the great gatsby

Chapter 214 Life and death battle!
How does Coach Woodson adjust?

When a basketball commentator wrote an article after the game and wrote this paragraph, he described it like this:

"Coach Woodson made an extremely strange decision today. From the very beginning of the game, Gatsby pushed the ball forward with Bogut's pick-and-roll at the logo, and the old Eagles Mike Bibby desperately circled the best pick-and-roller in the league. One of Bogut's pick-and-rolls, while Horford received the three-point line and waited for Gatsby's breakthrough.

'Please vote! 'The attitude of the eagle is probably like this.

Gatsby has always been daring, and he will create opportunities to shoot some ultra-long three-pointers that seem to be far-fetched without a chance, not to mention leaving him so much space for him to play arbitrarily-so Gatsby made it at 35 feet. The local hit two ultra-long-range three-pointers.

After that, Horford couldn't bear it any longer. He pounced on the big delay Gatsby twice in a row, but in the arms of Gatsby, he rushed to the basket and backhanded a layup, and the other passed directly from the right wing to Gallinari in the lower left corner. , Lunyi Gaoren is bold, Gatsby is the only one, the ball crosses the heads of many people, and then Gallinari is resurrected. In the previous two games, he made a total of 12 of 2 shots.

Then Horford never came out again. What Coach Woodson thought might be:
Let him shoot, Horford can't go out, once he goes out, there will be no one to guard the inside;
We can't mess up the defense. Containing the Knicks' overall momentum is the key. How can we shoot deadly three-pointers? We used to do this. Reggie Miller of the Pacers used to be very accurate in three-pointers, and I haven't seen him. There is nothing scary about winning the championship, so let him vote.

于是结果我们知道了，盖慈比季后赛单场11个三分，全场拿下42分10助攻3篮板2抢断。

Before that, how many people were able to get 9 three-pointers in the playoffs:

——Rex Chapman, role player, three-pointers are undoubtedly an important item in Chapman's arsenal, with an average of 3.5 three-pointers per game in his career. In the 1997 playoffs, in the Suns' first game against the Sonics in the first round, Chapman was fully fired, making 22 of 12 shots, hitting 9 three-pointers and scoring 42 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

——文斯-卡特，2001年东部半决赛中，猛龙和76人相遇。在两支球队的第三场较量中，卡特全场29投19中，命中9记三分拿到了50分6篮板7助攻4盖帽。

——Ray Allen, the three-point champion in NBA history. Ray Allen has twice hit 9 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs. They are:

2001年东部决赛，在G6中，雷阿伦出战43分钟，25投12中，命中9记三分拿到41分2篮板4助攻3抢断。

2009年季后赛首轮，在双方的G6中，雷阿伦全场32投18中，命中9记三分拿到51分5篮板3助攻3抢断。

Except for these three, no one else can hit more than 9 three-pointers in the playoffs, and Gatsby hit 11 and three-pointers in this game, and all of a sudden the three-pointers in the playoffs Record improved by two!

This is the fulfillment of coach Mike Woodson. The reason why the Hawks made such a choice is partly because the Hawks do not have the ability to attack from such a high position as mentioned above. As long as they go up, the inside will inevitably leak;
The other half may be that Coach Woodson experienced the Knicks' crazily hitting three-pointers in the last two games, so he probably thought at that time: Just keep the inside line, and outside shots can't kill people.

In the end, he was beaten to death by Gatsby! "

In fact, Coach Woodson did not only use shrinking. Later, he also tried to have Josh Smith switch to guard Bogut, let Josh go up to the high post to double-team Gatsby, or asked Joe Johnson to guard Gatsby, or even asked Jayson to guard Gatsby. Futiger went to guard Gatsby, but it was of no use. If he flanked Gatsby from a high position inside, he would break through. As long as he broke through, the defensive line would be riddled with holes.

Joe Johnson has a strong body, but he is not as flexible as Gatsby. Once Joe Johnson defends, Gatsby will give up holding the ball and directly get into the crowd and make two circles to get rid of Joe Johnson.

As for Jeff Teague, a rookie of the same year as Gatsby, his speed is indeed fast, but he is too young to defend Gatsby. Jeff Teague received two fouls on Gatsby and obediently went down to rest. I dare not have a temper at all.

You really can’t blame Mike Woodson’s strategy for this result. As a defensive coach, Mike Woodson knows how to face various teams and players to formulate defensive strategies, but Gatsby played like this , um, see you for the first time!

After the game, there was no peace in Madison Square Garden. All the fans were standing and watching the game, and they were no longer willing to sit down. As long as Gatsby made a three-pointer, no matter whether he made it or not, it would cause a lot of trouble. Thunderous applause and cheers.

At the end, there was only one sentence in these people's minds: Mom sells batches!

No wonder they yelled shit, you can see how Gatsby played today:
——For the first three-pointer, Bogut made a 36-foot long-distance three-pointer with the logo pick-and-roll, and the same is true for the second one;

——In the third logo pick-and-roll, Horford went up, and then Gatsby rushed to the basket for a layup, and the fourth one was about the same;

——The third three-pointer was when Joe Johnson switched to guard Gatsby. Gatsby went around the crowd, going left and right, carelessly moving around like a swimming fish, and then went around two steps to the top of the arc, with the help of Bogut's Screen, catch and shoot, hit!The fourth three-pointer, the seventh three-pointer, and the tenth three-pointer are about the same.

——For the rest of the three-pointers, there are singles and retreat hits, there are small-scale cooperation and then a little gap shot, and there are tentative steps after receiving the ball and direct shots.

Today's Gatsby is roughly the textbook of three-point shooting. He will show you almost all three-point scoring methods!
At the end of Yang Yi's commentary, he was a little numb, and later commented on the game in his book "The Great Gatsby":
"Before this game, I have explained with Director Zhang the first two games between the Hawks and the Knicks. How difficult the first two games were for the Knicks. I will tell you a little bit first, because if I don't make it clear, I will With how tough the Knicks were before this, you just can't understand how great this game was.

In the first two games, the Hawks adopted a strategy of mindlessly flanking Gatsby, absolutely denying Gatsby the chance to hold the ball and take shots, and forcing Gatsby to hand over the ball to others. They jointly defeated Gatsby. When you are isolated, you will get as many points as you love others.

But in those two games, other people did not give Gatsby much help. They ran around like headless flies. In the life and death battle of Sri Lanka, if you lose the series, you will basically be gone, and if you win, you will be able to regain your vitality! "
