the great gatsby

Chapter 16 Spike Lee lost his composure!

The game continues, the Warriors have the ball.

The Warriors served the ball in midfield, and Gatsby followed Curry closely. Curry dribbled the ball skillfully. At this time, Curry's center of gravity was much lower than that of the mature Curry, and he passed directly against Gatsby. Gatsby felt a burst of strength coming, and Curry looked weak, but his core strength was very strong.

Gatsby was suddenly rushed by Curry. Fortunately, Douglas delayed a bit. Gatsby caught up with Curry again. This time Gatsby did not dare to be careless. Curry will definitely be one of the most difficult players in the league to defend in the future. ——Fox-like flexibility and precise long-range shooting. After a player has these two things, he will be an extremely difficult person to defend.

Although the current Curry is not as murderous as later generations, it has already taken shape. For Gatsby, it is still not to be underestimated - Curry's speed alone is difficult for Gatsby to deal with. The current body has not been fully tempered yet. This body has great potential. Gatsby can easily feel it, but it takes time to train it. What he lacks most now is time!

Gatsby lowered his center of gravity, ignoring the jumping basketball in Curry's hands, just staring at Curry's center of gravity, and followed Curry step by step, but Curry's dribbling was so powerful, a fast change Going forward, Gatsby had already been attracted to the center of gravity. When Curry dribbled behind his back, he couldn't keep up, so he could only watch Curry rush to the inside.

Curry broke through Gatsby and rushed to the basket. David Lee let go of Biedrins and went straight to Curry. Curry was covered by David Lee's long arms. He used his memory to throw the ball behind David Lee. Passed, the ball was going to Biedrins who was emptied, but as soon as the ball was released, Curry saw a hand stretched out from the side to take the ball away!

"Oops!" Curry was surprised, and when he took a closer look, he saw that it was the extremely handsome boy, the Hollywood actor-Gatsby!

It turned out that Gatsby didn't give up after being broken by Curry. He knew that if he couldn't catch up with Curry, the inside players would definitely make up for him. His task was to help his teammates defend. It was lurking on the side, stealing it directly when Curry passed it out!
Gatsby did not hesitate to catch the ball and directly launched a transition attack. Gatsby was not fast and was caught up by Curry just after halftime. Gatsby looked left and right to observe the movement of his teammates, which made Curry also He let his guard down - he shouldn't be able to attack on his own!

Gatsby saw Curry shrunk inward, his feet stretched together, and the ball had been pushed out of his hands. Curry was shocked: What a fast shot!

Curry himself is a fast shooter. He knows how important shooting speed is to short players. He was taught by his father Dell Curry, who is also a marksman, from the beginning of practice: Short players need to do two things in shooting, One is the release point, the other is the speed, and the speed is especially important among the two!

Years of training has made Stephen Curry clear that it is not difficult to make quick shots. It is rare to make quick shots while maintaining a hit rate. This is why most people shoot slowly. It’s not that they can’t shoot quickly, but After speeding up, their hit rate will drop sharply!

"How dare he!" A voice suddenly appeared in the Knicks fans' minds.

"What a..." Some fans were anxious to utter a national curse.

The basketball spun quickly in the air, slid out of a wonderful arc, and then went straight to the net, passing through the heart without even touching the frame!

"Boom!" The entire Madison Square Garden exclaimed in unison.

"...Fack! Amazing!" The fans who were about to scold them seamlessly turned their curses into praises.

"Wow! Gatsby! Chasing three points!" Spike Lee jumped up from his seat and waved his arms high. Since Gatsby entered the Knicks, Spike Lee has been paying close attention to him. Everyone is from the entertainment industry. , although there is no cooperation, they still know each other, but this is not the reason for Spike Lee to pay attention to him.

The reason why Spike Lee loves the Knicks so much is naturally that he also loves basketball. He has dreamed countless nights that he would become an NBA player and gallop happily in Madison Square Garden, but this is a dream after all. Actors entering the NBA, which makes Spike Lee have a strong sense of substitution - they are all from the entertainment industry!
As the Knicks' substantive mascot, Spike Lee watched every home game almost every game. Looking at it like this is decades, he has almost witnessed all the history of the Knicks.

The New York Knicks team was established in 1946, 72 years ago.

And Spike Lee has been watching football since he was 8 years old, and now he is over sixty years old, and he has never stopped.

He has come all the way from the era of Monroe, Reid and Bernard King, experienced and witnessed two championships in the 70s;
Witness the New York gangsters of Ewing and Oakley in the 90s;
Witnessed Alan Houston's short dagger lore and the finals being cut late, the tragedy and joy of the lone wolf Marbury;

The fight between Anthony and JR Smith (they were in the Nuggets at the time), Lin's crazy inspirational storm and Boshen's revitalized hope.

The history of watching football for half a century is completely a history of blood and tears of the team. Wins and losses, grievances and hatreds are all integrated into his wrinkles from shallow to deep and beard from black to white.

In terms of senior fans, he is definitely a hardcore fan, so his understanding of basketball is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary fans. In the last game between the Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks, he saw Gatsby's potential - he has an excellent vision. , big heart, and first-class sense of timing!
And tonight, it was a steal. He played a transition and directly shot a three-pointer, and judging by the speed and decisiveness of this shot, he is definitely a shooter. After decades of watching football, Spike Lee has seen too many excellent shooters:
Reggie Miller, who talked trash with him, Ray Allen, who kept calm no matter how provocative he was, and Houston, the mid-range shooting king who fascinated him—Gatsby has the same temperament!

Spike Lee was overjoyed, and couldn't help standing up and walking around the sidelines, but was pulled back by the sideline referee, but he didn't dare to scold him - Spike Lee has a high status in Madison Garden!

No wonder Spike Lee lost his temper. He saw the key to the rise of the Knicks. If Gatsby only has vision, a big heart, and a first-class sense of timing, it is already guaranteed that Gatsby can become a core organization. Superb shooting skills, that is the cornerstone of a team that can be built around him!

The reason why D'Antoni likes Curry so much is not because Curry is such a player. Spike Lee, who knows the inside story of the draft, has been heartbroken for not being able to select Stephen Curry. Now seeing a player who can rival Curry How ecstatic he is!
