the great gatsby

Chapter 252 Live Teaching
Jeremy Lin sat next to D'Antoni, "Observe carefully how Gatsby handles the flanking attack. You have just been flanked. Watching Gatsby's live teaching right now should give you a deeper understanding.

You see, Gatsby is holding the ball at the top of the arc, and Stoudemire goes up for the pick-and-roll. Lewis and Nelson both pounce on Gatsby. This is a classic high-post pick-and-roll. It can prevent the ball from coming out, and even cause mistakes.

You see, here comes the key point. Gatsby didn't dribble more. He just moved to the side to give himself a little space to pass... A good ball. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Stoudemire. The next step was It's simple, whether Stoudemire passes it directly to himself or passes it to teammates on both sides, there is an absolute open space. "D'Antoni sat next to Jeremy Lin and gave Jeremy Lin instructions on how to handle the ball. Jeremy Lin nodded repeatedly.

"The key to breaking a trap is for the ball holder not to panic, to be aware of the opponent's intention in advance, and then be ready to play the ball. If you really don't notice the opponent's intention and are being flanked, don't rush to release the ball, get rid of it first... You see, This ball should be used by Gatsby to demonstrate to you the situation I mentioned... He was pinched and couldn't hit the ball, so he chose to pass Lewis. After passing Lewis, the front was already full of loopholes... Beautiful, Bogut's alley-oop!" D'Antoni laughed, "Do you know what to do with the ball now?"

Jeremy Lin nodded: "Gatsby once told me, don't be afraid of being flanked. On the contrary, attracting the opponent's flank is what we should do best. Once the opponent flanks, someone must leak out. Coach, the two things you just said The key to breaking the flanking attack, the best way is to prevent it before it happens, and throw the ball at the moment when the opponent is flanking. A mistake, so you still have to distribute the ball at the moment of pinching."

D'Antoni nodded in satisfaction: "Understood, but you still need to practice more. The situation on the court is changing rapidly, and there will always be some unexpected situations. At that time, your experience will help you a lot."

Jeremy Lin's performance in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter was quite amazing, but Gatsby's performance after he played made the fans clearly see the difference between top point guards and potential rookies. When he is on the field, not only his teammates are ruthless, but even his opponents are mobilized. After a few passes, the players of the Magic team are cleared to the side of the lane, and then Stoudemire will face him. box singles.

Jeremy Lin looked great when he was on the court, but there were a lot of forced passes that didn't work out.And every pass of Gatsby has his role, either as a direct assist, or as a mobilization of the opponent, or as an indirect assist.

"People are afraid of making comparisons. When Jeremy Lin was present, we all thought, wow, this rookie is very good, but when compared with Gates, the gap came out. Well, the difference between a rookie and a master, and Jeremy Lin is better than Gates. He is two years older than Gatsby, from this we can see how great Gatsby is, a genius can always do things that ordinary people can't do with their best efforts." Mark Jackson sighed.

"But do you admit that you lost today's bet?" Jeff Van Gundy had been coveting Mark Jackson's red wine for a long time.

Mark Jackson smiled and said, "Come here and get it next time, I already know that you have bad intentions."

Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

The situation on the court has come to an end. Last season, the Magic, which was considered to be far superior to the Knicks, was beaten by the Knicks. At the end of the half, the Magic had trailed by 20 points. Howard only grabbed 8 rebounds and With 8 points, that's all. Bogut topped Howard, and then Stoudemire made up the cap. The two cooperated tacitly. They gave Howard two big caps at the beginning, so Howard could only rely on the second attack. And offensive scoring away from the basket.

The Knicks' offense looks extremely explosive, and Stoudemire's down is like a thunderbolt. Once Stoudemire catches the ball under the basket, he pulls it up with a dunk, and his domineering temperament is undoubtedly revealed.

Gatsby's strong ability to attract the outside line made Stoudemire feel like a fish in water inside. Stoudemire even sent three assists, thanks to the space Gatsby tore out. When Stoudemire can run wantonly, he is the best player in the league. The top frame monster!

"The Magic are no longer the opponents of the Knicks. The interior is limited by the Knicks. The weakness of the power forward position is like a mud wall under the attack of Stoudemire. The precise three-pointer, the defense that the Magic has always been proud of has become riddled with holes under the mobilization of Gatsby. When Bogut goes to help Gatsby pick and roll, whether Howard will go out or not. The inside can only rely on Lewis to face Stoudemire. Lewis is still struggling to defend the average power forward, let alone the top offensive player among the power forwards.

With the fighting power shown by the Knicks today, the Big Three of the Heat may not be able to defeat the Knicks. The current configuration of the Heat is very deformed, with a top outside combination, but they do not have a strong traditional center. Big Z is too old, and the regular season is okay. Play a dozen, but in the playoffs, facing Gatsby's pick-and-roll, it is impossible for the Heat to let Big Z play, because his presence means that Gatsby will break the three-point record. Let Chris Bosh top the center position. Bosh can call the wind and rain when facing a small lineup, but he is still a little thinner when playing center, which is likely to become a breakthrough for the Knicks.

Of course, this is just a possibility. After all, the Big Three of the Heat are too powerful. No team in the league dares to say that they will be able to beat the Heat. If there is room, a superstar can be introduced, and another star can be introduced if James Dolan is determined to grit his teeth.

The Knicks' reinforcements are mainly at the position of shooting guard and small forward. If they can get the little melon, then the Knicks can become the most powerful championship contender this season! "

Yang Yi speaks highly of the current Knicks. This is because the arrival of Stoudemire has made up for the weakest link of the Knicks, that is, adding an extra core to the Knicks. This is very important. In order to lead the team, Segatsby even played the entire court, just to have a core on the court, but when facing the Celtics, they used Garnett's defensive ability to sweep inside, and the others Gatsby can be pinched at will. In those six games, Gatsby was chased and intercepted, but others did not help Gatsby much. This is the reason why the Knicks lost in the Eastern Conference Finals.
