Chapter 278 Playing Balls Reasonably——If You Have a Chance, Throw It!
The Knicks were on the rotation, and the Bulls were also on the rotation. Kyle Korver and Omer Asik supported the offense of the Bulls' rotation. A three-pointer tied the score. Fortunately, Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin's pick-and-roll Bulls couldn't stop them. At the end of the first quarter, the two sides kept the score even.

Under Gatsby's guidance, Jeremy Lin played very well. He dared to take responsibility on the court, shot when he should, and would choose to pass the ball when he shouldn't. His main task was to create opportunities for Stoudemire. Jeremy Lin's Gatsby expressed his satisfaction with his performance, which was quite satisfactory. Although it was not as good as when he was on the field, he was still a qualified substitute.

Jeremy Lin has talent, but there is still a long time before he can fully display it, but it is foreseeable that Jeremy Lin's upper limit must be higher than his previous life. After all, Gatsby taught Jeremy Lin without reservation. Not a threat to his position, Gatsby hadn't even thought about it.

Gatsby is very confident in himself and has a system in his hands. He will only become stronger and more versatile. When his physical fitness reaches a higher level, the more skills he can master, let alone Jeremy Lin Now, all the point guards in the league have to look up to him.

For Gatsby, since the team has embarked on the road to compete for the championship, it must tap every potential of the team. The stronger the team, the better. Most people who only want to win the world on their own They have all become frustrated—the championship belongs to the team, not to individuals, as is the god of basketball, without the help of Pippen, Rodman and others, Jordan is still blocked by the bad boys in the finals off stage.

The process of the game is not simple. The Bulls are much stronger than imagined. Only Gates, the prophet, knows that this season, under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls will reach the top of the Eastern Conference. The regular season is 62 wins and 20 losses. The regular season record is the first in the league, beating the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs!
Today's league is in awe of the Miami Heat's illustrious reputation, but they did not expect that it is not the Miami Heat who can rush to the top, but this Bulls youth team.

As a result, Rose became the MVP of the regular season, the youngest MVP in history. Of course, even if Rose wins the MVP in this life, he cannot be the youngest MVP, because Gatsby is.

Of course, such a powerful Bull is not easy to beat, and the coaches of both sides also have their own tricks. They both know that the other party is likely to be their opponent in the playoffs, so they both want to win the game and retain their psychological advantages for the playoffs.

As the game progressed, the defensive intensity of both sides became higher and higher, the Bulls' defense became stronger and stronger, and the Knicks did not show any weakness. The defense is not good, but the effect of using speed and bounce to supplement the defense is excellent. Wilson Chandler and Gibson are in love with each other on the flank. The two are similar in type, with little difference in height and weight. type.

More importantly, this season was the most difficult day in Gibson's life. From August to September 2010, three of Gibson's very close friends all died unexpectedly in just 8 weeks. As a result, he had no choice but to survive. I flew to New York to attend my friend's funeral.

After the start of the training camp of the new season, his condition was extremely bad. He often lost his mind during training and was even hit by the ball.Fortunately, Bulls assistant coach Adrian Griffin became his spiritual mentor. He told Gibson that the best way to commemorate them is to fight for them, but under such circumstances, it is difficult for Gibson to have too good state.

It is not easy for Rose to win against Gatsby. Gatsby's defense is very tight. When Gatsby's physical fitness was not as good as his, it was difficult for Rose to beat Gatsby, let alone Gatsby now. Although his physical fitness is still not as good as Rose's, it's not much different. The difference is only in speed and jumping, but he is slightly better in confrontation.

Rose's three-pointers are mediocre, and this season's full play is only 33%. Gatsby only defends against Rose's breakthroughs and mid-range shots. Gatsby also allows Rose to take long-range mid-range shots, but Rose's efficiency in mid-range and long-range shots is really not high. , He can only continue to plunge into the crowd to challenge the inside line composed of Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire.

After halftime, Gatsby scored 19 points and 12 assists on 32 of 6 shots in the half. The Knicks' penalty area was full of people, and they were still experienced defensive springers like Chandler and flying men like Stoudemire. Rushing to the basket can only be twisted into a layup. This is Rose's most commonly used move, but it is impossible to require high efficiency. Rose made 20 of 6 shots at halftime and only scored 18 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. Before the game, the experts felt that Gatsby was too soft, and Rose's style of play was tough enough. Well, Rose did prove that he was much tougher than Gatsby, but Gatsby's efficiency and statistics were all overwhelmed by Gatsby!
Gatsby didn't even make a forced shot at halftime. Most of his shots were three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, or open mid-range shots after breaking through, and mid-range shots after going around the screen. Moreover, Gatsby's A strong shot is not called a strong shot, but a dared shot—if Director Zhang was here to explain the game today.

Both Rose and Gatsby took a lot of shots today. Gatsby took more chances, and the Bulls blocked his three-pointers, so the mid-range inevitably gave Gatsby a lot of opportunities. Gatsby’s pursuit of rationality is not that there are no chances. Forcibly shooting, and not having a chance to shoot but choosing to pass, these are not reasonable balls-it is reasonable to shoot when you have a chance!

And Ross obviously meant to compete with Gates. He went in time and time again to challenge the powerful insiders of the Knicks. From the perspective of people in this era, it is impactful and tough!

But from Gatsby's point of view, this is a disease. Going to the opponent's strongest defense time and time again, regardless of the efficiency, the damage to the body is not worth the harm. Of course, you can play like this at critical moments. But this is just a regular season, why bother to hurt your body like this.

Gatsby doesn’t want to play this kind of ball, he doesn’t even want to do the Eurostep. The continuous change of direction under high-speed movement is too harmful to the knees. If Gatsby was willing to practice, he would have become a Eurostep. Master, he would rather use the chasing three-pointer to score. In D'Antoni's view, the chasing three-pointer itself is an important part of the system he has established. Throwing it when there is a chance is not reasonable or unreasonable!
