my golden age

Chapter 88
"The team is stuck in a quagmire, and only stars can open up the situation. There are only two roads before the Cavaliers, try their best, or throw away their armor." Kenny Smith said unceremoniously about the situation of the Cavaliers.

James gave up the idea of ​​​​breaking Goofy's defense and continued to play pick-and-roll, single-handedly hitting the Lakers' weakest point.Although it's a bit shabby, scoring is more important when playing basketball.

Gao Fei knew it was the Christmas game, and he only met the Cavaliers twice in a single season, so there was no need to make things so extreme.His defense is a master class, it is impossible to always teach, he reduces the defensive intensity, and strives to connect the whole team.

Kobe dropped the post and caught the ball in a post-up.

James didn't have to face Gao Fei's suffocating defense, and he was calmer than before, trying to deal with Kobe's offense.

Kobe tried with his right foot, turned around smoothly, and made a silky jumper!

scored!

46-35!

16 seconds left in the second quarter!
James pressed time to advance to the frontcourt, facing Gao Fei's defense, still waiting for cover.

Big Z and Drew Gooden doubled up to block Goofy and let James choose the player to play singles.

Odom was called and came to James.

With time running out, James could only throw the basketball.

Three point hit!

This goal allowed the Cavaliers to regain their confidence.

46-38!

Gao Fei didn't go directly back to the locker room, but walked to the sidelines.

"Why don't you keep guarding LeBron?" Taylor asked.

Anne Hathaway and her boyfriend looked up at Goofy, curious about his answer.

"Christmas should also be on the court. Today is a holiday, and the Cavaliers can't play in the East, so they can't be regarded as opponents. The first thing is to have fun." Gao Fei has played professionally for a year and knows that the playoffs are more important.It's okay to play occasionally in the regular season.

"Since it's a holiday, I should leave work early." Anne Hathaway said with a smile.

Gao Fei shrugged and said, "Maybe you can try." He looked at the time and said, "I have to go back to the locker room and enjoy the halftime performance. See you in the second half."

Taylor waved him goodbye.

Goofy walks through the tunnel to the joyful locker room—teammates are telling about Christmas.

"Remember what I told you some time ago?" Odom excitedly shared a happy event.

"You hooked up with a woman from the Kardashian family?" Kobe vaguely remembered Odom saying this.

Gao Fei didn't understand very well and asked, "What happened to the Kardashian family?"

"Her family is relatively well-known, and there are several sisters." Odom said, "The Kohler people are not bad."

Goofy never meddles in the private affairs of his teammates, and he really doesn't know what the Kardashian family is.

"As long as you like it, go after it." Kobe said with a smile, "Gao is an example, try bravely, and there will always be good results."

Gao Fei saw the staff coming in, stood up, and said: "These topics can be left on the flight to the away game, we have to go back to the stadium. If possible, try to get off work in three quarters."

"It's not easy, but you can try hard." Kobe responded with a smile.

The Cavaliers did not give up in the third quarter, biting the score tightly.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Kobe entered the Zone!

Whether it's turning over and leaning back, or a strong shot from outside the three-point line, or a long-range two-pointer, it's like adding a sight and falling into the basket one after another.

"If I remember correctly, this is Kobe's sixth consecutive hit." Kenny Smith looked at Kobe who retreated, feeling incredible.

"If the Cavaliers can't respond to this kind of attack, they may be defeated."

James originally thought that he would prove the team's strength in the game against the league's No. [-] team, but things backfired, and he felt a little disappointed.He has no choice but to focus on his individual offense.

"LeBron is here! Facing Luke Walton's defense, force a breakthrough! Got it! And one!" Kenny Smith didn't expect James to attack decisively.

Gao Fei saw that James wanted to lead the team to recover the point difference and return to the game state-just now he thought he was going to clock out of get off work.

"Don't worry, I'm feeling hot." Kobe saw that Gao Fei had a strong intention to get off work, and said with a smile.

"You'd better shoot four three-pointers in a row, increase your strength, and blow the game straight away."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"really?"

"No, I'm just joking. But you can try, after all, I feel hot."

"The ball will be in your hands, I'm going to hang up."

"You're so inconsistent. Start off like you're going to eat LeBron on both ends of the floor, and it's going to be lazy again."

"It's called balance. I'm the commander. I play only when the team can't start the game." Gao Fei found an excuse for being lazy.

James made an extra penalty!
85-77!

Goofy advanced with the ball, knowing where Kobe would be.This is a tacit understanding cultivated through long-term joint training within the team, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

The Cavaliers' defense was changed by Gao Fei's rapid breakthrough, and they all shrank, trapping Gao Fei in it.

The basketball flew over the defense and into Kobe's hands at the top of the arc.

Kobe didn't know how many times he practiced shooting, collecting the ball, taking off, shooting, and hitting!
88-77!

James still didn't give up, held the ball and broke through, and used the great method of walking.

The referee did not violate the rules by default and watched him layup.

"Wow!" Gao Fei is a person with extremely solid basic skills, no matter his offensive steps or breakthrough skills, he is very clean.It was an eye-opener to see this kind of attack.

More importantly, Kwame Brown interfered with James, causing the latter to miss a layup.

Odom protected the defensive rebound.

Kobe receives the pass, takes two steps beyond the three-point line, and shoots!

Swish!
91-77!

"The Lakers are so relaxed. You can feel the festive atmosphere from them."

Goofy wanted to close the game, went around the screen, chased from behind, and stole the pass from James to Larry Hughes.

Kobe was positioned in the frontcourt, and the three-pointer ended the offensive and defensive transition!

He is on fire!

94-77!

The lights outside the Staples Center are bright, but not nearly as bright as Kobe's tonight.He hit two more three-pointers, completely killing the suspense of the game.

James sat on the sidelines, recalling the game in his mind to see what could be improved.

The Lakers are number one in the league and have only lost three games so far.Even if they lose to them, it doesn't mean that there is a problem with their strength.

"Wow, I got 50 points. I really didn't notice." Kobe went back to the locker room, picked up the technical statistics, and found that he had scored 50+ points.

"What are my statistics?" Gao Fei didn't look at the technical statistics.

“你是18分7篮板13助攻。勒布朗是35分7篮板8助攻。”

"Did he score 35 points? I don't think he scored that many points."

"Do you know why?" Phil Jackson folded the tactical strip and put it back in the briefcase.

"Why?" Gao Fei was a little curious.

"The impressive way to score is to challenge your defense. He is almost mostly pick-and-roll evasion defenses to get points, so you are not impressed."

Gao Fei thought for a while, and felt that this sentence was quite reasonable.
