the great gatsby

Chapter 126 28 points in a single quarter!
71: 67!

The Knicks led by 4 points.

Gatsby's 21st point, the fourth three-pointer, was just the beginning.

White Chocolate dribbled the ball across half court, and then Howard went to the high pick-and-roll, Howard rolled down the first block, White Chocolate threw the ball into the air, Howard rose high, pressed David Lee and pushed the ball into the basket!

71: 69!

Amway Arena erupted into a boom, and Howard roared and took the overlord step, admiring the cheers of the crowd.

Gatsby didn't care about Howard's celebration. He quickly took David Lee's serve and passed the half court quickly. Howard was still chasing after him. David Lee blocked it and Gatsby made another three-pointer. Take action!
The boiling Amway Arena suddenly fell silent. People watched the basketballs draw a wonderful line in the air and crash into each other's hoops, and they scored three points!
Gatsby's fifth three-pointer, his 24th!
74: 69!

The magic fans suddenly felt a little chilly. Gatsby's consecutive ultra-long three-pointers cooled them down from the frenzy. Just a few seconds before the ball was just a few seconds away from Howard's dunk, Gatsby used a three-pointer Howard Meng Lang was punished.

Gatsby didn't growl or jump, but just coldly stretched out three fingers, meaning a three-point hit, his face was calm, as calm as if the air conditioner was blowing in the library, looking at the boring The professional book is average, so calm that the fans in the Amway Arena feel a little chilly.

Howard stared at Gatsby thoughtfully. He is a player who relies on his emotions. If he is as calm as Gatsby, it will be difficult for him to play his peak performance, but this ball is indeed his best.

Magic ball right.

After White Chocolate and Howard set a high pick-and-roll, Howard went down and caught David Lee in the low post. He received the ball and hit a hook shot. David Lee was ravaged by Howard today. I hope David Lee will not be mentally disturbed by this. shadow.

74: 71!

But obviously David Lee didn’t. He didn’t care about Howard’s complacency after scoring the goal. He directly sent the ball to Gatsby. Gatsby rushed to the frontcourt. , Gatsby turned around and passed Lewis in front of him. The front was already flat, and Gatsby went straight to the basket and made a layup.

76: 71!

Gatsby couldn't stop it!
He scored his 26th personal score!
As long as there is a pick-and-roll in the high post, if the Magic's inside line does not go up, Gatsby will shoot. If Lewis goes up and delays, the inside line will be empty, and Gatsby will rush to the basket or make kills or score directly.

Van Gundy was hesitant to call a timeout. The rookie on the opposite side was already playing crazy. Although Howard has been scoring, but this rhythm belongs to the Knicks. The Magic's rhythm is a typical rhythm in the Eastern Conference. The rhythm is slow and emphasizes physical contact. Fighting against the muscles, and the current situation is that the tempo is fast, Gatsby is constantly pushing the speed, and the magic can't help but become faster.

Although the fans at Amway Arena were worried, they were still attracted by Gatsby's cool and no-nonsense style of play. Gatsby almost threw the ball after half-court, and it was so accurate that no one in the audience knew that it turned out that The three-pointer is so gorgeous and so attractive. It’s not just the collision of muscles in the paint or the explosive dunk that can make people secrete a lot of adrenaline. This kind of three-pointer that kills people’s heads from thousands of miles away is also so gorgeous. !
Before this, league players would either ambush the bottom corner for a three-point shot, wait for the opponent to shrink, and then a ball came out, and the shooter in the bottom corner took the ball and shot, which was not only boring, but also boring;
Either some players with extremely poor shot selection, rushing to shoot three-pointers against defensive players, it would be wonderful if they could score, but most of the time it ended with a strike.

Gatsby showed the world how three-pointers can be gorgeous.

Take action directly after the pick and roll!

Come out from inside the screen to catch the ball and shoot!

After the pick-and-roll, he faced the inside line and directly hit the big one. Several changes in front of the body shook the center of gravity of the inside line, and then he retreated to the three-point line to shoot!
In a very small space, catch the ball with the help of teammates' micro-covers, and throw the ball out in a few tenths of a second!
……

Gatsby showed almost all the shooting methods of three-pointers!

"Wow!!!!!! Three-pointer at the buzzer! Gatsby's 10th three-pointer, and a new career scoring record, he scored the 46th point! Great Gatsby!" The live commentary roared loudly road.

Coach D'Antoni's face flushed with excitement, and he murmured, "That's it, that's it! This is his true strength!"

Van Gundy felt like he was going crazy. In the three quarters, the opponent's rookie scored 46 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal. He made 15 of 10 three-pointers. Now he just finished the third quarter. I don't know what this rookie has in the fourth quarter. If he scores one or two three-pointers and breaks the three-point record, where will he put his face, and Gatsby has scored 46 points and 8 assists, if this rookie can score 50+10, the Magic will Shame on the whole team!

Gatsby was wildly welcomed by his teammates. They knew that Gatsby was very good, but Gatsby usually played very reasonably and his scores were evenly distributed. Basically, his scores reached 20+30+ without even realizing it, but like It was such a concentrated shot tonight, but there were basically no shots.

When Gatsby concentrated his shots, they were shocked to find that their rookie teammate had become so strong, hitting 7 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 28 points in a single quarter!
You must know that the current single-quarter scoring record ranks third is David Thompson, with 32 points. On April 1978, 4, the Nuggets faced the Pistons at home. David Thompson made 9 of 21 shots in the first quarter, and even more in the second quarter. 20 points, setting a new NBA historical record at the time, with 32 points in the game.

In the 1977-1978 season, the competition for the scoring title between George Gervin and David Thompson reached a fever pitch.Before the last game of the regular season against the Jazz, George Gervin was told that David Thompson scored 73 points in the closing game and that if he wanted to defend the scoring title, he must score more than 58 points.So George Gervin scored 33 points in the second quarter and 63 points in the game, ranking first in the scoring record in a single quarter!

Carmelo Anthony scored 33 points last season. On December 2008, 12, the Nuggets played against the Timberwolves at home. In the third quarter, Anthony made 10 of 15 shots and 12 of 6 free throws. He scored 5 points crazily, tying George - Gervin's 33-year record is tied for the first place in history.

Although Gatsby's 28 points in a single quarter are not ranked, there are still some shocking things about him. First of all, this is a statistic from a rookie, and second, he hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter!
