the great gatsby

Chapter 227 Control!

When summing up after the game, Jeff Van Gundy sighed: "The Eagles did nothing wrong today. They have done their best. These guys are working hard on the court. Coach Woodson arranged the most suitable tactics for them. Their fighting spirit Extremely vigorous, they have nothing to criticize, they just played a game with a tragic meaning!
Since they have nothing to criticize, why the Knicks still won the game, it is because the Knicks are the better team today, and the Knicks have a very good leader - Gatsby!

You may not believe it, but I saw the wisdom of Chinese philosophy in the game. I heard that Gatsby’s family still admires Chinese culture, which can also explain why Gatsby is so wise in the game.

What he shows today is his control over the whole situation. I have read Chinese philosophy books, and there is a saying like this: Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for the eternity are not enough to plan for a moment.

What did Gatsby do today? At the beginning, the Eagles were extremely imposing, so Gatsby didn't choose to confront the Eagles head-on. Instead, he fought against the Eagles round by round with the rhythm, suppressing the Eagles' momentum.

Under Gatsby's pressure, the Eagles' aura gradually fell back. At this time, Gatsby resolutely increased his speed and launched a wave of offensive frenzy, which made the Eagles' aura more and more low. The rhythm is in your own hands.

He simply used this game as a teaching lesson on how to control the situation. I suggest that every player who is interested in becoming a top point guard can watch this game repeatedly, ponder and study carefully, and you will definitely see and learn more! "

Jeff Van Gundy's evaluation is very high. Van Gundy has always spoken sharply and harshly. It is not easy for him to praise him properly. Some players dare not have an opinion after being scolded by Van Gundy because Van Gundy's evaluation has always been to the point. If he said it, then They are basically inseparable.

McBrin was surprised: "Jeff, I didn't know you know so much about Chinese culture?"

Van Gundy said with a smile: "I am very curious about the player Gatsby. His performance on the field is full of wisdom. I know that many choices of a player are due to his own culture. So I studied Chinese culture. Sure enough, many things can be reflected in Gatsby."

Mark Jackson said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is useful to read more books. Athletes need excellent physical talents, but golf quotient and intelligence will make them even more outstanding."

McBrin said: "The Knicks used six games to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks. Their opponent in the next round is the Orlando Magic. Orlando has been resting for several days. They defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 4:0. Speaking of which, this year's Orlando Magic is really strong. They allowed the Bobcats to score 90 points in only one of the four games, and none of the remaining three games scored more than 77 points. There was even one game where the Hornets only scored [-] points. [-] points! Their defense is terrifyingly strong!"

Jeff Van Gundy praised: "Howard deserves to be the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons. Under his guard, the Magic's penalty area is almost impenetrable. The Knicks will have a headache when they meet the Magic. The Magic's defensive strategy is very good. Restraining the Knicks, Gatsby's scoring is mostly three-pointers and the basket. He rarely shoots mid-range shots, while the Magic are good at oppressing the ball holder and blocking the opponent's three-pointers, and they have the best frame protectors in the league. With Howard guarding the basket, it is not easy for Gatsby to get to the basket for a layup.

For Gatsby, if the three-pointer is blocked and the basket is blocked, his ability to attract flanking attacks will be greatly reduced. In this way, other Knicks players who have no active offensive ability can only stare blankly. However, they have a chance only if Gatsby can open the attracting pincer attack. "

McBrin laughed: "You only see the disadvantages of the Knicks, but you didn't mention the advantages of the Knicks. Howard may be a difficult problem for other teams, but it may not be the case for the Knicks. , I admit that Howard's ability to guard the basket is definitely the best in the league, but as long as he is transferred away from the basket, his deterrent power will be greatly reduced. Think about it, if Gates compares to Howard for every ball, You say whether Howard goes out or not, after he goes out, the Magic don’t have a real insider who can guard the basket, if he doesn’t go out, Gatsby may break his own three-point record in the playoffs.”

The Knicks made it to the playoffs again after four years and for the first time since the 2000-01 season in the second round of the playoffs, which made the Knicks fans rejoice. They expected the Knicks to rise next season, but did not Thinking that this season has already risen, this season can enter the second round with tinkering, and when next season introduces superstars, wouldn't the Knicks go to heaven?
Gatsby's outstanding performance in the first round of the series was shocking. Although the performance in the first and second games was not so good, he led the team to win four games in a row and eliminated the Eagles, which made people see his incomparable leadership. Ability, Gatsby averaged 36.5 points, 10.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game in the last four games!
Is this just a rookie playing in the playoffs for the first time?
Gatsby's performance in the playoffs not only did not shrink from the regular season, but also showed stronger strength. Those who made fun of Gatsby after the first two games were slapped by Gatsby with his excellent performance Face, face was swollen!
In the next four games, Gatsby was like a god, leaving James Dolan and Donnie Walsh dumbfounded. Although Gatsby won the MVP of the regular season and won the steals/assists/scoring awards, but This is the playoffs. It's amazing that a rookie can perform like this in the playoffs!
"Donnie, I'm glad I didn't trade Gatsby before going to bed. If I call him out, I think I will be so angry that I vomit blood, and then I will be scolded bloody by the fans, and then I will be punished." Nailed into the list of the most stupid owners in NBA history, and then watched the team that got Gatsby win one championship after another.” James Doland said.

Donny Walsh was also afraid: "Yeah, it's a good thing you stopped me. If Gatsby is really traded away, I don't think I will be able to find a job for the rest of my life. Think about it, if I go to some When the team applied for the general manager position, they would ask me: Downey, I want to know why you traded Gatsby?
That will probably be a stain on my life, boss, you saved my career! "
