my golden age

Chapter 34
"Gao, you were eliminated by the NBA, go back to the CBA to play!" Jerry Bass twisted in the dark, and the colors were instantly rendered into a painting, and then the characters in the painting had a clear image.

"GAO SUCK!" The voice of the [-] spectators shouted in unison, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, beating on Gao Fei's slightly heavy brain.

"High! High!" A vague call came from around, and [-] spectators disappeared.Kobe sat next to him, shaking his shoulders.

Gao Fei looked around and confirmed that he was on a passenger plane bound for Washington, and he hadn't been returned, nor was he scolded by [-] spectators.Suddenly there is a feeling of relief.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Kobe looked at Goofy with interest.

Gao Fei moved his slightly stiff neck, and said, "The atmosphere in the North Shore Garden Arena is terrifying. I just experienced another scene where 2 people scolded me in my dream."

"You have experienced too little. If we can make the playoffs, you will see more scary scenes."

"You'll get used to it after a long time." Gao Fei rubbed his forehead, "It's the first time I saw this kind of battle, and it really has a psychological impact."

"You're a rookie, these are the processes you have to go through." Bryant looked at Goofy rubbing his eyes with his right hand, and realized again that he was just a rookie who played four games.

The plane was guided by the control tower and landed at Washington Airport.The bus contacted in advance is waiting for the players in the dark.

Goofy carried his Nike sports backpack, yawned, and transferred from the passenger plane to the bus.He and Pierce fought back and forth, exhausting a lot of physical energy, sleepiness climbed up his eyelids, and the surrounding things became no longer visible.

Odom sat next to Goofy.He didn't speak, and leaned back in his seat, recalling the scene of the final stage of the game.

Gao Fei confidently defended against Pierce three times in a row. Although there was an element of luck in it, if it were him, he would not be able to do it with any certainty.

"This kid is really not simple." Odom looked at the sleeping Gao Fei, full of emotion in his heart, "Is it true that the team can compete for the championship this year as the outside world said?"

A cloud covering the sky and the sun floated in the dark night sky, and rain fell on the whole city of Washington.With the gust of wind, it brings a bit of coolness in the middle of the night.

"Gao, we're at the hotel, go back to your room and rest." Odom woke up Gao Fei who was sleeping.

The brightly lit hotel looks magnificent like a crystal in the dark night.Like a lighthouse in the deep sea, guiding the direction of late returners.

Gao Fei cherished the gifts from others, hugged the Nike shoulder bag to his chest, and rushed into the hotel lobby.

Since the Lakers are a major customer, there are special personnel to receive them and distribute room cards to the players.

Gao Fei was used to the small room, holding the room card belonging to marginal players, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room.

……

Kobe has not experienced four consecutive victories for a long time. After lying down for about three hours, he woke up from the dream of holding the O'Brien Cup.

It was early morning light outside, and it was raining.

He really couldn't restrain the urge to practice, woke up the messy-haired shooting coach, and went to the Verizon Center, home of the Wizards.

"Kobe, it's only six o'clock. Is it necessary to wake up so early?" The shooting coach asked Kobe sleepily while sitting in the back of the taxi before he had enough rest.

"I don't think the shooting feel is very good in the last game, and I must strengthen it." Kobe is very clear about his goal and is willing to work hard for it.

The Verizon Center came into view, and posters of Arenas, Jamison and Caron Butler were the first things to be noticed.

"Caron played well in the Wizards." The shooting coach knew that Butler and Kobe were good friends, so he said something lively.

Bryant felt it was better not to make the deal in the first place.If the small forward position is Butler, just sign a blue-collar center, maybe the strength is stronger than now.However, he is not someone who is willing to interfere with the management's decision, so he should not think about such a foregone conclusion.

The Verizon Center has opened, and Kobe entered from the player tunnel to train in the competition venue.

As he approached the court, he heard the familiar sound of a basketball bouncing off the floor.This voice indicated that someone had come earlier than him.

The dream on the plane last night was too real, the fear of being eliminated from the NBA turned into extra motivation, waking Gao Fei from his sleep.

"Gao has arrived!" The shooting coach came behind Kobe, looked at the brightly lit court, and saw Gao Fei who was practicing shooting alone.

Kobe signaled the shooting coach to be silent, stood on the sidelines, and observed Goofy's training dynamics.

Gao Fei was too focused and didn't notice anyone on the sidelines.He didn't shoot the basketball in his hand, and deliberately repeated the action from receiving the ball to shooting. There is only this one training, which has not been changed for a long time.

"Let's go over there." Kobe didn't want to disturb Gao Fei, who was concentrating on training, and went to the other half with the shooting coach to practice back-and-left turn-back jumpers.

His training is equally boring, and he repeats the same movement for a long time.

The sound of the basketball bouncing on the wooden floor broke Gao Fei's concentration.

He looked back and saw that Kobe was practicing the back-up shot that he had already mastered by heart.

Gao Fei didn't go to say hello, he dribbled the ball with his left hand, and moved his aching wrist after doing the same movement for a long time.

"Gao, what time did you come to the arena?" The shooting coach heard the sound of dribbling and asked Gao Fei who was in the other half of the court.

"It's five o'clock." Gao Fei didn't remember the time, but only remembered that it was still dark when he went out, and it was estimated to be around five o'clock.

"There's no game today, and you've made me so nervous." The shooting coach was a little helpless towards the two core players of the team.

Kobe turned around and threw the basketball, saying, "Gao is working too hard. If I don't hurry up, I won't be able to keep up with his progress."

The shooting coach said helplessly: "You two are backcourt partners, why bother to compete?"

"Because we are the same kind of people, and we don't want to be worse than others." Kobe took the rebounded basketball, continued to play with his back, and threw the ball, "I am much older than him. I can't hang on."

"It's really helpless." The shooting coach went to the basket to pick up the ball, and couldn't help but think to himself, "It's a good fortune for these two paranoid people to meet each other."

Gao Fei practiced transitions for several hours, practiced strength with bare hands, and then practiced shooting.He was sent to a sports school at a very young age, used to being a loner, and still chooses for himself.

When the players came to the arena one after another, the training ground gradually became lively.This team confrontation in groups, the smell of gunpowder is much greater than usual.

No one can figure out why Kobe and Goofy are hooked up all of a sudden.

Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines and did not communicate with the players.He looked at the tit-for-tat double stars in the backcourt, not only did not want to stop, but also secretly encouraged this confrontation.

Gao Fei is still in the stage of increasing the ball, and being able to compete with top players will undoubtedly accelerate his growth.

Phil Jackson wants to see how big a storm these two talented guards can make.
