my golden age

Chapter 110 Doing Nothing
Turiaf is a young player with mediocre talent and short stature among interior players.All you have is passion and a heart to prove yourself.

"Keep calm." Gao Fei walked over and told Turiaf, "Don't think about other things, focus on free throws."

Kobe and Goofy have two styles. The former likes Jordan's high-pressure way of urging his teammates, while the latter is more patient and relatively peaceful.

Turiaf, who had never played in the NBA playoffs, took deep breaths and tried to forget where he was.Even so, it still affects the mentality.

Not everyone has a big heart. Facing high pressure, it is not uncommon for them to malfunction.

Turiaf missed both free throws!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment.

"Don't be discouraged, keep fighting!" Gao Fei firmly believes that as long as he fights recklessly, even role players can shine.This is the philosophy of team basketball, maximizing the power of the lineup.

Gao Fei is not only a Lakers guard, but also a national team guard.How to make a seemingly innocuous lineup strong is a question he has always explored.

Individual ability is not as good as the opponent, so we have to rely on the whole to fight.

Mutombo, commonly known as Uncle Mu, is good at defense and good at blocking shots.The offensive threat is not great, giving Turiaf a chance to breathe.

The Rockets' bench lineup was dominated by Alston, lacking offensive capabilities, and the Lakers, who were defended like a brave man, caused a 24-second offensive violation.

Jeff Van Gundy called Dayao, who had been resting for a long time, and asked him to replace Mutombo.

Gao Fei took the ball forward and noticed this.He was not surprised, nor did he react much.

The confidence of the players needs to be cultivated, even if it may cost them, they must be patient.

Brian Cook ran away from the Rockets' dunk Swift, got a wonderful pass, and missed a backhand layup!
Cook yanked Swift for a rebound, not only missing an open shot, but also paying for a foul.

"Please, Gao is attacking with the ball! He is such a strong person, why doesn't he attack by himself?" "These players have almost never played. How can you trust them in such an important playoff game?"

Gao Fei became a "fool", even though many people doubted him, he still believed in his teammates.

After Dayao came on the court, he chose to use his personal offense to drive and scored consecutively, further expanding the point difference.

Kobe couldn't understand Gao Fei's approach and returned to the court with 7 minutes left in the second quarter.His philosophy is to lead the team by scoring, force the offense, and lead the team forward.

Gao Fei defended McGrady and took the opportunity to narrow the point difference.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed the Rockets by 42 points with a score of 50-8.

"Gao, why don't you attack by yourself? The second team doesn't need to organize, just hit the damn ball in." Kobe didn't quite understand Gao Fei's approach.

Phil Jackson sat beside him, listening to Gao Fei's answer.

"No one is born running. This is the first time for many players to play in the playoffs. It is normal for them to have stage fright. If you continue to hone your skills, you will always be able to adapt to the game."

"When they adapt, the playoffs will be cold."

"They can't get used to it, it's really cold."

Bryant still couldn't understand Goofy's strange thoughts, but let it go.He would like to see what kind of change can be made.

Gao Fei is not a player who is afraid of taking responsibility, and still believes in his teammates.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Goofy and Kobe partnered in the backcourt.

Yu Jia said: "In this way, Gao Fei's playing time will be cut into pieces. If he is an unstable player, he will be easily affected by this way of playing."

Director Zhang said: "Gao Fei's stats in this game may not be very good. He has to lead the second team, encounters more double-team defenses, intends to pass out, and his teammates can't grasp the opportunity."

"In fact, he should attack by himself. The sixth man in the NBA is usually a strong offensive and defensive type."

"Gao Fei is not the sixth man."

The domestic media will position the general team as the head or the second head, but will not position the Rockets and Lakers.No matter what the actual situation is, Dayao and Gao Fei will not be regarded as second masters.

The American media is just the opposite. No matter what their tactical status is, Dayao and Gao Fei are hard to regard them as masters.

Five minutes into the third quarter, Gao Fei took a break as usual.

He didn't sit at the end of the bench this time, but sat in the middle of the bench.

"Sasha, do you believe in yourself?" Gao Fei asked Vujacic beside him.

Vujacic hesitated and said, "I believe."

"Be firm!" Gao Fei looked at the court and said, "You should do your own thing like David Wesley and Alston. This league will not give room to show weakness, you must have a strong heart."

The substitute players looked at Gao Fei and understood that what they said was true.

There are 60 players who join the league through the draft every year, but there are only 30 spots in total for the 450 teams.Excluding stars and core players, most people can only compete for a few opportunities.

This is the top professional basketball league, it is so cruel.

"Do you want to play hard, or leave the league one day? The choice shouldn't be difficult." Gao Fei ended the conversation.He trusts his teammates on the second unit to understand what he means.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers' second team returned to the court.

They have confidence on their faces, which can also be said to be decisive.

Dayao stood in the penalty area, not knowing what kind of magic Zen master cast on these players.

Vujacic received a high-flying pass from outside the three-point line, without hesitation or hesitation, and with firm belief, he threw the ball in his hand.

"My defense is poor, and I can't change my positive attitude. There is not much I can do on the offensive end, and open opportunities must not be wasted!" Vujacic looked at the spinning basketball, hoping it would go in.

Swish!
This is a goal condensed into countless days of early training and countless sweats.

The fans cheered and gave it to Vujacic who scored a three-pointer.

Turiaf knew that he couldn't defend against Dayao's post-up singles, so he chose to go forward and try to cut off the Rockets' internal and external connections, thus limiting the league's top center.

Whether it is the audience on the sidelines or the players sitting on the bench, they can see the hard work from the movements and demeanor of the second team players.

They are not the most talented players on the basketball court, nor are they players with strong personal abilities, but driven by Gao Fei, they seem to be the most daring players.Because they know that there is someone with a strong heart behind them supporting them.

The Rockets' offensive and defensive rhythm was disrupted by tough physical confrontation, and it was difficult to pass the ball to Yao in the low post. Instead, the Lakers played the rhythm of chasing points.

During this period, Gao Fei hardly played singles with the ball.

Jeff Van Gundy's rhythm was disrupted and he had to call a timeout to arrange a countermeasure.

Gao Fei gathered the second team together and said: "The narrowing of the point difference is the proof of your ability. On this court, no one can be ignored! As long as you are determined enough, you can make a name for yourself!"

"This is your credit." Vujacic said.

"No, I didn't do anything. You are the ones who narrowed the gap." Gao Fei responded calmly.
