my golden age

Chapter 85 Defensive Matchup
Gao Fei walked out of the player tunnel and came to the entrance where the players entered the field.He saw the driver who had been waiting for a long time.

"God bless you! I thought I missed your entry!" The surrogate driver was so excited that he almost threw out the two Spalding basketballs he was holding.

Gao Fei took one of them, signed his name, and then the other, also signed his name.

"It's getting late, you go in and watch the game."

"Actually..."

"What?" Gao Fei felt that the substitute driver had something to say.

"I don't have a ticket at all. Tonight's game, the ticket price has gone crazy..."

"I still have four family tickets, and I will give them to you together. I wish you a merry Christmas." Gao Fei insisted on being a good person to the end.

The substitute driver's eyes widened, his mouth was rounded, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Gao Fei took out the four family tickets, gave them to the substitute driver, and then returned to the locker room.

"Gao, the gift you gave seems to be very expensive. It's really rare and generous." Odom received a gold watch and couldn't believe it came from Gao Fei.

"Today is different." Gao Fei knew that there was not much time left before the start of the game, so he went to the locker and changed his jersey and sneakers.

The live cheerleaders performed to mobilize the atmosphere of the audience.

"Hello, Anne. I'm Taylor Swift, and this is my brother Austin." Taylor Swift sat beside Anne Hathaway and introduced herself.

"You are Gao Fei's girlfriend. How is he, how is he?" Anne Hathaway has seen Gao Fei's collection, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, handsome and unrestrained.This style of play is very pleasing.

"His life is relatively simple. Basketball and music probably occupy more than half of it." Taylor can talk to big stars and is more active than usual.

Away team locker room!
James is the head star of this Cavaliers team, sitting next to Larry Hughes, a player the team dug from the Wizards.

Hughes (196CM) once averaged 22 points per game in the season, won the steals title last season, and was selected to the defensive team of the season.After coming to the Cavaliers, he has not yet found a balance with James.

"Larry, are you going to be more defensive or Kobe?" Cavaliers starting point guard Eric Snow (191CM, once selected to the defensive second team) asked Larry Hughes.

"It's like two glasses of poison, which one should be drunk." Larry Hughes watched the Lakers game video and was frightened by the strength of the perimeter defense.He had a dream last night, and he dreamed about the contents of the game video.

"Which cup are you going to drink?" Snow could only continue to ask.

"I think Gao will face LeBron on the defensive end. On the offensive end, I may be the one to defend." Hughes knows that Gao Fei is an extremely tough player, and he will definitely guard against the most threatening opponent.As for the defensive end, James basically doesn't match up with arrows.

Gao Fei is not only good on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.All kinds of brutal dunks seem to tear the opponent apart.

None of them had been in contact with Gao Fei off the court, and they subconsciously thought he was a cruel person, and they hadn't started to face each other, so they were afraid of the three-pointer.

The Cavaliers hired new head coach Mike Brown in the summer.He is an Ohio native who is good at training defenses, but he has no idea when he meets one of the league's best defensive teams.

"Eric, your offensive task is light, and your defense is high." He handed over the high-flying task of defense to Eric Snow.

"Am I going to guard Kobe?" Larry Hughes asked.

"Otherwise, who can we guard against? Luke Wharton?" Mike Brown asked in a humorous tone.

"It should be me defending Kobe." Larry Hughes is very self-aware.

James is a native of Ohio, loved by Cleveland fans.Similar to the chosen son he advertised, the team management praised him in the sky.

This is normal.After all, a small place like Cleveland rarely has stars of this level.

James has the lightest task on the defensive end, facing Luke Walton.He has been the core of the team since he was a child, and he has a partner to help him with the dirty work, and he has not developed the habit of leading the defense.

"Did you hear that? The atmosphere at the scene seems to be quite good." Drew Gooden is a Cavaliers power forward. He wears a hair band on his bald head and a beard. He looks very sturdy.

His partner in the paint is Big Z Ilgauskas.The two have to face Kwame Brown and Odom, which is relatively easier.

Logically speaking, the triangle offense will have a central axis insider or forward, but Gao Fei has strong organizational skills and cannot be completely suppressed.

Since Zen Master had to deal with the relationship with Goofy, he cleverly gave up some rights to Goofy, so the Lakers' offensive tactics were not monotonous triangle offenses.This comes from Gao Fei's golf quotient and philosophy. To put it bluntly, he prefers to play tricks instead of rigidly following a certain tactic.

Jonas could not accept Gao Fei's unconscious challenge to authority, so after he was replaced in the final of the Asian Championships, he was not allowed to play again.This little conflict became the trigger for Jonas' dismissal on the eve of the team's assembly for the World Championships.

What Phil Jackson needs to control is the timing of substitutions and on-the-spot command, without worrying about tactics, and giving the prepared gifts to the players.

Gao Fei opened the gift box, took out a compass, and asked, "Phil, I'm not going to explore, why did I send you a compass?"

"You are the commander who guides the direction of the team. I think this gift is very suitable for you." Phil Jackson smiled. "By the way, I really like the Cuban cigars you gave me."

"Light a cigar after winning the championship, it will definitely be refreshing." Gao Fei said with a smile.

Luke Walton sat in front of the locker and said: "I didn't think that far. My father came to the game today and hoped to play a good performance."

"LeBron's defensive habits are not particularly good. Sometimes he will slacken on the court, especially when he feels that you have no offensive threat. If you run hard, I will pass the ball to you." Gao Fei said to Luke Walton.

Kobe reminded: "LeBron is very athletic, and sometimes he can block shots when he is out of position defensively. Pay more attention when finishing."

Gao Fei laughed and said, "Luke, if you are as good as your father, we don't have to care about LeBron at all, just abuse them."

Luke Walton said: "If I had my dad's level, I would have been the boss of a certain team. How could I help you here."

"Good idea." Gao Fei tightened his shoelaces and tried to take two steps, feeling very comfortable.

Knowing that Gao Fei didn't pay attention to sports news, Kobe asked, "Gao, do you know that the All-Star voting will start after the Christmas game?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Gao Fei wasn't worried about the All-Star spot at all.

"Do you think you will be the top voter?" Kobe didn't think about whether Gao Fei could be selected, but focused on whether he could be the top voter.

"Where is my jersey sales?" Jersey sales can reflect popularity to some extent.

"First."

"That's possible." Gao Fei didn't particularly care about being the number one voter, but he didn't have to resist the fact that high popularity would bring endorsements.
