the great gatsby

Chapter 221 Confrontation Stage!

The Knicks had the ball, Gatsby dribbled across half court, Wilson Chandler and Martin roamed on the left and right wings respectively, while Tyson Chandler and Bogut helped these two with endless screens, The Eagles were forced to run along, while Gatsby was holding the ball at the top of the arc to watch his teammates' running positions, ready to hit the ball or break through at any time.

The Hawks, who were forced to move, could not put all their energy on Gatsby, because Gatsby's pass was too sharp, and a Knicks player who was not careful and made an empty cut might receive Gatsby's pass. The pass goes directly to the basket.

The Eagles arranged a double attack on Gatsby, but they did not dare to take the initiative for a while, because as soon as they went up to the inside, they immediately missed someone. A double attack at this time is very dangerous.

Flanking pays attention to timing. It is ideal to attack when the offensive player is dribbling and breaking through, especially when the breakthrough is the most difficult. At this time, the offensive player's attention is on the ball, not on his teammates. Once the flanking, It is difficult for him to find a teammate for a while, and it is very easy to steal or be interfered with in a hasty shot or pass.

Gatsby stared at Bibby, and Bibby focused his weight on the center and sideways, which is a very standard way of defensive backs, but Gatsby didn't want to get into the encirclement of the Eagles, so he preferred to break through the middle. Breaking through with his right hand, he forced Bibby to step back. As soon as Bibby retreated, Gatsby changed direction and attacked Bibby's right foot again. Deron's left and right back and forth changes rely on the sense of rhythm, using the sense of rhythm to shake the opponent's center of gravity , and then choose the attack method according to the opponent's change.

Gatsby shook Bibby's center of gravity, stepped back to the three-point line, and leaned towards the basketball with his left hand. Bi leaned on his body, then adjusted his center of gravity and threw the ball towards the basket, regardless of whether he could get in or not, just throw it away, maybe it would be good luck.

Bibby tried his best to avoid Gatsby in the air, but he still couldn't dodge. At this time, there is no Harden's law, and this kind of ball can basically get three free throws.

"Beep beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, this is an unquestionable shooting foul.

There is an interesting thing about Harden's law. Because Harden has too many shots, the league specially promulgated the Harden Law to limit Harden's shots, and then implemented it for a season. Harden is still Harden, although it seems that there are fewer free throws. But that's because Paul went to the Rockets to share Harden's ball rights, and then looked at the league, and it was Westbrook who was most affected!

Bibby was very annoyed when he landed, and was about to appeal to the referee, but there was a low exclamation in the Phillips Arena. Bibby saw that Gatsby threw the ball casually and scored. It's over, it's not just three free throws , but 3+1!

"What a ball! Gatsby's skill in drawing fouls is also very good, but he seems to rarely use it. But it's no wonder that Bibi is easy to miss this ball. Firstly, it's because Gatsby's three-pointer is so accurate. He I have to interfere. Secondly, Bibby's physical strength has been exhausted. Once a person's physical strength declines, his judgment ability will be interfered with. When Gazibi shook him, Bibby should have been shaken without even thinking." Director Zhang said .

Gatsby made an extra free throw, and the point difference was narrowed to 2 points!
From the third quarter to Gatsby's goal, the Knicks played a wave of 13:0!

Fortunately, Joe Johnson stood up. He hit two consecutive mid-range shots to help the Eagles stop the bleeding, which also opened the prelude to the confrontation between the two sides.

The Eagles allowed Joe Johnson and Josh Smith to attack at two points, while the Knicks used Gatsby's unparalleled restraint to drive the team to bloom. During this period, Tyson Chandler and Bogut went down to rest for a while, and Gatsby He was very energetic anyway, and Bibby had no choice but to rest for 4 minutes off the court. During these 4 minutes, Joe Johnson could only defend, because Jeff, who was replacing Bibby Teague is too young for Gatsby!

"It's really exciting! During this period of time, the offenses of both sides have been opened up. Josh Smith on the Hawks' side has shown his all-round skills. Although Joe Johnson's offense is simple and unpretentious, his efficiency is really high. Kevin Martin has no There is no way to limit him. Although the Knicks' offense at the 2nd position has been strengthened through trading, the defense has fallen. , He is really not competent for this defense.

But it doesn't matter, Martin can make up for it offensively. Gatsby helps the Knicks sort out the offense and uses his super containment power to help Martin share a lot of defensive pressure. Martin's talents in air cuts and off the ball are revealed. Undoubtedly, it also helped Gatsby take off a lot of pressure.

The styles of the two sides are not the same. The Eagles' style of play is stable, efficient and terrifying, while the Knicks' side is like flowing water. Under Gatsby's combing, it is as pervasive as quicksilver. Both Tyson Chandler and Bogut, who are weaker than the offense, can get chances to score repeatedly. Director Zhang exclaimed.

"Director Zhang is right. The strange thing is that the Hawks, who played extremely well in the regular season, looked like stars were taking over the game, while the Knicks, where the ball is concentrated in the regular season, can now attack everyone. It’s really strange that everyone can score,” Yang Yi said.

Director Zhang laughed: "I have to praise Gatsby. Gatsby deserves to be the regular season MVP. This MVP is because he controls the ball a lot and averages 30+ points and 10+ assists per game. What he got was a real trophy snatched from a group of great heroes, but it was more than that. When the team needed it, he could transform into a master of off-the-ball movement that tore apart the opponent's defense. Why did the Knicks players get such an opportunity today? It wasn't because of Gatsby's position.

He is not limited to me as a ball handler, the ball has to be in my hands, just let me control everything, he is not, he can hold the ball, he can not hold the ball, change it, everything he does is In order to attack the opponent's weakness, this is also the reason why the Knicks were able to drag the Eagles into the battle of Tianwangshan! "

Gatsby can use the ball to win himself a regular season MVP, but he understands that it is impossible to win the next series by himself. Later, the Golden State Warriors used as many as three championships to tell others, even if the team has The superstar and the team are the ultimate key to victory. The negative teaching material is the F04 team formed by the Lakers in 4, and a single-core team cannot win by concentrating the ball, such as Harden during the Huoyong battle. , which is why he tried to transition the ball out.

As for the critical moment, there is no need to say more, give me the ball!
