Gatsby replaced Chris Duhon, and Wade took the initiative to defend Gatsby. Gatsby made him feel threatened. He had to put Gatsby down first.

"Oh! What is Dwyane going to do? He wants to take the initiative to switch against Gatsby. Has he reached this point? Gatsby is just a rookie?" Mike Breen asked in surprise.

"Let's look at Gatsby's statistics. He played less than 6 minutes in the first quarter, but his statistics were 8 points, 6 assists and 2 steals! This is why Dwyane took the initiative to defend him!
Jesus! (Jesus is on top!) Gatsby's efficiency is amazing, no wonder Dwyane feels threatened. If this data is converted into 36 minutes, then his data should be 48 points, 36 assists and 12 steals!

Of course, it is impossible for a player to maintain high efficiency all the time, but Gatsby is really good. This is only the first game of his career. In addition to his huge physical disadvantage, his overall vision is simply a mixed NBA After years of being a veteran, the Knicks have found a treasure. "

Jeff Van Gundy didn't spare his praise, but Gatsby was in crisis!

When the ball hit the ground, Wade's center of gravity was even lower than him. , fingertips touched the basketball, the basketball came out of his hand, Gatsby wanted to control the ball, Wade rubbed lightly, Gatsby felt a strong force coming, his body could not help but fell to the side, Wade slammed Catch the ball and go straight to the basket for a dunk!

So strong!Gatsby was startled.

Wade's steal just now reflects his seasoned experience, and more importantly, his extraordinary physical fitness, ultra-low center of gravity, and strong body, which immediately revealed Gatsby's weaknesses one by one.

"Wow! Poor rookie, I guess Dwyane will talk trash to the rookie in a while: Hey! Rookie, welcome to the NBA!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Jordan Hill hurried over to pull Gatsby up, and Gatsby whispered in Jordan Hill's ear, "Help me block Wade." Jordan Hill nodded, and then took the ball to Gatsby, Wade followed the same pattern and wanted to come over and steal it. Gatsby waited for Jordan to come over and block it before starting to shake off Wade.

But Wade was so fast that he only accelerated and caught Gatsby again. Gatsby was not in a hurry and protected the ball. He waited for Jordan Hill to come over again and passed the half court with another sprint. Wade Gatsby kept pestering him. Gatsby tried his best to protect the ball.

Gatsby shook his head: "It's okay, the confrontation just now was too intense, and I can't even recover!"

Jordan Hill didn't say anything, but felt a little sympathetic to Gatsby in his heart. Even if Gatsby performed well with such stamina, it would be difficult to use it to the fullest.

"Wow! Jeff, I guess the rookie will respond to Dwyane in a while: Hey, old bird, you can't defend against my assist." Mike Breen laughed.

"Haha, interesting! Gatsby's assist is very beautiful, but he is struggling under Dwyane's defense. His biggest disadvantage now is that he is too weak, but we can't be too demanding, he is only 19 years old My child, give him two or three years to hone his body, and then it will be time to shock the whole world.

I hope Coach D'Antoni can train him well and not let such a genius waste his talents. Compared with other talents, he is like an unrefined ore that needs to be refined more carefully before he can shine. "Jeff Van Gundy said with emotion.

"Exactly, I don't know if the Knicks have the patience to train him. The Knicks have never been patient enough, emmm... God bless Gatsby! (God bless Gatsby!)" Mike Breen said.
