the great gatsby

Chapter 104: King Nuotian!
The second half begins.

The two sides returned to the field first:

Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki, Caron Butler, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and Eric Dampier.

The Knicks are still: Gatsby, Larry Hughes, David Lee, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler.

The Mavericks found that the Knicks were different when they returned to the court. Although the Knicks were serious in the first half, their defensive strength and offense were definitely not so serious.

Especially the rookie Gatsby, who kept shouting loudly on the court: "Larry! Flanker!...David, make up defense!...Danilo! Swipe!...Wilson, yours!"

Under the command of this rookie, the Mavericks found that their offense became stagnant. Coach Carlisle frowned, and the Mavericks' offense was restricted.

"Why did the Knicks' defense suddenly become stronger?" Jeff Van Gundy asked in confusion.

Jeff Van Gundy is a defensive coach. In the Van Gundy era, the Rockets' defense was one of the best in the league.

But this kind of defense is more about lowering the offensive rhythm, thereby reducing the loss of points. The Rockets are the most offensive team in the league. He brought defensive genes to the Rockets.

Although Van Gundy's coaching has also been criticized, there is no doubt about his defensive vision.

The Knicks' defensive change was picked up by Van Gundy right away, and during a timeout he had a studio technician plugged in to the sound of the floor.

A voice on the Knicks side has been shouting and directing the offense: "Larry! Flank!...David, make up defense!...Danilo! Swipe!...Wilson, yours!"

"Wow, Gatsby! I said how the Knicks' defense suddenly became organized. It turned out that Gatsby was directing the defense, and it seemed to be working well.

For defense, first, the players need to be committed, but they need to be organized as a whole. The enthusiasm of the Knicks suddenly rose in the second half, and Gatsby also took over the banner of commanding the defense.

Under his command, the Knicks' defense is really a bit of a team, and Gatsby is really amazing.

You must know that generally speaking, a player in the center position will have an advantage in commanding and defending. The position of the center can see every corner of the field of vision, while the vision of the point guard is much worse.

But Gatsby seems to have the vision of a center. This should not be seen, but through his understanding of the Mavericks' tactics. If this is the case, Gatsby is amazing! exclaimed Jeff Van Gundy.

Although coach D'Antoni himself has been criticized for his defense, does he really know nothing about defense?

Of course not, on the contrary, his defense is also above the standard.

It's just that he has always played fast-paced games, and games with more rounds will inevitably result in more points lost.

It seems that the team coached by D'Antoni is not good at defense. In fact, it is okay to say that his team is indeed not very good at defense. It's not that he can't, but he just doesn't want to.

After experiencing the failure of the Phoenix, Knicks, and Lakers coaching careers, the German coach who came to the Rockets probably made up for his basketball philosophy.

He paid attention to defense in the Rockets, hired defensive coach Jeff Bzdelik, and made the Rockets' defense enter the forefront of the league, which allowed the Rockets to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Coach D'Antoni saw the change in the team's defense at once. He blinked and couldn't believe it: Is this his team?

The Knicks' defense is very poor. They have played 11 games this season, with 5 wins and 6 losses. The record is still not bad.

With Gatsby combing the offense, the Knicks' offense is great, but the defense is poor, which is why the Knicks lost.

Now that Gatsby has taken over the command of the defense, the Knicks' defense has become tougher, and the Mavericks, who are at the forefront of the league in offense, are somewhat uncomfortable.

"Does Gatsby still have such abilities?" D'Antoni murmured.

D'Antoni felt that he could not see through the rookie Gatsby more and more. This rookie seemed to be able to pull out good things from his pocket at any time.

At first it was a three-pointer, then it was a leap in physical strength, then it was a breakthrough, and then it was an improvement in personal defense, and now it can contribute to the overall defense. This rookie...

D'Antoni is a little dazed -- can a rookie be this good?

Under the leadership of Gatsby, the Knicks gradually approached the score, and with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was tied by the Knicks.

Gatsby scored his 26th point, 10 assists, 3 rebounds and [-] steals. Gatsby felt delighted that the situation of the game had come to the Knicks.

Under his command, the Knicks' defense has undergone radical changes, and the Mavericks' offense has become sloppy. In his opinion, the Knicks can win today's game.

But he didn't expect that the opposing team had a historical top offensive power forward, Novichino King!

A guy who can lead the team to fight against the Big Three with a single core, and also kill the Big Three, this thing will not happen until next season.

Nowitzki's state this season is basically the same as next season, but the lineup still has flaws, so he won't go far in the playoffs, but Nowitzki at this time is definitely at his peak.

Nowitzki broke out!
Gatsby was dumbfounded as Nowitzki ravaged his opponent in different ways, Gallinari was rubbed for several rounds, D'Antoni hurriedly replaced David Lee, and David Lee couldn't go up.

Can't change Chandler again, Chandler can't hold on, Larry Hughes comes on, and finally uses Gatsby to try to defend, it doesn't work, no one goes!
Nowitzki scored 6 points in the last 22 minutes!Also sent a few assists.

Nuo Tianwang's outburst directly kicked the Knicks into the abyss, and the Mavericks finally defeated the Knicks at home.

Although Gatsby got 30+10+5 here, he still lost the game.

D'Antoni said in an interview: "We did everything we could do tonight, but Dirk was unstoppable."

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate the realization of the Knicks tonight?"

Although D'Antoni lost the game, he still smiled when he heard this sentence: "I am very satisfied. The team is changing and moving in the right direction. Our players are working very hard. I am very satisfied!"

I am very satisfied with D'Antoni using two, and there is no reluctance. It can be seen that he is in a good mood.

"How do you evaluate Gatsby's performance?" the reporter asked.

"Wow, amazing! That's all I can say, he's a player who can play on both ends of the floor, in fact, he has won me over!

He is the strongest rookie I have ever seen. He still has many shortcomings, but as long as he keeps going, I believe his achievements will exceed your and my imagination! D'Antoni made no secret of his admiration for Gatsby.
