the great gatsby

Chapter 164 Reinforcement!

Andrew Bogut looked at the latest official NBA transaction information in a daze. The protagonist above was himself. The Knicks acquired him with Nate Robinson and the bench bandit Al Harrington.

Although he was the No. 2005 pick in the NBA in [-], Bogut's performance has been unsatisfactory, especially as a center. He has changed his style from the very beginning and has become an iron fence in the Milwaukee restricted area. Why did he work so hard and still be traded?

No one will come to explain to him, and no one will come to comfort him. In fact, his NBA career in the past few years has been a kind of torture for him. At that time, he was elected as the No. 3 pick. He asked him what he thought of the insiders in the NBA. Except for O'Neill, the other three centers were not in the eyes of the Australians. He didn't even mention Yao Ming at all.

"Tim Duncan?" When he heard the name, Bogut said, "I've played against him, and there's nothing special about him." Bogut obviously didn't take Duncan seriously.Friends with good memories may still remember that in the Athens Olympics game, Bogut faced the attack of two insiders, Duncan and Stoudemire, and still played vigorously and was indeed not restricted.

But so what, now he is not the same as being abandoned by the team, Bogut's mood is very low, but he quickly packed up his things and flew to New York immediately.

"Hi, Andrew, we meet again!" Gatsby stood in front of Bogut. Bogut knew Gatsby. The last time they met the Knicks and the Bucks, Gatsby's performance made him break his glasses. I thought Jennings was already the strongest among the rookies, but I didn't expect to be suppressed in the matchup with Gatsby.

Since then, Bogut has been very concerned about Gatsby's news. This undrafted pick has been refreshing his concept-can rookies be so strong?

20+, 30+, 40+, even 50+ triple doubles!

Later, Bogut was already numb. Some people are born extraordinary, but the experience that made him hurt himself was true.

Bogut forced a smile: "Gatsby, we meet again."

Gatsby saw Bogut's unnaturalness, he patted Bogut on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Andrew, don't be like this, aren't you happy to come to the big city of New York, this place is much better than Milwaukee, you will be in Nick Star shines!"

Bogut nodded reluctantly.

Bogut came early today. After all, he arrived in a new city. He had to be active and quickly integrate into the new team. He thought he was the first, but Gatsby was already sweating profusely in the gym.

"Andrew, do you know who offered you?" Gatsby laughed.

"Who is it?" Andrew Bogut was curious.

"It's me, Andrew, no one knows your value better than me. Your style of play is criticized for not being hard enough, and your eyes are defensive. They are slandering you. You can't be tougher from Australia. Your defensive station You are extremely smart, but you are not in a good team, so you haven't shown your excellence.

Don’t worry about offense, as long as you and I play the pick-and-roll, you will definitely not lose your shots. The key is that they will not use you. You can become the core of the team’s operation. Top notch, you can really be Duncan! said Gatsby earnestly.

Bogut looked into Gatsby's eyes. Gatsby's eyes were very sincere, which moved Bogut very much. He said excitedly: "Gatsby, do you really think so?"

Gatsby smiled and said, "I've already discussed with the coach how to formulate tactics for you, and today's joint practice is mainly about this!"

Bogut's depressed mood was swept away, and he couldn't help but get excited. If this is the case, coming to the Knicks is really not a bad thing!

"Oh, by the way, there is a new teammate arriving today. You will like him." Gatsby smiled.

"Tyson Chandler, I know him, he's a tough guy." Bogut said.

Gatsby nodded. This time he convinced Donnie Walsh and D'Antoni to trade Bogut and Tyson Chandler. Due to Chandler's constant injuries in the past two seasons, the Bobcats had already Wanting to send him away, the Knicks handed over Eddy Curry's expiring contract, and the Bobcats happily sent Chandler over.

"Are you talking about me?" came a rich voice.

Gatsby turned his head and laughed, "Tyson, welcome to the Knicks!" Gatsby walked up to Tyson and gave him a big hug. Chandler was on top of Gatsby. Felt Gatsby's enthusiasm.

After the start of this season, Chandler struggled due to injuries. He had long expected to be sent away, but being sent to the Knicks still made him a little unhappy, because the current situation of the Knicks is not good. But Gatsby's enthusiasm made him feel a little happy. Although Gatsby was a rookie, he was the leader of the team after all. The team boss welcomed him very much, and the following days would not be too sad.

Other players arrived one after another, and they greeted their new teammates after Gatsby's introduction. After sending away Nate Robinson, Eddy Curry and Al Harrington, the atmosphere in the Knicks team was obviously cheerful. got up.

When coach D'Antoni arrived, he saw their happy atmosphere and nodded with satisfaction. He also greeted Bogut and Chandler with a smile.

"Hey, Andrew, how do you feel, is the trip enjoyable?" D'Antoni laughed.

"Hello coach, the trip couldn't be better, especially the boss is very enthusiastic about me." Bogut smiled.

"Boss?" The others looked sideways.

"It's Gatsby, don't you call him that?" Bogut wondered.

Everyone laughed: "Yes, he is the boss."

D'Antoni is happy with this situation. A team must have a leader. Gatsby is a very good leader. He is very willing to see players follow Gatsby's example.

"Tyson, how is your body?" D'Antoni asked with concern. The transaction includes a physical examination. Tyson was healthy during the physical examination, but the player's own feelings are the most accurate.

"Coach, it couldn't be better. I think I have recovered 100%!" Tyson Chandler said quickly, and he also wanted to play as soon as possible.

D'Antoni nodded with satisfaction. Although one of the two newcomers had just recovered from an injury and the other was criticized as a softie, he was still willing to believe Gatsby's vision, especially the reasons Gatsby explained to him, and the reason Gatsby explained to him. He was very much looking forward to the tactical play proposed by Cibi.
