Chapter 137 Opening Intensity
Houston fans all know that G6 is a Win or Go home game for the team. People with season tickets, put on the support T-shirts distributed by the team, and came to the Toyota Center in advance.
Gao Fei didn't think about the future, and played this game as his last.
He was wearing headphones, sitting in the bus, letting his mind go, not thinking about winning the game and losing the game.
Such redundant thoughts will increase the psychological burden. It is better not to think about it and concentrate on playing basketball well.Winning or losing is the result of hard work. No matter how much you want to advance, you can only achieve it by winning.
There are more media reporters than in previous games, and the aisles seem a bit crowded.
The Lakers team members opened the way first, blocking the passage with their bodies for the players to pass.
Gao Fei wore a peaked cap to cover his sight, and walked as low-key as possible.He doesn't like interviews and wants to avoid them.
The visiting team locker room is simpler than the home team locker room, except for the locker, there are almost no other facilities.This is also one of the home field advantages.
Goofy stopped playing the tape recorder, put his backpack on the bottom of the locker, and started changing jerseys.
Because he is a player who loves confrontation, he needs to collide with opponents frequently, and he will wear a shock-absorbing sweater during the game, so he is not afraid of shooting.
The cameraman ran behind Goofy and looked up to take a shot of him putting on his jersey.
Gao Fei feels that American basketball players are like stars, and he has long been used to it. He calmly puts on his jersey, and then puts on his warm-up suit.
The equipment manager brought over a pair of purple pilot sneakers, which matched the color of the jersey and looked more integrated.
Gao Fei took the sneakers, sat on the equipment box, and re-laced the shoes.He is a player that Nike focuses on, and he can wear new sneakers after a few games, making sure that he feels the same every time he puts on his feet.
Phil Jackson is interviewed to answer some questions about opponents and the game.
Gao Fei consciously stayed away from the interview, sat in a corner, quietly thinking about offensive and defensive strategies.
The game is not simply dribbling and shooting, but an overall game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers.Everyone is indispensable. How to integrate them into the system is not only the job of the coaching staff, but the point guard also plays a vital role.
As the game time approached, the originally relaxed atmosphere gradually became tense.
"Guys, let's go to the stadium and practice." The team staff felt that the time was almost up, and informed the players to warm up in advance.
Gao Fei stood up and walked out of the locker room first.
After the light changes, the stadium full of people comes into view.
Gao Fei's appearance received a lot of cheers.
These voices come from domestic fans.They threw away the home and away games, just supporting two players from the East.
Gao Fei simply waved his hand in response to the enthusiasm of the fans, then picked up a basketball and started shooting to warm up.
Odom came over and asked, "Do I have the ball early, or do you or Kobe?"
Gao Fei lightly threw the basketball and said, "You holding the ball is the best solution."
"Why?" Odom has always had this question.
"Because your threat without the ball is much smaller than Kobe and me," Gao Fei said with a smile, "We are a threat standing on the court, and you are a threat only with the ball, so I have to give you the ball."
"So it is."
"Lamar, you are far from being a leader." Gao Fei calmly accepted the pass from the shooting coach and said, "When you understand the meaning of the team someday, you will almost be a qualified leader."
"Can I also be a leader?" In Odom's view, only stars can be leaders.
"Most teams have leaders in the locker room. They are not necessarily the core of the team, and it may even be difficult to get a chance to play, but their role in the team cannot be ignored." Gao Fei said, "Team sports, the most important It's the team."
Odom half-understood, a little doubt began to shoot warm-up.
During the warm-up period, no one came over to communicate.
For half an hour, Gao Fei has been practicing catch and shoot.
The lights dimmed and the introductions began.
Gao Fei became the first player to be introduced, stood on the court, and always held his right hand high.
After the players from both sides have finished their appearance, the stadium is bright again.
After the routine session is over, the game will officially start.
Jeff Van Gundy gathered all the players together and said: "This is likely to be the last game of the season. Don't hold back, don't be nervous, play according to the tactical arrangement, and enjoy the game."
Uncle Huo has a more lively personality. He takes on the task of leadership and applauds to mobilize the emotions of his teammates.
Lakers bench!
Gao Fei said: "Forget about the follow-up games for the time being, and treat this game as the last game of the season. Do your best and don't leave any regrets."
All the players of the Lakers put their hands together to cheer, and then the starting lineup took off their warm-up suits and stepped onto the court one after another.
Joe Crawford walked onto the court with the game ball in hand.
Fans' eyes were on him, awaiting the opening jump ball in Game 6 of the series.
Odom and Dayao stood on both sides of the center circle, lowered their center of gravity, and competed for the first offensive ball.
Dayao took off quickly, touched the basketball first, and dialed it to Alston behind.
The audience became quiet, observing the team's first attack.
Goofy is responsible for defending Tracy McGrady, and Kobe will deal with Alstom.
Kobe really regarded this game as the last game of his career, and immediately fought hard to prevent Alstom from calmly organizing.
Dayao mentioned a high position!
Odom and Chris Mim switched defenses, and Odom mentioned the high position to defend Dayao.
Gao Fei defended the Rockets' important scoring points. He temporarily gave up taking care of the overall situation and defended toughly without the ball to put pressure on McGrady.
McGrady is not as powerful as Gao Fei, and it is difficult to fight, so try to avoid physical contact.Difficult to create catch opportunities due to redundant motion.
Dayao catches the ball from a high position and cannot find a point of support. Facing Odom's defense, he chooses a mid-range shot!
clang!
The basketball bounces out of the frame!
Chris Mim stuck Juwan Howard behind him, waited for the ball to fall, and received the defensive rebound steadily.
Gao Fei received the pass and took the half court slowly.
He didn't choose to play fast-paced, drop positions, and compete with the Rockets in tactics and execution.
Chris Mim has practiced various screens in training, standing in the left paint area, and helping Kobe who runs without the ball to block the chasing players.
Odom quickly split the ball and handed it to Kobe who ran out of the opportunity.
Open space opportunity!
Mid-range chic jumper, also missed!
Dayao protected the defensive rebound, handed it over to Alston, and ran forward with his head buried.
Gao Fei is not a player who is very loose in defense without the ball. He clings to McGrady and restricts running positions and receiving the ball.
McGrady couldn't get rid of Goofy who stuck to him like jelly candy easily, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he could only pull away from the strong side.
Dayao caught the ball again, dribbled and hit back, and was double-teamed by Odom and Chris Mim.
Yang Jian commented on the game, saying: "The Lakers' defensive intensity at the beginning of the game was very high, and they didn't give the Rockets any chance to easily attack."
Dayao ignored the double-team defense and made a strong layup, winning a chance to get to the free throw line.
