the great gatsby

Chapter 267 Somebody is playing tricks... hooligans!
The Knicks' pass-and-cut system seems to be bumpy and not as smooth as when Gatsby was on the court. In fact, D'Antoni knows that everything in the Knicks' pass-and-cut system is based on Gatsby's outside containment. In terms of strength, after all, passing and air-cutting require space. At the same time, the Knicks are also a shooting-oriented team, so they need more space.

Jeremy Lin has a three-pointer, but his three-pointer is not as threatening as Gatsby, and he can't expand the opponent's defensive area like Gatsby. The foundation of the passing and cutting system lies in space.

But doesn't it mean that without Gatsby, the pass and cut system cannot be played?

Not so, the pass and cut system is a very inclusive system, he does not even need highly talented players, as long as five players can run according to the tactics, strictly implement the tactical requirements, and can also play offensive threats, the Knicks' rotation lineup After all, they didn't understand the tactics enough, but D'Antoni didn't stop because he knew that this was a running-in period that had to be experienced.

The development of a tactical system does not mean that it can be practiced through training. It is impossible to form a tactical system without real games. So even if there is a price to pay, the Knicks can only bear it.

For the team, there are two things to do in the regular season. One is to get tickets to the playoffs, and the other is to use the regular season to polish the team's strength and make the team go further in the playoffs. Far.

From these perspectives, losing some games in the regular season is not unbearable, the key is to let the team get more training in the regular season.

The Blazers gradually approached the score. Although Roy could not run much, he played more easily against the immature Jeremy Lin, constantly attracting flankers and sending assists to help the team approach the score. At the end of the first quarter, the Blazers Even the score.

In the second quarter, Gatsby stayed on the court for 3 minutes before returning to the court. Gatsby's return made the rotation of the lineup smoother. Gatsby's off-ball movement was too threatening. The attention was involuntarily attracted to him, which led to the Knicks' repeated success in air cuts and backdoors. Fortunately, the Blazers' offense was also able to maintain a smooth flow so that the Knicks did not widen the gap.

Gatsby scored another 12 points in the second and a half quarters, and with the score in the first quarter, Gatsby had already scored 26 points and 5 assists.

"Great! Gatsby played 6 minutes in the first quarter and 6 minutes in the second quarter. He scored 12 points and 26 assists in 5 minutes. Gatsby scored explosively when he focused on running without the ball. It's scary!
His scoring methods don't seem to be too many. Most of them are shooting from the three-point line after the screen, or cutting to the basket for a layup. In this way, he has hit 4 three-pointers and 3 layups. 8 points came from free throws. He didn't touch the ball at all, and the time he touched the ball was very short. "Wang Meng exclaimed.

Ke Fan smiled and said: "That's natural. I commented on Gatsby's games at the beginning of last season. At that time, he hadn't become the leader of the team. Leader, so I have more time to hold the ball, but I am convinced of Gatsby's off-ball ability... Hey! The Knicks have made personnel adjustments. Have you played in the five small lineup?"

Although the last game was not broadcast live by Wang Meng and Ke Fan, they also watched the game between the Celtics and the Knicks. Especially at the last moment when the Knicks entered the five-small lineup, they were shocked and impressed. They We talked about this issue before the commentary, wondering whether the Knicks would use the five-small lineup as a tactic for certain periods of time.

"Hey, that's true. It seems that D'Antoni's ambition is not small. He will probably use this lineup as a special tactic at certain moments, as a means of disrupting the opponent's arrangement or opening up the score. It's just that Aldridge doesn't care. It's easy to deal with, the five-small lineup is a desperate lineup in the final analysis, if used well, it will naturally destroy the opponent like a storm, and if used poorly, it will explode." Wang Meng said.

McMillan felt a little slow. The Knicks' lineup changed, which made him feel a sense of crisis. When the Knicks' big man was on the court, the pace was fast. If the big man was off the court, wouldn't the speed become faster? , Can the Blazers keep up with them?

The reality told McMillan—no way!
As soon as the fifth grader came up, Gatsby started to push the speed, faster, faster, faster!

Aldridge hit a few good shots, but the Knicks didn't play cards according to common sense at all. They didn't score a goal and counterattacked. , he was always able to find teammates who were missed, and what made McMillan even more distressed was that Gatsby became more and more crazy, chasing three-pointers farther and farther, even shooting against people!
"Ah!!! Gatsby!!! Going in a super long three-pointer! This is already his fifth three-pointer in this game! God! It's crazy, Gatsby is called the most in history The crazy three-pointer is well-deserved. He dares to shoot such a ball. It is really crazy!" Ke Fan cried like a ghost.

"Oh my god! It's amazing! Coach McMillan must be wailing in his heart at this moment: What can we do! There is a lunatic on the opposite side!
If you can call the police, Coach McMillan will definitely call the police/police station and cry to the police: Police/Mr. Police, there are people playing hooligans/hooligans here, do you care or not! "Wang Meng didn't calm down either.

How calm!
They have never seen anyone play like this before, they throw it after halftime, and if they don't let the throw, they take two steps forward and throw people alive. The block after the opponent panicked - too much force!

The scene seemed to be a little out of control. Gatsby was increasing the speed infinitely. Under this rhythm, the Blazers' rhythm was also driven up. This was not something Roy could control alone. When everyone else was involuntarily speeding up. He couldn't control the speed by himself.

Gatsby seemed to be playing like crazy, but his eyes were still calm. Although he was fast, he was always able to keep a cold eye on the ball while holding the ball. Because the rhythm was too fast, the scene looked a bit chaotic, but Gatsby Cibi was not confused at all. He could clearly see his teammates' movements. As long as that teammate could move out of position, he would not miss the opportunity.

The Knicks' cunning operation at the end of the second quarter directly opened the score to 15 points!
Gatsby scored 38 points at halftime!
The entire Madison Square Garden has become a big pot of boiling water, and the emotions have reached the extreme!

If things only ended here, it would be considered a wonderful game, far from a classic game...
