my golden age

Chapter 84 Christmas Presents
It was Christmas, and Mrs. Swift prepared a sumptuous lunch.

The Christmas tree by the window is covered with small lanterns and colorful ribbons, which looks very beautiful.Goofy sat at the table just in time to admire it.

"Which team is your opponent tonight?" Mr. Swift asked Gao Fei while holding a glass of red wine.

"Cleveland Cavaliers."

"Wait a minute. I remember they had LeBron on the team, right?" Mr. Swift wasn't sure.After all, except for the locals in Kecheng, people rarely pay attention to the Cavaliers.

"Yes. LeBron James is the forward for the Cavaliers."

"Which of you two is stronger?"

"Me." Gao Fei replied calmly.

"I like this answer." Mr. Swift felt that Gao Fei was very confident. "Before you came, the Lakers couldn't make the playoffs, and now they are firmly ranked first in the league."

"It's a team effort, basketball is a team sport."

"You're still too modest." Mr. Swift patted Goofy's shoulder, which felt like armor, "Wow, what a nice figure."

"Thank you." Gao Fei is one of the strongest perimeter players in active service, and his body is naturally not bad.

After lunch, Goofy gave the Swift family a gift prepared in advance.

He also received a gift.

"You can take it apart and guess who gave it to you," Mr Swift said.

Gao Fei brought the gift box in front of him, and opened the first rectangular box first.There is a photo album inside, and the cover is a picture of him buckling O'Neill.

"This is from Mr. Swift." Goofy said his guess.

"correct."

Gao Fei opened another huge gift box, saw the guitar inside, and immediately guessed that it was the gift giver.

"It's a Fender electric guitar. It's different from your usual acoustic guitar. Give it a try," Taylor said with a smile.

"Thank you." Gao Fei opened it and took a look, liked it very much, and put it away properly.

Mrs. Swift's gift was an exquisite hourglass.

Taylor's brother Austin is still very young, just the age to receive gifts.

Goofy finished unpacking the presents, carried the backpack containing the Christmas presents, went downstairs with Taylor and Austin, and took a taxi to the Staples Center.

Equipment manager Wright has not yet arrived at the arena.

Gao Fei put the bag containing the Christmas presents in front of the locker, took out the gift boxes with the names of his teammates, and put them in their lockers respectively.After doing this, he came to the stadium with only a few people.

Taylor sat courtside with brother Austin, watching Goofy practice.

Austin's height is close to 190cm, which is about the same as Gao Fei, but he is not good at basketball.He likes acting and wants to enter the show business circle.

"Brother, come to play on the court and experience the fun of being a football star." Gao Fei felt that Austin was a little too quiet, so he walked to the sidelines and stretched out his right hand, pulling him up from his seat.

Austin took the ball Goofy gave him.

"Close your eyes now." Gao Fei said to Austin, "Imagine there are [-] spectators. I'm going to help you introduce yourself."

Austin closed his eyes, basketball in hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now let's welcome the 6-foot-6-inch star player from Nashville—No.1, Austin Swift!" Gao Fei imitated the voice of the home DJ to introduce Austin.

Austin seemed to really hear the shouts of [-] spectators.

"Now that the Lakers are behind by two points, you have a chance to make a lore and throw the ball! Bring the team back to victory!" Goofy continued.

Austin threw the ball, hit the basket, and missed.

"Oh! It's a pity that the Lakers worked hard for the whole game and had to swallow the bitter fruit of failure."

Taylor thought it was interesting, walked into the court and said, "Gao, you try to introduce me. I like number 13."

"Okay." Gao Fei picked up the basketball that was still bouncing, came to the top of the arc, and handed it to Taylor.

Tyler closed his eyes.

"Let's welcome the guard from Nashville, 6-foot-No. 13, Taylor Swift!" Goofy raised his voice deliberately, making the introduction more imposing.

"Is this how you are usually introduced?" Taylor opened his eyes, excited.

"There are also [-] fans cheering or booing. With the introduction, the scene sounds more exciting." Gao Fei said, "When the opposing center is dunked or counter-slammed, the cheers will be even louder."

"I also want to dunk." Taylor knew that Gao Fei was called the number one dunker in actual combat by the media, and he also wanted to experience that feeling.

"You stand under the basket." Gao Fei hugged Taylor's waist like a child, and lifted her to the basket.

Taylor put the ball in with both hands and felt the joy of a dunk.

Goofy put Taylor down, took back the ball that bounced off the baseline, and asked, "Would you like to watch my dunk up close?"

"Okay." Taylor pulled his brother over and stood near the basket.

Goofy ran on the right side with amazing speed, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed the tomahawk!

The basket made a short and dull sound, accompanied by the shaking of the backboard, perfectly showing the strength and explosiveness of the high-flying dunk.

Kobe walked into the court, just in time to see the three people under the basket, and said hello, "Gao, are you dating on the court?"

"Yes." Gao Fei picked up the ball and asked, "Did you see the gift I gave you?"

"I see, it's not bad. It would be better if it was a woman's."

Gao Fei gave Kobe a LV men's briefcase.

Taylor whispered: "Let's go back to the sidelines." After speaking, he and his brother went back to the sidelines.

Kobe took a basketball, dribbled over and asked, "Tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Are you ready?"

"Since the Spurs game, I've been ready for every game." Gao Fei was confident.This is not out of character, but strength.

"LeBron has shooting ability, but he is not decisive enough." Kobe and James have played against James for four games, and he knows the characteristics of this little brother. Will choose the restricted area to end."

"Kobe, do you know how Bill Russell guards against Wilt Chamberlain?"

"Why, you know?" Kobe was slightly puzzled.

Gao Fei said with a smile: "I heard a story. Bill let Wilt let go of the swing in the first three quarters, and increased the intensity in the fourth quarter to block Wilt's declining physical fitness."

"Are you going to do the same?" Kobe's defensive strength is not as good as Gao Fei's, so he can only offer advice, and Gao Fei has the final say on how to defend.

"Tonight is Christmas Eve, there's no need to make it look like the playoffs." Goofy spun the ball with his right hand and said, "And as long as you lock up LeBron's teammates, they won't make it to the fourth quarter."

"Are you so confident?"

"Tonight is Christmas Eve, and my girlfriend is on the sidelines again. I'm making a point, so it's not too much." Gao Fei said with a smile.

"Not too much." Kobe threw the ball in his hand and hit it hollow.The intensity of the defense he has faced recently has plummeted, his efficiency has improved, and he feels more calm than before.
