my golden age

Chapter 4 No Suspense
The strength of the two sides is at the same level, and only heads-up can play a famous scene.

Obviously, Smush Parker doesn't have this ability.

Gao Fei easily defeated his opponent with a score of 11-3 and won the heads-up victory.

Smush Parker was still a little unconvinced, but the facts were in front of him, Gao Fei was better than him.

Phil Jackson didn't start Gao Fei immediately, but arranged another assessment event - a 5-minute points race.

Kobe is undoubtedly the player with the strongest scoring ability in the Lakers team. He will partner with Goofy and Smush Parker respectively, and the player who can grab more points wins.

After listening to the translator explain the rules, Gao Fei naturally understood the Zen master's intention.

The starting point guard has to partner with Kobe in the backcourt, who has a tacit understanding can be easily seen through running and fast break cooperation throughout the court.

Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines, observing Smush Parker first.

The NBA has a fast offensive and defensive rhythm, and short sprints can also reflect physical fitness.

Smush Parker and Bryant teamed up to run, pass each other, and end the first possession with a dunk.

Odom is the team's power forward and is known as a left-handed magician. The biggest problem is that he occasionally loses his mind on the court.Seeing the dunk, he drew a circle with his left index finger and nodded in admiration.

Gao Fei was not worried at all, and stood on the sidelines, admiring the fast break with his teammates.

Kobe's body shape is indeed very suitable for playing basketball, with good speed and coordination during travel, and he is always running fast without any slack.

Brian Shaw pinched the stopwatch and pressed the pause button at five minutes.

The shooting coach counts according to the normal scoring method and writes 52 points on the form.

Kobe ran fast for 5 minutes, rested briefly, and came to the bottom line to continue running with Gao Fei.

Phil Jackson saw Kobe signaling the start and blew his whistle.

Gao Fei ran with the ball significantly faster than Smush Parker, sprinted quickly, and passed to Kobe behind his back.

Kobe wanted to see Goofy's ability and quickly returned the pass.

Take a step outside the three-point line in the frontcourt, pick up the bow and set the arrow!

The best way to end this fast break is a dunk or a layup. Choosing a three-point shot can save time, but there is a risk of missing the shot.

Swish!
Gao Fei was still running forward after the shot, got the rebounded basketball, touched the bottom line, turned around and hit another basket.

Since Kobe had just passed halftime, the first time he made the shot, he ran back and was already close to the basket.

Kobe pointed up with his right hand, asking for an air catch.

Gao Fei is still in the backcourt, passing the ball from a long distance with just the right strength.

Kobe took the ball with his right hand and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!
Gao Fei sprints at full speed, touches the bottom line, and starts the next round of attack.

Kobe made a pass back again, Gao Fei hit the free throw line and made a cool jump shot!

The posture is standard and the arc is perfect!
Swish!
Odom put his left hand on Vujacic's shoulder and asked, "Sasha, do you think Goofy looks like Kobe?"

Vujacic took a closer look and found that Goofy's complexion was at least [-]% similar to Kobe's.The difference is that Gao Fei has bigger hands and is more stable when holding the ball.

"This kid is very talented." Vujacic expressed his opinion.

Phil Jackson saw the shadows of Jordan and Kobe in Gao Fei, and just after 5 minutes, he blew the whistle for the end of the assessment.

Kobe and Gao Fei clapped their hands and said "Good job", but Gao Fei didn't understand.

Phil Jackson took over the statistics table and saw that the data of the two sides was 52-66, and Gao Fei still won by a big score.

Holding the stat sheet in his right hand, he applauded the players to come.

Smush Parker is not an idiot. He can't beat Goofy in singles, and he can't match in dribbling speed, bounce, passing accuracy, shooting ability, etc. He naturally understands the result.

The rivalry in the NBA is straightforward and has always been.Every year, young talents join the league. If they can't withstand the impact, they will become the front wave of elimination.

Totally fair, but also brutal enough.

Phil Jackson gave the players 10 minutes to rest.

Gao Fei sat on the sidelines, took a sip of his drink, and wiped off his sweat with a towel.

Kobe and Gao Fei partnered for 5 minutes, and he could feel the uniqueness of his passing. He walked over and sat next to him, and actively communicated with him.

A translator provides assistance to allow the two to communicate smoothly.

"I have a question, and I want to know your answer." Kobe decided to ask what he had been thinking about for the past few days first.

"Excuse me." Gao Fei is a rookie and knows how to respect his seniors.

Kobe got his wish last season and became the boss of the team. He didn't make the playoffs and was booed by fans in the away game.After going through the trough, you can better understand the difficulties of leaders.But even so, his spirit is still not lost.

"In the final of the Asian Championships, if Jonas chooses to keep you on the court, would you still dare to make a move?" Kobe wanted to know Gao Fei's answer.

"Yes." Gao Fei didn't explain.He knew that Kobe would understand and could answer with one word.

Bryant admired Goofy's confidence, then asked another question: "What's your goal?"

"Victory." Gao Fei spoke very little, and chose the words that best represented his goal.

Kobe patted Gao Fei on the shoulder and said to the translator, "Tell him that you can speak up if you have any difficulties."

The interpreter acted as a microphone, conveying Kobe's meaning to Goofy.

Goofy did ask Bryant for help with something, asking, "Can I go to practice with you?"

"Why? No one wanted to train with me before." Bryant's training intensity was very high, one of the hardest training players in the league.

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I don't have the money to hire a personal trainer, so I can train with you, and I can take private training sessions."

Kobe laughed after hearing Gao Fei's reasoning from the translator: "Gao, you have to send me part of the money when you receive your salary." This was just a joke.As one of the top stars in the NBA, he has no shortage of money.

"Yes." Gao Fei is not someone who pursues money excessively, and his idea is to spend enough, so he readily agreed.

Seeing that Gao Fei's answer was very formal, Kobe felt that he was very interesting, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this little money, as long as you perform well on the field, everything is not a problem."

Gao Fei solved the training problem and was very happy. The whole team worked harder than everyone else in the training.A training session, directly recognized by teammates.

After training, the players took a shower and went home to rest.

Gao Fei found time to get an American calling card and tried to call the number Kobe left behind.

The two couldn't speak the language, and after a minute of hello, Kobe finally came up with a solution.He chose to send a text message and asked Gao Fei to look up the answer from the English book.

Gao Fei put the phone on the left, opened the English book, and tried to translate the content of the text message.

"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, the Lakers Toyota Training Center, I will train with you."

Gao Fei replied the text message on his mobile phone.He had lunch at the arena, had nothing to do, and started to learn English.

Although there are translators to help, it is not a long-term solution after all, and smooth communication is still necessary.

Time passed quickly in serious study, and before I knew it, the evening breeze was blowing.The sound of reciting words floating out of the window and the light of the desk lamp witness the growth of a young man.
