the great gatsby

Chapter 27 Unfavorable situation
"OK, I don't care about your considerations, I need playing time!" Eddie Curry said coldly.

"Eddie! The team has team considerations..." D'Antoni said angrily.

"Coach, the team's consideration is to put the highest-paid player on the bench?" Eddie Curry's dissatisfaction broke out completely.

"Now the team is running in and needs to experiment with different lineups..." D'Antoni said coldly. Eddie Curry had seriously violated his majesty as a coach, and his voice cooled down.

Eddie Curry pointed at Gatsby and interrupted D'Antoni again: "That won't reduce my playing time to less than 10 minutes! My playing time is not even as good as this undrafted pick!"

Chris Duhon, Larry Hughes and others were silent, they didn't dare to participate in it.

“06-07赛季，你出勤81场比赛，场均能够得到19.5分7.0篮板；

07-08赛季，你出勤59场比赛，场均能够拿到13.2分4.7篮板；

You only played 3 games last season, averaged only 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, your weight increased to 350 pounds, and you couldn't even run. What qualifications do you have for playing time! "

Gatsby glanced at Eddie Curry and said coldly, giving Eddie Curry a fatal blow. Since Eddie Curry hates him so much, there is no point in him being a good person.

Chris Duhon and others were startled. Gatsby didn't speak much, but when he spoke, he hit Eddie Curry directly.

Eddie Curry was furious: "You rookie from Bichisheng, what qualifications do you have to criticize me!"

"Apart from your bad temper, what else do you have now? I have no grudges against you, and I respect you very much, but on the first day you started to reject me. I can't figure out why. Please Tell me, why is this?
If it's because of playing time, you didn't play time because your state has declined too much and you can't keep up with the rhythm of the NBA. It's not that I robbed you of playing time. I don't know where your dislike for me comes from? "

Gatsby quickly said that he was a rookie after all, if he didn't win the support of the team, he might be considered a thorn in the side, leading to being rejected and isolated by his teammates.

D'Antoni took a deep look at Eddie Curry: "Okay, let's stop here today."

The training broke up badly.

That night there were news reports about the conflict that occurred during Knicks training, and it quickly brewed into a huge controversy.

"Major problems in the Knicks locker room, veteran Eddie Curry and rookie Gatsby clashed in training!" ESPN reported.

"The Knicks suffered a losing streak, and there was a major crisis in the locker room!" TNT reported.

"The rookie is too inflated? There is a physical conflict with the veteran in training!" USA Today's Sports Media Pictorial reported.

……

The report not only described the details of the conflict in detail, but also included some pictures. The situation suddenly became unfavorable for Gatsby. You are a newcomer, and if there is a conflict between the newcomer and the old man, the newcomer is born at a disadvantage.

Li Wanyu put down the phone in her hand, frowned and said, "I'll arrange a press conference for you. You should apologize to the media, otherwise it will affect your image."

Gatsby shook his head and said: "Sister Li, don't worry, the problem now is on the team's side, and the media's reports can be regarded as describing the conflict truthfully. What they criticize me is just for disrespecting my predecessors. There are many rebellious people here, as long as you have strength, you can gain the respect of others.

The team is a bit trickier. Will the management consider me a locker room bomb and give up on me? After all, Eddie Curry is also a veteran who has played for the Knicks for many years. They will worry about improper handling. The Knicks are a team that never misses old friendships.

Coach D'Antoni was on the scene to understand the situation, and he should be on my side. I am afraid that Donny Walsh and James Dolan will have different opinions. It will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the NBA. "

Li Wanyu frowned, and Gatsby knew that she was getting angry, so he quickly comforted him: "Sister Li, don't worry, the matter is not without a solution, I have something to ask Sister Li to help me..." Gatsby He gave Li Wanyu some advice.

After exhorting Li Wanyu, Gatsby picked up the phone and called Mike D'Antoni.

"Hey Coach, I'm Gatsby."

"Oh, Gatsby, I'm busy now, can you call me later?" D'Antoni's side heard a heated argument.

"Coach, are you at the boss's place?"

D'Antoni said: "Yes, we are discussing things, you can call me later." D'Antoni was a little impatient.

"Coach, I want to see the boss." Gatsby said in a deep voice.

"The boss is not something you can meet whenever you want... Wait a minute... OK, come here." D'Antoni seemed to communicate with James Dolan, and then agreed to Gatsby's request.

Gatsby quickly arrives at James Dolan's office, where a huge row breaks out.

"...I disagree! He is our future!" That was D'Antoni's voice.

"...if we don't deal with Gatsby, we'll leave a reputation as a tough veteran!" was Donny Walsh's voice.

Gatsby knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Gatsby pushed open the door, and a burst of thick smoke came out. The not-so-small office was already filled with smoke. will kick in and turn the office into an ocean.

James Dolan, Mike D'Antoni, and Donny Walsh are all there. D'Antoni and Donny Walsh are fighting face to face with blushing and thick necks, and it seems that they will fight in the next moment.

Gatsby greeted the three with a smile: "Hi, boss, general manager, coach, how are you all!"

Donny Walsh and Mike D'Antoni didn't respond, and James Dolan and Gatsby nodded and motioned him to sit down.

Gatsby was not polite, he sat down and looked around. There was a box of cigars on the table. James Dolan saw that Gatsby was eyeing the cigars, and pointed with his right hand holding the cigar, signaling to Gatsby. Than self-contained.

Gatsby directly picked up one and cut it open, roasted it evenly with a lighter, took a sip lightly, turned it around in his mouth and spit it out, feeling the strong fragrance in his mouth, praised: "The boss's taste Really good, this cigar is indeed very mellow!"

James Dolan looked at Gatsby with interest. Most players would be trembling in front of him. Gatsby was so bold at the age of 19, no wonder he dared to fight Eddie Curry.

"Gatsby, Mike said you wanted to see me?" James Dolan asked.
