my golden age

Chapter 35 Super Confidence

As the team with the most name changes in the league, the Wizards are far away from the glorious period.However, the well-known Michael Jordan played in this team for two seasons in the past few years. In the summer of his third retirement, the Wizards signed rookie coach Eddie Jordan.

This Jordan is really far from the Jordan that almost everyone in the basketball circle is familiar with.There is no outstanding talent, and the level of player training is not strong.

He attached great importance to the game against the Lakers tomorrow night. There were many papers full of tactics on the desk, and the breeze mixed with raindrops blew in, and some of them were flipped and flew to the slightly dusty ground.

The Wizards had a bad start, and Eddie Jordan was a bit overwhelmed. He was not in the mood to tidy up the room, and he felt messy.He really wanted to have a big fight with his wife over this matter, but he thought of dealing with the rebellious Arenas, dispelling this energy-consuming thought.

"Honey, I'm going out." Eddie Jordan tied his tie, put on his leather shoes at the door, and hurriedly greeted the bedroom. Before waiting for a response, he ran into the parking lot and headed to the Verizon Center.

Arenas was a second-round pick in 2001. He started his career with the Golden State Warriors and now he is the king of the mountain with the Washington Wizards.The No. [-] pick that year when he ran for the election was Kwame Brown, who was selected by the Wizards.

The original situation was almost reversed.

"The weather in Washington is really exhausting." Odom wanted to go outside to play in the afternoon, but the rain continued and he couldn't get out of the hotel at all.

He felt bored, so he got a few decks of poker from the front desk, and summoned a few teammates who love to play to pass the boring time.

Vujacic played a 3 and asked, "Have you guys felt the rivalry between Kobe and Gao lately?"

Odom played a 4 and said with a smile: "The intensity of their training match has almost reached the level of the finals. If this continues, the training match will be a fight, just with a ball."

"Gao is really powerful and can stimulate Kobe who is already so strong. I feel that if they go on like this, they will soon dominate the backcourt." Luke Walton said.

"Hey, the glory is theirs, we have nothing." Odom said with a sigh.

"Who said that?" Vujacic didn't think so. "We are not top players. The only honor we can get is the championship ring. Kobe and Gao ruled the backcourt, which is also beneficial to us, at least there are a lot of vacancies."

"I don't know what these two people are doing at the moment!" Odom looked at the window, the rain above was constantly flowing down, and he couldn't see the scenery outside the window clearly.

Bryant enjoyed a rare afternoon talking on the phone with his pregnant wife.

Gao Fei was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through the comics of Slam Dunk.Training will not last 24 hours, work and rest, good for the body and mind.

He saw the national competition, and saw the Xiangbei players who were nervous and overwhelmed when they were about to face the Mountain King, as if thinking of the mood when he first came to the NBA.At that time, he thought that the players here were high above, seemed to be at a level that he could not touch, and the nervousness was no less than that of characters in comic books.

He opened the window, and the wind blew in, helping to turn the page.The scene above is that coach Anzai encourages Miyagi, which reminds him of Phil Jackson's tolerance towards him.

Phil Jackson has coached Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and also brought O'Neal and Kobe, and he is used to motivating players with challenges.Not using this method against him, to a certain extent, prevented him from going the way of Kwame Brown.

Gao Fei has watched Slam Dunk many times, and he knows that the game against the Mountain King can be said to be the essence of the whole book.Without looking any further, he put the bookmark back in the comic book, then put it back in the shoulder bag.

Since he was selected for the national youth team, he has played for many years, and his original passion has gradually faded.Coming to the NBA, the fanatical atmosphere at the scene made him regain some of his original intentions.

"Agent 0? It seems like a unique opponent."

Verizon Center!
"Coach, aren't they the Lakers' duo?" Arenas put his right hand on the table, and said casually, "Eddie, don't be intimidated by Kobe's name. We have Tridents, so we are not afraid of them at all."

Arenas said the trident is him, Jamison and Butler.The three of them are the trio with the most points per game in the league since the start of the game. Although they win less and lose more, he is not worried about the prospects.

"The Lakers have won four consecutive victories, don't you take it to heart at all?" Eddie Jordan couldn't understand the disciple's thoughts.

"Coach, do you think my scoring ability is worse than Kobe's?" Arenas suddenly asked a difficult question.

Eddie Jordan was at a loss for words for a while, and said falteringly: "It's not that you are inferior to Kobe..."

"Since you think I'm better than Kobe, what are you worried about?" Arenas has his own theory.

"This……"

"Okay, Eddie. I will overtake Kobe in tomorrow night's game. You don't have to worry too much." Arenas felt that he was no worse than anyone else, and his excessive self-confidence made him a core player from an unknown substitute. star.

Eddie Jordan didn't expect Arenas to speak so well, and he was speechless.He originally planned to persuade the players to follow the Celtics' defensive style and drag the Lakers into hand-to-hand combat, but now he has to give up this idea.

Arenas saw Eddie Jordan's frown slightly, and smiled, "Eddie, if I score lower than Kobe tomorrow night, I'll give you $[-]."

Eddie Jordan looked at Arenas, saw the surging confidence in his eyes, and said, "I believe in you, you don't need to prove it to me in this way."

Arenas stood up, walked to the door of the locker room, turned around and said before leaving the door: "Coach, they are also ordinary players with two arms and two legs, don't be cowardly, just do it." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the arena Go to the parking lot, drive a luxury car and head to the nightclub.

Others may be afraid of Kobe's reputation, but Arenas is not.

Nightclubs are gold-selling caves and a paradise for men and women.

Arenas is the star of the Wizards. He often goes to the best nightclubs to spend and enjoys the golden VIP service.The graceful girl came to accompany her wisely, and if she let go, she could get a lot of benefits.

For Arenas, whose childhood experience was too shabby, this is a double enjoyment on the psychological and physical levels.

He forgot about Kobe, the Lakers and the Wizards, indulged in drinks and sex, and lingered.

In the away hotel, Gao Fei sat on the bed and practiced evening yoga, which not only relieved the mood, but also increased the flexibility of the body.This is the way he has long been accustomed to relax.

The lingering sound of rain outside the window, accompanied by the fading night, turned into a beautiful landscape painting.Gao Fei with his eyes closed and resting his mind is an inconspicuous stroke in landscape painting.
