the great gatsby

Chapter 23 Six minutes of team building cornerstone

Gatsby is also a bold person. Since the coach has arranged for him to independently arrange his tactics and playing styles, and since he has been given the chicken feathers and arrows, he has to use them as a sword. In the arena, I am not afraid that you are bold, but I am afraid that you will not have confidence. Well, since the coach gave him the chance, Gatsby is going to poke a hole in the sky!

The personnel have been adjusted, or David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Tony Douglas and Jordan Hill, Danilo Gallinelli was replaced.

Miami had the hot ball, Chalmers quickly passed the half court with the ball, and then handed it to Wade who came out of the baseline. Douglas put it in and blocked the middle. If it is an ordinary player, it should be like this, but for Wade , as long as there is a little space, he can pierce the sky.

Wade followed the opening created by Douglas and broke in directly. Before Chandler could surround him, he changed direction and rushed to the middle. Now Wade had too many choices to make. He could continue to go deep, he could throw, or he could give two Side pass, what a Wade, dunk directly into the air!

Gatsby didn't stop at all, received the pass from Hilde and rushed straight across the half court. Chandler, David Lee, Douglas and Jordan Hill all followed quickly. Chalmers quickly caught up with Gatsby. Gats After a short stop at the three-point line, Chalmers rushed over his head and opened up a little space.

Gatsby looked at the basket, put his feet together, and moved his left hand to his right. Chalmers was shocked: "No, I'm going to shoot again!" The ball rushed directly to the basket, and now Beasley and O'Neal shrank to the basket.

Jordan Hill and Gatsby have practiced together, cut in directly, the ball arrives, Jordan Hill catches the ball and jumps high, Jermaine O'Neal wants to block the shot because of his height, but Jordan Hill is a run-up, His head was almost flat, and he dunked directly against O'Neal!

"Boom!" Madison Square Garden made a loud noise like a flash flood!

D'Antoni clapped his hands hard: "Good job!"

Wade glanced at Gatsby in surprise, "This rookie is so smart! He's not fast, his body isn't strong, and his dribbling isn't too good. Just now, the Buddha didn't do it smoothly, but he was able to fool Mali. Oh, how strange!"

Spoelstra also began to pay attention to Gatsby: "This rookie is relatively mediocre except for his excellent shooting ability, but he seems to have a natural sense of smell and can seize fleeting opportunities. Obviously he has reached the basket, but he was able to pass it out, this ability to seize the opportunity is really amazing!"

After passing the good ball, Gatsby didn't roar loudly. He just held his right hand lightly on his chest, and then quickly returned to the half court to participate in the defense. Jordan Hill ran over to Gatzby and gave him a high-five, excited.

David Lee was fascinated by Gatsby's handsome face, which was so calm that it was even a little cold-this is a natural leader!
In the next round, Gatsby held the ball in the middle and directed David Lee to cover Douglas' bottom line. Douglas attracted two people. David Lee took a step in the middle. David Lee under the basket, David Lee soared into the air, and a tomahawk dunked, once again causing enthusiastic cheers in Madison Square Garden.

Gatsby's pass is elusive, constantly breaking through the Heat's defense. The Heat are a team with strong defensive discipline, but facing Gatsby's pass is full of loopholes!
D'Antoni blushed with excitement, this is the core he wants, a core that can hold the team together, yes, Gatsby's body is weak, but Steve Nash is not strong, and work with Steve Nash That period of time was the happiest time for him. Although he failed to win the championship in the end, it was only one step away after all, wasn't it?

Although Gatsby is not as good as Steve Nash now, he is only 19 years old. His young age means unlimited possibilities. D'Antoni is determined to train Gatsby first!
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied. Wade continued to score and scored 19 points in a single quarter. However, under Gatsby's needlework, the Knicks blossomed in full swing. Be beaming - they've scored a few goals at Gatsby's feed!
Gatsby sat on the bench panting heavily, and shook his head. This body is still too weak. When he was in the CBA, although his body was not strong, but in terms of endurance, he definitely belonged to the type that could not run to death. , the defenders of every team are most afraid of running into Gatsby, because he will really walk people to death!
After a summer of training, this body has become much stronger, but endurance is not something that can be achieved overnight. Si, his body is not too strong, but under the entanglement of Chalmers, although Gatsby can still pass the ball or attack according to his ideas, he almost fights with all his strength every time. It's like a reservoir that opens the gate to release water, and it will be exhausted soon.

D'Antoni noticed Gatsby's pale face and came over and asked, "Gatsby, how are you feeling?"

Gatsby shook his head with a pale face: "Coach, I guess I need to rest for a while, my physical strength is exhausted."

D'Antoni nodded and arranged for Chris Duhon to play. After setting up the tactics, the second quarter began. D'Antoni was very worried. He didn't know whether the decision to train Gatsby was wise, because there has never been a NBA players' stamina is so poor that they become so exhausted after playing less than half a quarter.

Although a core player does not necessarily have to play for 40 minutes, he must have the physical strength to play for 48 minutes, or even 60 minutes, because you never know when there will be overtime. Like Gatsby, let him play a regular game. The rotation is difficult, let alone the starting lineup, not the core role.

But looking at his performance on the court, it will make people feel that it is worth the gamble, because Gatsby's performance on the court is a core player, a team that can guarantee the team's lower limit and can also increase the team's upper limit. cornerstone!
