the great gatsby

Chapter 212

Chapter 2 is either stupid or bad!

Falling behind by a big score of 0:2, the Knicks have reached the most difficult time. If they fail in the third game, there is basically no room for turning around. When falling behind by 0:3, there is no example in the history of the league that can be reversed .So it's either Game [-] or it's the end of this year's playoffs.

This is not the only problem. The blow to the Knicks players from the 0:2 deficit is the biggest problem. The morale of the Knicks players is extremely low. Some players even feel that this year's playoff journey can only stop here .

Coach D'Antoni continued to boost morale, but the effect was not too great. He was very anxious, but he didn't have much to do, and he was especially worried about Gatsby. The Knicks could lose the series and enter the playoffs this season It's already a big surprise, and it's normal to lose the game, but Gatsby's spirit can't be lost, they still have to build a team around Gatsby!

D'Antoni specifically discussed with James Dolan and Donnie Walsh. After several discussions, they invited Gatsby to the office for a discussion, not to win the game, but to cheer Gatsby up.

When Gatsby arrived at James Dolan's office, the entire office was already filled with smoke. Gatsby smiled and said, "Are you cultivating immortals?"

D'Antoni was stunned: "Cultivation?"

Gatsby laughed and said, "Chinese legend, I mean you've made your office smoky, ha, give me one."

James Dolan was relieved when he saw that Gatsby could still laugh. He wanted to trade Gatsby before, but the bigger Gatsby was, the better. He was glad that he did not trade away the future of the team. The biggest surprise of the season was getting Gatsby. As for Gatsby’s poor performance in the playoffs, it was normal for James Dolan. After all, he was still a rookie. The data, in the eyes of James Dolan, is already very remarkable.

Losing the series is nothing. Anyway, in his opinion, this season is just like this. Playing one more round of the series will earn more money. Money is important, but the future is more important. The team has reached this level, to be honest, James Dolan already wants to hug Gatsby and kiss him hard.

Gatsby lit up the cigar happily, took a deep puff, and let the smoke flow in his mouth. The mellow fragrance was refreshing. Gatsby sighed, he really enjoyed it.

"Boss, are you calling me here to criticize me?" Gatsby laughed.

James Dolan quickly shook his hand: "No, no, you have played very well. How can I be willing to criticize such an outstanding player."

Donny Walsh walked to Gatsby's side and sat down, put his arms around Gatsby's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I called you here to help with the summer reinforcements, so you don't have to worry about this season. .”

Gatsby smiled half-heartedly and said, "Wow! Donnie, what's wrong with you? You're trying to comfort me!"

D'Antoni hurriedly said: "That's not what it means. Of course, we still have to try our best to win the game, but future planning is still very necessary!"

Gatsby smiled, put the cigar lightly on the ashtray, straightened his back, looked around, and said seriously: "Boss, manager, and coach, thank you for your concern, I I know that you are afraid that I will be under too much pressure, and I am very grateful for your concern.

However, the series has just begun, let alone other things, but I must win the home game. "

Donny Walsh hesitated to speak.

Gatsby smiled: "Manager, don't worry, I have my reasons. In the two games we lost to the Eagles, what they did was to reduce my holding the ball and force me to give the ball to others, but our other People don't take their chances, that's why we lose.

The next two games are our home games. How can I never believe that our players can't seize these simple scoring opportunities at our own home court?

As long as they can seize a few rounds, the Hawks will have to change their strategy. This is where my confidence lies. Of course, I will strengthen my personal offense. Whether it is Bibby or Horford who switches defenses, I will make them pay the price. ! ’ Gatsby’s eyes shone coldly.

Gatsby faced too much criticism. He knew that this was the inevitable development of the Internet age. If he played well, there would be overwhelming criticism. This is the only way for a star in the Internet age. But Gatsby still felt uncomfortable, he must get it back this time!

D'Antoni said: "That's what I said, but the morale of the team is low now, and it's not easy to motivate it in a short time. It's too difficult to win the game in this state."

Gatsby shook his head: "The home court is the home court after all. There are cheers from the fans at the home game. I believe it will change naturally when we are on the court. As long as we play well, the morale will naturally emerge."

James Dolan said: "Just try your best. As long as you still have fighting spirit, we can rest assured that you are not influenced by the outside world. We are afraid that you will be criticized too much and lead to letting go. This is what we are most afraid of seeing. "

Gatsby laughed and said, "Am I so fragile in your eyes?"

Donnie Walsh said with a smile: "After all, you are only 19 years old. In our eyes, you are still a child. We were still wandering around when you were your age. Don't say that you have suffered so much criticism. Sometimes my parents scold me, and I will be sad for a few days."

Gatsby was actually very grateful in his heart. As the owner of the team, with a huge fortune, the general manager of the Donny Walsh team, with a high position and authority, and the coach of the D'Antoni team, these three people kept their promises. Although it was because of the team's reasons to care about his psychological feelings, it also made Gatsby feel grateful.

The third game was held at Madison Square Garden as scheduled. There is still a long time before the game. There are already many fans in Madison Square Garden. After all, it is the New York Knicks. Although this is only the first round of the game, ESPN still broadcasts the game live .

"To be honest, Gatsby's performance in the first two games is quite disappointing. Although the statistics are not bad, other stars can average 20 points and 10 assists in the playoffs. It's a very good stat, but it's not enough for Gatsby, because his previous performance has made his fans picky.

In addition, the team lost two games in a row, which caused Gatsby to receive a lot of criticism. Here I must defend Gatsby. Anyone who has watched the game knows how the Eagles took care of Gatsby. , as soon as Gatsby gets the ball, the Eagles will have at least two people flanking Gatsby, and sometimes even three people to flank Gatsby, just to prevent Gatsby from connecting the team and forcing Gatsby to hand over the ball. I don’t know if there is another star in the league who can score 20 points and 10 assists under such a double attack, but Gatsby did it. The loss is not only Gatsby’s responsibility, but also the head coach and others. Teammates, why do you want to put all the blame on Gatsby?

As far as I'm concerned, Gatsby's people are either stupid or bad, nothing else. "Jeff Van Gundy was not afraid of offending people, so he just sprayed it out.
