As the brain of the team specializing in running and gunning, Gao Fei, who is also unable to figure out the bottomless tactical reserves.

The evening wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness and awakening Nash from his contemplation.

……

The next morning, the Lakers continued their training.Tactical running practice took the longest time, and Gao Fei appeared to be more severe than usual.

"The sweat on the eyebrows and the tears under the eyebrows can only be the same. I don't want to cry when I am eliminated! Everyone cheer up!" Gao Fei shouted loudly, not letting his teammates relax.

After the routine training was over, Odom saw that Gao Fei was going to practice more, so he ran away in a hurry, thinking: "Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been kept as a training partner."

Goofy is stricter with himself than others.Now that I have gritted my teeth and come here, I naturally want to go further.

At noon, Gao Fei and Kobe finished their extra training.

"Go back and have a good rest, and prepare for the challenge at night." Kobe played more times in the playoffs, knowing that every game is "a war without gunpowder smoke". If he wants to win the game, he must do his best. can't do it.

Gao Fei smiled and gave Kobe a high-five, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to play today's game."

The away game is not only a matter of support from the fans, but also the referee's penalty scale will be slightly biased towards the home team.Various factors are intertwined, making it much more difficult than playing at home.

The Suns have won a victory at the Staples Center and seized the home court advantage. If the Lakers want to win, they must perform well enough.

Gao Fei took a shower, turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the bed to rest.

When night fell, Gao Fei opened his eyes.He saw the windows first, and felt that they were in front of him, seeming surprisingly large.

The feeling of dizziness made Gao Fei feel extremely heavy in his body.

"Oops, I seem to have a fever." Gao Fei had experienced the flu and knew it was a typical fever symptom.

He struggled to find his cell phone and called Phil Jackson.

"Phil, I'm sick, let the team doctor come over." After speaking, he threw the phone beside the pillow.

The cold air from the air conditioner was still blowing on him, and he felt extremely cold, so he put the quilt on his body.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell is ringing!

Knowing that it was the team doctor, Gao Fei sat up reluctantly, feeling weak and weak as if his limbs had been filled with lead.Put on the slippers slowly, turn off the air conditioner, and open the door with heavy steps.

The team doctor, trainer Garivetti and Phil Jackson stood outside the door, seeing Goofy's face like a red light, they all knew that the guards on the team were sick.

"Gao, take your temperature first." The team doctor handed Gao Fei a thermometer.

Gao Fei tucked it under his arm and sat on the sofa in the living room. His body was hot and he felt a burst of coolness.

After 5 minutes, the team doctor took over the thermometer and checked it, saying: "101.84 degrees (38.8 degrees Celsius)."

"It seems to be a high fever," Garivetti raised his left hand, looked at his watch, and said, "There is still more than an hour before the start of the game, and we can only take one shot to reduce fever."

Knowing that Gao Fei would continue to play, Phil Jackson asked the team doctor to administer antipyretic injections: "Gao, take a rest and let Garivetti go with you when the game is about to start."

Goofy felt very uncomfortable and lay down on the sofa to rest.

Garivetti covered Goofy with a blanket and sat next to him to make sure he wouldn't delay the game.

Gao Fei sweated a lot, but the time was too short for the medicine to take full effect.

"It's time for us to start." Garivetti reminded Gao Fei knowing that the game would start in more than half an hour.

Gao Fei hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and went to the Suns' home stadium, the American West Stadium, with Garivetty.

"Gao, why did you come so late?" Odom didn't know the news of Gao Fei's illness, and thought it was very unusual.

"He's in a little trouble." Garivetti didn't let his teammates bother Gao Fei.

Gao Fei's limbs were still heavy, so he changed his jersey, put on his warm-up suit, and then began to put on his shoelaces.There were times when he couldn't even line up the holes in the laces.

Kobe could just see Gao Fei's face, and he seemed a little listless.He came over and asked in a low voice, "Gao, are you sick?"

Gao Fei lowered his voice and replied: "The match will start right away, don't talk about this."

Kobe knew that Goofy was a tough guy, and he would hold on to the game.If it were him, he would have made the same choice.

He understood that Gao Fei might not be able to perform at a normal level in this game, and decided to take on more responsibilities.

Gao Fei put on his purple sneakers, tied his shoelaces, and stood up to move around.The breath is still hot, and the strength is more empty than usual.

He wanted to deceive himself that the fever symptoms had passed, but his body was very honest, and there was no sign of recovery at all.

"Guys, it's time to get in and warm up." The team entourage didn't know Gao Fei's plight, and routinely informed the players to come in.

Gao Fei didn't know how to spend the shooting warm-up and appearance introduction. When he woke up again, Kobe had already stood on the court.

He turned on the system mode and called the system avatar, but he didn't get a response for a long time: "MD, why are you deserting at this time?"

Garivetti came to Gao Fei and said, "Gao, it's time for you to play."

Gao Fei had no choice but to turn off the system mode, took off his warm-up suit, tied the rope on his shorts, and stood on the court as usual.If it weren't for the overly rosy face, there would be no difference at all.

The referee for tonight's game is Dick Bavetta!

The Suns still wear white jerseys.

Nash touched the soles of his shoes, stretched his ligaments, and stood in the backcourt of the Suns, waiting for his teammates to jump the ball.

Gao Fei realized that the game was coming, and seemed more awake than before.

Odom still failed to jump to win, and the Suns first attacked.

Nash dribbled the ball across half court and faced Goofy's defense.

He is a very experienced offensive player. As soon as he came into contact with him, he found that Gao Fei's vitality was not as good as before.

Gao Fei's offensive end will not be particularly affected, but the defensive end will be greatly restricted, at least it is difficult for the defense to be effective.He had only one thought, to follow Nash on the defensive end.

Seeing Gao Fei's persistent pursuit, Nash thought that the feeling just now was just an illusion, and passed the ball to Lagabel on the right.

Stoudemire made a low post and received a pass from Lagabel.Turn around and pass Odom neatly, layup with left hand!

Lightweight board!

Lakers 0-2 Suns!

Gao Fei waited in the backcourt and took the serve from Odom.

He really couldn't get up to speed and walked halfway through.Homeopathic pass to the high Odom, began to run laterally.

If he hadn't known in advance, Kobe wouldn't have noticed that Gao Fei was ill.

The difference in details is still obvious.At least Lagabell didn't feel Goofy's aggression.

"What's the matter? After leaving the Staples Center, don't you dare to jump?" Lagabel thought it was a defensive victory, but Gao Fei was not in the mood to talk to him at all.

Kobe knew the high-flying situation, received the ball in the low post, and singled Marion with his post.

Stoudemire knew that Kobe's chances of passing the ball were very low, so he came over to help defend, trying to form a double-team.

Kobe flicked around, found space, and forced a shot against the defense!

"There's something wrong with this guy!" Lagabel knew that the enthusiasm of the first two high-flying games was almost different from the player in front of him who didn't rush to the basket.

Odom tossed the ball with his right hand and made a tip-up!

2-2!

Odom looked at Gao Fei and found that he didn't make a fist, and he also felt that something was wrong.

In previous games, as long as his teammates scored, Gao Fei would clenched his fists and celebrate together most of the time.Various absences tonight.

"Could Gao be sick?" Odom noticed that Gao Fei's running speed was slower than usual, and he couldn't help thinking to himself.

Nash passed Goofy lightly, which deepened this concern.

Gao Fei didn't want to be a burden, he gritted his teeth and accelerated, and came to Nash again.

Nash noticed that Gao Fei's breath was unstable, gave the ball to Stoudemire, and said, "I have noticed that your pace is slow, so don't push yourself."

Gao Fei didn't have the strength to respond, and put his right hand on Nash. Before he had time to rest, the other party ran away again.

Knowing that Gao Fei was in a weak state, Nash used his running position to drag him.

Relying on instinct, Gao Fei ran over and continued to chase Nash.

Even with all his strength, he still couldn't reach his usual speed, and was delayed by the sun's cover, so he could only watch Nash make a move.

Nash made a jumper from outside the three-point line and went into the net hollow!

Warm cheers erupted in the American West Arena, and they were given to Nash who scored the goal.

"Gao, you go to defend Lagabel, and I'll match up with Steve Nash." Kobe took the initiative to switch defenses with Gao Fei.

Gao Fei was well aware of his state and would never be able to keep up with the Son of the Wind, so he nodded in agreement.

"Gao, are you okay?" Odom asked as he ran the ball upfield.

"It's okay, play the triangle." Gao Fei said the tactics weakly.

Odom is too familiar with Gao Fei, who is alive and well, and confirmed that Gao Fei is in a weak state: "Gao, you usually support the team, and now we will carry you."

"Let's attack, no matter how bad I am, you can't compare." Gao Fei could see the slight contempt on Lagabel's face, and a burst of anger was burning in his heart.

Surprised from outside the three-point line!

Gao Fei shot confidently, completely ignoring Lagabel who was defending in front of him.

Swish!

5-5!

"Gao Quan is struggling with his experience and ability," Chan Master knew that Gao Fei's offensive and defensive ends had dropped a notch compared to usual, "I hope the sun will not target him."

Brian Shaw said worriedly: "Steve Nash is a man with a high golf quotient, just now he just got rid of Gao Fei's offense."

"Wait and see." Zen master witnessed Jordan's flu battle, and he didn't think Gao Fei would stretch his hips.

Gao Fei recognized the reality and handed Nash over to Kobe for defense, and was responsible for marking Lagabel, who was less of an offensive threat.

Nash knows how to target weaknesses and distribute the ball to Lagabel.

D'Antoni saw that Lagabel wanted to play singles with the ball, so he stood up hurriedly. Just as he was about to stop him loudly, he saw Lagabel get rid of Gao Fei's defense, broke through from the left, and scored a layup: "This..."

Not only D'Antoni felt dreamy, but even the commentator was extremely surprised.

Yang Jian said: "Lagabel is not very good at attacking with the ball. It is a bit unusual for Gao Fei to be passed by him."

Director Zhang said: "The state of Gao Fei's game is obviously not right. In the first two days, Lagabel would never dare to attack like this."

"I read the major media, but there is no report about Gao Fei's injury." Yang Jian took the time to look through the materials prepared before the game.

"It might be sick." Director Zhang made a conjecture.

Yang Jian echoed, "It's possible."

Goofy advanced with the ball and passed it to Odom.

Odom ignores Goofy for a moment and passes the ball to Bryant on the wing.

Kobe's organizational ability is not as good as Gao Fei's, but his offensive ability is about the same. He can stand alone for a while.

The Zen master called Smush Parker and asked him to warm up in advance and prepare to replace Gao Fei.

Smush Parker didn't expect to get a chance to play so early, took off his warm-up suit, and warmed up excitedly.

Zen master doesn't like to guide players to play, but wants them to play on their own.Even Smash Park allows a degree of freedom.

Gao Fei heard the whistle, high-fived Smush Parker, and sat back on the bench.

When he is healthy, he can play the whole game without getting tired.After being sick for a few minutes, I felt like my lungs were going to explode.

Garivetti walked up to Gao Fei and asked how he was doing: "Gao, how are you feeling?"

"It's not very good," Gao Fei didn't need to hide it from Garivetty, "I still feel weak in my limbs, especially my legs, as if they've been filled with lead."

"Drink water." Garivetti asked the caddy for a glass of ice water and handed it to Gao Fei.

One sip, the ice water seemed to freeze the chest cavity, but I was so thirsty that I could only drink it up.

Americans don't have the habit of drinking hot water. They didn't get used to it when they first came here, but it took a while for them to get used to it.

Gao Fei still felt thirsty, so he ordered another glass of Gatorade, and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked at his teammates on the court and felt that they were farther away than usual, and the voices of the audience could not be heard clearly.

The system mode was turned on, and Gao Fei called the system avatar again, but still did not get a response.He knew that the avatar of the system could hear the call, so there was naturally his reason for not showing up.

Gao Fei didn't get help, so he could only choose to carry it hard. Looking at the scoreboard, he found that the Suns led by 11 points.The current score is 17-28!

"Give me another cup of Gatorade." Gao Fei said to the caddy behind him.

The Zen master was in charge of timeouts and rotations, and Gao Fei was not allowed to play again in the first quarter.With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Gao Fei was called up.

Gao Fei was still not feeling well, feeling like he would have to play sick throughout the game, but he had no other choice.

"Gao is back on the court again, let's see how I can single him out." Lagabell was quite confident.

When Goofy steals LaGabel's ball, Bryant knows the fearless player is back.

Gao Fei didn't run fast. Relying on his unique rhythm, he got rid of the pursuit and scored a one-stop layup.

"He's still not quite right, but he's more energetic than before." Yang Jian knew Gao Fei's athletic ability, and usually no one could keep up with him.

Facing Gao Fei again, Lagabel didn't dare to be careless and moved according to the tactics.

Nash took his time and passed the ball to Diaw.

Luke Wharton quickly lowered his center of gravity, trying to block the French magician.

Diaw scored the ball freehand and passed it to Nash who ran out of the opportunity.

A jumper in the paint area on the right, and a two-pointer in return!

28-43!

The Lakers are 15 points behind!

"Gao, how are you?" Kobe asked Gao Fei while staying in the backcourt.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Gao Fei took the serve and watched the backs of his teammates running across the half court.These people trust him unconditionally and cannot let them down.

Gao Fei pointed his right hand to the left, wanting to play drawer tactics.

Nash already knew the tactic represented by this gesture, and loudly reminded his teammates: "Pay attention to defense, the Lakers are going to play that tactic."

Marion hurried around to avoid Kobe in the low post from receiving the ball.

Kobe had an idea, then ran to the basket and pointed upwards.

Gao Fei reacted instantly and pushed the ball with both hands to help his backcourt partner.

Alley-oop Dunk!

30-43!

Gao Fei quickly retreated to the backcourt, marking Lagabel.

The Zen master knew that Gao Fei was still uncomfortable, otherwise he would take the initiative to defend Nash.

Kobe felt that the key to winning against the Suns was defense, but as long as he put it on defense, Nash would pass the ball.

With God's help, James Jones fired from outside the three-point line and hit the net again!

30-46!

"Sasha, post it when defending against James Jones." Goofy began to point out Vujacic's problems when defending.

"Understood!" Vujacic felt that he had not heard Gao Fei's guidance for a long time, and felt very cordial.

"He's back!" Kobe thought to himself. "This team needs this voice."

Gao Fei pushed forward with the ball, and called "The Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers".

Kobe never doubted Gao Fei, and ran to the right corner according to the tactical arrangement.

The Suns also responded to this tactic, expecting Gao Fei to be in poor condition, and only let Lagabel follow up the defense, and even Stoudemire was pulled out to defend.

Goofy accelerates in a straight line, gets rid of Lagabel, and glides to smash!

32-46!

"Pay attention to defense!" Gao Fei grabbed the frame with both hands to buffer, and immediately began to return to defense after landing.The first sentence he said was to remind his teammates to pay attention to the intensity of defense.

Gao Fei returned to the point guard, and the command on the field has been settled.

"Physical confrontation!" Gao Fei reminded his teammates regardless of the sore throat.

The intensity of the competition was instantly raised to a higher level.

Kobe has also emphasized it, but the effect is far less obvious than Gao Fei.

The Lakers are all convinced by Goofy.He doesn't strive for success, doesn't care about statistics, has no understanding of his personal ability, is willing to help his teammates, and is tough enough, so his speech is very authoritative.

Under the interference of physical confrontation, James Jones made a shot!

Odom protected the rebound and handed it to Goofy.

Gao Fei is the backbone of the Lakers. As long as he is on the court, he feels that both offense and defense have a stable rhythm.

Odom screened at the top of the arc and helped Goofy block the defender.

Facing Gao Fei, Stoudemire couldn't predict his next move.

Gao Fei didn't hesitate, before Stoudemire posted it, he felt freehand by two points!

Again!

34-46!

The difference is reduced to 12 point!

D'Antoni pays attention to the movement on the court, as long as the point difference is reduced to within ten points, a timeout has to be called.

Nash controls the ball and directs his teammates to run with his left hand.He saw an opportunity that could have been easily overlooked and passed to Diaw in the right corner.

Luke Walton was in charge of the defense and rushed to defend, but unfortunately he couldn't touch the basketball at all.

Rainbow arc!

hit!

34-49!

"The Suns' offensive firepower is too fierce, and the main attack is not stable, so it is really difficult to target." Director Zhang analyzed the Suns' running and bombing from the tactical level.

"James Jones and Nash are weak against each other. They know how to use the fast pace to evade. Before the defense comes up, they have already completed the offense." Yang Jian said, "The Lakers can't stop Stoudemire. Only by keeping the distance can we gradually recover the points difference.”

"Yes, you worked hard to score a goal, and Bangbang threw two three-pointers. The point difference not only did not shrink, but it will expand." Director Zhang agreed with Yang Jian's statement.

Goofy felt the same way.In this game, the Suns feel hot on the outside. If there are no restrictions, it will be difficult to complete a headwind comeback.

He knew that the defense needed to be adjusted and took the initiative to call a timeout.

Phil Jackson was a little surprised, thinking that there was something wrong with Gao Fei's body, so he paid attention to the field.

Gao Fei passed the ball to the referee, walked to the sidelines, and said, "Phil, we have to extend the two points and strengthen the restrictions on three-pointers, otherwise we will not be able to beat the Suns."

Phil Jackson didn't think that Gao Fei's call for a timeout was about defense. He felt relieved and said, "Now that we are behind by a large score, we really need to adjust. Let's give it a try."

The Lakers players have clarified their defensive tasks and are more determined than the previous two games.

Goofy pass to Kobe.

Kobe turned back and hit a jumper!

36-49!

Nash saw that the shooters in ambush on the perimeter were all posted and passed to Stoudemire in the penalty area.

Everyone knows that the Lakers' insiders are short boards, and targeting them is the wisest choice.

Odom once again became the final barrier, defending against Stoudemire alone, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

Stoudemire didn't pass Odom, and the ball couldn't pass, so he could only choose to end the offense.

Hook your hands sideways, and hit the iron with a bang!

Odom took the rebound, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and directly pushed the counterattack.He has been a point guard until he grew up, and his basic skills are there.

Gao Fei saw Odom fighting bravely, stopped his heavy steps, and watched him complete the final finish.

Wipe the board and layup, hit!

38-49!

The difference is reduced to 11 point!

D'Antoni looked at Gao Fei and thought: "The Lakers are about to collapse. This kid stepped on the court and quickly stabilized the morale of the army. He is not only an excellent organizer, but also an excellent leader."

Nash has always remained calm, picking up bows and arrows while running, trying to chase three-pointers!

Get out of the box!

Just as Odom was about to grab a rebound, he noticed a purple figure on the left jumping up. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Goofy.

"Play steadily and keep the point difference within ten points." Gao Fei dribbled the ball with his right hand and pointed his left index finger upwards.

The Suns had never seen this gesture before, thinking it was some kind of unfamiliar tactic, they became nervous unconsciously.

This gesture has no meaning, it is purely to confuse the opponent.

Kobe received the ball in the low post, attracted the help defense, and passed it to Odom at the basket.

Stoudemire misjudged the offensive movement and could only foul and send Odom to the free throw line.

"Gao, how do you feel now?" Kobe took advantage of the free throw to come to the top of the arc and asked Gao Fei's situation.

"Fortunately, I can't hang up." Gao Fei was always directing, his throat hurt, but he still persisted.

Kobe didn't say much, and stood on the right side of the court to observe Odom's second free throw.

Made two free throws!

40-49!

D'Antoni called a timeout!

Gao Fei didn't speak, took the paper cup handed by the caddy, and drank it down.Still feeling thirsty, I asked for another drink.

D'Antoni glanced at the Lakers' bench and said, "Gao is very important to the Lakers' offensive and defensive system. If I'm right, he played with an illness tonight, and his condition is definitely not as good as in the previous two games. Grab him and play. It might work wonders.”

Nash didn't quite agree, and said, "Mike, the high defensive skills are there. If you challenge rashly, I'm afraid it won't please you."

"How do you think to stabilize the situation?" D'Antoni asked Nash's opinion.

"Amare is an absolute strong point inside. As long as the Lakers continue to expand their defense, he will punish the opponent." Nash has unconditional trust in Stoudemire's ability.

D'Antoni felt that this choice was also good, and handed over the offensive responsibility to Stoudemire.

Gao Fei took a deep breath, stood in front of Lagabel, and entered the game state again.
