the great gatsby

Chapter 122

"Hmph, that's right! But you are much better than me. You were nominated for Best Actor at a very young age, and you've also been in the cross-border NBA like a duck to water. You should be the leader of the team now, right? You're really amazing. I'm just talking on paper. And you have already made a name for yourself!" Long Xiaoman's eyes were shining.

Gatsby secretly felt ashamed. The nomination for Best Actor was a result of his body. Being able to become famous in the NBA was mainly due to the system. Although he worked hard, there were so many people who worked hard. No one could do it simply by working hard. Just reach the pinnacle of life.

Those who seem to have reached the top by hard work, in fact, their talents make you despair, this is a very real thing.

Gatsby shook his head with a smile: "I was just lucky..." He changed the subject and did not talk about this matter with Long Xiaoman. "...By the way, I have some ideas. I want to invest in some companies in the past few years, mainly high-tech companies. Do you have any suggestions?"

Long Xiaoman suddenly became excited and chattered about what to pay attention to when investing, how to avoid risks, and how to avoid being diluted by partners in the next round of financing after investing. Finally, Long Xiaoman concluded Said: "...Finally, and the most critical point is that you have to find someone knowledgeable to help you manage it! He must be proficient in tax law and company law!"

Gatsby looked at Long Xiaoman dumbfounded, because Long Xiaoman looked at him with bright eyes, and the eagerness in his eyes was almost pulling Gatsby to say that he would choose me.

Gazibi said dotingly: "Okay Xiaoman, I just have this idea now. When I have the funds on hand, I will ask you to be my agent!"

Long Xiaoman nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and smiled gradually: "Then it's settled!"

"Hmph, when your fortune falls into my hands, I think you will never obey me. If you don't obey me, I will make it impossible for you to go there! Hehe!" Long Xiaoman looked at Gatsby with a smile. I thought proudly.

Gatsby felt a little panicked, but he didn't know why. He looked at the weather and it was still so bright. He guessed it might be because of the game tomorrow night. After all, what he was going to face tonight was Howard, who could replace LeBron James alone. !

Amway Arena.

The game has not yet started, and the arena is already full of people. The arena is not big, and it can only accommodate more than 17 spectators.

The Magic have performed well in the past few years, and fans are willing to buy it. They like to watch Howard overwhelm the basket. In recent years, Howard has indeed possessed a strong dominance.

Who were the other four starters of the Magic last season? Nelson, Lewis, Turkoglu and Courtney Lee who just entered the league. These four are not defensive colanders, but they are also strong offensive and defensive types. , But Leng is relying on Howard's inside defense to support the entire team.

With this "one grab, four shots" lineup, the Magic made it to the finals. Although they lost to the Lakers in the finals, this was the result of the pincer attack of the two insiders, Gasol and Bynum. If there is no pincer attack between the two major insiders, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Game start.

The head coach of the Magic is Stan Van Gundy, brother of Jeff Van Gundy. He came to the Magic after resigning as the head coach of the Miami Heat in 2005. Under his leadership and the growth of Howard, the Magic's performance has been rising, not only entering the playoffs, but also Also made it to the finals.

For Stan Van Gundy, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of life, because before Gatsby was born again, Stan Van Gundy's best result was last season. He won 59 wins in the regular season, with a winning percentage of 72%, which is only 60 wins in the history of the Magic team. One game short, and rushed to the finals.

Stan Van Gundy's starting lineup is: Sharad Lewis, Dwight Howard, Michael Pietrus, Vince Carter and White Chocolate Jason Williams.

The lineup sent by the Knicks is: Gatsby, David Lee, Gallinari, Larry Hughes and Wilson Chandler.

Howard and David Lee jump the ball in the middle. Howard dials the ball directly over David Lee's head to Jason Williams. Williams quickly crosses the half court and throws the ball in the air. Howard goes down He jumped high and dunked on David Lee's head!
Head start!

The Magic gave the Knicks a big blow from the very beginning!

Howard is 211cm tall and weighs 120kg. His superhuman physical fitness and agility make him look like a center. When he was about to leave, David Lee had no way to stop him, so he dunked on David Lee's head!
David Lee was very angry, but he could only quickly pick up the ball and send it to Gatsby.

Gatsby signaled to David Lee to be patient, as the situation would always be restored, but it should not be rushed.

Gatsby quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and Jason Williams stood in front of him. Today's opponent is the legendary white point guard Jason Williams.

In the 1998 NBA Draft, Jason Williams was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 7th place in the first round. At that time, Jason Williams was full of excitement and made the Kings famous before the arrival of the Five Tigers.

Jason Williams is a very good point guard, but he is not a point guard who can become a core point guard. He has a gorgeous playing style, but he also makes many mistakes. He can score and pass beautiful balls, but at critical moments It is difficult for him to determine the situation with one sword. This is an excellent role player, but not the core of a team.

Jason Williams changed his playing style later in his career. In the 06 Finals, Williams averaged 12 points and 5 assists per game, helping the Heat beat Dallas in four consecutive games after falling behind 0:2 The Mavericks, winning the championship, can be regarded as a good death.

He retired in 2008, but returned to the game in 2009, and came to the Magic, probably because Van Gundy coached him in the Heat.

David Lee proposed to help Gatsby do high pick-and-rolls. Although Jason Williams is getting better and better in assists, due to age and injuries, his legs and feet are no longer able to keep up. Gatsby Easily bypasses David Lee.

Howard had to guard the basket, so he didn't come out near the free throw line. Gatsby pulled up a three-pointer and shot!
Three point hit!

In the final analysis, the Magic's defensive system is to oppress the ball holder from the outside, and then shrink the defense to press and squeeze. This kind of defense is especially deadly for those teams that like to break through and do not have accurate shooting. The worst one is the Magic.

Howard couldn't defend after Gatsby's pick and roll!
