the great gatsby

Chapter 137 Everyone Loves Gatsby!
D'Antoni was stopped by Gatsby on the way back. Gatsby smiled and said, "Coach, can you chat with me?"

D'Antoni nodded and said, "Come to my office."

When the two arrived at the office, Gatsby said, "What the media reported should be true."

D'Antoni looked at Gatsby with a complicated expression, and he nodded silently.

Gatsby laughed, and D'Antoni looked at Gatsby in surprise. He thought that this young man would be extremely angry, and even yelling might not be impossible.

Gatsby laughed, "Isaiah Thomas' idea again?"

D'Antoni blurted out, "How do you know?"

Gatsby shook his head with a smile: "If it wasn't for him, I really don't know who would do such a stupid thing. The news in the media is probably leaked by him himself to create momentum for himself. He wants to return to the Knicks." , so he thought that the deal confirmed by both parties would not change, so he leaked the news in advance to create momentum for himself, so that he could squeeze Donny Walsh away, hmph, if he made the deal silently , it’s all right, but with such a big momentum, this deal may not be possible!"

"What happened?" D'Antoni asked.

"It's nothing. James Dolan directly talks about the deal with the general manager. If it has become a fait accompli, it's nothing more than a fait accompli. If it doesn't succeed like this, it's a big deal. Look at how the media will react tomorrow. I don't think James Dolan will dare to take the risk. The world is so bad." Gatsbee said with a sneer.

"However, even if the deal is actually completed, it's nothing special. Such a boss is indeed disappointing." Gatsby said.

D'Antoni also agreed, and he also had the intention of leaving, but he looked at Gatsby and felt very reluctant to let go. He finally found a good person with good talent and good qualities, but he hadn't had time to think about it carefully.

The media's reaction was more intense than Gates had imagined.

[James Dolan made another trick, sending a super rookie to Miami]

[Smiling Assassins eyeing the Knicks again, the Big Apple City is in crisis]

Some media are even more unkind.

[The Knicks self-destructed, James Dolan deserves death! 】

[The ghost of Isaiah still lingers. What is the grudge between him and New York?]

"Didn't you say that the whole of New York would be jubilant if Wade was traded here!" James Dolan looked at Isaiah Thomas with dissatisfaction. Even though he trusted Thomas, he still showed dissatisfaction in the face of the condemnation of the whole of New York.

Isaiah Thomas was also a little puzzled: "It shouldn't be, Wade is a superstar, and the Knicks can recruit Wade, shouldn't it be something that makes New York fans happy?"

James Dolan was silent for a while, then said, "It should be because of Gatsby."

"That rookie?" Isaiah Thomas asked in surprise.

Only then did James Dolan realize how much Gatsby was loved by New York fans. Sure enough, everyone loved Gatsby!

"Jim, this is our only chance to get Wade, you have to withstand the pressure!" Isaiah Thomas asked James Dolan.

"Okay, Isaiah, that's it, stop the deal, if they are willing to give up Gatsby, the rest of the people Pat Riley will give whoever they want, but Gatsby will not." James Doland said .

"Jim..." Isaiah Thomas wanted to say something, but James Dolan waved his hand. He knew that his friend had made up his mind, and Isaiah Thomas could only leave in a sad mood.

Then James Dolan called Donny Walsh and asked Donny Walsh to announce that the transaction was on hold.

Pat Riley is a pity, but he is not too frustrated. Although the transaction did not succeed, Wade is still the leader of the Heat, but he has to have a good talk with Wade. The players involved in the transaction need to be appeased, otherwise they will always There will be resentment.

The situation on the Knicks side is even worse. This time, those involved in the trade turmoil include Gatsby, David Lee, Larry Hughes, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and the five starters are not missing. Involved in it, even the head coach and general manager are not out of the matter, it can be said that the entire Knicks have been scattered because of this transaction turmoil, and they are almost falling into disintegration.

The Knicks' low morale led to their losing streak in the following games:

Facing the Atlanta Hawks led by Horford, the Knicks fell into a hard fight and were finally defeated by the Hawks by one point;

Facing the New Jersey Nets with 1 win and 18 losses since the start of the game, the Knicks couldn't please them, and lost again in the away game.

两场比赛盖慈比倒是表现还算正常，对老鹰盖慈比拿下26分6助攻5篮板2抢断，面对新泽西网队盖慈比拿下27分7助攻4篮板3抢断，除了助攻低于场均，其他的数据还是正常的。

D'Antoni was at a loss for the team's predicament, and the team was not easy to lead. D'Antoni was worried about this situation, but he didn't know how to start. Larry Hughes, who used to solve problems in the locker room And Chris Duhon didn't stand up either, they could see that they are a chess piece that can give up at any time for the Knicks!

When the Knicks returned home, Gatsby invited several teammates involved in the trade turmoil to a dinner. After drinking and eating, Gatsby said: "Everyone, I know everyone is very sad about this incident. In fact, I Also, I didn't think I'd work so hard and still not be taken seriously, and I'm disappointed in that bastard James Dolan.

The situation is already obvious, the Knicks are going to undergo major surgery, this summer, half of us will leave the team, to make room for the Knicks to recruit superstars and deploy other veterans, this is what will happen.

But you don’t have to be too resentful, this is the NBA, what loyalty, what belief, that is what superstars are entitled to have, for us players, we are just commodities that can be traded after all, the owner of the team said No matter how good they are, they are also capitalists who put their interests first.

But should we be depressed?
We are all seniors, so I don’t need to say too much. How much your contract will be in the future, and whether you have status in the team depends on our performance this season. We play not only for the team, but also for our income. Why not? , We surprised the world this season, and also made our future contracts bigger...and, to improve the record, not to give James Dolan the chance to get the No. [-] pick! "

Larry Hughes and others laughed out loud. They knew that a good performance equals a big contract. They knew that the statement that James Dolan would not get the No. [-] pick made them laugh out loud. Dolan doesn't take them seriously, so the benefits shouldn't be given to him.
