Chapter 208 018: Victory in the first battle
The high-flying ball feels top-notch, the human-ball combination ability is strong, and the soft dribble brings people a unique enjoyment.
Competitive sports are not enough to show off, after all, victory must be used to prove the strength of the team.
Goofy can also avoid confrontation and use the same method as Nash to launch a spiritual breakthrough.
Marion has advantages in height and wingspan, but the difference lies in rhythm, and Gao Fei's offensive line cannot be seen.
The Lakers players have played together for a long time, and they are all too familiar with each other, which is a complete whole.
Kobe ran without the ball, received a wonderful pass from Gao Fei's right hand, adjusted two steps, and directly dribbled the ball to attack the basket!
Stoudemire's defense was played by Kobe again!
4-8!
Kobe finally found the touch, touched his chest with his right hand, and wiped off excess sweat.
In the first quarter of the game, the Suns always maintained the lead, but could not widen the point difference.
Gao Fei still left the court early to rest, and then took the transition until the second half of the second quarter, when he returned to the strongest lineup again.
"Gao, is your running and shooting better, or Steve Nash's running and shooting better?" The topic of who is the strongest point guard in active service has long since disappeared.What Kobe thought of was who was stronger in a specific tactic.
"Of course it's me." Gao Fei has the humility of an oriental person, but of course he has been super giant for a few years, but he also has a bit of arrogance.
He received Odom's serve and quickly brought it to the frontcourt. By surprise, he connected to Vujacic, who temporarily replaced Chris Mim.
Any ordinary player can shine under the guidance of Gao Fei.
In the Toyota Center training hall of the Lakers, there is still a poster of Gao Fei's back, with what he often said - EVERYONE CAN BE HERO!
Gao Fei had no time to look at the scoreboard during his retreat.He knew the Suns' offense would arrive in an instant.
With long flowing hair, Nash ran to the front court with a sense of elegance from the bottom of his bones.Gao Fei is very experienced in defense. He spread his arms and tried to expand the defensive range as much as possible.
The opponent is a member of the 180 club, with a soft touch and a clear mind, but the easiest way to achieve results is to pinch the pass.
Nash hit the ground with his left hand, trying to hit Stoudemire.
On the way, the basketball fell into the clutches of unruly people.
Gao Fei used a move to move the universe, and got the basketball that originally belonged to the Suns, but now belongs to the Lakers.
Kobe likes to run very much, as long as he is not on the Denver plateau, his physical fitness is completely fine.
A 30-year-old boy can go up to the fifth floor in one go without any effort!
Gao Fei made a long pass from the backcourt, connected with his old partner, and completed a wonderful cooperation.
Kobe took off up the frontcourt, grabbed the ball with both hands, and finished with an unpretentious dunk.
Gao Fei didn't follow up and took a look at the scoreboard.
Lakers 55-58 Suns!
3 minutes and 06 seconds left in the second quarter!
"The lead must be regained before the end of halftime." Gao Fei secretly made up his mind.
Nash's offensive ability is not weaker than Goofy's, but his disadvantages are physical condition and defense.As far as offense is concerned, the two are equally divided.
Sudden retreat while on the move, quick jump shot!
"Gao, even though people say you are the number one point guard now, I'm still not convinced." Nash saw the goal, smiled and talked trash to Gao Fei.
"Then prove it with the results of the game." Gao Fei played many games with the sun, and he still remembers the sense of despair at that time.There are not many teams that can bring her this feeling, so there is respect for the strong.
Gao Fei advanced with the ball without sticking to the ball, and directly handed it over to Kobe, who needed rhythm to attack.
Marion always felt that Gao Fei had a sense of distance, had no communication, and was always close to his opponent.This scenario is like rain in a local area.
Everyone else is fighting with low intensity, only Marion must find a way to consume Gao Fei's physical energy.
"Don't waste your time, I'm a point guard, and the players on the field are all my guns. You don't have physical fitness in the second half, let me see how you defend?" Gao Feiyun was calm and trash-talking against Marion.
Kobe broke through with the ball, turned around continuously, and was fouled by Lagabel.
Marion thought he was not at the same level as Gao Fei, so he didn't respond to the trash talk and stood on the right side of the free throw line.He looked at Kobe and felt that these two men were much more threatening than they were two years ago.
Kobe took a deep breath, felt the touch of his right hand when dribbling, and searched for the muscle memory built up by his 20-year basketball journey.
"It's time to enter the Zone." Kobe has played too many games, and he knows how it feels when he is in a state.
Both Marion and Lagabel are tough defenders, knowing that Kobe is a rhythm player, once he finds the rhythm, the defense is hardly effective.
Made two free throws!
"Defense! Defense!" The audience was still shouting neatly and passionately, and the inspiring power prompted the Lakers players to show better defensive performance.
Nash failed to hit the ball and chose to shoot from the front!
Winning or losing does not matter!
clang!
Odom has quick eyes and quick hands. Before Stoudemire made a dunk, he hurriedly grabbed the defensive rebound.
He seemed to lose his soul, and suddenly passed the ball where no one was there.
Mistake!
"Lamar, do you want to pass on to Kardashian?" Since Odom and Khloe Kardashian got engaged, attention and defensive performance have plummeted, and the taillight spell is indeed strong.
"Mine." Odom patted his chest and took the responsibility.
Kobe shook his head helplessly, opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.
Nash didn't miss another chance, hit the ground and passed the ball, and fed it comfortably to Stoudemire.
Hold the ball with one hand, cross Odom's defense, and smash dunks violently!
"Stoudemire played really well tonight." Yu Jia, who was the commentator, said, "The Lakers didn't have a good defense inside, and they weren't strong enough."
"Duncan can't even guard against Stoudemire," Director Zhang said. "Odom has been in decline since he fell in love. Now he is often in a daze on the court. No wonder Gao Fei has plans to retire. It's too bad."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "It's not the reason why Gao Fei thinks about retiring."
"I said it casually." Director Zhang laughed happily.
Goofy is an exceptionally athletic guard, turning away from the defense and pointing up with his left hand.
Kobe, who was dribbling, saw it and immediately understood what it meant.Pushing the ball up with both hands, Lagabel gave the defense a jump.
"What's going on? Did you make the move like this?" Turning around, he realized that something was wrong.
Gao Fei took off with both legs, his explosive power was full, he caught the basketball with his left hand, confronted Stoudemire in the air, and dunked it into the basket hard!
beep!
2+1!
Just one word, I only say it once!
Gao Fei grabbed the basket, stabilized his figure, landed with both feet to cushion the ground, and then high-fived the teammates who came to him.
Bavita got the basketball and pointed his index finger at Gao Fei: "A free throw."
Most of the Lakers fans know the news that Gao Fei wants to retire. Seeing his consistent performance, he is very glad that the team management picked him with the [-]th pick in the first round three years ago in the summer.At that time, Jerry Buss said loudly at the press conference: "Goofy is the savior of the Lakers."
At that time, this speech was posted by major sports media.Their purpose is not to witness the glory, but to see the jokes of the Eastern defenders.
In the arena where strength is king, Gao Fei quickly gained a foothold and performed beyond imagination.His rookie season was fantastic enough to bring unparalleled shock.
Some people only need one or two years to surprise the world, while others need long-term accumulation.Which is higher and which is lower is actually not conclusive.
Gao Fei made a steal, like a swift cheetah, and rushed to the frontcourt in an instant.
SHOW TIME!
Smash the frame with both hands and dunk violently!
The artist's demeanor is reappearing in this passionate arena.
This was the last goal of the first half, helping the Lakers successfully equalize the score.
Home team locker room!
"Gao, you didn't play against the Suns last year, we lost. How do you feel when you play against them again after a year?" Zen master took the initiative to guide Gao Fei.
"Very strong." Gao Fei crossed his hands, resting his chin, and replied casually, "The Hornets are strong driven by Paul, and the Nuggets are relatively strong internally and externally, but these two teams are too immature to pose a threat to us. The Suns are different. After winning the championship last season, the overall aura has changed, and the offense and defense have become more stable."
"Where do you think the threat is?"
"I don't like Stoudemire, but he is really strong."
"I like your frankness very much." Zen Master said with a smile, "I don't like him either, it's really not easy to defend."
The atmosphere in the locker room became lighter.
In the Western Conference semifinals in 2006, the Suns were like a big boss, putting strong pressure on the Lakers.Time has passed, and as Gao Fei has more and more experience in competitions, and his aura is calm, things have changed.
"Boys, it's time to get back to the game."
Gao Fei stood up, walked into the crowded player tunnel, and walked through with his head down.He is not afraid of the spotlight, but just wants to avoid these things that will affect his mentality.
In the final analysis, what he received was not an American education, and he did not want to become a big hit player.He's a basketball player by profession, and he still wants to keep the authenticity of the athlete when he plays.
Cheers and noises hit the players overwhelmingly as they walked out of the tunnel.There are not many home games, and they want the players to feel the enthusiasm.
"Still on the same starting line, we must play better than our opponents and win this victory." Kobe said something to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, although there is not much content, it is enough to express his thoughts.
Gao Fei took off his warm-up suit, tidied up his jersey, and received the serve to attack.
Nash is not responsible for defending the Lakers double guard, so the player he has to match becomes Luke Walton.On the defensive end, there is no advantage.
Goofy splits the ball cleverly, and I believe Luke Wharton, who is not shining.He always believes that there are no players who can be ignored on the field, and there must be their glorious moments.
Luke Wharton plays with a post-up, turns and jumps!
At this moment, he is a little bit like Larry Bird.Of course only for a moment.
Swish!
Lakers 66-64 Suns!
"I didn't expect the Lakers' overtake goal to come from Luke Walton's shot." Yu Jia expected that the two guards scored this kind of goal, but the result was beyond his expectation, so he mentioned it.
Director Zhang said: "Gao Fei has always insisted on team basketball. He doesn't care about who scores. As long as he can score, it doesn't matter to him. To sum it up in simple words, it is reasonable to play like this."
The offense at the beginning of the third quarter set the tone for the Lakers in the second half of the game, basically completing the offense through teamwork.
The Suns are not easy to deal with, especially Stoudemire, which caused a great impact on the Lakers' inside defense.
Although the coordination was smooth enough, it still failed to easily suppress the opponent.
With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, relying on Nash's three-point long-range shot, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
Suns coach D'Antoni stood on the sidelines, watching the game, trying to figure out Zen Master's psychology.
"If I were him, what would I do next?" He is not good at the triangle offense, and he is even more unable to crack Gao Fei's tactical layout.After thinking about it, there is no chance to make a head start.
Stoudemire has scored 34 points and played a lot of time. Because he played smoothly, he didn't feel tired.When it comes to the top of the arc, he is ready to switch defenses with Lagabel at any time.
Bryant used the screen to observe the Suns defense.Suddenly, he saw a golden figure on the right start running.
Odom covered in the paint and helped Goofy block Marion.
Stoudemire's defensive awareness is not very good. He thought Odom was going to pick and roll Kobe, but he didn't expect Gao Fei to help.Wrong entry and exit, failed to fill in time.
Gao Fei catches the ball and takes off in a cool mid-distance!
Stretch and elegant!
Lakers 105-103 Suns!
1 minutes and 42 seconds!
"Retreat and defend quickly! The sun will attack immediately." Gao Fei reminded his teammates loudly.
At this stage of the game, the physical fitness of all players has dropped significantly, and it is easy to lose concentration.As the team commander, he must give the correct instructions.
Nash watched the timer above the backboard, everything on the court slowed down, and he quickly spotted the opportunity.
Stoudemire was defended around the front by Odom and did not catch the ball.
Marion catches the ball quickly, and wipes the board with his left hand for a layup.He only paid attention to the position of the basket, didn't pay attention to the movement around him, and was blocked by a person who rushed over quickly.
This person is Gao Fei with excellent defensive awareness.
The basketball rebounded quickly and fell into the hands of Luke Walton.
Lagabel was a little anxious and wanted to take advantage of the situation to fight back, but he hit too hard and was caught by the referee.
Luke Walton two free throw chances.
D'Antoni scratched his head, called a timeout, and set up the offense after the free throw.
"If the second free throw is made, Stoudemire will serve. If the Lakers defend the whole court, Boris Dior will respond at the center line and pass back." D'Antoni knew that the Lakers are good at pressing man-to-man defense throughout the court, so he arranged a cracking tactic.
"Steve, if you think you can play fast without being intercepted, you can ignore this arrangement." D'Antoni did not restrict Nash.He's been working with the spiritual Canadian for a few years and is happy with his control.
Gao Fei wiped the sweat off his face, took three deep breaths, calmed down, and returned to the court.
Luke Walton made one of two free throws and missed the first free throw. The Suns served the bottom line from the backcourt.
106-103!
When you are highly focused, you have the illusion that things around you slow down.Gao Fei is a defensive expert. He can accurately predict the movement of offensive players, and his brain is running fast to judge the probability of receiving the ball for the Suns players who stay in the backcourt.
Kobe noticed Dior, and it felt like it would be a connection point.Give Nash strong defensive power, forcing him to choose the ball.
Gao Fei's lateral movement is faster than expected, and there is an advance amount, intercepting the pass midway.
Seeing Gao Fei complete the steal, Kobe ran to the basket and responded to Gao Fei's pass.
Gao Fei made a random pass with his right hand and pushed the ball near the basket!
Kobe took off with both legs and wanted to catch the ball in the air, but suddenly found that the arc was too perfect.
"Could it be possible, can this ball be scored directly?" Kobe's court experience told him that there is a high probability.Withdraw your hands and don't touch the ball!
Swish!
109-103!
1 minutes and 08 seconds!
The commentators are seasoned practitioners who know that Goofy is not shooting, but passing the ball into the basket.Although it feels very messy, I can really feel that the god of destiny is on the side of the Lakers.
Sun players are not discouraged!
Goofy and Kobe continued to defend the whole court.
This time Nash didn't pass the ball, and dribbled forward diagonally. Although he made no mistakes, the rhythm was indeed suppressed.
Stoudemire receives the pass and wants to finish as quickly as possible.
Odom, whose brain short-circuited the whole game, finally regained his inspiration and made a foul. He would rather send Stoudemire to the free throw line than give him an easy chance to score.
This choice reaped unexpected results.
"Missed two free throws! This foul is worth it." Yu Jia said excitedly, "Odom protected the rebound and passed it to Gao Fei. The Suns didn't choose to foul and wanted to defend this round. Gao Fei was not in a hurry and suppressed the rhythm attack. "
"Goofy made a shot from outside the three-point line! Got it!" Director Zhang made a prediction when he saw the arc, and the result was similar to the prediction.
Swish!
"It's a final goal. In this way, the Suns basically say goodbye to the game victory in advance." Yu Jia is used to seeing the Lakers win, and he doesn't even have much mood swings.
That's not how Odom and Kobe felt.They lost to the Suns last year, and being able to get a good start still has a special meaning.
Gao Fei did not accept the interview, went back to the locker room to take a shower, gave Odom the opportunity of the post-match press conference, and left the locker room early.
