the great gatsby

Chapter 213 Murderous Aura! (Fifth update! I have caught up, today is too busy!)

The visiting team first introduced the away game. When the Eagles entered the field, the fans just applauded politely and even booed quite a bit. This is the practice in the NBA. Very few visiting teams are immune to booing, especially in away games. .

When the Knicks came out, the audience cheered, especially when Gatsby was the last to appear, the audience was thunderous, and the cheers reached a climax.

"Gatsby, we all believe in you, you are our hero!" A little girl in the front row formed a megaphone with her hands and shouted at Gatsby.

Gatsby smiled.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" Before the game even started, some fans started shouting, and more and more people's voices gathered together, finally converging into a wave of voices sweeping Madison Square Garden.

Gatsby smiled silently, but his heart was full of huge waves. For the sake of these lovely fans, he must defeat these invading enemies tonight!
Gatsby habitually looked at the first row, and sure enough Spike Lee was standing there looking at him, seeing Gatsby looking over, Spike Lee shouted: "Gatsby, put down the burden, we all believe in you, You are the best, we have a lot of time for you to grow, don't worry, we will support you!"

Gatsby walked over to hug this lovely die-hard fan, and the game was about to start. Gatsby returned to the bench, drinking water while adjusting his mental state.

There are no changes to the starting lineups for either side:

The Hawks' starting lineup is: Al Horford, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Gatsby, Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Martin, Wilson Chandler, Andrew Bogut.

Bogut won the jump ball this time. Gatsby caught the ball and passed directly to the frontcourt. Bibby wanted to squeeze Gatsby with his body like he did in the previous two games. Gatsby stopped at the logo. Bogut went up to the logo for the pick-and-roll. Horford was a little hesitant to go up. It would be too much of a disadvantage to flank near the logo. As soon as Gatsby's ball came out, the Hawks were almost full of holes. Horford stopped at the three-point line. Not moving anymore.

Gatsby is not welcome, he has already risked everything, if he loses this game, the Knicks will go fishing, there is no hesitation at this time, he sticks to Bogut to get rid of Bibby, and then leaves three If the line is more than one meter away, just pull it up and shoot!
"Hey! Gatsby really dared to throw it, he dared to shoot from such a long distance... Hey, he really dared to go in!" Director Zhang exclaimed.

"Excellent! I explained Gatsby's dozens of games in a season, and found a pattern. The more Gatsby dared to shoot, the higher his shooting percentage. The more he shot ultra-long three-pointers, the number of his hits According to statistics, Gatsby made 340 three-pointers in the regular season this season, averaging 4.2 three-pointers per game, and 35 three-pointers over 38 feet!
It's worth mentioning that Gatsby made 60.7 percent of those [-]-pointers.

Statistics show that Gatsby's ultra-long three-point scoring efficiency has reached 1.82 points per shot, and according to Haberstroh's research, the league's average dunk scoring efficiency this season is also 1.82 points per shot.Gatsby's ultra-long three-point scoring efficiency is even equal to the dunk!What a terrifying efficiency this is! "Yang Yi exclaimed.

Mike Woodson's intuition told him that there was trouble tonight, because he saw murder in Gatsby's face!
This ultra-long three-pointer is just the beginning. The next Bogut will still go up to the logo to pick and roll. Horford does not believe in evil and still steps on the three-point line to defend. Vote and hit!
Madison Square Garden seemed to be blown up, and there was a burst of sound waves. The bewildered expressions of Kevin Martin gradually became firm. After two consecutive three-pointers by Gatsby, Martin, Bogut, Gary The Nalleys are no longer depressed, and the fanatical atmosphere at home has gradually inspired their morale.

Joe Johnson made a mid-range shot for the Hawks. Gatsby didn't wait for the Hawks to slowly settle down, and directly held the ball across the half court. Bogut didn't even fall into position, and just passed the halfway line. Coming out, he defended two steps away from the three-point line. In this position, he couldn't guard against Gatsby. Gatsby made a change of direction and missed Horford and went straight to the basket. Joe Johnson and Josh Smith rushed over to pinch Gatsby Bi, but it takes time to shrink from such a long distance. Gatsby evaded the block in the air and succeeded in a backhand layup!

Gates scored 8 points in a row!
Coach Woodson quickly called a timeout. The score was not much behind, but the Hawks were suppressed in terms of momentum. As a coach who was born as a player and has coached for many years, he knows how important momentum is in the game. Now the Knicks have When the momentum started, he had to interrupt it, rearrange his tactics, and try to get the initiative back.

Gates, who made a layup, had a murderous look on his face, which made Josh Smith beside him startled. This young man is so competitive!

Back from the timeout, Josh Smith made an air cut layup and scored two points for the Eagles, but Gatsby did not stop his performance. It was still a super high pick-and-roll. Horford finally intercepted Gatsby at the three-point line. But Bogut, who was running down, really had no way to stop him. He could only rely on his teammates to intercept. The Eagles' two wing strikers could only shrink. Throwing the ball from the bottom corner of the right wing, this ball can be said to be a bold man with high skills. He was able to find a gap between the two to find Gallinari. Gallinari pulled it up and shot, and the Italian artillery exploded Ring, Gallinari, who had been silent for two games, finally made another shot!

It just feels different when you come home!
"Beautiful pass! Four consecutive pick-and-rolls by Gatsby and Bogut at the logo made the Hawks' defense riddled with holes. When defending like a pick-and-roll at the logo, the center only needs to stay one step inside the three-point line. Just wait for the defender to break inside, but Gatsby used two super long three-pointers to tell the Hawks that it would not work to let him there, so Horford could only leave his territory to take risks, so he was missed by Gatsby. A layup and an assist revitalized the overall situation. Unless the Hawks give up guarding Gatsby's long three-pointer, their current defense will be broken. The stumbling block they prepared for Gatsby in the last two games has lost its effect. Now it’s up to Coach Woodson to deal with it!” Yang Yi said excitedly.
