the great gatsby

Chapter 287 No Dinner Today—Surprised!
After the game, the Knicks had two days to rest. Gatsby yelled at the crowd after taking a shower: "Don't leave even after you take a shower. I'll treat you tonight. Let's go have dinner."

The locker room was full of howling ghosts and wolves. As a Chinese, Gatsby knew the wine table culture very well. When working in China, drinking and eating are the most common means of public relations. After drinking and eating, you can basically talk smoothly.

There is a lot of nonsense at the dinner table, and everyone can get into a ball after a while, which is much smoother than communicating on the court.

D'Antoni saw Gatsby speaking, and he also knew that Gatsby wanted to integrate Anthony and Billups as soon as possible, so he could only deal with the post-match press conference with the coaching staff. Gatsby laughed: "Coach, We're having dinner at the nearby hotel, and I'll send you the address later, and you must come over when you're done."

Gatsby ordered a big sword at the hotel next door. He ate Chinese food, and wine was a must. He didn’t drink alcohol at the table, and the atmosphere couldn’t be uplifting at all. But Gatsby only served two bottles of red wine, and he said in advance Well, the alcohol is just for fun, and he can't drive after drinking alcohol. He will directly ask Uber to arrange a car to pick him up.

After the meal, everyone chatted and laughed. D’Antoni, who rushed over later, admired Gatsby. In his opinion, the problem of the locker room was never an easy problem to solve. Just integrated Anthony and Billups into the team. This kind of means is really remarkable.

Anthony and Billups' little apprehensions have also been let go. Changing teams has never been an easy task. Whether it is a big-name star or a fringe player, there are obstacles to integrate into the team.

Role players and fringe players want to enter the rotation lineup, and they must compete with people in the same position. Unless their strength is irrefutable, they must go through a battle.

A big-name star is equivalent to a department manager in the workplace, and a team change is equivalent to a small leader who comes over by air. Many times, capable teammates will not be convinced, and they have to fight for it.

Not only did Gatesby have no resistance to their arrival, but he also tried his best to help them integrate. Anthony benefited more. Gatsby directly wanted to help him compete for the MVP. This kind of support is not weak. Anthony is only grateful, and there is no other. thoughts.

The next day's training continued as usual. Anthony was aroused with great ambitions. He got up early in the morning uncharacteristically and rushed to the arena for training. Gatsby talked to him a lot last night, and he decided to follow Gatsby's arrangement. Come transform yourself.

Off-ball positioning and passing can only be done by cooperating with teammates, but three-pointers can be practiced by himself. Before he entered the arena, he heard the sound of a basketball passing through the net in the arena. Anthony was so surprised Who was training earlier, maybe the two rookies?
Anthony went in and saw that Gatsby was at the logo position, next to a small cart with basketballs. Gatsby took the ball and shot it with open hands. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and passed through the net.

logo soot!Anthony was very surprised. No wonder Gatsby was so confident when he played. Is this how he practiced three-pointers?

Gatsby didn't notice Anthony, just shot one after another, Anthony counted, at least 80% hit rate!

Anthony was dumbfounded!
Shooting 80% of normal open three-pointers is nothing. There are many sharpshooters in the NBA who can do it, but this is a logo shoot!I don’t know how difficult it is!
Gatsby threw a round, shook his hand, and was about to pick up the ball and continue to shoot. When he turned around, he saw Anthony. Gatsby smiled: "Cameron, so early?"

Anthony smiled: "I want to practice according to what you said. I still understand the truth that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

Gatsby laughed and said, "Come and compete, it's training."

Anthony happily said: "Okay!"

When other people arrived one after another, they happened to see Gatsby and Anthony shooting three-pointers against each other. Gatsby used a one-motion shoot and Anthony used a two-motion shoot, but they were both equally beautiful. Painting, but Anthony's hit rate is not as good as Gatsby's, and Gatsby's shooting speed is too fast!

Anthony took the last shot, stopped panting, and shouted: "Take a break, you pervert are too accurate, I think the shooting is still good, but in front of you I dare not say that I am accurate .”

Gatsby laughed, and everyone laughed too. The atmosphere in the Knicks locker room was very relaxed. Gatsby was strict with the two rookies, but they were not afraid of Gatsby. They respected him. In private, Gatsby Still very kind.

D'Antoni stepped into the gymnasium with dark circles under his eyes, and when he saw that his disciples were all here, he chuckled: "Everyone is here, it's nice to be young, I can't keep up with energy after staying up all night."

Gatsby sneered and said, "Mike, we won't take the blame for this. I'm afraid your nightlife is richer than ours, right?"

Everyone laughed more happily.

D'Antoni laughed and said, "You Gatsby, you actually made fun of me as an old man. Are you afraid that you haven't trained enough?"

Gatsby smiled, "Has the coach arranged special training for me?"

D'Antoni's face darkened: "No! Gatsby, I'm not telling you, don't torment your body like this just because you're young. You're going to have problems if you practice like this. Do strength training three times a day. This kind of training is too harmful to the body." Big!”

Anthony and Billups were taken aback: "Practice three times a day? Is this a joke?" They turned their heads to look at the other teammates, all of them looked ashamed and beaten, it didn't look like a fake, they practiced three times a day, God, this is random again and again, right?
Then others were warming up, and Gatsby had already warmed up, so he went directly to strength training. Anthony and Billups went over to watch Gatsby doing bench press accompanied by a physical trainer.

训练师帮盖慈比计数：“11……12……13……14……15……加油！……17……18，good，19……20！fine，小心点。”

Anthony went over to pull Gatsby up, and asked casually, "How many kilograms?"

The trainer replied: "84kg."

Anthony's eyes widened all of a sudden: "20 times 84kg?"

The trainer smiled and said: "This is not the limit, you can do 29 at most, but you don't need to be so intense in the morning, and you will have to train later."

Both Anthony and Billups were shocked. As a small forward, Anthony remembered that he could only push 84 times at 7kg when he was drafted. Gatsby was only a point guard, but he was able to push 29 times without affecting his feel at all!
Awesome!
