the great gatsby

Chapter 240 The ups and downs of life are so exciting!
The next situation in the Eastern Conference is incomprehensible. The first is the series between the Cavaliers and the Celtics. After the Cavaliers led 2:1, the Celtics pulled three games in a row and defeated the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers. To be eliminated, you must know that the Cavaliers this season are a 61-win team, while the Celtics only have 50 wins. It can only be said that the Celtics' Big Three are too old and strong.

The battle between the Magic and the Knicks is even more jaw-dropping. The Magic, which is obviously stronger on paper, seems helpless in the face of the Knicks with obvious flaws. After stealing a victory at the Knicks' home court, Eliminated by the Knicks in two consecutive games, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The league's biggest dark horse appears!
Gats is the real leader!

This is the unanimous comment of all the experts in the league. In the two rounds of the series, Gatsby led the Knicks to defeat the strong. They were obviously the weaker side, but they defeated a team that was much stronger than him. What is he if he is not a dark horse? What is Gatsby if he is not a true leader?
In the two-round series, Gatsby averaged 34.5 points, 10.9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game. This is the first time he entered the playoffs and was able to play such terrifying data. Gatsby is also a real leader!

But that's all. Unlike the Eagles and Magic, the Celtics are a better team. Their precision cooperation, team first, and a team composed of three cores basically did not leave the Knicks. Any flaws, although Rondo was crushed by Gatsby in 6 games, but the cooperation of the Big Three made the Knicks unable to fight back.

Gatsby averaged 46 minutes per game, scored 36 points, 11.2 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals, and averaged 6.3 three-pointers per game. However, the Celtics have been firmly in control of the situation, and Gatsby is only Leading the team to grab two victories, but Gatsby has no regrets after playing to this level. The flaws of the team are obvious. Single-core is such a disadvantage in the playoffs, even if Gatsby is the same It is generally useless for the gods to come down to earth.

However, Gatsby's performance directly convinced the Celtics. After the series ended, Pierce, Garnett and others expressed their admiration for Gatsby:

——"It's inappropriate to regard Gatsby as a rookie. He is a true leader. He gave his best even if he dislocated his finger (Gatsby dislocated his right middle finger in the second game). He has changed the game of basketball." Pierce said.

——"You know my character, I seldom praise my opponents, what I give to my opponents are always tough roars and muscle collisions... Well, I also gave Gatsby these, but I admire him, Such an opponent deserves my admiration, Gatsby is like a person, oh, I don’t mean the style of play, but his desire to win, well, yes, it’s Michael Jordan, and in six games, we didn’t have a single game Easy to win, no game lost suspense before the last minute of the game, he is a great opponent, he makes people feel daunting!" Garnett said.

——"A giant will rise in the East. This year is our best chance to win the championship. Next season the Knicks will make people feel intimidated, and we will also be one year older. Of course we will not give up and are determined to compete for the championship. The top teams in the championship, pay attention. There is no way to stop the rise of the Knicks. Gatsby is a great player. There is no need to wait for the future. He is a great player now." Gentleman Ray Allen said.

——"He is a despicable villain, so handsome, it's not that he has a lot of small moves, yes, his defense is very tough, but he has too many hands and feet, otherwise how did he average 3 steals per game? Squeeze Pulling, using everything, it's despicable!" Rajon Rondo said of Gatsby with righteous indignation.

The season of the Knicks is over, and other players are on vacation, but Gatsby is not good enough. He still has to help the team with some work. There is not much he can do in the draft. Originally, the Knicks got the No. 9 pick, but this The pick has already been traded out, otherwise it can be used to sign Paul George. As for the other two second-round picks 38 and 39, the picks are too low to select anyone, but Gatsby suggests using it. Choose two people, one is Lance Stevenson and the other is Jeremy Lin.

Donny Walsh's mind is all about recruiting superstars, and he doesn't care about these two second-round picks at all. Since Gatsby wants to select two people, he also fully agrees, and hopes that Gatsby will not interfere with his recruitment. superstar.

Historically, Jeremy Lin would lose the draft in this draft, but this is not necessarily the case in this time and space, because as the first Chinese-American, Gatsby performed a miraculous performance in the NBA and even won the regular season MVP. Jeremy Lin benefited from this. I probably won't make it in the first round, but there will always be a team that picks a late second-round pick to sign Jeremy Lin. Maybe he will win the jackpot. He doesn't have to be as great as Gatsby, but he is half as good as Gatsby. That's enough for them to make a fortune!The Chinese market is coveted by every team in the NBA!

Donnie Walsh didn't discuss with Gatsby about recruiting superstars, and Gatsby didn't bother to ask. He paid attention to the finals between the Lakers and Celtics while helping Under Armor shoot some advertisements. Ma, because of Gatsby's outstanding performance in the playoffs, Gatsby's sales have been crazy for a long time. In a short period of time, Under Armour's stock price has risen wildly, and it has almost become the third largest sports brand in the United States. Plant was insane.

Gatsby's first-generation hot sale made Gatsby's wallet bulge, and when the wallet bulged, Gatsby had some ideas. He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and called Li Wanyu who was out.

"Sister Li, come to meet someone with me tonight...well, yes, a potential partner, I'm interested in his new project, I've already made an appointment with him, okay, then you come back early."

At the end of the season, Gatsby temporarily relaxed. He made a summary for himself. This season was successful and brilliant:

——Winning the two honors of Rookie of the Year and Regular Season MVP will make him one of the most famous rookies in NBA history;

——In addition, he was under 20 years old when he won the MVP, so he also became the youngest MVP in NBA history. In terms of youth and ambition, even James is not as good as him. Has been expected, but he won his first regular season MVP is only a matter of last season.

The rise of Gatsby is even more legendary. Hollywood stars played basketball across borders. After losing the election, they started from a low level. It was a plot that would only appear in the hands of a famous screenwriter, but it just happened.

So, the ups and downs of life are really exciting!
