the great gatsby

Chapter 290 285 Saving combat power!

Gatsby feels a sense of accomplishment. If you don't look at defense, Anthony is an enhanced version of Dream Chaser Green. When Anthony puts down his offensive obsession, his vision will also become very broad.

People who are good at assists usually put offense second. Their first thought when holding the ball is not to attack, but to find open teammates. In fact, this task is much easier than attacking by themselves, especially if their teammates have strong offensive abilities. situation.

Whether it is Gatsby, Billups, Stoudemire, or even Bogut as the weakest part of the offense, he can also take advantage of the opponent's low attention to him and cut to the basket to catch the ball. The ball hits the hoop,

Anthony only needs to hold the ball to observe the running position of his teammates, and then send the ball to the open teammates. This is much easier to do than to attack by himself, and passing the ball is also the most difficult to be disturbed, unless it is pinched. Players, otherwise it is very difficult to interfere, especially Anthony's height and wingspan are very good, his own offensive ability is superb, opponents dare not interfere with the pass at all, and give him opportunities to break through and shoot.

After a few rounds, the Rockets didn't dare to pinch Gatsby anymore, because Anthony's threat was too great, so Gatsby broke out.

Gatsby held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Anthony. Anthony made a pass, and Lowry chased him. Battier had to let go of Gatsby and blocked Anthony's pass. Gatsby easily got a three-point shot. Although Rui's speed was fast, it was too late for Anthony to block it before rushing forward. Gatz was more than ten centimeters taller than him, and Lowry had absolutely no way of interfering.

Gatsby made an easy three-pointer from beyond the arc.

In the next round, Gatsby and Anthony will continue to play the pick-and-roll. Gatsby specifically hit Anthony in today's game to help Anthony integrate into the team. Stoudemire has no objection, he knows that Gatsby will help New teammates integrated into the team.

This time, after the pick-and-roll, Gatsby broke through inside. Stoudemire received Gatsby's ground pass and dunked.

The Rockets have the ball, Lowry finds Battier in an air cut, and Battier makes a successful throw under the basket.

The Knicks went down, Gatsby and Stoudemire came up with a pick-and-roll, Stoudemire went down to catch the ball and turned it back to Anthony, Gatsby did not stop after passing the ball, the left wing ran around the three-point line to the right wing to receive Anthony's Pass the ball, hit a three-pointer!

In the next round, Gatsby holds the ball, Anthony comes up for a pick-and-roll, Lowry wants to rush forward to defend, Gatsby jumps forward and misses Lowry, Battier can't come up, there is another open, Gatsby is lighter Take the ball out with a light jump and hit a three-pointer!

Gatsby's three three-pointers stopped the Rockets, and the point difference widened to 12 points!
D'Antoni replaced Stoudemire, Gatsby and Bogut with Gallinari, Martin and Chandler, led by Anthony and Billups.

In this lineup, Billups started to control the ball, and Anthony used his threat in the low post. He got Battier to sink to the low post, received the ball and played singles, attracted a double attack, and passed the ball into the air. Martin made a layup.

At the end of the first quarter, Anthony has scored 11 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, which is so comprehensive that it is unbelievable.

"It's amazing. Anthony got 8 assists in the first quarter. He seems to have really become a pass-first player. The Knicks system is really good. No matter who comes to the Knicks, they can find their own. Location.

The former Bogut, Martin and Chandler all rejuvenated in the Knicks. Now Anthony has transformed into a pass-first organization small forward after arriving in the Knicks. He plays like LeBron and shows offense. Threats, passes, then rebounds, don't waste chances when they're good. "Yang Yi said.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "If Anthony can stick to this style of play, I think his statistics and evaluation will become higher. Anthony may get a triple-double tonight. In future games, if Anthony can still Playing like this, I think his average data per game will be very comprehensive.

Anthony’s evaluation is not as good as that of James, firstly because of his honor, and secondly because his impact on the game is not as good as James’. The axis of conducting the ball exists, so even if his influence on the game is not as good as that of James, it is not far behind.

If Anthony can win the championship with the Knicks, and James has not yet won the championship, their evaluations will be relatively equal, and Anthony will no longer be the weak one. "

During the session, Anthony returned to the bench and sat next to Gatsby. Gatsby smiled and asked: "Carmelo, how do you feel?" "

Anthony smiled happily, and he said excitedly: "It's great, Gatsby, I'm so happy to play in the Knicks, thank you, I didn't know I could still do these things!"

Gatsby smiled and said, "Tonight is your first appearance. Our cooperation is not very good. As our cooperation becomes more proficient, the power of this tactic will become more and more powerful, but this is just a conventional tactic. Will we have to try five small lineups, and it will be a big test for your defense, Cameron, are you mentally prepared?"

Anthony's smile faded and he nodded solemnly. He needs to cover the power forward in a small lineup. This is the biggest test he has to undergo. He not only has to defend the power forward, but also needs to defend the center at certain times. This is He has never done anything before, and he is not very confident in himself, but the Death Five is a desperate lineup for the Knicks. It needs to be used to save lives at certain critical moments. Anthony knows that if he is not qualified, then he will There will be situations where he is put off the court at critical moments, which is unacceptable to him.

Gatsby smiled and nodded. He didn't have much confidence in Anthony's defense. Anthony's physical condition is better than Green's, but his strength may be worse than Green's. It is indeed a very big test to be a power forward, but now Anthony is still in his prime, and his body has declined in an all-round way before the Rockets. As long as Anthony is highly motivated, even if he is almost defensive, he can make up for it offensively.

At the beginning of the second quarter, neither Gatsby nor Anthony played, but Jeremy Lin, Stephenson and others were on the court. Gatsby insisted on giving young people a chance to exercise. Even though there are many people in the Knicks who can play now, the Knicks Twelve people play in every game.

The playing time of the starting lineup has dropped to 32 minutes, but the efficiency is very high, and the ability of the substitute lineup has also improved significantly. Jeremy Lin and Stephenson have gradually become stable and mature. Gatsby sees this change and is happy. In my heart, the Knicks are accumulating strength now, and it will be the time for them to explode in the playoffs.
