Chapter 184 003: Unpredictable
At 10 pm on October 20th, the advertisement co-produced by Gao Fei and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June was officially launched.
This is a craft ad about sports, aiming to get more people involved in fitness.Both Goofy and Schwarzenegger flex their muscles in the commercial.Although Schwarzenegger is a bodybuilder, his muscle latitude is still a little short of Goofy.
Only by making a comparison can the audience realize that there is still a clear gap between the defender who usually looks smaller and smaller than ordinary people.
Gao Fei knew that domestic fans would also see this ad, so he specially asked Tiger to make a Chinese version and push it to the domestic media.
At the same time, Gao Fei's status in the arena is getting hotter and hotter.
Ranked second in the assists list last season, this season has gone a step further, firmly occupying the top spot.
The Lakers started with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.
On October 10th, the Lakers were between two games and had only simple in-team training.
Gao Fei paid attention to the time, and when it was close to ten o'clock in the morning, he went to the side seat to rest temporarily.He picked up his phone and waited for a call.
Taylor's first album uses her own name, which can not only promote the song, but also make the audience familiar with her name, which is a marketing that kills two birds with one stone.
Chapman was the producer and helped with the professional process.
Taylor, on the other hand, was more relaxed.She has a creative talent, she writes the songs and records them, and someone else takes care of the rest.
At ten past ten, she called Gao Fei.
Gao Fei saw the familiar phone number and hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Kobe smiled and said, "It won't matter if you pick up a little later."
Gao Fei put his right index finger upright in front of his mouth, signaling not to make trouble, and communicated with Taylor on the other end of the phone.
"My album has been officially released." Taylor's voice was calmer than usual, "From today, I will officially debut."
Gao Fei smiled subconsciously: "Yes, my girlfriend has become a big star."
"I'm not a big star, I'm a singer," Taylor said.
"Big star Taylor." Goofy and Taylor were not serious and often joked with each other.
"Gao, which city are you in now?" Taylor returned to the topic.She often goes to the Blue Bird Café to perform recently, and she doesn't have much free time, so she can only watch the people she misses on TV.
"Boston," Goofy said, "the fans here are pretty hostile to the Lakers. I played a game here last season and left with a nightmare."
"Oh, do you still have time to be cowardly? Let me tell you, it makes me happy." Taylor could rarely find something interesting and seemed very active.
Girls are not good at most things in daily life, but they have a lot of experience in playing with boys' feelings.This seems to be their talent, and no one can figure out where it comes from.
Gao Fei knew that Taylor was under a lot of pressure recently, so he took the initiative to sacrifice himself: "I didn't see a big battle at that time. The atmosphere here was horrible. Every time the ball was taken, [-] spectators booed in unison. The formation was quite amazing. But the nightmare and It doesn’t really matter too much.”
Taylor still had the energy to care about tomorrow night's game, and asked, "You won't be afraid this time, will you?"
"No more." Gao Fei rubbed his forehead and said, "I've experienced a lot this year, it can be regarded as being baptized by strong winds and waves, and I won't be so fragile."
"Your experience this year is really fantastic." Taylor felt that Goofy's rookie season was particularly inspirational and legendary.
Gao Fei said with a smile: "The strength is still there, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened. You will also reap the same fruit."
"I hope so."
After Gao Fei finished the call with Taylor, he went back to training.Near noon, the Lakers' in-team training ended.
"Gao, I heard you talking on the phone. Do you still have a psychological shadow on TD North Shore Garden?" Kobe asked Gao Fei while changing into casual clothes.
"No." Gao Fei usually likes to wear Nike sportswear, which is not only convenient, but also free of money. "Now it is different from the past."
The players got on the bus and returned to the away hotel.
"In recent years, the Celtics are not strong. We only come here once a year, and we are almost immune to this place." Kobe played for the Lakers for ten years, and he is very aware of the grievances between the two teams. Now the strength has the upper hand. It feels very comfortable.
Gao Fei was more peaceful, smiled and then returned to the room.
He put on his headphones and started listening to the latest pop music.
Beyoncé is more beautiful among black singers.Her voice is full of explosive power, which makes people crazy, and makes people want to hit the big wall with a bang.
Gao Fei listened to the music and felt a slight vibration in his trousers pocket. He took out his phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number.
He paused the music and answered the phone, and there was a very thin voice on the other side.It wasn't until the other party reported his family name that he figured out his identity.
Bill Russell is not very good at using mobile phones, so he uses the phone to communicate with Goofy.He is not young anymore, and his speech is weak, Gao Fei mistakenly thinks that he is a very weak person talking on the phone.
"Are you free this evening? I'll invite you to dinner." Bill Russell took the initiative to invite Gao Fei.
The NBA is very nice to retired players, and even though he has been retired for many years, Bill Russell still has a lot of connections with players in the league.
Some time ago Xu Yong came to the United States to meet Bill Russell and talked about Gao Fei.He was very interested in this hot young man, and had already made a plan to contact him.
The regular season is not so targeted, and the Celtics are not particularly strong, so there is no need for special research.This task was left to the coaching staff, and Gao Fei went to have a meal with nothing to do.
In order to show his hospitality and respect, Bill Russell deliberately chose a Chinese restaurant for the meeting.
Gao Fei got out of the taxi and saw the gray-haired old man.He knew that when this man was young, he led the Celtics to eight consecutive championships.
"Gao, you seem to be much more energetic than last season." Bill Russell first praised Gao Fei's energy.
Gao Fei laughed and said, "Let's go to the restaurant to talk."
The two walked into the restaurant and were immediately greeted warmly.
The waiters didn't expect to meet Gao Fei, prepared the items, and wanted to sign.
Gao Fei didn't refuse, but pushed it until after the meal.
"Mr. Russell, why did you think of inviting me?" Gao Fei was still a little curious about this matter.
"I got in touch with Xu Yong from your country a few days ago. He mentioned that you are very good at the details of the game. I think getting in touch with you may help you understand the mystery of your world championship." Bill Russell's voice was hoarse, but Goofy Listen patiently, so you can finish speaking slowly.
"This is a secret." Gao Fei said with a smile, "We still want to gain something from the 08 Olympics, but we can't disclose it in advance."
Bill Russell knew that Goofy was joking, and said, "Actually, there is no need to keep it secret. The United States is a big basketball country, and we know what went wrong."
"where?"
"Point guard and center. These two weak points happen to be your relatively strong positions. In FIBA competitions, the center is really important."
"It's the same in NBA games," Gao Fei said, "Aren't you the best example? You have the most championships in player eras, and you're number one among the top [-] superstars."
"Those are false names, and they are actually useless. It is enough for the latecomers to give me a little respect."
"You are very open-minded." Gao Fei admired Bill Russell's mentality.
"Basketball players are also ordinary people. After ten or 20 years of professional career, they still have to return to life itself. You are now enjoying the stage of the game."
Gao Fei knows that time is like water, and his career will soon pass.This is a point that is difficult for those who are in it to realize.
After finishing dinner with Mr. Bill Russell, Gao Fei paid the bill and signed the waiter, and then drove back to the hotel.
In the evening, it was time to talk on the phone with Taylor, chatting for an hour, and then falling asleep.
The next morning, Gao Fei went to the arena for training by himself.Taking a break after lunch has also become a habit.
Celtics coach Rivers attaches great importance to this game.Their whole team has the mentality that they can lose in team battles and Teemo must die. Losing to any team in the league is acceptable, but they don't want to lose to the Lakers.
The defensive assistant is Tom Thibodeau, a golden homeboy who gives his youth and hairstyle to basketball. He is an out-and-out workaholic.
He developed a detailed defensive plan, held out a shield, specifically to mark Kobe.
Tony Allen couldn't believe it when he received the task of defending Kobe. When he realized that he was indeed the chosen one, he felt a great honor.
Kobe won double MVPs last season, and Gao Fei won double championships in the NBA and international arenas.The name of the Lakers' double guards is very famous in the league. Just like last season, it has attracted more fans' attention and caused the average ticket price to rise sharply.
This is the only opportunity for Boston fans to watch the game up close, and naturally they don't want to miss it.
Gao Fei was wearing sportswear, listening to music with headphones, and waited for the bus to stop outside the player tunnel before making any movements.He followed behind his teammates and walked into the North Shore Garden.
Like the Lakers, the Celtics are also a team with a lot of history in the league.The duel between the two giants always attracts attention.
Mike Breen, Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller came to Boston to comment on the game live.
There are a few more games going on today at the same time, but none are more popular than this one.
Gao Fei put on the away purple jersey and Ziyuhuanshan color-matched sneakers, and put on the purple bracelet on his left hand, basically completing the pre-match match.
"Aren't you wearing a warm-up suit?" Kobe reminded him when he noticed that Goofy ignored the warm-up suit folded at the bottom of the locker.
Gao Fei looked back, and with a yo-ho sound, he hurriedly put on his warm-up clothes.
"It seems that you are still influenced by the North Shore Garden Arena." Bryant said with a smile.
The Zen Master said with a smile: "The Celtics have improved in strength this season, so they shouldn't be scared like this?"
"Just kidding." Gao Fei put on his warm-up clothes and responded, "I'm really never scared."
"Probably not. In your first game last season, you played a little timidly." Kobe still remembered Goofy's first game in the US NBA career. Goofy was a little sleepwalking in the first half of the game, and he didn't find it until the fourth quarter. state.But it is human nature, everyone has a fledgling, and it is inevitable that they will be young.
"Are you ready? It's time for us to enter the field." Kobe applauded to attract the attention of his teammates, and excitement drove emotions.
After he changed to No. 24, he was not as explosive as he was when he was No. 8, but he was a little more calm.This is an essential stage of progress towards leadership.
In the past, he could only care about his own performance, but now he has to try to take care of the whole team.After all, this is a team sport, not a solo field.
When the Lakers players came out, even the always hostile North Shore Garden Arena heard some cheers.
Pierce is the forward and core player of the Celtics.He is not a very magnanimous person, and he felt a little unhappy when he heard the home team cheering for his opponent.
"It's important to bring down your opponent today," Pierce told Tony Allen.He knew that Tony Allen was going to guard Kobe and get him ready in advance.
Tony Allen thought to himself: "Brother really doesn't feel pain in his back when he speaks standing up. If he is defending against Kobe, would he still have the confidence to say that?" Of course, he wouldn't dare to say it if they were brave enough.
The referee is bald Joe Crawford. His bald head is more eye-catching than the basketball he is holding.
The shooting warm-up session is over, and the appearance introduction begins.
Celtics: Delonti West, Tony Allen, Pierce, Ryan Gomez, Al Jefferson!
Lakers: Goofy, Kobe, Luke Walton, Odom, Kwame Brown!
Taylor stood in front of the TV, waiting for the game.
In addition to missing the spacious mansion, she misses Goofy and the two cats more.Back to Nashville this time, the two kittens stayed in Los Angeles, and it will take some time to see them again.
Taylor is a person who loves cats very much. He regards them as his family and loves them very much.Even if she is in a different place, she will still call Caitlin to ask how the cat is doing.
"The game begins." Mike Breen's voice made Taylor look back at the TV.
Gao Fei advanced with the ball and looked very elegant.Regardless of whether it is offensive or not, at least it is very entertaining.
Kobe circled to the top of the arc and caught the pass to face Tony Allen.
He is a rhythm player and needs to find his status with the ball.Relatively speaking, Gao Fei didn't need to make too many adjustments, so he played off the ball first.
Kobe felt that Tony Allen was coming menacingly, and he became interested, dribbling the ball under the crotch at the top of the arc, looking for an offensive rhythm.
Tony Allen knew that he was facing the top offensive players in the league, so he didn't dare to be careless, and took small steps to keep his legs alive.
Kobe started suddenly, passed the defense, and went straight to the penalty area.
Tony Allen thought that Kobe would attack resolutely and accelerate with all his strength. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that when the opponent made a sudden stop, the center of gravity could not be stabilized in a short time.
Kobe swayed out of space and took a mid-range jump shot!
Swish!
Hollow hit!
Lakers 2-0 Celtics!
Goofy returns to the backcourt and marks Pierce.
Pierce is a small forward, but he doesn't have much advantage in height and strength. Facing Gao Fei's defense, he is a little uncomfortable.
Tony Allen received a pass from Delonte West and it was the end of the Celtics' first offensive possession.
Luke Wharton felt that Tony Allen was a defensive engineer, and he was a little lax psychologically, which was reflected in his stance, which gave him space.
Tony Allen's shooting posture is ugly, without the slightest sense of elegance, but as long as he can score, it doesn't matter whether his posture is ugly or beautiful.
2-3!
There were warm cheers at the scene.
Rajon Rondo was selected by the Suns with the 21st pick in the first round of this summer's draft and was immediately traded to the Celtics.He is a point guard with a high ball quotient and pass priority. Watching Goofy talk about defense with Luke Walton on the court, he realized that this is the strongest point guard in the league.
"I really hope to play against him." Rondo is not a talented lottery pick and has not yet gotten a starting opportunity.He has a restrained competitive spirit and hopes to compete with the strongest point guard.
Rivers stood on the sidelines, saw Kobe receiving the ball again, and immediately paid close attention to Tony Allen's performance on the defensive end.
Tony Allen was very active defensively, with a little physical confrontation.When Kobe shot, he hit his elbow with a small movement.
If the referee doesn't blow his whistle, it's not a foul.
clang!
Kobe hit the first iron!
Al Jefferson was very steady in the plate, withstood Kwame Brown, and protected the defensive rebound.
Pierce is constrained by high flying, and the offensive end is not easy to play.
With a big wave of his hand, Rivers called out the tactics and asked the players to hand the ball to Al Jefferson.
Kwame Brown didn't expect that his challenge would come suddenly.
Al Jefferson's defense is weak, but his offensive skills are solid.
Kwame Brown lowered his center of gravity, put his right forearm against Al Jefferson, and sensed the opponent's offensive movement.
Al Jefferson dribbles with his back, finds a familiar rhythm, and holds the ball frame with both hands.Kwame Brown, who was overreacting, was immediately aroused by the fake shot.
"Broken!" Kwame Brown was not playing basketball for the first time. When he saw Al Jefferson stepping forward with his left foot, he knew that his opponent had used a dream dance.
The background board was born, accompanied by a foul!
"Al Jefferson is like a dancer on the field, playing with the former No. [-] pick with skillful footsteps." Mike Breen explained this attack with gorgeous words.
Pierce felt that Gao Fei's defense made him uncomfortable, and his teammates were naturally extremely happy to score.Walked over and high-fived the slightly silent Al Jefferson, then stood to the right of the free throw line.
Al Jefferson took a deep breath and made the free throw steadily!
2-6!
The Celtics fans did not expect the team to take the lead quickly, their morale was high, and they shouted for defense in unison.
"It's like the playoffs." Gao Fei dribbled forward, and because Kwame Brown and Odom have strong mobility, there is no need to deliberately press the rhythm to attack.
Luke Walton receives a pass.
Because Delonte West is at a disadvantage in height, he chose to hold the lower plate and not give Luke Walton a chance to attack.
Luke Walton dribbled the ball and turned around, the sole of his foot was stumbled, and he fell directly to the court.
Joe Crawford still didn't call a foul.
"Joe, is the whistle in your mouth malfunctioning?" Kobe was a little dissatisfied, and angrily yelled at the referee during the retreat process.
For other people, Joe Crawford is likely to give a technical foul.But the opponent was Kobe, so he had to be patient and resolutely ignored him.
With the help of Ryan Gomez's screen, Pierce finally received the pass and misplaced Odom.
Between rhythm changes, Odom was tricked and lost his defensive position.
Pierce saw Ziying appear from the corner of his eye, but he felt that it was all right, so he shot decisively.
Snapped!
The sound of Gao Fei hitting the basketball was extremely harsh to his ears.
"Damn it, I've been covered in hot pot." Pierce muttered in his heart.
Gao Fei fanned the ball out of bounds, and the ball still belonged to the Celtics.
"Paul, play patiently, don't worry." Rivers reminded Pierce when he sent the sideline.
Pierce pointed to the sky, indicating that he would stabilize, took the ball from Joe Crawford, raised it above his head, and looked for his teammates on the field.
Gao Fei stretched out his arms, constantly jumping and interfering, making it more difficult to serve.
Unable to serve the ball, Pierce hurriedly put his right hand on his shoulder and called a timeout.
Rivers chose a short timeout, only 20 seconds, and arranged frontcourt sideline tactics.
"High, the Celtics focus their defense on Kobe. They don't pay you enough attention. You can punish them on the offensive end." Zen master can understand the situation on the field and knows that the Celtics have sent all their defensive heavy troops. Gave it to Kobe.
"No problem." Gao Fei knows almost all the skills on the court, allowing him to come up with a personal attack, which is also a top level.
There was no competition between Kobe and Goofy, and there was no question of who had more opportunities to perform and who had fewer.As long as it can help the team win, anything can be done.
The 20-second pause is over!
Al Jefferson throws a sideline pass to Rondo who is waiting on the court.
Rondo looked at Gao Fei in the frontcourt, not only feeling nervous, but also a desire to challenge the strong.If he can juggle Goofy for one round, he can make a name for himself in no time.
It's just easier said than done.
"Rajon, pass the ball to Al Jefferson." Rivers still trusts the big players more.
Rondo is just a little-known rookie without any privileges and must be executed according to tactics, otherwise he will be easily replaced.He knew that and lobbed the ball to Al Jefferson in the low post.
"I have to hold on, or his confidence will build up." Kwame Brown knew where the situation was headed.The obvious point is that he has become the target of opponents at this stage.
Al Jefferson leaned against the defense, suddenly turned sideways, and came up with an unpretentious hook shot!
His body is wide enough to form a natural barrier, blocking Kwame Brown's outstretched right hand.
Two hits!
2-8!
"Al Jefferson is really good!" Bill Russell came to the sidelines and watched the game live. He was very happy to see the big men in the team play well.
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge also watched the game from the sidelines, seeing Al Jefferson's offensive performance and seeing his value.
"This guy is good, and he might be a good bargaining chip." Seeing the players in the team performing well, Angie's first reaction was not to keep them in the team, but how to sell them at a good price.
Some people in the industry once commented on Angie, as long as there is interest, he can even trade his mother.Although it is a bit ridiculous, it can still reflect Angie's ruthlessness in the professional league.
Gao Fei had autonomy before participating in the draft, and he never considered the Celtics at all.He didn't want to be a soldier all his life, and then suddenly be sold by Anji.
Angie watched Gao Fei dribble forward, and had an inexplicable premonition that he would break through.But the actual situation is not the case.
Gao Fei has strong jumping ability and athletic talent, but it is not the only two. He is skilled in personal skills and singles Pierce.
Pierce paid attention to the movement and didn't want to ignore every detail, but Gao Fei's speed was much faster than him, and he couldn't grasp all the information at all.
Goofy speeded up and forced Pierce to chase and defend in a panic, then changed his rhythm, stopped and started quickly, and made a cool mid-range move!
Swish!
4-8!
Goofy's mid-range jumper is even more difficult to defend than Kobe because of his better jumping ability.Fortunately for most defenders in the league, Goofy is a pass-first point guard, otherwise he will face an unstoppable offense.
This goal blew the horn of Gao Fei's personal attack.
Zen Master's rotation was flexible, taking advantage of Gao Fei's hot state, he replaced Kobe to rest with 6 minutes left in the first quarter.The purpose of doing this is to allow Kobe to appear early in the second quarter, maintain a strong point at all times, and increase the overall competitiveness of the team.
Kobe accepted the dispatch, sat back to the sidelines, and continued to observe Gao Fei's game.
Gao Fei is the top point guard in the league. In addition to his personal offense, he also has the ability to drive his teammates.The difficulty of defending him is only a lot more than Nash.
Tony Allen is the Celtics' only defensive strength on the outside line. He played against Kobe and then defended Goofy alone.He really felt the difference between the two.
Kobe is that you know his offensive choice, but you can't stop it at all; Gao Fei can never guess what to do next, and you have no way to start defense, and you feel like you are being played like a monkey.
Regardless of the attack method, Tony Allen was embarrassed.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers gained a slight lead.
Gao Fei played 9 minutes in the first quarter, and could rest more in the second quarter, sitting on the sidelines and watching Kobe lead the team.
When the two of them play at the same time, they will coordinate the ratio of shooting power and off-ball offense.When leading the team alone, they will play more calmly.
Kobe showed unparalleled offensive ability, but Pierce didn't hesitate, and he insisted on clinging to the point difference.
"The Celtics team seems to have continued the iron-blooded style established during Auerbach's period. No matter when, they don't want to give up easily." Mike Breen commented.
At the end of the first half, the Celtics led by three points instead.
Lakers 54-57 Celtics!
Gao Fei put on his warm-up suit and walked into the player tunnel.
Kobe walked behind, silent.He knew that there would be some adjustments in the second half, and he didn't worry about the team's state at all.
Zen Master discussed with his teaching assistant Brian Shaw to see if adjustments were needed.
"Al Jefferson has become a surprise player for the Celtics. If he can't deal with it well, it will still be difficult to play in the second half." Brian Shaw expressed his opinion.
Zen Master smiled and said, "The NBA is the top professional league. Even the worst team has the possibility to create miracles. Every night is not easy to play."
"Yes. There are no underdogs in the league, and no one is sure to win."
During the 15 minutes of the intermission, the Lakers were discussing the game.
After returning to the court, a coping strategy has been found.
In the traditional thinking of Americans, it is believed that going around the front to defend is admitting cowardice.Gao Fei does not have this rigid idea, and is willing to adopt this defensive method in the game, but it is not him who executes it, but Kwame Brown.
Kwame Brown's golf quotient is not high, and he was selected as the No. [-] pick in the draft entirely because of his physical talent.His flexibility makes the forward defense a great threat.
Delonte West is not a point guard above the standard, has a certain offensive ability, and the passing level is not up to the top.He couldn't get the ball in, and Al Jefferson's offensive power couldn't be displayed.
"This is the adaptability of the Lakers." Reggie Miller is a player. From a professional perspective, "Last season's playoffs, the Lakers relied on this extremely strong adaptability to win the championship all the way."
Mark Jackson also has a background in professional players, and said: "This comes from the execution of the Lakers. The players are unambiguous in their offensive and defensive tactics, and they can produce results, so they can create a purple and gold miracle."
"To put it bluntly, he is still capable." Reggie Miller said, "If you change to another team and hurt the starting center, you will basically miss the championship."
"The Lakers' guard line is indeed very good, basically possessing the top strength in the league." Mike Breen also favors the Lakers' guards.
In the third quarter, relying on Kwame Brown's defense around the front and the offensive ability of the two guards, the Lakers successfully overtook the score.
During the intermission, Rivers tried to mobilize the players' emotions with a hoarse voice.With the help of defensive and offensive coaches, he doesn't need to adjust his tactics, but rather feeds the players chicken soup for the soul.
The players had a full drink, cheered up, and returned to the court to play.
Lakers 78-73 Celtics!
The Lakers' offense in the first round of the fourth quarter failed to score!
Pierce glanced at the scoreboard and knew that the point difference was within the catchable range, and he had to play better to succeed.
Rajon Rondo showed passing talent in the third quarter, so he was reused.
Rondo controlled the ball at the top of the arc, faced Luke Walton's defense, and chose to speed up and break through.
Luke Walton didn't study the game video and didn't know Rondo's style.If he knew that the opponent's shooting ability was not good, he would let it go one step ahead. Unfortunately, there was not enough information, so he didn't do this, and he was wiped out.
Rondo strode forward quickly with both legs, quickly rushed to the basket, passed the fake pass to deceive Kwame Brown, and picked the basket with his left hand!
Elegant and gorgeous!
78-75!
"Hey, Rondo still has this hand? It seems that he has found a treasure!" Rivers did not expect Rondo to stand up, which was a surprise for the team.
The surprises are not over yet.
Odom made a turn in the middle, and Rondo saw through his intention to pass the ball to Kobe.The basketball flew halfway and was intercepted by Rondo who rushed over.
"His wingspan is really long!" Gao Fei still thought about it in the process of chasing and defending quickly.
Rondo's speed is very fast, but there is still a gap between him and Gao Fei.
"Come to him for a left-handed layup and become famous." Rondo said happily.
boom!
"Hey! Why is the sound wrong?!" Rondo ran out of the baseline to buffer, and heard the sound coming from behind him. No matter how he heard it, it was different from the sound when he scored.Looking back, the basketball has flown back to the center line.
After Gao Fei finished chasing and blocking the block, he received a wave of applause instead.
Seeing that the ball was still in the hands of the Celtics, Rondo pretended to be indifferent and continued to return to the court to play.
"No one should see that I was blocked." He played in front of 2 people not long ago, feeling a bit embarrassed by being blocked, so he could only comfort himself.
To his surprise, after Al Jefferson made a foul, the big screen above the stadium replayed the process of Gao Fei chasing and blocking the shot.
"Ah, this. This is the North Shore Garden Arena. Are the staff going to put me in an embarrassing situation?" Rondo was a little aggrieved at the playback center staff.
Al Jefferson made two free throws to help the team chase the score to only two points.
Lakers 89-87 Celtics!
5 minutes and 26 seconds!
"Tony, go defend Kobe." Pierce flew high and asked Tony Allen to stop Kobe.
Tony Allen is like a brick, where it needs to be moved.This is a very realistic situation for role players. Only by maintaining a positive attitude can you stay on the court.
Kobe receives the pass and wants to respond offensively.
Make an emergency stop on the left and make a big backward jumper!
Tony Allen couldn't get close to the basketball, so he used a blindfold, with his right hand stretched out in front of Kobe, blocking his eyes.
"Can you block my sight, can you block my feel?" Kobe said trash talk to Tony Allen after seeing the ball go in.
If it was an ordinary player, he would not bother to bother.Tony Allen won Kobe's respect with his tough defense, so he put pressure on words.
Goofy remains calm and tangles with Pierce.
Suddenly, Pierce's movements became louder.The arms of the two were entangled, and trash talk was slammed into each other's faces.
Pierce knew that Goofy was very important in the Lakers' offensive system, so he came up with this bad idea out of desperation.
Joe Crawford knew that the fine would be for charity, so he decisively blew the whistle, whistled for technical fouls on both sides, and took tens of thousands of dollars from their pockets.
Pierce is a top-paid player and doesn't care about this fine.
Goofy is Nike's top brand, with countless endorsement contracts.This punishment is just a drop in the bucket for him, and he doesn't care about it either.
He's a tough player who doesn't make anyone feel like he's a bully.This is the key to survival in the league, and no one is exempt.
Since both Goofy and Pierce received technical fouls, no actual free throws were made, and the Celtics continued to execute the offense.
Pierce's technical foul was not white-collar, successfully arousing the atmosphere of the fans, and the strong sideline pressure appeared again.
The Boston fans shouted wildly, hitting the morale of the Lakers players and giving the players on the field a strong boost.
Al Jefferson's fantastic footsteps reappeared, playing Kwame Brown's defense and creating a foul.
The basketball was thrown casually and spun three times on the basket, as if doing exercise.When the goal hit the net, the cheers sounded from the scene seemed to be able to overturn the roof of the arena.
When Al Jefferson got to the free-throw line, the subtitles read his stats for the game—24 points and 15 rebounds.This is a double-double on the inside, which means that he has played a strong role in this game.
Kwame Brown is a good post defender and doesn't get blown up very often.He is more used to defending powerful opponents, and it is not so easy to limit the versatile Al Jefferson.
In addition, the psychology of being disturbed by the fans at the scene is also a factor.
Kwame Brown is not a mentally strong player and is easily frustrated when things happen.When it comes to big scenes, occasionally there will be stage fright.
Goofy can change tactics, but he cannot change the character of his teammates.There is no way for him to reverse this phenomenon of being able to perform abnormally temporarily despite being clearly capable.
Al Jefferson made two free throws!
26+15 data!
Pierce was excited and gave Al Jefferson a high five.
Lakers 98-99 Celtics!
2 minutes and 15 seconds!
Gao Fei advanced with the ball, steadily suppressed the rhythm, and passed the ball to Kobe.
Facing Tony Allen's defense, Kobe ignored the massive consumption of physical energy and chose to attack again.
The nickname he gave himself was Black Mamba, and when he met a strong opponent, he could arouse his bloodthirsty instinct even more.Tony Allen's defense is great, and it can obviously bring her such a sense of challenge, but it is easy to ignore her teammates.
Kobe's mid-range jumper was blocked by a blindfolded defense.
Tony Allen saw that the arc of the shot was not particularly straight, and shouted at the same time: "Rebound!"
Al Jefferson has a magnet in his palm, sucking the basketball away and protecting the next priceless defensive rebound.
"Come on! BEAT LA!" There was a neat shout at the scene, cheering for the players of the home team.
At this time, the Celtics will definitely give the ball to Paul Pierce.Not only the fans know it well, Gao Fei also has a prediction.
Rondo played well in the second half, still gained the trust of the coaching staff, and still played on the court.He handles the ball very well and is not afraid of Luke Walton's defense at all.
Pierce goes around the screen!
Ryan Gomez didn't stand still, and used a moving screen to block Gao Fei from the defensive goal.
Pierce's jumper from the top of the arc made a deadly attack at the most critical moment.
Swish!
98-102!
Bill Russell applauded vigorously, celebrating the team's four-point lead.
Gao Fei was not in a hurry, and quickly advanced with the ball, wanting to make a long three-pointer.
Tony Allen didn't switch defenses and continued to be in front of Kobe.
Pierce is like a candy bar, completely glued to Goofy, not giving a single shot space.He is a very experienced player, and he knows that at this time he would rather make a breakthrough than shoot.
Gao Fei had no room to make a shot and passed it to Luke Walton.
Luke Walton has key ball ability, but he is not stable.When he shot, he immediately realized that it was a little crooked.
"Backboard!"
This cry not only reminded the Lakers players, but also made the Celtics respond in advance.
Al Jefferson gets the rebound!
Mike Breen had to sigh: "Al Jefferson played like a god of war today, and both offensive and defensive ends caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers."
"It stands to reason that this should not be the case." Reggie Miller said, "Maybe Kwame Brown hasn't played a game for a long time, and encountered such a warm atmosphere at the North Shore Garden Arena, he was a little at a loss for a while."
"Han Mei Brown is a very good low-post defender. It is indeed a bit abnormal for him to play such a performance." Mark Jackson agreed with Reggie Miller's words.
The host of the North Shore Garden Arena is a very clever person. He realized that Kwame Brown had a mentality problem and tried hard to call on the fans to boo him.This trick has achieved good results. In the last defensive round, Kwame Brown reacted too early and was fouled by Al Jefferson again.
Another 2+1!
Paul Pierce couldn't hide his excitement and rushed to celebrate with Al Jefferson.Although the goal of the Celtics is to compete for the championship, he is very clear that the team's current strength is not yet at that level. The immediate goal is to overthrow the Lakers. If they can do it, it is natural to celebrate.
Gao Fei stood at the top of the arc, realized that there was no chance to reverse, and calmly accepted the defeat.
Al Jefferson became the player who dominated the game, scoring 32 points and 18 rebounds, close to 30+20, which discredited the former No. [-] pick Kwame Brown.
高飞20分13助攻;科比34分5篮板。双人合砍54分,仍然没能阻止球队的失利。
Kobe wanted to win this game very much, but he was not able to do so, and he was temporarily frustrated.
One of the great things about the regular season is that after one game you have to prepare for the next one, and you may have to fly long distances, there is no time to sink into the blues.
After Gao Fei returned to the locker room, he took the initiative to high-five Kwame Brown.
"It's okay. No matter how strong the team is, it is impossible to win 82 games in the regular season. There are still games to come, so try to adjust." Gao Fei knew that Kwame Brown was a player who lacked confidence, so he did not choose to apply tough pressure , but to encourage him to move on.
Although Gao Fei was young, he gave Kwame Brown a feeling like a big brother, as if he was bathed in the spring breeze and walked out of the emotion of defeat.
"Guys, shall we set off for the next city tonight, or tomorrow?" Zen master was used to seeing big scenes, and he would not be affected by a loss in a regular season, so he asked the players.
Gao Fei said: "I didn't win the game today, and the Boston fans should not be too emotional. I'm a little tired after the game. I'd better rest here for a night and go to the next city tomorrow."
"Gao Fei said his proposal," Chan Master asked, not wanting to impress the other team members with Gao Fei's eloquence, "What do you think?"
Kobe is also the leader of the team, and said: "Let's rest for a night. After the loss, I feel more mentally fatigued, and Anwen feels that this effect can be alleviated."
The rest of the players didn't have any idea at all, and when the two guards expressed their views, they followed suit one after another.
