the great gatsby

Chapter 178: A Thunderstorm Blows Up!

But when De Nagro was proud of the evolution of his team and the maturity of young players, when he met the Knicks, the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, he realized that not only himself, but also the Knicks had improved. The progress of the Knicks has been more thorough and vigorous than theirs. To describe the changes in the Knicks, you have to use words such as reborn, turned upside down, and so on.

Because he watched helplessly that the team he trained was defeated by the Knicks led by that young man Gatsby in the basketball mecca of Madison Square Garden!

As a hardcore Knicks fan, Spike Lee can see every slight change in the Knicks, because he is so familiar with the team. In his own words: "My love for the Knicks Know, know more than I know about my assets!"

But now he is standing on the sidelines, after cheering wildly for the Knicks, he suddenly quieted down, because he felt that this Knicks team was too strange!

He later wrote in his memoirs: "That day was the day the Knicks came back from a series of away games, and they won all on the road. It was probably the longest winning streak we had in those years, about seven or eight games.

On the day of the game against Chicago, I felt keenly that this Knicks had changed, but I didn't expect that this change was so drastic, so drastic that it gave me a strange feeling.

The great Gatsby's excellence is naturally useless. His greatness has long been countless, and his nickname (The Great) has already explained all of this. Of course, he was still a great rookie at this time, not yet He is so great.

What makes me feel strange is the change of the whole team. On the surface, it is the change of the whole team on defense and multiple options on offense. (I have to say that the arrival of Bogut and Chandler is the greatest It is said that this signing was proposed by Gatsby, and it is indeed a great and great Gatsby! I have said this sentence 173 million times!) But at a deeper level, I was in the Knicks. Faith and hope are seen on the faces of the players.

Regarding this point, I later specifically consulted Gatsby and other players (you know, I still have many advantages on this point). Gatsby just smiled mysteriously, but Bogut’s statement seemed to reveal the truth.

Here's what he said: "Well... Faith and hope, I think so, before this, I was a selfish person, I just played for myself, so I didn't do very well in Milwaukee, you know, But after I got to the Knicks, I knew I was needed, I understood what responsibility is, what selflessness is... what made me understand, well, Gatsby, he is the answer to everything!"

The greatness of the Knicks began with Gatsby. Before Gatsby, we could only talk about the two poor champions of the Knicks and the return of Reed. It was not until Gatsby took over the Knicks that we could never forget the Knicks. Don't care and say, oh, the No. [-] giant in the NBA?Celtic?That was a long time ago. (Here I have to explain, of course we haven’t surpassed them yet, but it’s not far, isn’t it? As a coach, Gatsby has proved to us that his talent as a coach is greater than his talent as a player Better! Because as a player, he has to rely on his weak body, but as a coach, he only needs to rely on his strong brain.)
Having said so much, what I want to say is that that night, I saw the future of the Knicks, and today we naturally understand that that night is the moment of the rise of the great Knicks! "

The cheers at Madison Square Garden never stopped. The Knicks' changes made these fans stunned. The change was not sudden, but the series of away games made the Knicks fans miss the process of the Knicks' change, so they suddenly saw After reaching this point, they were stunned and speechless, and uncontrollable ecstasy surged out of their chests, and then unconsciously flowed to their mouths and throats, and when it came out, it became a roar that could reach the sky and the earth!

Over the years, the depression, anger, and hatred of the home team have all turned into roars and tears. There was a strange cry in the cheers of Madison Square Garden, and a large number of fans shed tears Crying and hissing.

Those fans who walked out of the house in the early hours of the morning to protest for Gatsby who was still away to warn James Dolan not to trade Gatsby thought happily while crying: "Gatsby didn't pay for everything I did after all." Gatsby is a trustworthy person, if not for him, all these changes would not have happened!"

De Nagro watched in dismay, under the crazy cheers of the home fans, slaughtering the rising Bulls, and the young players of the Bulls were also running on the court in a daze, only Derrick Rose was still there. Tirelessly hitting the Knicks' basket.

De Nagro sighed and waved off all the main players. The Knicks had already led by 25 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. start.

"This is a reborn Knicks. Tonight's performance is not a flash in the pan. Before this game, I have carefully studied the Knicks. Their defense has formed a system. As long as they continue to polish, their defense will shock everyone. The opponent's." After the game, de Nagro said of the Knicks.

Derrick Rose, who scored 23 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds in the away game today, seemed a little uneasy. The reporter did not let him go and asked him what he thought of Gatsby.

"Hmm...Gatsby? This is the second time I have played against him. He has evolved and is much stronger than the first time. Today he scored 26 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals. He is omnipotent, his scoring looks similar to mine, but I know that he is just more selfless, if he wants, he can look at 60 points or more!" Derrick Rose said, He seemed taken aback.

A reporter told Gatsby this, and Gatsby smiled and said, "You don't know how much I envy Derek's physical fitness, wind-like speed, amazing bounce, and steel-like will. I want to play like him, but look at me, I can't do it at all, as long as he consciously practice three-pointers, add some transition balls, I'm not his opponent at all, I mean it!"

No one believed this.
