"Hey, what's the matter with you calling me so early? I think you should have played away from home today? ”

"yes, I was still sleeping so early, and I felt so scared by a news that I couldn't sleep."

"Haha, do you know about Paul's coming to our Lakers?"

"Who doesn't know now? I know it's late. ”

"That's right, now we're aiming for the championship!"

"Really, Bryant I said you guys are quick and very ruthless, how could that guy Chris Wallace agree to such a deal, even if he's going to mess up and consider how the other teams feel!" Gu Fei finally called out the name of the person on the other end of the phone, and it turned out that he had called Kobe Bryant, who had just gotten a good helper.

"Haha, I don't know why he did this, I just know that we do have the strength to challenge for the championship now."

"You guys are good, we are in trouble, we don't have any chances this year, we have to let the team improve in the summer, otherwise we will be pressed by you all the time."

"Is that what you're calling for?"

"Originally, I wanted to inquire about any unknown inside stories about this transaction, but now it's useless to want to know, so I didn't ask."

"Actually, as far as I know, there should be no inside story in this transaction, it is estimated that Chris feels that he has not suffered a loss in such a transaction, and you know that there has never been a shortage of brain-dead general managers in the league." Listening to Kobe's words, there is really no insider, and he thinks the Grizzlies made a very bad trade this time.

"Since this question is useless, let me change it!"

"Oh? What questions do you have. ”

"Do you know the Cavaliers I played away today?"

"I don't know about this, I just know that you are playing away."

"I just wanted to ask you and James have played against him a lot, what is the way to defend him?"

"Defend LeBron? That's what all the coaches in the league are thinking, but there's nothing anyone can do right now, and you can't defend him alone without that kind of top defender, so you have to defend tactically. ”

"Is there any way to do it?"

"The solution is very simple and many people know it, but it's hard to say whether it can be done."

"Don't buy what the hell it is, just say it!"

"It's about consuming him and reducing his scoring efficiency!"

"Consumed?"

"Yes, constantly consume him, so that he must pay physical strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so that his physical strength will be problematic in the back, and it is best to let him fall into singles on the outside, not let him kill on the inside, as long as he arrives in the restricted area, two, three, or even four people to wrap him, forcing him to end the offense with a jumper in the middle distance, his mid-range and three-point shots are not very stable, anyway, he can't let him go inside, let alone let him make fouls to play threes, even if he fouls; You'd better find him when he's defending, and your running can drain his stamina very well, which may reduce his efficiency, and of course you know that stars of his level and me can't defend against it in any way if they feel it, so there's also an element of dribbling. ”

Kobe Bryant said all the ways he knew in one breath, obviously just like he said, all the coaches in the league are studying how to defend James, otherwise Kobe Bryant would not be able to say so many things in one go without thinking about it.

"Well, he looks like he has no one to defend, let me meet him today."

"It's good to have confidence, but now you may be okay with your offense, and it's debatable to defend."

"Can't you give me a little confidence?"

"Okay, let's not hit you, so be it, I hope you can win tonight's game!"

"That's good, it's not good to play back-to-back, I still need to get some sleep now."

hung up the phone, although he didn't seem to get any useful information from Kobe, Gu Fei seemed to have suddenly received some comfort and fell asleep quickly.

When Gu Fei opened his eyes again, it was already noon, and when he cleaned up and walked out of the room, he found that his teammates were no longer in the room, and when he arrived at the hotel restaurant, he only saw Dunleavy and several other assistant coaches still there, and when he asked, he knew that his teammates had already eaten and gone shopping, and Gu Fei, who was shopping, was the least likely, so he sat down to eat with Dunleavy, during which he told Dunleavy what Kobe Bryant told him about the way to defend James. Dunleavy heard that he knew all this, but there are some things that you can't do if you know, just like I understand the truth we often say now, but the concubine can't do it!

After eating well, Gu Fei returned to the room, because he planned to study James again, although it might not be of any use.

We won't go into detail about Gu Fei's research project, time waits for no one, and it's already dark.

The stadium was already full of people before eight o'clock, of course, 90% of them were going for James, but Gu Fei still saw a few Clippers' No. 1 jerseys, which made him very happy, after all, this was not his home stadium.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Noah didn't have much effort to defeat the big Z of the floor flow, and the ball was in the hands of Kassel, and the Clippers got the first offensive opportunity of the game.

After half the game, Cassel directly handed the ball to Gu Fei, Gu Fei dribbled the ball, according to Dunleavy before the game, he should play all the Gu Fei did not plan to come by himself as soon as he came up, and was ready to play a tactic, but he didn't think that the knight would stare at him as soon as he came up.

Larry Hughes, the former steal king, stared at Gu Fei like a poisonous snake, and his aggressive eyes made Gu Fei feel as if he was really a prey.

Gu Fei dodged Larry Hughes's interference with a dribble behind his back, and Sloe, who was not far away, looked a little impatient, "Double bag? Not at first, right? ”。

Gu Fei's heart hesitated, only to feel a pain in the palm of his hand, the basketball was out of his control, only to see that Larry Hughes had already pounced on the basketball, and James over there had already begun to get down in advance, and Hughes, who was the first to grab the ball, made a long pass to James.

The fans at the scene all gave huge cheers when they saw their team stealing the opening game, and James was an arrogant two-handed windmill against the unguarded basket under the cheers of the audience.

"What do rookies look at, now do you know what defense is? You don't get a cent today, those people used to be so good to you. Hughes's tone was extremely arrogant, with a kind of disdain for Gu Fei, obviously feeling that Gu Fei was just a rookie who was exaggerated by the outside world, and he couldn't adapt to NBA-level defense.

"Really? You'll find out later. Gu Fei's tone did not fluctuate, as if he didn't take the steal to heart this time.

I didn't care about Larry Hughes, but Gu Fei still had to explain it to his teammates, "It was just a mistake just now, and I'll make them look good later." ”

"Gu, we believe in you, and at the same time we will help you, you are not fighting alone!"

"Thanks, I'll tell them what the score is!"
