my golden age

Chapter 96 Towards the New Year
On the last day of 2005, a heavy snow came.

"Gao, I'm going back to Nashville the day after tomorrow. Maybe we won't be able to see each other in the next few months." Taylor's album will be intensively produced in the new year, and Gao Fei still needs to participate in the same number of competitions. will be shortened.

"It's okay, longing is also a very beautiful thing in love." Gao Fei put his arms around Taylor's shoulders and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window, "I hope that in 2006, I will have better luck."

"Have you had bad luck this year?" Taylor said with a smile. "Signing Nike and Spalding, the All-Star voting is far ahead. I feel that there are few players who are more successful than you."

"Who knows? Maybe even luckier."

"What are your goals for the new year?" Taylor asked.

"I want to win the championship, but I am more eager to win the world championship."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to achieve. You have to beat the dream team and the top teams in the world. As far as I know, the Chinese team seems to be only strong in the top eight."

"Who knows? I will do my best. As for the result, I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

"I wish you luck."

As the clock struck zero, Goofy and Tyler greeted the new year with a kiss.

The snow outside the window kept falling and became a special scenery.

In the afternoon two days later, Gao Fei bid farewell to the Swift family.Continue to fly all over the United States and play games everywhere.

……

1 Month 24 Day!
Goofy sits in front of the TV, watching ESPN sports.

Steven Smith and Rachel Nichols host the show, and guests include Reggie Miller and Magic Johnson.They were set to discuss the 2006 Houston All-Star team.

"What are your expectations for this All-Star session?" Rachel Nichols raised the topic.

"Both Yao and Gao have been selected into the starting lineup, and their connection is worth looking forward to. In addition, Gao, Kobe and Tracy partnered to start the Western Conference, what kind of performance can they contribute." Magic Johnson did his homework before the show, knowing the fans Love seeing three talented guards play together.

Reggie Miller said: "The East's focus is on Shaquille, and he can play well."

"In addition to the main game, the slam dunk contest is also worth looking forward to. Gao Fei said that this will be the only time he will participate. Whether he can be crowned the slam dunk champion must be the focus of attention of many fans."

"Gao Fei seems to be the focus all the time. No matter where he goes, he is always surrounded by stars." Magic Johnson is a famous Lakers legend. He has been in contact with Gao Fei a lot, and I feel that he has an inexplicable attraction.

"He is handsome, and his style of play is both aesthetic and explosive. The help to the team and teammates is obvious. God, he does have many advantages." Reggie Miller said.

The director notified Rachel Nichols to first comment on the Eastern All-Star starting lineup.

"Let me say first, Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers center. The number of votes is higher than that of Dwight Howard." Rachel Nichols named the first starter in the East.

"Jermaine is very strong, but maybe not suitable for All-Stars." Reggie Miller said, "The atmosphere of All-Stars is more joyful, suitable for people who can play tricks and tricks."

"Another starting insider, without a doubt, is the best player in the All-Stars-Shaquille O'Neal."

"Where there's Shaquille, there's no shortage of joy."

"The starting lineup in the West is Yao Ming and Tim Duncan. Which combination do you think is stronger between them and the two O'Neals?" Rachel Nichols asked the three guests.

"I am optimistic about the West." Magic Johnson has spent his career in the West, so there is no reason to be optimistic.

Stephen Smith said: "If it is a regular game, I will be optimistic about the West. But here is the All-Star, or the East's inside combination is stronger."

Reggie Miller agrees with Steven Smith.

"After talking about the inside combination, it's time to talk about the three positions of small forward, shooting guard and point guard." Rachel Nichols began to talk about the most popular players, "The East is Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James."

"These three players have strong breakthroughs. The intensity in the first three quarters will not be great, and they should be able to get a lot of points. If the Eastern Conference can win, AMVP will be produced from them." Magic Johnson analyzed.

Stephen Smith said: "With the monster Gao in the West, it is difficult to win in the East."

Reggie Miller said: "Gao just has that kind of magic, no matter where he joins, you feel like they are going to win."

"Since we're talking about the West, we have to talk about Goofy, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady." Rachel Nichols said, "It's worth mentioning that Goofy is the number one voter for this year's All-Stars." .”

"It's not surprising at all," Magic Johnson said. "If you have the opportunity to go to Los Angeles, you know how popular Gao is."

"It's not just him, the outside line combination in the west is really both offensive and defensive. Relatively speaking, it is more balanced than the outside line in the east."

"I dare say there will be a certain amount of gunpowder between the two sides. Leaving aside the past of Kobe and Shaquille, let's talk about the confrontation between Yao Ming and Shaquille. It is worth looking forward to." Magic Johnson expressed his opinion.

"Yao didn't perform particularly well in the All-Star Game," Steven Smith said.

"That was in the past. Western defenders played in their own way. This year the ball must be in the hands of the master. He can give it to whoever he wants. Yao will get more opportunities than in previous sessions."

"No way, the strong control the game." Reggie Miller felt that this sentence made him a little uncomfortable, but he had to admit Gao Fei's strength, "No matter which team Gao Fei is in, he will be the one who handles the ball." people."

Rachel Nichols asked: "Which side do you think has a better chance of winning this year?"

Stephen Smith said: "If the East wants to win, they have to rely on Shaquille and Dwyane Wade. They are partners in the Heat and have a perfect understanding. But overall, I think they are not as good as the West."

Rachel Nichols asked: "Do you mean you think the West will win?"

"Correct."

Magic Johnson said: "I am also optimistic about the West. There is no other reason, high in the West."

Reggie Miller smiled: "Maybe I should also say that I am optimistic about the West, but this is a live broadcast, and there must be different opinions. I think the East can win."

"The reason?" Rachel Nichols continued to guide.

"Shaquille was a very dominant center at his peak, and the game still dominated the inside..." Reggie Miller began to analyze.

Magic Johnson didn't quite agree with this sentence, and asked: "What did Michael Jordan say? He established a dynasty belonging to the Bulls in an era when there were many elders."

"We're not talking about Black Jesus, we're talking about the All-Star Game."

"I just don't agree with what you said about patriarchal rule." Magic Johnson laughed, "You can continue to talk."

"All in all, the East has Shaquille's... advantage, and the inside will have the upper hand." Reggie Miller said that he felt guilty, but he still insisted on saying, "I think the East will win the game."

Goofy laughed off Reggie Miller's point and turned off the TV.
