the great gatsby

Chapter 185 Great victory!

Back from intermission.

D'Antoni made adjustments and put McGrady on the starting lineup. Gatsby, Kevin Martin, Andrew Bogut and Gallinari were on the court, and the Thunder were all on the court.

Working with Gatsby, McGrady found that his space became wider again. He and Martin roamed on the flanks. Gatsby and Bogut picked and rolled at high positions. Playing relaxed, happy and highly efficient, McGrady suddenly understood that it is also possible to change his own style of play.

Under the leadership of Gatsby, the Knicks were in full bloom, opening up the score in the middle of the quarter and regaining a 10-point lead.

Gatsby played very comfortably. McGrady and Martin's ability to seize easy shots is excellent. Compared with Wilson Chandler and Larry Hughes, they are at least one level better, because of McGrady and Martin's containment, Gatsby's space is much better. He can even go to the basket for a layup. Once the opponent pinches, he can give the ball to McGrady and Martin who are emptied. The two will not let him down. assists.

In three quarters, Gatsby's assists reached 14, and his efficiency was frighteningly high.

Madison Square Garden is not quiet anymore, this Knicks team is simply amazing, the offense is like quicksilver, and on the defensive end, although McGrady and Martin's wings are weaker than when Larry Hughes and Wilson Chandler are on the court , but with Bogut and Tyson Chandler inside to supplement the defense, it is not a paper defense that can be broken in one stab.

D'Antoni was quite surprised. After McGrady put down his superstar style of play, he actually had such an obvious chemical reaction with Gatsby. D'Antoni has always been dissatisfied with the performance of the Knicks small forward on the offensive end. Wilson Chandler can provide help on the defensive end, but the offensive end can only be used as a space point. The arrival of McGrady adds a link, which is why Gatsby feels relaxed.

After half a quarter of the fourth quarter, the Thunder withdrew, because the score was too far behind. In three and a half quarters, the score was 75:96, 21 points, so Coach Brooks simply raised the white flag to admit defeat.

凯文杜兰特拿下35分3助攻6篮板，威斯布鲁克拿下18分7助攻6篮板，詹姆斯哈登替补上场拿到了11分3助攻3篮板，雷霆三少的表现都不错，但是却输掉了比赛。

因为尼克斯这边的表现更好，凯文马丁全场拿下21分2助攻3篮板，麦迪全场拿下31分2助攻4篮板，盖慈比全场拿下28分18助攻3篮板3抢断。

After the game, Knicks fans were reluctant to leave for a long time. They excitedly discussed with each other the two signings that made the Knicks advance by leaps and bounds. They believed that these two signings were the key to the Knicks' rise. In this year's playoffs, the Knicks not only have You might get in, and you might get good results.

McGrady and Martin both attended the post-match press conference. The two of them performed very well today. Although McGrady struggled when leading the team alone, the final result was good, wasn't it? The high score of 31 points, even when McGrady was at his peak, could not be won every game.

When the reporter asked about McGrady, McGrady pondered for a while and replied:
"Of course I am very happy to get this data, but this is not due to me alone. I want to thank one person, the leader of our team... yes, Gatsby, he is a well-deserved leader. I will support him with all my strength. I must thank him. He has been helping me with the ball, helping me create opportunities for misalignment, and giving me the ball in time when I was emptied. He is selfless and open-minded. He was a rookie and I made a formal apology for belittling him.

The Knicks are great, I feel respected here, the atmosphere in the locker room is great, Gatsby is a great person, very enthusiastic, I think my career will have a new start with the Knicks! "

Reporters were surprised by McGrady's attitude. Before McGrady came to the Knicks, he once said that he would lead the Knicks forward and become a superstar again. In the first game, McGrady did have the highest score on the team, but according to McGrady's words What it means is that he actively recognized Gatsby as the leader of the team. What happened during this period?
"The game will not lie, I got 30+ today, yes, it looks like I am still so good, in fact, only I know, my state still needs to recover, I played well when I led the team alone It was a struggle, but when Gatsby was on the court at the same time, I felt that the game could be so easy for the first time. I thought it might be because Gatsby is a better leader, and I can also change my way of playing. I want to play smarter than before!" McGrady said sincerely.

"Tracey is right, I also want to thank the coach, and I also want to thank Gatsby, he is the best point guard I have ever worked with, it is so comfortable to play next to him, he can't wait to put the ball lightly He even came to me when I couldn't make a shot, and he even asked me if his pass made me uncomfortable. God, in my previous experience, the point guard can pass the ball. It's hard to get it, but Gatsby is afraid that I won't be comfortable with it, which is unbelievable.

Gatsby is a very rare leader. I will not say such things as selflessness and dedication. He is. What I want to say is that he is attractive. I think this is his greatest strength. In the current league, I think he is alone in this ability. No one can match him. I think he can be called - Gravity! "Kevin Martin said.

Martin and McGrady praised Gatsby at the same time, which made the reporters very surprised. Is this rookie really so good? Why is the first thing to praise him after the arrival of the new aid?

Bogut is like this, Chandler is like this, Martin is like this now, and McGrady, who was a league superstar before the injury, is also like this. Gatsby's personality charm has reached this point?
