Chapter 136
Gao Fei got up early, called Kobe, and went to the indoor arena that he rented last time.
Luke Walton opened the door, saw the double guards, knew they were going to practice, and asked, "Where are you going? Can I go together?"
"Of course, I wish for it." Gao Fei wished his teammates would work harder.
Luke Walton called Vujacic and went to the arena together for extra practice.
Phil Jackson is not a particularly strict head coach and is willing to give players freedom. Even Rodman can play under him.
He gave the team a holiday, and practice was purely voluntary.
The four of them were all about two meters tall, took two cars, and arrived at the newly opened arena.
Gao Ke is a player with top personal skills, eager to win and lose.It's just that the styles of the two are completely different.
Luke Walton partnered with Kobe, Goofy partnered with Vujacic, and used two-on-two to warm up.
Goofy's physical condition is the best in the Lakers, holding the ball with his back, and facing Kobe's defense with a slight foul, he has no fear at all.
Small moves are a common trick of many defensive champions, which can affect the mentality and stability of offensive players, and they will not be called fouls.
Gao Fei's defensive ability is extremely strong, he does not need to use small moves, and both offense and defense are very clean.
Vujacic and Goofy cooperate more.
Kobe is more confident in his own strength.
Unknowingly, the four practiced for more than two hours.
During the sideline break, Luke Walton asked Gao Fei: "Gao, how do you balance personal offense and organizational connection?"
Gao Fei said: "A good point guard is basically the commander on the field, also known as the brain of the team. Having this trait will create a feeling that everything is under control."
"This feeling must be wonderful." Vujacic said.
Gao Fei said with a smile: "It feels pretty good. Being able to help teammates with organizational skills is a great sense of accomplishment."
Kobe said: "If you want to score, run hard. As long as there is a chance, Gao can pass the ball in place. This is his ability, and I am not so generous."
He knew that Gao Fei looked at honor and the team from the same angle as Duncan. He didn't care about statistics and was willing to do anything for victory.
Even if it attracts defense and helps teammates gain space, I am willing to do it.
Under the impact of American basketball star culture, many basketball players want to be Jordan Kobe James, but a successful team is definitely not just the credit of the stars.
The management and owner who have a unique vision and are willing to pay the luxury tax, the head coach who has experience and is suitable for the team, a solid lineup and execution ability, and a star can enter the ranks of the championship.
If the team only relies on the personal ability of the stars, it will be difficult to succeed in the playoffs.
Near noon, the four players who played for half a day returned to the away hotel.
Kobe got off the taxi and suggested: "Gao, I heard that you play the guitar well. Before you get ready for the game, can you play a song for everyone?"
Gao Fei said: "This time I only played one game in Houston, and I didn't bring my guitar."
"It's easy to handle." Kobe went to the front desk of the hotel and asked the service staff to help find a guitar.
American professional basketball players live in high-end hotels with special beds and complete supporting facilities in the rooms.
The front desk staff made several phone calls, and then said, "Wait a minute, the guitar will be delivered soon."
In less than 10 minutes, a car drove to the main entrance of the hotel, and an employee of the guitar shop walked out, holding the best quality guitar in the shop.
"Mr. Gao, do you want to buy a guitar?" The guitar store employee knew that NBA players were rich, and Gao Fei was a top player, so he had a high chance of being sold, so he brought the most high-end guitar in the store.
Gao Fei thought about signing a 5-year, 2000 million dollar endorsement, so he "reluctantly" made a move and bought the guitar that was sent.
Bryant asked Vujacic and Luke Walton to notify his teammates to go to his room to watch Goofy perform.
Gao Fei came to Kobe's room with his guitar, tuned it in advance, and waited for his teammates to arrive.
Phil Jackson walked into the room, saw Gao Fei holding the guitar, and teased, "Gao, have you been so tight recently that you have to make money by performing arts?" The embarrassment in the United States is still deeply imprinted in the minds of teammates and coaching staff.
At that time, Kobe gave him a lot of help, which is why there was no double-star confrontation scene.
Teammates came to Kobe's room one after another, sat on sofas or stools, and looked forward to Gao Fei's performance.
"I'll play a soft rock song from our side." Gao Fei introduced to his teammates in advance.
"Please start your performance!" Phil Jackson also heard that Gao Fei was very good at playing the guitar, and wanted to see it.
Gao Fei plucked the strings with his left hand, and the melody of "Once Upon a Time You" came from his fingertips.He hummed the lyrics that his teammates couldn't understand, and entered a state of ecstasy.
I once dreamed of walking the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world!
The young heart is always a little frivolous, and now it is home everywhere!
The girl who once made you feel bad has disappeared quietly now!
……
Listening to Gao Fei's deep voice, the teammates felt that the guitar accompaniment was just right and complemented each other, which was quite different from the music they were usually exposed to.
Phil Jackson occasionally goes to a concert or two and has favorite singers too.Listen to the melody and immerse yourself in a beautiful enjoyment.
What Odom saw more was Gao Fei's youthful spirit of running wildly, but he didn't expect that he also had an elegant side.He looked at Gao Fei with admiration again and secretly gave a thumbs up.
After playing, Gao Fei pressed the strings to stop the strings from vibrating, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it up to standard?"
Kobe had made an album before, knew a little about music, and heard that Gao Fei's guitar skills were quite high. He praised: "No wonder the media gave you the nickname 'artist', it is really appropriate."
Vujacic nodded in agreement.
Gao Fei was in a good mood, and it was rare to be able to team up with his teammates, so he decided to play another song.
This song is a song he heard on the music list by chance. It was released in 2004 and is "Be what u wanna be" sung by singer Darin.
The melody is very powerful, just as the lyrics express, you must have the courage to be yourself.
Before listening to Gao Fei's performance, the team members thought that the artist's nickname only came from the stadium; after hearing the wonderful guitar performance, they finally understood what they said was true.
"I hope you can be yourself in the team, and I will find a way to fill in the remaining things." Gao Fei said after playing a few pieces, "This is the true meaning of the team, without you, I would not be here. "
Phil Jackson lamented Gao Fei's growth rate.A few months ago, he was a vigorous young man, transformed into a steady team leader.
That's the value of a good point guard.They understand the meaning of the team better than players in other positions, and they know what kind of changes strong tactical execution can bring to the team.
