Chapter 141 Outbreak Prelude
Gao Fei scored a layup and pushed the Rockets on the edge of the cliff to the abyss again.
70-52!
The point difference went straight to 20 points.
There were more disappointed fans in the Toyota Center, and the already lackluster home atmosphere became even more desperate.
"The fans here are really bad." Gao Fei has experienced the away nightmare at the North Shore Garden Arena, and knows how a warm home atmosphere can help the team.
Dayao was also a little flustered, not completely stuck in his position, and was interfered by Chris Mim when receiving the pass, so he couldn't hold the basketball firmly.
Odom played exceptionally well throughout the game, picked up the rebound and handed it over to Goofy.
The Lakers admire Gao Fei, the "coach on the field", and this feeling is even more obvious in the playoffs.
Phil Jackson sits on a top organization master, sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the progress of the game.
Most of the Rockets' players were affected by the lagging point difference and the pressure of elimination, their minds fell into a sluggish state, and their defensive formation was somewhat chaotic.
Gao Fei saw the loophole at a glance, launched an indomitable breakthrough, and once again stood against Dayao, trying to hit the basket!
Dayao couldn't prevent the breakthrough, so he could only make a foul.
Gao Fei threw the ball to the basket and almost scored 2+1!
Dayao accumulated four fouls, far ahead of the number of quarters.But the team is in jeopardy, and he doesn't want to go back to the bench too soon.
Goofy's free throws are as steady as a dog and hit easily!
72-52!
Gao Fei completed the free throw, quickly retreated to the backcourt, looked at the auditoriums on both sides, and found that most of them were empty.
The 20-point difference is like a sword hanging in the hearts of the Rockets, as if the suspense of the game will be harvested at any time.
McGrady looked at the scoreboard, his mind went blank, driven by his physical instinct, he wanted to lead the team by scoring.
Gao Fei is like a psychological master, who has an insight into McGrady's thoughts.
Although it is difficult to limit this kind of top scorer, when the team is in crisis, their offensive choices are easy to predict.Ordinary people can't be restrained by single defense. Gao Fei, a monster who can control defense as a routine method, will not give face to the scoring champion.
McGrady chose to break through, and as soon as he pulled it up, Gao Fei's outstretched right hand was sealed to the front.
He had to temporarily change his shooting style, sacrifice muscle memory, and avoid being blocked!
clang!
Basketball doesn't lie!
Any opportunist will show his original shape on the field.
Odom felt that the victory was in sight, desperately protecting the defensive rebound.
Gao Fei caught the ball again, took advantage of the momentum and started to speed up, directly attracting the Rockets to defend at the top of the arc.
Concentration is distracted by the pressure, leaving holes in the formation.
Kobe moved smartly, cut without the ball, and received a comfortable pass midway.
Accumulate to take off, and split the buckle with one hand!
74-52!
Yang Jian didn't know which emotion to use to explain, and pondered: "If this continues, the Rockets should be very dangerous."
Director Zhang said: "The Rockets' offense lacks variety, high-low coordination and high-position pick-and-rolls, as well as McGrady's peripheral ball-holding singles and sudden points. Gao Fei can restrain McGrady, making it difficult for the peripheral points to form linkage with teammates."
Yang Jian said: "The Lakers did play more overall."
"Gao Fei is an excellent leader," Director Zhang praised, "He organizes the offensive and defensive ends in an orderly manner, and his teammates can get involved and play the role of the team."
"The Lakers are a strong team, and it's really hard to play."
Gao Fei attracted the defense, hit the ground ball, and expanded the point difference to 30 points!
The morale of the Rockets players completely collapsed.
Jeff Van Gundy's Mediterranean hairstyle is unknowingly a bit messy.
McGrady saw the water dispenser players stand up, knowing that the situation was over, he walked back to the bench in a daze, took the towel, did not wipe off the sweat on his face, but covered his sight.
Dayao sat on the bench and watched his teammates play the final stage.
He had mixed feelings in his heart. After struggling for a season, he could only go so far.
The final whistle sounded!
高飞贡献16分7篮板5助攻3封盖；科比26分4助攻！
麦迪25分6篮板5助攻；大姚18分8篮板！
The Lakers defeated the Rockets away with a score of 108-91. The series scored 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.
……
After Gao Fei changed his clothes, he went to the home team's locker room to look for Dayao.
"Good job." Although he lost the game, Dayao still tried his best to maintain his demeanor.
Gao Fei said: "We will return to Los Angeles tonight, what are your plans for the future?"
Dayao took off his sneakers, and a trainer helped to apply ice to his knees and ankles.
Since the two communicate in Chinese, they are not afraid of the Rockets players and trainers listening.
"There are still more than three months until the World Championships. After a period of rest, I should be training with the national team." Dayao was thinking about the World Championships.
Goofy nodded silently.
Dayao is a player who respects the coach very much. Knowing that Gao Fei and Yunus had conflicts, he asked, "A Fei, how do you plan to deal with the relationship with Yunus?"
Gao Fei didn't think about this issue, pondered for a moment, and said: "Our conflict is for the purpose of helping the team win, and we should be able to reach a reconciliation. I seemed to be a little too reckless at the time, and I was a little arrogant."
"There are not many domestic players who are consciously diligent, and they need coaches to encourage them, otherwise they will easily slack off." As one of the leaders of the national team, Dayao had to persuade Gao Fei, "After you finish the playoffs and report to the national team, you should first Communicate with Yunus in private to resolve the remaining issues of the Asian Championships."
"Understood." Gao Fei is not a character who does not listen to advice, and said, "Since the result is doomed, let's enjoy life for a while."
Knowing that Gao Fei was going to leave, Dayao stretched out his right hand and gave his younger brother a high-five: "A Fei, your team is very strong, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, play steadily, and have a chance to win the championship."
Gao Fei smiled slightly, walked out of the home team's locker room, and went to meet up with his teammates.
"How is Yao?" Luke Wharton asked with a smile knowing that Gao Fei was going to see Dayao.
"Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs." Gao Fei shrugged his shoulders and replied, "He is not bad. It may be uncomfortable for a while, but life always has to look forward."
"My father admires Yao very much, saying that he is a skilled player in the era of withered centers." Luke Walton knows that the team cannot limit Yao, and admires him very much.
"Stars seem to like the same type of players. Jordan admires Kobe, and top centers all admire Yao." Gao Fei asked Luke Walton, "Is there anyone who admires me?"
"Magic Johnson," Luke Walton said, "will praise you whenever there's an interview about you."
"Sure enough..." Gao Fei smiled.
"We're going to play against the Suns in the semifinals. Are you going to run and gun?" Luke Wharton read a column in "SLAM" magazine, in which Gao Fei was introduced as a strong run and gun performer.
Gao Fei didn't want to interfere with the work of the coaching staff, and said: "If I need to drive running and gunning, Phil will tell me clearly. As long as I don't get instructions, I tend to keep the style of play in this round of the series."
"Indeed. Before the playoffs, I never thought I could play this well." Luke Walton still can't believe the Lakers made it to the semifinals.
