the great gatsby

Chapter 285 MVP development plan!

Gatsby's words made Anthony thoughtful. A big part of the conflict between him and Karl George was defense. Karl George always felt that he was not very active in defense, which limited his height. He could have done better. better one.

Gatsby smiled and said, "Cameron, I think you came to the Knicks for two main reasons, one is the championship, and the other is that you want to change people's perception of you.

That being the case, defense must put in more energy. Don't worry, you will quickly integrate into the defensive system in the Knicks. We have Bogut, Tyson Chandler and Wilson Chandler These very good defensive players, we just need to defend under their guidance, and I have benefited a lot from them. "

Anthony said happily: "No problem, I will integrate into it."

Billups applauded secretly from the side. Anthony is not a bad person, but he has an arrogant personality and is not easy to talk to. But Gatsby accurately grasped Anthony's temperament, and praised and praised him. Now that Anthony listened, and Still happy, no wonder the atmosphere in the Knicks locker room is so good.

At the beginning, Billups was still worried that Gatsby was not easy to get along with as a young man. It is common for people who become famous at a young age to be arrogant, such as Anthony, but it is rare for Gatsby to understand the world.

The game on the court went to the second quarter, and Gatsby was still sitting and chatting with Anthony and Billups off the court. Curry set off an offensive frenzy at the beginning of the second quarter, and Curry made three three-pointers in a row , he looked particularly excited tonight.

Anthony was very strange: "Gatsby, I found that you don't have much playing time. Now many stars play about 40 minutes. Since this season, you have played about 35 minutes at most. Don't you want to get more data?" ?”

Gatsby laughed: "Cameron, our goal is the championship. There is no need to spend too much energy in the regular season. Go all out in the playing time and then rest more. The playoffs are our stage. The regular season Let young people exercise more, they will be good helpers in the playoffs, what do you think?"

There is no star who does not love statistics. Except for the Celtics and Spurs, other teams still have less star rotation at this time, because the stars all want more statistics, and they are unhappy when they are replaced. Gates is better than this Thoughts are still relatively few at this time.

Anthony suddenly realized: "It is indeed the case. I have to change my concept. After all, aiming to win the championship is different from ordinary teams. Whether it is defense, playing and statistics, I have to make adjustments!"

Gatsby smiled and said: "There is no need to overcorrect. The playing time is less, but it may not be impossible to play good numbers. What we pursue is efficiency. While playing impressive numbers, we can also work hard on efficiency. For example, you played 40 minutes ago. 20 shots can score 25 points, and now 36 shots in 18 minutes can score 25 points, so the evaluation will be higher."

Anthony was surprised: "Can it be done?"

Gatsby nodded: "Of course, as long as there is a change in the selection of shots, we don't use low-efficiency mid-range shots, but three-pointers and baskets. The mid-range is used as a punishment for the opponent when it is the most critical time in the game. The weapon is just fine, there is no need to use this low-efficiency style of play at ordinary times, Cameron, your three-point shooting percentage was 37.1% when it was the highest, this is the reason why the Nuggets do not have a special three-point tactic Knicks, as long as you shoot more three-pointers and develop your handle, then your efficiency will be frighteningly high!"

Anthony was quite fascinated, and when he was wandering, Gatsby said: "Cameron, are you interested in winning the MVP this season?"

Anthony was caught off guard: "MVP? Me?"

The regular season MVP is the base in Anthony's heart. James, who was as famous as him when he entered the league, had already won two regular season MVPs, but he fought back empty-handed. When he decided to join the Knicks, he no longer had this idea. In his opinion, The Knicks have four All-Stars, and he doesn't dare to expect too much in the distribution of ball rights. There is no way to compete for MVP, but Gatsby suddenly asked, and there seems to be a way!
Gatsby nodded: "Although it is more difficult, it is not impossible, but it will be more tiring."

Anthony said excitedly: "Is there really a way? What should I do?"

Gatsby nodded and said: "The selection rules for MVP are complicated, but in the final analysis there are two conditions, one is record, and the other is data.

We don’t need to worry about the record this season. In my opinion, 60 wins is easy. As for statistics, MVP is not the scoring leader, so scoring around 30 points is enough. The most important thing is assists and rebounds. Rebounds should be based on your talent. It's not a big problem, but you have to put in more effort. The key is assists. If you can average 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists per game, you should have no problem winning the MVP. "

Anthony opened his mouth wide: "9 rebounds and 8 assists?"

Gatsby shook his head and smiled, "You think you can't do it?"

Anthony smiled wryly: "When I had the highest rebounds, I had 7.6. It is not a problem to grab a few more, but when I had the highest assists, I only had 3.8. It is impossible to increase it to 8."

Gatsby curled his lips and said with a smile: "What you need is tactics, not your lack of ability. If you can score 3.8 assists without tactics, then it is possible to score 8 assists with tactics, or even It's a triple-double!"

Now even Billups is not calm: "Triple double?"

Anthony said resolutely: "Gatsby, you said, as long as it is possible to do it no matter how hard it is, I have already had enough of those doubts and ridicules!"

Since Gatsby dared to say it, he has his own way. Gatsby wants to shape Anthony into a dream-chasing Green. Anthony’s physical condition is better than Green’s. He weighs 109kg and is 203cm tall. He is 2cm taller and 5kg heavier than Green. He is athletic. It is not even comparable to Green. Anthony is worse than Green in terms of vision and defense, but under the tactical arrangement, Anthony can definitely do better than Green!

Although the game on the field was fierce, it was still under the control of the Knicks. Gatsby simply didn't play, took coach D'Antoni's tactical board, and swiped a tactic.

"Cameron, look at this tactic. You come up to help me with high pick-and-rolls. My three-point threat can attract people away. At this time, when you break through the inside with the ball, there must be someone to help defend at the basket. At this time, whether you pass Whether it is an empty catch or given to the bottom corners on both sides, it is a chance to get an assist;
Look at this tactic again, you go to the top of the arc to hold the ball, me and Chauncey run without the ball, Bogut and Stoudemire cover for me and Chauncey, you just need to watch the ball go to the person who runs out of space. , this opportunity will come from the bottom corners on both sides, two 45-degree angles, and Bogut and Stoudemire who cut in. Is such an assist difficult?Cameron, with your superstar abilities, are you going to tell me you can't do it? ’ teased Gatsby.
