my golden age

Chapter 107
When Gao Fei was playing the guitar to relax, the phone on the coffee table rang.

He moved over, picked up his cell phone, and found that it was Zen Master who called him.

"Gao, are you free?" Zen master said, "I have reserved a restaurant in Beverly Hills, please come."

Gao Fei agreed to come down, put on his coat, and took a taxi to the restaurant that had been agreed in advance.

"Please sit down." The Zen Master ordered two glasses of white water in advance and asked Gao Fei to sit opposite.

"Why did you think of inviting me to dinner?" Gao Fei has full respect for the coach who can give him freedom.

The Zen master was not in a hurry to talk, and called the waiter over: "Gao, you can order whatever you want, and I will pay for it."

Gao Fei was not polite at all, ordered a lot of dishes, and then handed the menu to the Zen master.

"That's all." Zen master handed the menu back to the waiter.

After the waiter left, there was a moment of silence.

"Phil, if you come to me, it must be more than just inviting me to dinner."

"You should know," Zen Master knew that Gao Fei was a smart person, and he didn't beat around the bush. "Recently, the team's lineup is not deep enough, and there is something wrong with the rotation of the inside."

"I know." Gao Fei replied calmly.

"First of all, I have never said it before, but I think you are the strongest player." Zen master didn't know whether Gao Fei valued this point, so he comforted him with kind words, "Even if Michael is in the same lineup as you, you are the best player." You may not lose."

"Phil, you put a high hat on me, do you want me to be a substitute?" Gao Fei knew that flattery is not necessarily a good thing, and asked his guess.

"Of course not." A smile appeared on Zen Master's face, "Starting is the most basic respect for the strong, but I will let you and Kobe stagger the playing time."

"I knew it was nothing good," Gao Fei said with a smile, "or I ordered so many dishes in one go."

"You have no opinion?"

"It's not that I've reduced my playing time, I haven't lost the starting lineup, and I still have absolute control. Why do I have any objections?" Gao Fei was in a good mood.

"As compensation, you will be the first point of attack at critical moments." Zen master is the head coach, so he still has to try to balance the treatment of the double stars.

"No problem." Gao Fei saw the waiter coming with the food, picked up the knife and fork, and asked, "Phil, do you want some steak?"

"I have bad teeth, so I am more suitable for eating soft rice."

Gao Fei responded with a smile and started the feast.

Zen Master looked at Gao Fei and said, "I said you are the strongest player, not a compliment. But this is the United States, you may not be able to get the preferential treatment like Michael."

Gao Fei chewed on the steak and waved his hand: "Phil, don't say these things that have nothing to do with basketball. I play for a living and earn a high salary. There is nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if you don't have MVP or FMVP, as long as you can play." .”

"Your mentality is really strong."

"It can't be luck to save the team so many times..." Gao Fei's cell phone rang, interrupting his words.

Dayao called and wanted to get together with Gao Fei before the playoffs.

"It's okay, you can go. You can confuse Yao before the fight." Phil Jackson paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Goofy took the packed food, first went back to the apartment, and then turned back to Beverly Hills.

This time it's Gao Fei's turn to be the host, entertaining Dayao who also came to the West to work hard.

"After this meal, we're going to have a bayonet fight." Dayao has made it to the playoffs and knows that the intensity of confrontation will increase a lot. As the big brother, it is inevitable to remind Gao Fei.

"I'm mentally prepared." Gao Fei is good at defense and is used to high-intensity confrontation. Even if it reaches the intensity of the playoffs, there will be no major problems.

"One thing to say in advance, don't worry about feelings, and fight with all your strength. This is the greatest degree of respect that players can achieve."

Goofy nodded.

The two did not talk about basketball, but about their future life in the United States.Culture, eating habits and all kinds of differences are all things to talk about.

In the dead of night, Gao Fei took a taxi back to the apartment.

"Ding dong!" The system's voice sounded in my mind.

Gao Fei sat on the sofa, focused his energy on his mental body, and asked, "What do you mean by 'what sacrifices are you willing to make for the world champion' you told me last time?"

He is a domestic player, and of course he values ​​the World Championships and the Olympics more than the championship.

"Usually, when you gain something, you also lose something else." The system avatar turned into an old man with a white beard this time, sitting opposite Gao Fei, "If I have a gift from the devil, the reward is the world Champion, what price are you willing to pay for this?"

"For example?" Gao Fei wasn't sure what the system avatar was referring to.

"Love." The system avatar gave an example.

"You mean," Gao Fei's heart sank suddenly, feeling a sense of emptiness suddenly felt in a big dream, and he asked, "You mean..."

"If you are willing to give up, I can give you the gift of the devil."

Goofy was silent.He never thought it would be such a condition. Both sides are too important, and he doesn't know which side to choose.

The system avatar observed Gao Fei's reaction, saw his brows were tightly frowned, and said with a smile: "I'm kidding you, there is no gift from the devil at all."

Gao Fei secretly heaved a sigh of relief without having to make difficult choices.

"Gao Fei, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't believe anyone in this world who denies you, even if it's me." The system's senility makes the words very convincing.

Goofy remained silent, listening to the words of the system avatar.

"I am your partner, and I know your strength very well. In this world, no basketball player is stronger than you, whether it is mentality or skill." The system avatar continued, "You want a championship, you want a world champion , just let go and fight hard, there is every chance.”

"Can I do it?"

"You are already 21 years old, do you know what is going on with Huo Qubing at this age? He has already been sealed off as a wolf." The system avatar said, "Champions are won through hard work. If others can get it, you can get it too."

"I'm only 21 years old, maybe I can wait."

"No, you are already 21 years old." The system avatar corrected Gao Fei's words.

"Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard."

"Although you may not believe it, after this period of growth, you are already the strongest player."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because during the rest period, I doubled your training and game benefits. That is to say, your two months are equivalent to four months for ordinary players."

"That's not too long."

"You can test it in a real game, and you will know that what I said is true." After the system avatar finished speaking, it turned into a little golden light, and then disappeared.

Goofy's field of vision returned to reality from the system space, looked at the TV that was not turned on, and fell into deep thought.
