the great gatsby

Chapter 177: Farewell, three days, treat each other with admiration!

2: 8!

De Nagro requested a timeout to make adjustments, and the game continued after the timeout.

Bulls ball.

Rose held the ball at the top of the arc, and Noah came up to pick and roll, Gatsby quickly took a step forward, Rose suddenly exploded, and the quick first step blocked Gatsby's start, and then made continuous strides, Bogut wanted to catch up , but Rose relied on Bogut to pick up the speed and went straight to the layup, while Bogut could only shake his nose like a clumsy elephant.

There was an exclamation in Madison Square Garden.

"Derrick... Rose! Fast and amazing! We all know how much the Knicks' defense has improved. Bogut's interior defense has caused too many teams to feel headaches. Gatsby's outside iron chain has made many point guards heartbroken. But Vulnerable to Ross!" Charles Barkley said.

"If Gatsby had a lifelong enemy in his day, I think Derrick Rose is the most likely one, they have distinct characteristics.

Derrick Rose fought hand to hand, his bayonet saw blood; Gatsby flew his sword to kill the enemy, killing people and killing people.

Derrick Rose is fast and aggressive; Gatesby is cold as ice and has a needle in his hair.

They are happy, because it is a very happy thing to have an opponent who can be an enemy;
We are also happy. The older generation of GDP, O'Neal, Garnett, and Kobe are still going strong. People like James, Howard, Wade, Anthony, Paul, Deron, and Aldridge are gradually reaching their peak, and Gatsby , Rose, Durant, Giannis, Tyreke, Griffin, Rondo and other young people have also emerged, and the league is becoming more and more prosperous. This is the luck of the league and our luck. "Kenny Smith said.

4: 8!

Now that Ross has taken action, Gatsby cannot ignore it.

Gatsby dribbled the ball for half court, Bogut came up to sue me for a pick-and-roll, Rose wanted to squeeze through, Gatsby did it like a trick, and also came with a fake pick-and-roll and slipped past, Noah stood at the free throw line with all his claws and claws, trying to get out of the way to scare Gatsby away.

As expected, Gatsby retreated, but he stepped back to the three-point line, pulled up and shot before Rose could get around Bogut, and the three-pointer came back!

Madison Square Garden became a sea of ​​joy.

Today, Gatsby almost always uses a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, because most teams will not take the initiative to adjust before Gatsby hits them with a three-pointer. Centers follow the defensive pick-and-roll method of this era. Come to defend—shrink inside and wait for the opponent to break through, which is called the method of waiting for a rabbit.

For Gatsby, who has peak Curry's shooting ability, this defensive method is a big gift for the New Year, and not shooting him is simply a big gift bag for his opponent.

De Nagro frowned, which seemed to be a common expression of Gatsby's opponent's coach-because Gatsby is a type that has never appeared in NBA history.

LeBron James is strong enough, but the beast forward is not without experience;

Derrick Rose is fast enough, there were faster and more violent point guards before;
These NBA coaches have enough ways to deal with them, because there are some established cases to be based on, but this is the first time I have seen a player like Gatsby.

In the 1979-80 season, the NBA officially announced the introduction of the 7.25-meter three-point line into the league. It took about eight years for the three-pointer to become a regular tactic. After that, many three-point shooters emerged in the league.

Among the most famous shooters like Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Stojakovic and Kapono, most of their three-pointers are open three-pointers or fixed-point shots. The advanced one is to run without the ball, catch the ball and shoot immediately.

However, it is the first time that Gatsby's shooting with the ball and super long-distance shooting have appeared in the league. Players with the same style of play, this is what makes Gatsby scary.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors does not have this style of play yet, because he is not yet the leader of the team, and he will be reprimanded for playing like this.

So for these coaches, defending Gatsby has become a new topic.

According to the previous defense, we can only allow Gatsby to break records every game, but if adjustments are to be made, the team's defensive range must be expanded by 25%. This range is enough to completely update the current defensive concept. It is a system, and one move affects the whole body. If you want to defend against Gatsby, you need to make all-round adjustments to the entire defense. This kind of adjustment cannot be adjusted in a short time, nor is there a theory to base it on. , but you have to try it again and again to know the effect.

This process may take one game, or ten games, or one season, or even several seasons, and it may not be effective. After all, Gatsby is a real person, and he is an extremely adaptable player. What strains will be made.

But it doesn’t work. It’s not the first time the Bulls have played against the Knicks. The last time the new rookie Gatsby scored 38 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, and this time they met again. Gatsby, Coach DeNagro found that Gatsby has evolved again!

This is how to do ah?

The key is that not only has Gatsby evolved, but their defense, which was considered a piece of shit, has also evolved. This Knicks has made DeNagro feel unfamiliar.

There is no way but to make changes. We can't let Gatsby throw more than a dozen three-pointers on their heads.

Before the Bulls' defensive strategy had time to change, the Knicks' defense changed first-under D'Antoni's gesture, the Knicks blocked Rose with all their strength!

Gatsby on the outside line oppressed Rose to dribble, drove Rose to the flank, and then the flank players pinched, and the center guarded the last line of defense!
Under such a defensive strategy, the Bulls also responded with a few cuts, but they made more turnovers. As a second-year pick, Rose's style of play is very mature, but no matter how mature he is, he is only a second-year player. Xiu, under the siege of the Knicks, made several mistakes, and under Gatsby's go-between, the Knicks' ability to catch mistakes and fight back is daunting. Rose's four mistakes allowed the Knicks to score 9 points!
Half the time, 10:20!The Knicks led by 10 points.

The two sides entered the rotation time.

Both Gatsby and Rose led the team on the court. For the Knicks, Chandler replaced Bogut, Chris Duhon replaced Larry Hughes, and Gatsby switched to shooting guard.

For the Bulls, Noah and Luol Deng went down to rest, and Brad Miller and Tyrus Thomas were on board. Brad Miller's career has already begun to count down, his footsteps are slow, his help defense is not timely, and his defense against the inside is still slow What's more, they had to rush out of the three-point line to help defend. Under Gatsby's attack, the Bulls' defense collapsed across the board, and the Knicks were in full bloom!
De Nagro only hated that there were too few timeouts, and he couldn't call seven or eight timeouts in one quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks had already led by 16 points!
