the great gatsby

Chapter 106 Stab!

The conflict between Gatsby and his teammates became serious after all. I don’t know who passed it on. The New York Times broke the news that there was a dispute in the Knicks locker room.

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York, USA. It is distributed all over the world and has considerable influence. It is a representative of high-end newspapers and serious publications in the United States. It has long had good credibility and authority.

Just because the New York Times is a serious publication, this report aroused discussion as soon as it came out, and many big newspapers and tabloids began to dig out the news in it.

Some people praised Gatsby's competitiveness, while others criticized Gatsby for being mentally retarded. As a rookie, he took the initiative to provoke a dispute in the locker room.

For a while, many people came out to criticize Gatsby for not being humble enough, and for being the most arrogant rookie.

Knicks management immediately arranged a press conference to clarify, publicly stating that Gatsby and Nate Robinson were just ordinary disputes.

Donnie Walsh stood up and supported Gatsby and said: "I am very happy to see Gatsby is full of competitiveness. I hope the team has more players like this. We are not afraid of disputes and discussions. What we are afraid of is losing the competition." sex."

The Knicks' statement did not stop the criticism. Gatsby was regarded as a thorn in the side. After all, other rookies were honestly helping the veteran to buy hamburgers. Gatsby had already had a dispute with the veteran.

Gatsby ignored the outside discussions. Most of the people on the team were on his side, except for Eddie Curry and Nate Robinson himself.

Li Wanyu was very anxious and called Gatsby immediately.

"Xiaobi, is it true that the media said you had a dispute with Nate Robinson?" Li Wanyu asked anxiously on the phone.

Gai Ci said softly: "It's true, but Sister Li, don't worry..."

"How can you not be in a hurry? You don't know that once you are labeled as a stabbing head or a locker room bomber, it will not be easy for you to change teams in the future!" Li Wanyu said angrily.

Li Wanyu was so anxious, Gai Cibi was still quite warm, after all, only people who really cared about him would be so anxious, he said: "Sister Li, don't worry, just listen to me.

This matter cannot be simply regarded as a bad thing, there are also some positive meanings that can be tapped. "

"What do you mean?" Li Wanyu was a little puzzled.

"The locker room is the workplace. There is no benefit to being a nice guy in the workplace. Although the dispute between me and Robinson has affected my reputation, it has a lot of effects within the team.

The first is to establish my image of being competitive. In the league, being competitive is not a derogatory term. Fans like competitive stars;

The second is Li Wei in the locker room. My current position is very sensitive. As a newcomer, Robinson was robbed of his position by me. It is normal for him to be unconvinced.

The other teammates have benefited from me. My passing made them perform better. After my attack on Robinson this time, other teammates should also know that I can not only benefit them, but also dare to stand up. them, if they are wrong.

According to the Chinese language, it is called the combination of kindness and strength, and the way to do both soft and hard is the kingly way. After such a time, my majesty in the locker room has been erected.

Coupled with the high regard of the coach and general manager and my performance on the basketball court, they will not regard me as an ordinary rookie, so I have a greater say. "

Gatsby's mind is very clear, which is the professional experience accumulated in his previous life.

Li Wanyu exclaimed: "Xiaobi, you are really amazing now, you can understand these twists and turns at such a young age, it's really amazing!"

Gatsby smiled, what is this, the domestic workplace is like this, if you don't understand some workplace rules, you will be grateful to others if your bones are swallowed.

"Then what about your reputation, the locker room bomb is not a good reputation after all." Li Wanyu was still a little worried.

Gatsby said: "This is not a big problem. As long as I can maintain a good state, no team will care about it. Besides, the key to this matter is my rookie status. If I am not a rookie but the boss of the team, I will be blamed like this." It was Robinson not me.

A leader who pursues victory and desires victory will not be blamed, but one who fears war will be cast aside. "

During training in the afternoon, Gatsby obviously felt different. Ellington and Larry Hughes, who had always taken the initiative to ask Gatsby before, became much more honest, and obediently obeyed Gatsby's command.

A point guard must have his own judgment and the ability to withstand pressure. Without a point guard with this ability, it is difficult to be a good point guard.

Whoever asks you for the ball and you give it to you, then in the end there is no way to sort out the offense. After all, there is only one basketball.

This requires that the point guard must have authority-the ball is given to you because you are in a better position, not because you and I want the ball.

Therefore, the point guards of many teams have a lot of say in the team, and Gatesby feels much more comfortable playing this way.

Gatsby was a little unhappy after losing to the Mavericks, but he was also convinced that Nowitzki is going to be in the Hall of Fame, and everyone who can enter the Hall of Fame cannot be ignored.

If you lose, you have to admit it. This is Gatsby's philosophy that he has always insisted on.

But he doesn't want to lose in a row, and the next game will be even more difficult. The next game will challenge the San Antonio Spurs away!
The strength of the Spurs cannot be overstated. Other teams may decline after being strong for a few years, but the Spurs have been strong for 20 years!

It is not easy to beat the Spurs. The current GDP combination is not yet old. The Spurs can enter the second round this season, enter the Western Conference finals next season, and meet the Heat in the finals the following season. 13-14 Season 4: 1 to beat the Heat.

How can such a powerful Spurs be easily defeated, not to mention that Spurs coach Popovich has a lot of experience on how to limit a team with only one strong point. The prospect of the Knicks meeting the Spurs is not good.

This is also true in the pre-game predictions. Many experts predict that the Spurs are likely to beat the Knicks at home.

Popovich's office.

Popovich dug up the previous video and carefully studied the Knicks games. Popovich was able to bring the Spurs so strong. This is one aspect of drafting and training players, and the other is his meticulous preparation. Prepare.

Even in the face of the Knicks, an unpopular team, Popovich still will not take it lightly, not to mention that he is very interested in Gatsby.

He has been looking forward to this game for a long time. His favorite rookies this year are Stephen Curry and Gatsby. He even has the idea of ​​trading Gatsby to the team, but the price is too high. Don't dare to act rashly.

He watched the video for a long time, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it: "Gatsby, you really want to trade him!"
