Chapter 197 Leadership Temperament!

The second-year show last year's rookie challenge was well trampled by the second-year students at the time. They don't want to be defeated by the first-year rookies when they become second-year students. If they are defeated, they will lose face. Rookies are defeated, sophomores are also defeated, how useless they are!So after Ewing made some arrangements, their defensive strength and offensive organization also became purposeful. After all, they were the best rookies in 08, so when they got serious, they broke out with considerable combat effectiveness. Time draws the first-year lead closer.

Dantley didn't make any adjustments. He just called a timeout and let the rookies adjust themselves. Seeing that Dantley didn't mean any adjustments, Gatsby understood what Dantley meant. He directly took the tactics plate.

"DeJuan, I need you to cover all the defensive rebounds, is that okay?" Gatsby asked.

De Juan is not like a rookie, he is very strong, he is active on both ends of the offense and defense, but he has no range, but he is very talented in rebounding, whether it is defensive or offensive, he can scramble On the rebound, Gatsby asked DeJuan to rebound to let him do what he does best.

De Juan patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, leave it to me, not only that, I will also fight for offensive rebounds!" After several cooperations, De Juan liked playing with Gatsby very much. Gatsby will have a lot of opportunities to play. His shortcoming of not being good at long-range shooting is not a shortcoming for Gatsby. Instead, he has demonstrated his athletic ability to the fullest. If the coach can see this game, then after returning Coaches may value him.

Gatsby nodded, looked at Evans, and said with a smile: "Tyreke, I don't know if you can't go down after we grab the rebound, don't hesitate, just go down, okay?"

Tyreke Evans glanced at Coach Dantley, hesitated, and nodded. This is also a good thing for him, because he can get more offensive opportunities.

The reason why Gatsby let Evans play quickly is that in this kind of mob game, although everyone is one of the hundreds of people who can play basketball most in the world, and they can play their respective roles, but in terms of tacit understanding , but it’s out of the question, so Gatsby simply stays on the ground and just pushes the speed. This style of play is applicable when some temporary teams play games. Once the attack starts, the result of the game will be the same.

"Tai and Omega mainly defend well, and if there is no way to play a fast break and have to go down the field, you should open up the space and shoot decisively when you have the opportunity to catch the ball. Don't hesitate, is that okay?" Gatsby Looking at the two of them with a smile, looking too fierce will bring pressure to people, in fact, being too handsome will actually bring pressure to people, Gibson and Cassby feel the pressure doubled under Gatsby's deep eyes , nodded quickly.

Gatsby clapped his hands happily, and said loudly: "That's good, let's fight these arrogant old birds together, and let them know that we are not easy to bully!" He raised his right hand, and the others quickly raised their hands Leaning over, Gatsby said, "We must win!"

The others said together: "We must win!" For a while, the momentum was like a rainbow!

Durant looked a little complicated. He saw pure leadership in Gatsby. Even the rookies of this temporary combination can be kneaded together. Such a player is probably a good player even as a coach, because he There is a charismatic personality that can convince people. You must know which of these rookies is not a proud and arrogant person. If Tyreke Evans and Jennings hadn't met Gatsby, they would have been placed In previous years, they were likely to win the honor of the best rookie. Such a player was under Gatsby's command, and they agreed to Gatsby's command without any objection. If it is not Gatsby's Charm, but Durant didn't believe it. If it were someone else, no matter how great he was, these rookies would not obey the command of a rookie.

Durant looked at Westbrook, who was jumping up and down on the opposite side, and he sighed lowly. He and Westbrook started to cooperate last season. Westbrook had shown great potential last season, but The shortcoming of being prone to fever has always troubled Durant, thinking that he will improve in the second season, but now it seems that the improvement is not much!
Game back.

First-year team possession.

Gatsby held the ball to observe, DeJuan tasted a jumper, and took the initiative to go up to help Gatsby pick and roll, Gatsby could do nothing, sticking to DeJuan to get rid of Westbrook, Love was a little at a loss, he didn't go up to cover Ciby can shoot, and DeJuan will do whatever he wants inside. Love hesitated so much, and Gatsby rushed over and passed the ball to Gibson who copied the back door. At this time, Gibson flew into the sky and escaped from the ground, and immediately took off the moment he caught the ball, Gallinari quickly dodged, and Gibson dunked successfully!

"Wow!!!! Another wonderful assist. The second-year rookie can't stop Gatsby at all. Kevin Love panicked when facing Gatsby and DeJuan's pick-and-roll. He didn't know how to defend. Once Gatsby breaks through, the second grader's inner line will be empty, and Gatsby can do too many things!" McBrin said loudly.

The sophomore's ball finally returned to Westbrook's injury. He is a point guard after all. Under Ewing's reminder, they also gave the ball to Westbrook to handle. Westbrook didn't insist on attacking himself this time. , but passed to Gordon, and then saw the opportunity to cut in. Gordon gave the ball to Beasley who received the ball in the low post. Beasley is definitely not only a top offensive player, he also has a good pass Ability, a ground pass to Westbrook who came in from an air cut, Westbrook was overjoyed, he was about to catch the ball and then came up, the moment he just caught the ball, his hand hurt, the ball was cut off, Westbrook didn’t need it Seeing that he knew it was Gatsby, the thief, he rushed to grab the floor ball. Gatsby controlled the ball one step ahead of him. Westbrook was about to pounce on Gatsby to interfere with Gatsby's advance, but Gatsby was a long passer. The ball is thrown.

Westbrook turned his head and saw that there was already a running back in the frontcourt, and that was Tyreke Evans!
"How is it possible? Why did he make a fast break so quickly? Doesn't he need to participate in defense?" Westbrook was a little surprised.

Evans, of course, participated in the defense. As soon as he saw Gatsby cut Westbrook's ball, he took the opportunity to move a few steps forward. If Westbrook grabbed the ball, he would come back to defend. Gatsby controlled the ball, and the few steps he moved would make it impossible for Gordon to catch up. After all, Evans' speed was not due to him.

Evans ran a few strides and turned around. Gatsby's ball fell just a few steps ahead of him. Evans ran over to catch the ball and made a layup!

"What a pass!!!" This is the second time Jeff Van Gundy said such words tonight, and Gatsby's pass made him pleasing to the eye, so he said it without hesitation.
