the great gatsby

Chapter 150! (Fifth update!)
In 1970, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 4:1 to enter the Finals and met the Lakers in the Finals. After Reed suffered a thigh muscle tear in the fifth game of the Finals, the Knicks' championship hopes were also dampened. Added a layer of shadow.Reed missed Game 45 due to injury. With Wilt Chamberlain's 27 points and 3 rebounds, the Lakers tied the series at 3-[-].

Before the tiebreaker, no one knew whether Reid would be able to play through the injury.But when their captain limped onto the court, the confidence of all Knicks members seemed to be aroused.Although Reed only made 2 goals and scored 4 points in the end, his motivating effect on the team is self-evident in this critical battle where the entire army is at risk.

Afterwards, Reed recalled: "I don't want to look at myself in the mirror 20 years later and regret that I never played."

Injured Reed's return of the king boosted the morale of the Knicks. In the end, they defeated the Lakers in the tiebreaker of the Finals and won the first championship in team history.

This is the most talked about by Knicks fans, "Reid is back". Gatsby was not injured, and today is not the playoffs or the finals. Qualities: Endurance, Pride, Dignity, Duty, Diligence and Courage!
In the third quarter, relying on Gatsby's desperate drive to the basket, the Knicks still led by 10 points. The two sides entered the fourth quarter 79:89. Gatsby's personal score reached 51 points, and Kobe scored 39 points.

Phil Jackson frowned. The Knicks withstood the third quarter. The Lakers were still [-] points behind in the fourth quarter. I'm afraid it's not easy to play now. Since the third quarter can withstand it, the fourth quarter will probably be difficult. Crush them, but, Gatsby, do you still have the energy?
Gatsby still rushed to the basket as if he was tired. As soon as the Lakers contracted, he gave the ball to Gallinari or Larry Hughes. The efficiency of rushing to the basket to face the Twin Towers was too low. Bynum was 213cm tall. , Gasol is also 213cm, two tall 213 cm are blocking the basket, it is too difficult for Gatsby to hit the basket, and they don't foul, so Gatsby changed his way and rushed to the basket , Forced them to shrink, and then shot three-pointers to Gallinari and Larry Hughes from the outside.

Gatsby was sweating profusely. Since his physical strength increased greatly, he rarely felt tired in games, but tonight he still felt tired. In order to create opportunities, he had to be double-teamed by several people Breakthrough, if it's one or two breakthroughs, it's easy. The key is that he found that once he doesn't break through, the Knicks' offense will stagnate.

Gallinari can only catch and shoot the ball on the outside, and it is difficult to have the desire to attack when he is followed by Gasol or Bynum on the inside. David Lee faces Gasol and Bynum under the basket, and he is caught by Gasol. After he took two risks, he simply stopped attacking. As for Larry Hughes...it is still too difficult for him to play Kobe.

Therefore, Gatsby could only keep breaking through and scoring, or breaking through to cause damage, or breaking through to hit the basket. The effect was very good. The Knicks maintained the lead, but Gatsby also fell into a state of physical exhaustion. trouble.

After three minutes of playing in the fourth quarter, D'Antoni saw Gatsby's trouble and quickly replaced him. He wanted to give Gatsby about three or four minutes to rest, otherwise the Knicks would not be there when the decisive battle came. An arrow capable of attacking at the same age.

Gatsby was replaced by Chris Duhon. After Duhon came on, Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to face that murderous kid anymore. All his experience against Gatsby was no longer useful. However, his shortcoming of slow lateral movement has been magnified to the point where the Lakers' management can directly retire him.

Even when he faced Chris Paul, he was never so embarrassed, because Chris Paul is not as good as Gatsby with three-pointers. Cibi's three-pointer made the Lakers' twin towers often have to be pulled to the three-point line for delay, and the Lakers' defense was opened up.

Defending Duhon was much easier. Duhon didn't have Gatsby's three-pointer, and his pass was not as elusive as Gatsby. This quickly showed in the game. Although the Knicks' offense did not completely stagnate, it was obvious When things got stagnant, the Lakers took the opportunity to pull the score in. D'Antoni quickly replaced Gatsby. He hadn't rested for 3 minutes, and the sweat on his body hadn't been completely dried.

89:95, the point difference is only six points.

Gatsby glanced at the timer. There were still 6 minutes left, and the six-point difference was not safe. With the Lakers' offensive ability, they could tie in 2 minutes, and the Knicks had to score!

Gatsby held the ball across half court and called Gallinari to pick and roll. Gallinari led Bynum to a high position. Fisher wanted to squeeze through. Gatsby dribbled the ball from behind to the other side. Scheer was thrown away, and there was already a wide area in front of him. Gatsby jumped up and shot, the orange basketball spun quickly and then hit the basket.Three points hit!
"Gatsby!! Hit a three-pointer! The point difference is 9 points!" The home commentator screamed heartbreakingly.

Gatsby's 54th point, he broke his career scoring record!

Madison Square Garden is already like boiling hot water, bubbling and bubbling. All the fans' blood rushed to their faces, and steaming cheers were sprayed from their mouths. All the fans seemed to be shaken up. Unable to sit down.

Kobe caught and dribbled the ball for half the court. He wanted to play a single. Larry Hughes lost his focus. The time has declined, but the skills and experience have reached the point of being ineffective. Kobe stopped Larry Hughes with a hesitant step, and Kobe accelerated half a step past Larry Hughes. David Lee hurriedly prepared to help defend , Kobe faced Gasol who was emptied, but he didn't pass the ball. He said that it was a single play, and there was absolutely no reason to pass the ball halfway.
91:98, the point difference is only 7 point.

Gatsby was amazed. This is what makes Kobe so difficult. He doesn’t need much space to break through. Within the three-point line, he only needs a little space to pull up and shoot. This is why Kobe is difficult to defend. For ordinary attackers, as long as they drive him to one side and set up a flanking attack inside, they can only choose to pass the ball or dribble the ball out, but Kobe can be strong in these places and can also hit. , the hit rate is not bad!
