the great gatsby

Chapter 268 Difficulty, let Gatsby go!

It seems that in order to become a classic, Gatsby did not play at the beginning of the third quarter. In the later discussion, someone raised the opinion of whether the game was played according to the script, which was recognized by many people. Of course, this recognition was only in the just kidding.

But it does seem to mean giving the Blazers a chance. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks had Jeremy Lin and Stephenson in the backcourt. Jeremy Lin and Stephenson are of course considered better backcourts, but the opposite is the Yellow Mamba. Roy, Roy saw that Gatsby was resting on the sidelines and only sent two new recruits, which made Roy furious—this is really contemptuous, it’s still a long night, and the game is still far away At the end of the day, how dare you humiliate me, Roy, like this!

If the Knicks and his party know this, they have to cry out for grievances. The players on the field were arranged by D'Antoni, but he didn't want to insult the opponent. The conscience of heaven and earth, the Knicks are not big enough to insult the Trail Blazers. D'Antoni's idea is just to take advantage of the team's lead now and the beginning of the season to give young people the opportunity to grow. Jeremy Lin and Stephenson are too young. Needs more playing time to grow.

What the Knicks want this season is not just the playoffs. What the Knicks want is to reach the finals and win the championship. Of course, there is a lot of room for imagination in the reinforcement during the season. A strong helper is of course the best, but if not, then you can only tap the potential in the team. Since Jeremy Lin and Stephenson have potential, they should be given the opportunity to grow. This is Gatsby Also recognized things.

After the last few games, some critics said that Gatsby was too humble and not aggressive enough. The reason was that he didn’t need to train newcomers that much. He was still in the rising stage, so why not let himself grow faster, not to mention that if Jeremy Lin was trained, Wouldn't Jeremy Lin come to compete with him then?
Jeremy Lin was still a little uneasy when he heard these remarks, but Gatsby laughed it off: Of course, his growth requires game experience, but game experience is not only a simple accumulation of playing time, but also more extreme situations: for example If you are behind by a large score, such as a shot at a critical moment, such as the opponent using an off-the-board move, etc., the regular time game has little effect on Gatsby.

The competition between Jeremy Lin and himself is even more nonsense. If he is so easy to be caught up, then he is too useless. Jeremy Lin's upper limit is there, and his own upper limit has not been estimated. Now he shows that These things that come out are just to deal with the regular season. In the playoffs, he will make these experts stunned.

Some people even think that Gatsby is too selfless, and they should take this opportunity to consolidate their reputation, shoot when they should, and get high scores when they should. Speaking of Gatsby is a bit funny.

As a later generation, people in the information age naturally have their own judgments on selflessness, and naturally have their own views on historical status, but all in all it is-no matter what it is, the championship is the only criterion for finally evaluating a player's historical status !

If a player is full of points, assists, blocks and even the regular season MVP, but does not win the championship, then people's comments on him are: he is a good player, but not a good leader, he is very good , but not great enough!
Of course Gatsby also cares about his stats, but what he cares more about is winning the championship. If getting the stats conflicts with winning the championship, then getting the stats has to make way for the championship. This is what Gatsby wants.

So Gatsby trains rookies, sorts out management relationships, participates in draft trades, and even worries about the team's tactics. His only purpose is to win the championship. He doesn't want to struggle like Anthony, Nash, and Malone. I haven't even won a championship for most of my life. When I get old, I still have to hug my lap to see if I can get a ring.

As for those who don't believe that Gatsby can participate in these things, they don't quite understand one sentence: all the bustling in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit!

Whether it is Donnie Walsh, Coach D'Antoni, or even James Dolan, they are all fighting for fame and fortune in the league. As long as Gatsby can bring them enough fame and fortune, or it will cost them a lot of money. If it's fame and wealth, does it matter who Gatsby is?
Whether it is a yellow race or a rookie, as long as it can bring them fame and fortune or make them lose fame and fortune, then this person is an important person, someone they dare not underestimate!
The Knicks didn't know Roy's anger, but they saw Roy's outburst. As soon as the third quarter started, Roy exploded, and he kept ravaging Jeremy Lin.

Roy's ball control ability is very good, especially good at changing directions while dribbling, but now that the meniscus has been completely removed, every change of direction is like scraping the bone with a knife, but he is very angry now, so he doesn't care Consider these.

Once Roy breaks in, it will be difficult for the Knicks to limit him. His fake moves are quite realistic, his movement and passing have a clear purpose, and he is very good at handling the details of the ball. Whether it is cutting ability or making fouls, he always Can score and get free throws.

Gatsby looked in admiration from below. Roy is actually much more comprehensive than him. Both breakthrough layups and mid-range jump shots are his usual scoring weapons. He is very capable in singles and rarely reckless. , he will use one-handed baskets or other methods to make it impossible for defenders to block shots.

Moreover, he has a natural perception of the defender's position, knows how to avoid blocks, gliding in the air or slipping the bottom line to reverse hooks, changing hands and changing angles in the air are all his common methods. If Roy has healthy knees, he can become a The top point guard in the league is not out of the question.

Of course, Roy is more comprehensive than Gatsby, but Gatsby is more outstanding. Gatsby's three-point shooting ability is his most outstanding ability. Other assists, overall view, breakthroughs, layups, blocks Gravity, etc. are all due to his three-point shooting ability. There are not even [-] or [-] people in the league who can break through, assist, and layup, but there are not many who can be as good as Gatsby. .

Roy's outburst allowed the Blazers to seize the opportunity when Gatsby was not on the court, and played a wave of 18:4, which directly stopped the Knicks. D'Antoni called two timeouts. Unexpectedly, the decline would not stop Stay, and even let the Blazers overtake the score!

No, D'Antoni had to release Gatsby!
