the great gatsby

Chapter 198 Mayo!

The first graders play strictly according to Gatsby's tactics. Anyway, it is a fast break. DeJuan and Gibson desperately protect the defensive rebound. Once they grab the rebound, they immediately launch a fast break. Gatsby is a top point guard. The deployment of the first-year students was aggressive. Once the second-year students missed a hit, they would be greeted with a counterattack like a storm. By 7 minutes, the first-year students had pulled the score to 10 points. The increase made the score of the two sides also very high, 25:15.

Curry replaced Gatsby, and Gatsby returned to the bench to watch the game. In 7 minutes, he scored 9 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and [-] steals. related to him.

The two sides came off the bench, and the intensity dropped. Because Rose was absent, only Gordon was off, and OJ-Mayo was on. Curry was not easy to defend Westbrook, and Westbrook ran after Gatsby. He played very aggressively, constantly attacking the inside line of the first-year students.

It was only at this time that Curry admired Gatsby's defensive skills. He liked Gatsby's extremely gorgeous three-pointers and combing the spirituality of the offense. He didn't feel anything when he saw Gatsby suppressing Westbrook. The problem is that he doesn't know the pressure until he defends himself. This allows him to know the gap between him and Gatsby. This gap is not only the ball, but all aspects. He sorts out the offensive aspects by himself His abilities are definitely not as good as Gatsby's, his rhythm control is not as good as his, and his defense is not as good as him now. The gap is a bit big!Curry sighed.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides tied, and the fans on the scene were mesmerized. They had never seen such a big rookie challenge, especially when Gatsby was on the court, although the first-year team seemed to be playing enthusiastically. Quick, but not chaotic, when Gatsby pushed himself, he cut through the sophomore defense like a scalpel, sliced ​​them to pieces, and then took the opportunity to send an assist. Seven minutes on the court , has sent 7 assists, this efficiency is very scary.

Some people are even more surprised, because the first-year rookie's possession of the ball is very concentrated, almost in Gatsby's hands, playing with Gatsby as the core, which is very difficult to see in the rookie game. The game is not an All-Star game. They know the size of the stars in the All-Star game, so when a bigger star is on the court, he will unconsciously have more possession of the ball, or the players at home will It is relatively common to get more possession of the ball, but rookies rarely have these rules. More often, whoever gets the ball can play. After all, they are young people, and they all like to perform, and there is no identity between them. It's high and low, so the rookie game has always looked chaotic and unorganized.

But the appearance of Gatsby changed this situation. Gatsby is obviously different from ordinary rookies. His achievements are definitely beyond the category of rookies. Afraid, take the initiative to play games around Gatsby.

Perhaps Gatsby will become ordinary in the All-Star Game. After all, there are almost all the most popular stars gathered there, and the stars are shining there. Even if Gatsby is dazzling now, he is just one of them.

But in the Rookie Challenge, Gatsby is the most shining star, not only his fame, but more importantly, his outstanding performance on the court. As long as he is on the court, he is the most attractive person .

Curry continued to be on the court in the second quarter, and Dantley put Gatsby on the court. He wanted to see what sparks Curry and Gatsby, two guards with very similar styles, could create when they were on the court.

Curry happily came over and shook hands with Gatsby. Gatsby smiled. In his previous life, he was actually a fan of Gatsby. This is why Gatsby immediately chose Curry’s skills, even though it was a three-pointer. Among the skills, Curry's skills are the most powerful, but if you choose Klay Thompson's three-point skills, it is not impossible. It is difficult to tell who is better in three-pointers, Klay Thompson or Curry.

He could fully feel Curry's kindness towards him. Curry was a particularly good person, but he was not so enthusiastic towards everyone. Gatsby was also quite happy to gain the friendship of his idol in his previous life.

Westbrook played a full quarter in the first quarter, and was not there at the beginning of the second quarter. Mayo came to face Gatsby. In high school, Mayo was so favored by others. Unbelievable, but it was a very suitable description for him at that time. This sentence is like this: "Wade's lightning speed, James' strong body, Kobe's dexterity, Nash's passing, Iverson's breakthrough" .

Is it unbelievable, but at that time he was indeed omnipotent, because his height was very high at an early age. At the age of 13, he was already 193cm. His opponents were children of the same age as him, but he The height looks like an adult bullying a child.

When he went to college, his shortcomings were exposed: average talent, short height to play shooting guard, lack of overall view and decision-making ability of point guard, after the freshman season, his draft pick It slipped from the No. [-] pick to the top ten, but is Mayo bad? Of course not.

Foresight to practice long-range shots from NBA distances, good dribbling ability and ball feel, skilled skills, wide vision, and qualified passing ability. As a shooting guard, this is qualified, but everyone knows that it is not top. He's a qualified NBA player, but wants to be a star -- not enough.

But it is not easy for Gatsby to defend him, because although Mayo is not tall, he is too strong, with a full weight of 95.3kg!

So although Mayo's first step was not fast enough, but relying on good dribbling and skilled offensive skills, Gatsby actually felt that defending him was much more difficult than defending Westbrook. In fact, this matchup was a misplacement. Cibido is a point guard, while Mayo is mainly a shooting guard, but now he can only defend, otherwise can you count on Curry to defend?
In the matchup, Gatsby felt unprecedentedly difficult. Although he has Gary Payton's defensive skills, his weight is 12kg behind Mayo's. He is only 83kg at full strength. When he is a player of this weight, he can use his speed and footwork to deal with them, because he is likely to be a power forward or a small forward. Gatsby was very depressed!

　I have returned to Shenzhen and will start updating normally tomorrow. I spent almost half of the two days on the road, but it was worth it to see my mother very happy. I wish your mothers will always be healthy and beautiful!
