Chapter 23 The Return of the King

Kenny Smith held the earphones in his right hand, tried his best to avoid the noisy sounds on the scene, listened to the director's latest report on Gao Fei's injury, and then relayed: "According to the feedback from the rear reporters, Gao Fei will not return in the first half of the game."

Garivetti made this decision in Goofy's favor.

The Spurs seized the opportunity when Gao Fei was not on the court, widened the point difference, and led the Lakers 46-37 by 9 points.For the Spurs, who value defense more, limiting the Lakers to 37 points in the halftime is something to be happy about.

However, there is no relaxed expression on the faces of the Spurs players. As long as the game is not over, they cannot relax.

Kobe walked back to the locker room and saw Goofy sitting on a chair.Although the indoor lighting is bright, the gauze shadow covers the left eye, which is a bit unreal.

"Gao, how are you?" He came over and asked.

Gao Fei was resting with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes when he heard Kobe speak.His left eye was slightly red, but his eyes were sharp enough.

"It's okay, I can return to the game in the second half."

Kobe realized that Gao Fei was not interested in talking, so he pulled up a chair, sat not far away, and stretched his legs to rest.

Basketball players need to lower their center of gravity when defending. If the knees are bent for a long time, the ligaments will be fatigued.Kobe pays great attention to the maintenance of his body, the purpose is to prolong his career as much as possible.

Garivetti helped Kwame Brown tie an ice pack on his knee, using the effect of ice to relieve the pain caused by strong confrontation.

Kwame Brown entered the league in 2001 and played for four seasons. He also suffered from many minor injuries.How to minimize the impact is the job of team doctors and trainers.

Kenny Smith and Barkley will continue to speak to ensure that the live broadcast will not be silent until the second half of the game begins.

"The Lakers got off to a smooth start, and since Gao Fei left the field, the offense has fallen into a singles puzzle." Kenny Smith talked about Gao Fei's role in this team, "Last season has proved that this style of play does not have much competition. force."

"The Lakers lack an offensive point. Gao can activate his teammates on the court, and can be used as a second scoring point to draw the defense. After he left the court, the Spurs' defensive focus was on Kobe, and they played handily."

"Goofy will return in the second half, but the Spurs may bring up Manu Ginobili. I don't know if the defending champion can end the Lakers' winning streak."

"I don't think so." Gao Fei's impeccable performance convinced Barkley.He has a straight-forward character, ignoring the comparison of strengths and choosing to trust the Lakers.

……

Candace Parker listens to the game on the radio in his University of Tennessee dorm room.In the past, he thought James was incredible, but now he thinks Gao Fei is unrivaled.

"The Lakers are back on the court, and the gauze on Goofy's left eye is like a medal of honor. His eyes are cold and calm, just like two worlds from the arena with loud cheers..." The radio commentator can only pass The sound broadcast of the game is usually more difficult than the TV commentator.

"Candice," the girl who lived in the same dormitory as Candice Park poked her head out and asked, "Did you really shoot the cover of a magazine with Gao Fei?"

"Of course it's true," Candace Parker said. "It's in the first half of November, and you'll see it then."

"Can you help me get his autographed poster?" the girl said her request.

Candace Parker didn't expect Gao Fei to be so popular, so he happily agreed.

……

Gao Fei took off his warm-up suit and called his teammates to his side: "I'm back, I'll win this game!" After finishing speaking, he put his hands in the middle.

The teammates have already trusted Gao Fei unconsciously, especially the contrast between before and after the injury and retirement strengthened this feeling.

Kobe witnessed Goofy's rapid growth and felt incredible.

Fans at the scene saw Goofy stepping onto the field and chanted his last name.This is how American fans show their love.

Gao Fei came to the field and didn't communicate with his teammates anymore.

Odom knew Goofy very well, and thought, "There's something wrong with this kid!"

Popovich still chose to stick to the rules and let Ginobili play the connecting segment to ensure that the bench lineup can suppress the Lakers.

He stood on the sidelines, watching Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll nervously.

Duncan put his hands in front of him, covering solidly, and collided with Gao Fei who was chasing laterally.He felt Gao Fei's tyrannical strength and was slightly surprised.

Odom has no less than the speed of a small forward, following Parker.

The French sports car turned around deftly, got rid of the defense, and leaned forward with his right hand for a layup.

Hit the board!

The Spurs players are like machines, but Parker can't hide his excitement.

Gao Fei was the calmer one, catching the ball in silence and walking across the half court.

Bruce Bowen came up to defend!

After an ordinary player is injured, he will be more or less frightened when he sees a player who has caused injury to himself.Gao Fei was not like this, his competitive spirit and anger rose, as if returning to the first years of playing basketball.

……

"Goofy! Don't play fancy moves! How many times have I told you that there is no room for these fancy moves on the field, and it will affect efficiency. Next time you do this again, you will be fined to run twenty laps of the playground!" Gao Fei's first coach, Qi Jianjun, is a very old-fashioned trainer who doesn't allow him to practice the fancy moves he learned from video tapes.

Even so, Gao Fei still couldn't hold back his desire to show off, and he hasn't stopped practicing all these years.It's just that for the competition, these actions are basically dusted in the corner.

it's time.Let the Lakers and domestic fans see something different.

Gao Fei dribbled the ball with his left hand and signaled his teammates to pull away.

Bo Wen didn't expect Gao Fei to be full of confidence, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at this unique young man in front of him with unusual concentration.

Goofy kicked in without warning, and the basketball seemed to be a part of him, moving dizzyingly across the floor and between Goofy's hands.This rhythm is very special, known as Crossover.

Bowen retreated hastily, his center of gravity was difficult to maintain, and he staggered slightly.

Gao Fei's left-handed dribble changed direction, making Bowen's unstable center of gravity continue to develop to an uncontrollable level.

Before Bowen realized what happened, his knees had already touched the floor and his hands were on the ground, so he didn't fall all over.

Gao Fei confidently received the ball, just in front of Bo Wen who was knocked down, and played the middle distance in style!

It feels just right in the hand!

He didn't look at the basket, turned around early to celebrate!

Kenny Smith was very excited when he saw the goal: "Gao knocked down Bruce Bowen with a beautiful Crossover and Shammgod!! My God!! The talent of the 'artist' is unforgettable!"

Barkley was also very excited: "It's also scoring, but every time Gao scores a goal, it can make people feel like a picture! The new generation of sports idols must be him!"

Kobe was also very excited, high-fived Gao Fei, and praised: "Damn, that shot just now was great!"

"I was bitten by a dog, and I can't bite back, but I should give him a good beating." Gao Fei said this expressionlessly.He was not unhappy, but he was afraid that his smile would open the wound, so he tried to keep his face paralyzed.
