my golden age

Chapter 27 Practice Makes Perfect
Goofy sat on the team plane to Boston, rubbing his chin with his hand, listening to soothing and tender music.

The Boston Celtics have been weak for many years since the Cardinals did not get Duncan. Although they are still a team that cannot be underestimated in the East, they are far away from the championship.Even so, it still maintains the atmosphere of rivalry with the Lakers for decades.

Even if one team is in full swing, the other team will not give up easily.

The Lakers plane landed, and the bus picked up the players.

The first thing is to go to the North Shore Garden Arena and get used to the venue in advance.

The North Shore Garden Arena was put into use in 1995, only ten years ago, but when Gao Fei stepped into the slightly dimly lit stadium and looked up to see the sixteen championship banners, the weight of history came to his face.

"You shouldn't choose No. 6. Bill Russell wearing No. 6 ranks first among the top 6 superstars in the official selection." Kobe followed Goofy's line of sight and saw Bill Russell. No. [-] jersey.

The prestige of Lord of the Rings, although it has been many years, is still well known by people.

"I chose No. 6 because of a cartoon character. The purpose is to remind myself to work tirelessly, not to be the best with this number." Gao Fei explained why he chose No. 6.

Kobe smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to read comics."

"Most of the people over there have been exposed to this cartoon in their childhood. I like basketball, which started from that cartoon."

"Everyone has a past." Kobe recalled when he was young, "I spent a period of time in Italy when I was a child. At that time, I was carefree and always accompanied by basketball. Now that I am famous, it is not so pure."

"Basketball is still the same as it was before, and the field is the same. It has become popular." Gao Fei grabbed the rebounded basketball and said, "The reason why I handed over the business to the agent is that I don't want to get involved in it, so that basketball and the game remain the same. As it was."

"There are not many people with your mentality." Kobe said, "But I have to remind you that no matter how you say it, the agent is an outsider, and it involves a large contract, so you still have to be careful, otherwise it is easy to be cheated."

Kobe's words reminded Gao Fei.He doesn't care much about money, which doesn't mean that others don't care. If the manager has a wrong mind, he may not be able to detect it at all.

Yao Ming has a professional brokerage team, and the decisions made by the American brokers are confirmed by professionals.Restrict each other so that no accident will happen.

Gao Fei does not have as high an annual salary as Yao Ming, but the sneaker contract is likely to be not small.He decided to hire a professional lawyer who is familiar with the rules of the NBA to confirm whether there are any pitfalls in the contract.

……

Kobe has conducted countless shooting training since he was a child. He tried to shoot two baskets in the North Shore Garden Arena and found a problem.

"Height, the basket on your left is slightly lower than normal. Pay attention to this during the game." Kobe said something similar to the Arabian Nights.

Gao Fei couldn't believe it, and asked, "How do you know?"

"I shoot with a fixed rhythm. Now there is no confrontation, and the physical consumption is not large, basically there will not be too much deviation." Kobe explained why he found that the basket on the left was relatively low, "Just now I shot on the right and scored all the goals. Switch to the basket on the left, with the same force, but they all hit the back frame."

"If it is true as you said, it will be amazing." Gao Fei still felt incredible.

He knew that in the past, the Celtics would indeed set up various traps that the visiting team could not detect at home, so as to gain an advantage, but this way of discovering the traps is really incredible.

"Don't believe it?" Kobe noticed that Gao Fei doubted his words, "You can try it yourself."

Gao Fei found a long tool on the sidelines, walked into the court, and went to the basket on the left first to let his teammates stop shooting.

He stands directly under the rim, arms outstretched, and measures the height of the rim with a long bar.The only downside is that he can't make sure he's in the same position and angle when standing under the other basket.

Thinking of this, he put the long tool back on the sidelines and said, "I choose to believe in you."

Kobe laughed: "Why didn't you measure the basket on the right?"

"It's too much trouble, and the accuracy can't be guaranteed. Let me ask, how much lower than the normal height of the left basket?"

"The height error is not more than one centimeter, but this difference is enough to make a sharpshooter into an iron king." Kobe confirmed through perception that there is not much difference from the normal height.

Goofy enters the court and starts shooting drills.He experimented, and sure enough, he had a slightly higher shooting percentage in the right half.

"Kobe, how did you know?" Gao Fei still felt incredible.

"Didn't I say it? The muscle memory left over from years of shooting training can also be sensed in slight differences." Kobe replied lightly.

Gao Fei thought of the kind of old masters who sell goods in China, relying on experience, judging the weight by hand or observation, put it on the scale and weigh it, and it was almost the same as the predetermined weight.

This is the state that can only be achieved when the skill reaches perfection.What Gao Fei didn't expect was that Kobe had practiced shooting to such an extent.

Because the Lakers came late, the training at the North Shore Garden Arena did not last too long, but Kobe found something wrong with the basket after only a few shots, and it was always in Gao Fei's mind.Players usually praise Kobe's superb skills, and he thinks there may be elements of flattery. Now that he has personally experienced it, he can't help but be convinced.

"It seems that I will add another poster in the room." Gao Fei sat on the bus back to the hotel, and the more he thought about it, the more he admired Kobe. He decided to add a poster in the room, reminding himself to keep working hard .

Odom also listened to Kobe talking about the rim problem, so he didn't pay much attention, and continued to chat with Luke Walton, who was sitting next to him.

Kobe saw the difference in everyone based on how his teammates reacted.Gao Fei is a person who strives for perfection, and he can resonate with him the most.This is also the reason why he admired Gao Fei when he first came into contact with him.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the away hotel, and Kobe got off first, stood by the door, waited for Gao Fei to come down, and said, "Gao, you can live in the deluxe single room reserved for core players from now on."

Gao Fei and Kobe walked into the hotel together, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. I still feel that the small room is comfortable, so I will leave the big room to my teammates."

Kobe said helplessly: "Your brain circuit is too strange. You don't enjoy a comfortable and luxurious single room, but you prefer to live in that kind of simple small room."

"Professional players are the right way to play well. There is no need to worry about other things. If you care too much, it will become a burden instead." Gao Fei doesn't want to fight for anything that has nothing to do with victory. Only in this way can he have a peaceful mind and always maintain his heart.

Besides this, there is another special reason.Women with unknown purposes often approach the big room, and Gao Fei doesn't want to get caught in it, so he chooses a small room where few people pay attention.
