Chapter 212 022: Luck is also Strength
The two sides are evenly matched, and the most direct consequence is that they cannot overwhelm their opponents.
In the last game, Gao Fei broke the record and scored 66 points, and the final point difference was less than 10 points.In today's game, the point difference has never been widened, leading alternately.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by one point.
"Guys, there are still 12 minutes before the end of the game. Tighten the strings and fight the game with all your strength." D'Antoni mobilized the players during the intermission, hoping to finish the game smoothly.
Gao Fei stood on the sidelines, took a few sips of energy drinks, and took a deep breath to adjust.As the game enters the second half, the rest time is greatly reduced, and physical energy consumption will naturally increase.
"There are still 12 minutes left in the game, and it's the final battle." Zen Master was also not idle, and made a chicken soup.
The Lakers players put their hands together, cheered each other up, and supported and backed each other in an away game full of opponents' fans.
"Gao, you can play again in 2 minutes, and Jared Dudley will replace you for a while." The Zen master's meaning is obvious, rest for 2 minutes, and then you have to play until the end.
Dudley was not stage-frightened, and made 5 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, fully worthy of Zen Master's trust in him.
The opposite happened to Morrison.He had a higher pick in the draft, and the effect on the court was not good.
Kobe led the team alone, and he didn't need to think about the offensive end. Based on more than ten years of professional career experience, he used offense to drive the team.
Sun's weak line of defense, with a few pillars mixed in it.
Lagabel is the barrier of the sun's appearance defense.
After being subjected to high-intensity impacts for three consecutive quarters, the steel and iron bones could not bear it, let alone the oppression of top attackers.
Kobe Bryant played low post singles, subject to physical fitness, slightly missed.
He got the offensive rebound again, leaned forward for a layup, and made Lagabel a foul.
"The grinding animals can't be used like this." Lagabel raised his right hand to receive the foul, feeling that his legs were weak, and his movements were far less agile than usual.
The playoffs are like a protracted marathon, and the winner can be determined in as long as half a month.
Kobe wiped his hands on the front of his jersey, wiped off the sweat, took a deep breath and adjusted to the free throw.
Basketball players need high-intensity confrontation in a short period of time, muscles are tight, and they need to find a fixed rhythm before free throws.
Tension permeated the stadium, not only the players were focused, but the fans were also slower than usual.
The Western Conference Finals are too important to the team, and in many cases the pressure brought by the game itself cannot be ignored.
With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Gao Fei took off the towel on his shoulders, stood in front of the technical stage, and rubbed his feet on the ground to find out how he felt.
The players on the court were all nervous and didn't pay attention to the sidelines.
D'Antoni called Marion back to the court with Goofy.
Lagabel has a heavy defensive task, and only by scoring a part of the score can there be no big loopholes.
Kobe had only two personal fouls, and he took the initiative to create dead ball opportunities for substitutions.
Goofy replaced Dudley and returned to the game.
The Suns struggled for a while without being beaten, and finally waited until Nash returned to the court.
Sometimes playing too long is not necessarily a good thing.
Gao Fei was ready to fight the sun to the death, but an accident brought everything to an abrupt end.
There is a saying in competitive sports - luck is also part of strength.
Nash lost his balance on a layup and accidentally sprained his ankle.
Mike Brin watched the slow-motion replay and said: "Steve landed and twisted his ankle [-] degrees. He can't stand anymore."
Gao Fei respects the sun very much and wants to decide the outcome head-on with them.It's just that he is not a real god, and he can't change the injury, so he can only wait for the diagnosis of the Suns team doctor.
The highest level of team doctors in the league is the Suns.They will basically not make misdiagnosis, and they can help players make adjustments in details.
The chief team doctor pinched Nash's ankle and asked how the team felt.When he heard Nash's answer, he already had the answer in his heart.
Nash tried to stand up, the pain was sore, there was no way to continue fighting.
Goofy stands near the center line.
Bryant said: "It seems that Steve's injury is not serious."
"I hope that the injury can stay away from the game." Gao Fei suffered a serious injury last season and spent several months recovering.The desire for the game and the slow recovery progress will test the players' patience and willpower.
No matter what, he wants players to stay healthy.
Two Suns substitutes walked onto the court, lifted the injured Nash, and led him off the court.
The fans paid close attention to Nash who walked into the player tunnel, praying secretly that the injury was not serious.
The Suns' run-and-gun system is inseparable from everyone, but the most important thing is the engine Nash.He went off injured and everything changed.
The Lakers were not affected by their opponents, and remained focused, going all out to attack and defend.
The difference in strength was obvious, and it took less than 5 minutes for the point difference to reach thirteen points.
"Steve Nash's effect on the Suns is far beyond what the data can reflect." Mike Breen said, "With him injured and leaving the game, it will be difficult for the Suns to save this game."
The Suns fans are no longer focused on the game, they are paying attention to the player tunnel where the Suns players enter the field, hoping that the familiar long-haired man will come back.
It's a pity that until the end of the game, the Wind Son of Phoenix City couldn't show up again.
The Lakers 108-97 Suns made another victory and took a 3-1 lead.
Twitter is already a popular social software in the United States, and a lot of information is posted on it.
ESPN remembers to report in advance and confirms that Nash suffered a serious sprain. Not only will he not return in this game, but it is still unclear whether he can continue to play in the next few games.
"Steve, get an MRI tomorrow, and judge whether you can continue to play based on the injury." The Sun's chief team doctor made a judgment.
Nash's eyes were red, and he had many thoughts in his heart.But all dreams must be based on health.
The sun is in a desperate situation, but he may stand on the sidelines.In any case, it is difficult to maintain a stable state of mind.
Early the next morning, Nash got up and went to the hospital for a professional MRI examination.
Second degree ankle sprain with partial ligament tear.
Nash sat in the hospital corridor, holding a medical certificate in his hand, feeling his mind went blank.He originally wanted to take revenge for what happened two years ago, but the reality gave him a ruthless hammer.
Ten minutes later, reporters posted news on Twitter confirming Nash's injury.
The Suns coaching staff did not receive a call from Nash, but also learned from the news that Nash was almost reimbursed for the season (if he was eliminated, the season would end).D'Antoni became very silent, but still seriously prepared for the series G5.
Just a lingering cloud that has hung over the Suns.
Gao Fei felt sorry, but he would not revolve around the opponent's player's life.Just like when he was injured, it was impossible for someone to give up his life for him.
The morning is the time for the players' routine training, which belongs to the scope of work, so Scarlett Johansson's invitation is in the afternoon.
Goofy lives in Beverly Hills, not far from the appointment restaurant.He accidentally discovered that Scarlett was wearing very revealing clothes.
The smell of Chanel No. 5 perfume vaguely lingers on the tip of the nose.He once shared a story about Sophie Marceau with Scarlett, and mentioned that he liked this classic perfume very much.
"Gao, hello." Scarlett seemed more restrained than usual.It's not obvious, but you can feel it.
"Why are you so polite?" Gao Fei and Scarlett are no strangers to each other because of their partnership and frequent contact.This encounter, on the contrary, has a novel feeling.
"What's the matter with you and Taylor?" Scarlett asked insincerely before ordering, "Would you mind talking about it?"
"I don't mind." Gao Fei is a very generous person, but he hasn't fully come out of his previous relationship, so he doesn't want to talk about it, "Break up peacefully."
"Have a cappuccino." Scarlett asked for a cup of coffee first.
Gao Fei still ordered a glass of Blue Mountain as usual.
He once heard a saying that there are two antidotes for forgetting old love, namely time and new love.He had a slight sense of Scarlett's beauty, but it was too fast and he couldn't adapt.
As night fell, the tall buildings around were lit up.
A big city in the dark is like a dormant monster, and the lights are flashing scales, which look dangerous and charming.
"Do you remember what the director told you when you appeared in the movie?" Scarlett rubbed the cup with her right hand.
"I remember." Goofy's first cameo movie was still with Scarlett.There are only a few clips, but it can be said to make a lot of money.
"The sex scene last time was unreal, I want to feel it again." Scarlett said closer.
I don't know if it's because of the red wine or makeup.There was a little blush on Scarlett's cheeks.
She was not shy, and stared directly at Gao Fei's eyes with her bright eyes.
Gao Fei was a little hesitant when he thought of his past lover, subconsciously wanting to refuse.
Scarlett looked firmly in her eyes and said, "Gao, don't fantasize anymore. If she leaves you, she won't come back."
Gao Fei knows Taylor's character, and now that he has made a decision, he will indeed look forward.His remaining infatuated is not going to help anything.
"I don't want to enter the next relationship so soon." This sentence is true.
Scarlett said with a smile: "I still plan to continue my career in Hollywood. Being in love is also a bad thing for me. Sometimes, the purpose can be very simple."
Gao Fei was a little stunned.He was not a child, he understood what Scarlett meant, and hesitated to take that step.
"Gao, you are a pure man who flirts freely on the field, why are you cowardly at a critical moment? You look like a big girl." Scarlett is a Westerner, but her personality is quite outgoing.
"TND, what am I afraid of as an old man?" Gao Fei was stimulated by the aggressive method, thinking to himself.In a feverish state, he agreed to the beautiful thing of a reunion in the spring breeze and jade dew.
Caitlin is the cook and housekeeper, and will not interfere with Goofy's private life.Seeing Scarlett and Gao Fei coming back, she took the initiative to go back to the room.
Gao Fei is a businessman and has received red wine.There are several bottles of very expensive brand craft wine hidden in the wine cabinet.
"Would you like a drink?" Scarlett didn't enjoy drinking in the restaurant.
"I have a competition tomorrow night, so let's use an energy drink instead." Gao Fei was a bit playful, but he could still tell the difference.
The two were chatting in the living room, and the atmosphere was not quite right.
"How about going to your bedroom?" Scarlett drank half a bottle of red wine, more intoxicated than when she was in the restaurant.
Goofy led Taylor to the room on the third floor, opened the upper sunshade, and could see the stars in the sky through the skylight.
"It's so beautiful here." Scarlett Johansson looked at the stars in the sky and felt the long-lost romance.
She lay on Gao Fei's body, stroking his muscles as firm as iron.
Occasionally, for a while, she felt like a galloping horse.An experience of extreme happiness that has never been experienced before.
"Athletes are really strong enough." Scarlett said with a sincere smile.
Goofy took a shower in the bathroom and wiped his hair with a towel.He has short hair, which is very energetic and easy to manage.
He looked at Scarlett under the blanket and felt a little dreamy.
"It seems that I have really embarked on the path of the chaebol." Gao Fei sat on the sofa opposite.
"You can take the adventure just now as an unspoken rule." Scarlett could understand Gao Fei's meaning, "Of course, it's best to treat it as a continuation of the movie."
Scarlett also went to take a bath and lay down next to Gao Fei.She also felt a little sloppy, but it happened, so she thought it was pretty good.
On the second night, Scarlett might have avoided going to G5 of the Western Conference finals out of some kind of suspicion avoidance.
Nash, wearing a gray suit, sat on the sidelines, actively giving advice to his teammates.It's just that the backbone is missing. Compared with the Lakers, the strength of the Suns is indeed far behind.
Gao Fei returned to the position of point guard, organized series, and firmly controlled the game situation.
The Suns have proved last year that running and gunning can win the championship. Seeing that the Lakers' suppression is getting stronger and stronger, they accept it calmly and stubbornly finished the tormented fifth game of the series.
Kobe scored 35 points and Goofy contributed 21 points and 16 assists.
With a score of 109-95 and a big score of 4-1, the Lakers reached the finals after a year.
Nash leaned on crutches and hugged Goofy.
"Gao, I always think you are the ultimate answer to the point guard." Nash admired the strong, and Gao Fei had a high status in his mind. "Take my blessing and go win the championship."
"Thank you." Gao Fei asked, "How is your injury?"
"This season is gone, and he can recover next season. It's just a pity that there will be no point guards as strong as you in the league by then."
"There are dreams in life, each one is wonderful!" Gao Fei said, "I wish you the best of luck in recovering from your injuries."
"Yes, thank you too." After communicating with Gao Fei, Nash went to chat with Kobe.He is a very gentlemanly player, and he also sent blessings.
The Eastern Conference finals are still in full swing. The peak matchup between the Celtics and the Heat is quite hot.
Wade played well in Tianwangshan and scored 44 points. Unfortunately, Ray Allen's three-pointer from the corner retreated to kill him.
"It's a pity, if they can win Tianwangshan, maybe the Heat will enter the finals." Gao Fei played for the Lakers, so naturally he didn't want the Celtics to win.
The sports channel conducted internal research and decided to make every effort to ensure the Olympics, and the finals will still be commented in China.
Gao Fei accepted an exclusive interview with People magazine to talk about retirement at the peak, honor and wealth.
People is a relatively influential magazine, not only limited to the sports world, but also focusing on "people" themselves.Goofy has become a sporting icon linking East and West, hence the invitation.
After two years of experience, Rondo has already raised his ball, but he still feels that Gao Fei is an insurmountable mountain.He bought People magazine and watched special columns.
Goofy is on the cover, holding a basketball half Spalding and half Molten.Half of the jersey he wears is the gold jersey of the Lakers, and the other half is the red jersey of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Gao Fei with a smile on his face looks extraordinary.
Rondo opened the directory, found the column, and read it quietly.
Q (question): Do you think the Lakers can win the championship this season?
A (answer): There are still a few days before the finals. After this dispute is over, you will naturally know the answer (laughs).
"This guy still answers the questions without leaking," Rondo thought to himself, "This year is the year with the best chance. I must reach the finals and defeat the mighty Lakers."
Rondo broke out suddenly in Game 15 of the Eastern Conference Finals and got a Kidd-style cheap triple-double.Only assists, close to [-] times.
For the seemingly ordinary Rondo, this is already a rare data.
The Celtics have successfully reached the Finals, and they will soon face off against their old rivals, the Lakers.
The Lakers' regular season record ranks first in the league, so the first two games will be played at the Staples Center.
Die-hard fans in Los Angeles have already begun to type "BOSTON SUCKS" on Twitter to fight the public opinion war first.
The Lakers rested for two days and regrouped at the Toyota Training Facility.
Gao Fei's poster was still hanging on the wall. He walked over and signed it with a tactical pen.After he retires, he can take it home as a souvenir.
The Lakers players have extra motivation against the Celtics, they have no reservations in training, and their tactical cooperation is methodical.There is no hope of champions to break the status quo of zero, and those who have champions are eager to recast glory.
Gao Fei found his best form, put down business and all other miscellaneous affairs, and only focused on basketball.With just four more wins, they will be at the top of the NBA.
The signs of the finals made the Lakers players extremely excited.
Gao Fei had a turban wrapped around his forehead, making him look a bit tough.During the training process, he always played extraordinary basketball.
During the three years of training, Gao Fei and Kobe led their own teams to fight against each other.From being at a disadvantage at the beginning to being slightly suppressed now, I have witnessed Gao Fei's growth.
The basketball court has not changed, but the players have changed.
After the Zen master finished his training, he left Gao Fei alone.
"Gao, do you know there is a saying in the outside world?" Zen master asked in a very calm tone.
"I uninstalled Twitter for the time being, I don't know what wind is blowing outside." Gao Fei wiped his sweat with a towel, and answered Zen Master's words.
"They said it was luck that we made it to the final." Zen Master paid close attention to Gao Fei's reaction.He knew that under the calm appearance of this proud disciple, there was a very competitive heart.
"After the finals, no one will say that." In Gao Fei's words, there was confidence that could not be concealed.
The Zen Master nodded in satisfaction and asked Gao Fei to go back to rest early. After looking at the watch on his left hand, he decided to go to Beverly Hills for dinner with his girlfriend Jenny Buss.
Gao Fei hitch a ride and returned to Beverly Hills when he suddenly received a call.He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a beautiful woman again.
After returning to being single, the peach blossoms bloomed one by one, and I felt overwhelmed.Only when you are in temptation, you know that you need concentration.
Gao Fei is not Liu Xiahui, the best way is not to touch, pretending not to see, and walk home slowly.
