my golden age

Chapter 91
The holy land of streetball is Locke Park. As for the holy land of basketball, it may belong to the Madison Square Garden Arena.

This is the home arena of several professional teams, the Knicks being one of them.No matter how bad the record is, this team is the leader in profitability and market value in the league.

James Dolan, who owns the Garden and the cable broadcasting company, has a "unique" idea of ​​the franchise.Anyway, you can make money anyway, why not relax a little.

Of course, Goofy can lead the Knicks to brilliant results, but relatively speaking, he prefers the Bass family and the Lakers, which treat basketball as an industry.At least they treat the players more sincerely.

New York fans learned the inside story of the draft. As a team that is close to getting Goofy, the fans here want to support him, not the Knicks with a poor record.

"You know? Madison Square Garden is different from other arenas. Playing here is incredible." Kobe only plays once a year at the Square Garden, and it feels great every time.

Gao Fei came to Madison Square Garden during the draft. The scene when he was selected in the Little Green Room is unforgettable for life.

"The Los Angeles Lakers selected Gao Fei from China's BJ with the [-]th pick in the first round." Gao Fei recalled the scene where David Stern pronounced his name, and his heart is still surging.

It is the first time to play in the Plaza Garden Arena as a player.He is not a native American player, and he doesn't know the status of this arena in the basketball world, but he came around and tried to understand.

"Madison Square Garden is a place where well-known singers in the United States and all over the world want to hold their own concerts. It is also very important for players. Michael Jordan will be in awe when he comes here to play away games." Kobe tried to explain.

Gao Fei looked at the large-scale arena. Although he didn't understand the special significance of this arena, he also knew one thing - the inside story of the draft was exposed, which made it necessary to win this game.

The head player of the Knicks is Stephen Marbury, who also belongs to the 96 golden generation.He was really dissatisfied with the Knicks fans' reaction to Dan Fegan's interview, and planned to teach Goofy a lesson.

After watching the video of the game, his thoughts changed.The first place in the Lakers League is by no means a vain name.

Kwame Brown knows how to move on defense; Odom no longer dribbles needlessly in the high post; Luke Walton's running route is much improved; Kobe has reduced blind isolation.All of this is the transformation brought about by the omnipotent young man on the screen.

"This guy's court control is too strong. No, this guy is a natural basketball player, no matter what, he's too fucking strong."

This kind of thinking not only failed to dampen Marbury's fighting spirit, but ignited a raging fire in his heart.How can an indomitable person be afraid of challenges?

ESPN got the right to comment on this high-profile focus battle, and sent Mike Breen and Mark Jackson to comment on the game live.

After Gao Fei waited for Taylor to check the ticket and enter the arena, he went through the player tunnel to the away locker room.

"Gao, tonight you will meet Stephon Marbury, who is very explosive in the first step. He is very powerful, you have to be careful." defensive opponent.

Gao Fei put on his away jersey, put on his wristband and warm-up pants, and replied, "Marbury is indeed very strong. It's not easy to limit the defense alone. Be prepared inside."

"Understood!" Odom and Kwame Brown replied almost in unison.

When practicing defensive tactics in the team, as long as they run to the wrong position or the defense is not in place, Gao Fei will point it out unceremoniously.

Goofy is recognized as a popular candidate for the best defensive player, and his guidance on the defensive end is convincing. Odom and Kwame Brown subtly corrected many bad habits in defense.

The Lakers' submission to Goofy is almost worshipful, rather than forced to submit.

Gao Fei's leadership style is different from Kobe's. It's not high-pressure supervision, but he will tell his teammates how to correct their shortcomings and become better.This is the value of a good point guard. It is not comparable to a nominal point guard who can only shoot a few open shots when passing the ball in half court.

"Gao, how do you plan to deal with the turmoil about the draft?" Luke Wharton followed the news and knew that Gao Fei's operations during the draft were sparking heated discussions.

"Play well, and everything will disappear." Gao Fei knew how to break through doubts and shackles from beginning to end. "Luke, although I have never said it, I think you pay too much attention to outside voices, which is not good."

"Really?" Luke Walton knew that Gao Fei was a thoughtful player and was willing to listen to his advice.

"The voices from the outside world are very chaotic. Valuable information is covered up by more useless information. It is not easy to find out. It is better to save time and do something valuable."

"E.g……"

Gao Fei knew that Luke Walton was a player with a high IQ, and said: "You can watch more game videos and increase your tactical reserves as much as possible. This will help you better understand the opponent's defense and find better running routes."

"Do you find this helpful?"

"Basketball is a team sport, and no one can achieve success alone. The value of tactics is to enable the team to maximize its combat effectiveness. The higher the ability to integrate tactics, the more adaptable and calm you will be. You have an extraordinary mind, It's a gift from God, to make use of it."

"You are incredible." Luke Wharton couldn't help but admire.

Gao Fei ignored the compliment and continued: "It's true that I'm talented, but I also need to know how to use my talent to get to this position. The NBA's talented players are like crucian carp in a river, and those who can really stand at the top of the league There are very few."

"If you were my physical talent, how would you play?"

"I can organize series and hit those open shots, but not in this league." Gao Fei knew that without physical talent, domestic guards would not be able to enter the NBA.

"I missed that period, try not to hold back." After talking with Gao Fei, Luke Walton knew how to improve.

"Luke, I'll give you another suggestion." Gao Fei said, "We had theater troupes in ancient times, but all famous actors were not taught by their masters, but they made their way through stealth and hard work."

"What do you mean?" Luke Wharton didn't understand.

"The master will definitely teach the students, but that time is far from enough. How much effort you are willing to put in actually determines where you can go."

"Are you saying that you want to increase the time for individual training in addition to team training?"

"Of course." Gao Fei said, "If you want to improve your game skills, you can't just rely on your words. Another question, do you know that Kobe and I are the players with the most intensive training in the league?"

Of course Luke Wharton knew this sort of thing.He has a high IQ and quickly understood what Gao Fei meant.

The stupid bird not only has to fly early, but also to fly more.Only in this way is it possible to go beyond the limit.

As for those who are blessed by the heavens and are willing to spend more time polishing their skills than others, the result is that they are the best in the league.
