the great gatsby

Chapter 253 Sky!

The Magic tried to counterattack in the second half, but Lewis was the key target when he went up. If he was off the court, the Magic’s space became anxious. After three quarters, Gatsby and Stoudemire clocked out of work early. The trio was dumbfounded.

They felt that even if the Magic were to lose, it would be impossible for them to lose so neatly. You must know that the Magic's lineup has basically not changed much, and the Knicks' general Stoudemire is his first regular season game in the Knicks. There was cooperation in the preseason, but it was only a few games, and the preseason and regular games are not at the same level. As far as the team lineup is concerned, no one can be regarded as good after half a season of tempering. There is a basic tacit understanding.

And Stoudemire came up today as if he had played with the Knicks for a season or two. He didn't need to break in at all, and it was as simple as what people later said was plug and play.

Stoudemire sat back on the bench and watched the teammates who replaced him play well, especially Jeremy Lin and Stephenson. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Facing the Magic's rotation lineup, the backcourt actually showed a faint sense of oppression. Stoudemire was quite emotional. He came to the Knicks because he valued the big ball market of the Knicks. If he wants to become a superstar in the league, he must have such a big ball market as his background;

The second is to value the salary space of the Knicks. The Knicks gave him a very generous salary. This is due to the excellent work of Donnie Walsh in cleaning up the contract in the past two years, and also due to the core of the team, Gates. The child labor contract signed by Stoudemire, so even though Stoudemire's salary is very suitable for him, it still does not prevent the Knicks from continuing to recruit stars;
The third is the great potential shown by the Knicks last season, which made Stoudemire no longer have any reason to hesitate. The reason why Stoudemire didn't directly agree to Donnie Walsh was actually worried about Gatsby's attitude. As soon as Gatsby called, Stoudemire agreed immediately.

Tonight, Stoudemire scored 28 points, 34 rebounds and 12 assists in 5 minutes. This efficiency is ridiculously high, even better than when he was in the Suns, but Stoudemire knows very well, Tonight is Gatsby's intention to create opportunities for him to quickly integrate into the team, but it also means that Gatsby has the ability to make him fully play out.

This is not a trivial matter. A good point guard can make his teammates play 120% of their abilities. A mediocre point guard may only make that teammate play 80% of their abilities. A poor point guard, he will Help opponents defend their team's ace...

After three quarters of the game, Stoudemire admired Gatsby so much. Playing in the Knicks, he experienced the joy of being like a duck to water. This feeling has never been experienced even in the Suns. Of course, Nash is a top point guard. , but Nash is not as good as Gatsby. Gatsby's unparalleled three-point shooting fully allows the opponent's defensive range to increase by 25%. The extra range is the battlefield where Stoudemire is galloping.

Stoudemire is not a traditional center. He is a center or a power forward with a talent for running and jumping. If he wants to play his best role, he must be allowed to run. The large space provided by Gatsby makes Stoudemire feel like a duck to water It is also a very normal thing.

This is about falling in love with a wild horse, and my family happens to have the meaning of grassland!

Of course, Stoudemire is not the only one who has benefited from this matter. Gatsby has also benefited. Look at his statistics today: 28 points, 18 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 assists!

There are eight assists just for Stoudemire!
"Complement each other! Stoudemire and Gatsby are achieving each other! Stoudemire's incomparably sharp downswing, and Gatsby's scalpel-like precision pass, which allowed Stoudemire to win the scoring data and Gatsby to win the assists Data, the so-called golden wind and jade dew, once they meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world. The first cooperation between Gatsby and Stoudemire showed a jaw-dropping and terrifying power!" Zhang Lili praised the combination of Stoudemire and Gatsby .

"It's quite amazing. The combination of Stoudemire and Gatsby reminds me of the Stockton-Malone combination, and also reminds me of the OK combination. Anyway, my mind is currently running through famous combinations in the history of various leagues, trying to compete with them. Compared with the combination of Gatsby and Stoudemire, but in terms of compatibility, I think there is probably no one who can compare with the combination of Gatsby and Stoudemire.

In terms of temperament, the combination of Stockton and Malone is comparable to the combination of Gatsby and Stoudemire;
In terms of their respective dominance, the OK combination may be slightly higher than the combination of Stoudemire and Gatsby;
But in terms of technical complementarity, the combination of Gatsby and Stoudemire is alone in the first gear. Gatsby's unparalleled shooting skills provide Stoudemire with the space to gallop and let Stoudemire's offensive ability be fully displayed. This is OK. Combinations can't do it. "Yang Yi said.

"Mr. Yang, why don't we give the combination of Gatsby and Stoudemire a name?" Director Zhang laughed.

Yang Yi smiled and said: "It is very necessary. The combination of Malone and Stockton is called the Utah Shuangsha, the combination of Kobe and O'Neal is called the OK combination, and the Spurs have a GDP combination. Stoudemire and Gatsby are such a lethal pair. If the group doesn't choose a more prestigious name, I'm really sorry for the two of them, does Director Zhang have any good suggestions?"

Director Zhang smiled: "Let me throw bricks to attract jade now, how about calling it Sky Group?"

Yang Yi read it twice, and couldn't help but slapped his thigh and shouted for a second: "This name is really good, sky is a homonym for Sky, Si means Stoudemire, Guy means Gatsby, and the meaning is even more lofty, sky translates to sky, Stoudemire's father said to Stoudemire before his death that the sky is your limit. Not only that, Gatsby and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll can often form a lob, and they do all this in the air. Director Zhang named it The level is admirable!"

Director Zhang smiled proudly: "It's just a chance, it's nothing, so call them the sky group?"

Yang Yi smiled and said: "It's necessary!"

After the game, Stoudemire was the focus of the interview, and the issue that received the most attention was the cooperation between him and Gatsby. Stoudemire said this: "If I were to sit down and review my NBA career, I would spend 1 minute to show my love to these people.

Let's start with my starting point in Phoenix, Stephon Marbury, he took me under his wing and kept teaching me.A lot of people forget that he's an All-Star, a max player.Such a big brother means a lot to me.

Then there's Steve Nash, and before he came I already had strong partners, Joe Johnson, Sean Marion and Leandro Barbosa.Nash lifted us to a whole new level, he energized us all.With such a pass-first point guard, the whole game is easy to play.

We redefined the game, and centers like Shaq and Karl Malone were the core of the team before us.We don't have big men like that, but we don't lack speed.Mike D'Antoni is determined to play small, and everyone is not ready yet, ready for such an attack every less than 7 seconds.

Steve (Nash) is one of the best passers in the game and I had the best position to watch him play.He took my game to a whole new level and he taught me how to be a good leader.

I thought I would never meet a teammate who had as much chemistry with me as he did after I left Phoenix, but as you saw tonight, Gatsby is a player who can compete with Steve - he can be called this One of the best passers in the sport! "
