the great gatsby

Chapter 114 The last minute!

74: 68!

The time-out is over and the game continues.

After returning, Gatsby found that he was stuck in the mud again, and couldn't help sighing. The Spurs' defense was really annoying. Gatsby couldn't compare to the speed, so he could only bear his temper and bite the Spurs one by one in the positional battle.

Coach D'Antoni felt bad for Gatsby. After returning from a timeout in the fourth quarter, the Spurs took care of Gatsby significantly. Cutting off the passing lanes, this is defending Gatsby like a superstar!
Popovich doesn't care about these things. There is no such thing as losing face when attacking rookies, or being cruel to young people. In his eyes, only failure is the only reason to feel ashamed.

Gatsby held the ball at the top of the arc, Gallinari came up to pick and roll, Gatsby dribbled to the side, Duncan pounced, Gatsby protected the ball, and when Gallinari went straight, he was about to pass the ball to Gary Gnaly, I didn't expect Parker to let go of Gallinari directly and flank Duncan in a high position.

Gatsby was overjoyed, he was not afraid of flanking, and flanking would definitely lead to open opportunities, which was his favorite. Gatsby waited patiently for the opportunity, found a gap, and passed the ball to Gallinari , just shot, Gatsby yelled: "Oops!"

Ginobili jumped out from a diagonal stab, stole the ball away and made a fast break layup. The score was 83:83 with 3 minutes left in the end of the game.

Gatsby was very upset. Although he had scored 32 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, this was already his third mistake in the fourth quarter. The Spurs were taking care of him wholeheartedly, but the rest of the Knicks did not give him any help. Gatsby's too much help made Gatsby trapped in the Spurs' circle.

Gallinari missed a three-pointer during this period and was boldly released by the Spurs. David Lee was completely controlled by Duncan. Chandler and Larry Hughes had lost their way under the stumbling blocks of the Spurs. The Knicks already in trouble.

"Now that the score is tied, the Spurs have controlled the rhythm. Although it is still unclear who will win and who will lose, the Spurs have the upper hand. Gatsby of the Knicks has already made three turnovers under the pressure of the Spurs. Very rare for Gatsby.

Although Gatsby is only 19 years old, he plays like a veteran who has been in the league for many years. He controls mistakes very well and rarely makes mistakes. But today, under the siege of the Spurs, he has already There were 5 turnovers, but this cannot be blamed on him, after all, he is now facing the San Antonio Spurs, and the pressure he is now suffering is at the top superstar level.

If other Knicks players can't stand up to share the pressure for Gatsby, the Knicks may suffer a loss at the Spurs' home court today. It is also normal for the Knicks to lose here. " said the narrator.

The score had just been tied, but the Knicks' players seemed to have lost the game, and they looked frustrated. They felt that they were under the control of the Spurs throughout the game. The Spurs' tight defense had made them lose confidence.

Gatsby didn't want to admit defeat, he clapped his hands to attract the attention of his teammates, and said loudly: "Brothers, cheer up, we haven't lost yet, we dragged the game to the last moment, now it's time for us to win." It's time to accept the game, come on, come on!
Run as hard as you can, I will give you the ball in time, play firmly, don't hesitate, at this time, it depends on who is more tenacious, who is more determined! "

Gatsby quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt. Under his command, his teammates started running. Larry Hughes ran to the side to catch the ball under the cover of David Lee and Chandler. Gatsby made the ball in time. In the past, Larry Hughes swayed, took two steps and hit a mid-range shot!

85: 83!

"Good shot! Larry, well done, you need to be more determined!" Gatsby yelled at Larry Hughes.

"Defend! Watch your own people, stick to them, and move faster!"

"Flanker! David helps Chandler flank!"

"Danilo, watch out for cutting the passing lanes!"

"Well done, give me the ball, hurry up!"

Gallinari got a chance for a three-pointer from the bottom corner. This time he pulled up and shot without hesitation, and hit a three-pointer!

88:83!The Knicks lead by 5 points!
Gatsby kept shouting, not only to cheer up his teammates, but also to use his defensive experience learned from Gary Payton to direct his teammates to help defend. Under his command, Chandler and David Lee flanked Duncan. Duncan wanted to pass the ball to Ginobili who was cutting, but Gallinari intercepted it and formed a conversion opportunity.

"Time out! Time out!" Popovich rushed into the field angrily, and the referee quickly called a timeout.

Popovich was furious and roared at his disciples, but the Knicks were happy. Gatsby and his teammates high-fived each other. There was only 1 minute left. With a 5-point difference, the Spurs still had a chance, but the Knicks has gained the upper hand.

"Do a good job of defense, don't give three points, don't foul, Gatsby, you control the time when you hold the ball, don't rush to shoot, try to spend as much time as possible, time is our good friend, you know?" D'Antoni The coach ordered.

Gatsby nodded.

The game restarted, Tony Parker dribbled the ball quickly across half court, and then passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan handed Parker at the free throw line. Ginobili and Manu shot with open hands and hit a three-pointer!
88: 86!

It took only nine seconds for the Spurs to play this shot. Gatsby caught the ball and slowly dribbled it across the front field, dribbling the ball at the top of the key and waiting for the time to pass. David Lee broke through the pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Gallinari on the outside before the Spurs closed.

Gallinari shook the defense with a shot and then broke through to the inside. Duncan's position was exquisite and blocked Gallinari's breakthrough route. Gallinari passed the ball to Larry Hughes who was ambushing in the bottom corner. Larry Hughes did not Shot, because the Spurs' pursuit arrived.

Gatsby cut in from the middle, Larry Hughes dropped the ball to Gatsby who cut in the middle, Gatsby made a layup in three steps, Duncan returned to the defense again, jumped high and wanted to block Gatsby , Gatsby tossed the ball into the air, and Duncan who had just landed felt a black shadow drifting over his head.

"Boom!" Duncan was dunked!
David Li screamed up to the sky, he was suppressed badly by Duncan today, this lob dunk vented out his depression!

90: 86!
