the great gatsby

Chapter 303 All sides are staring! (Fifth update!)

The game was suspended for half of the first quarter, D'Antoni changed to a rotation lineup, and Gatsby returned to the bench to rest. In the half quarter, the Knicks scored 26 points, and Gatsby scored 14 points, more than half of the total. , He also sent 3 assists and 1 steal. He defended Wade without scoring a point and only got [-] rebounds-it's not that Wade can't attack, but that James is the core of the offense, and Wade is used as a containment. Cibi defended Wade from receiving the ball. In order not to affect the movement of the ball, Wade did not find a chance to receive the ball.

Jeff Van Gundy praised: "Gaze is a true leader. He led the team to score 6 points in 26 minutes, while the Heat only scored 17 points. The Knicks led by 9 points in the half quarter. Among the Knicks' 26 points There are 22 points directly related to Gatsby, either scoring or assisting.

This Knicks team is the real Knicks. The Knicks were constipated offensively in the Christmas game. They could only rely on defense and the Heat to bite, and there was no way to limit Wade on defense. After Gatsby played tonight, the Knicks Rediscovering the smooth and flowing offense, Miami's precise and aggressive defense was full of loopholes under Gatsby's dismantling. Gatsby even used positional warfare to beat the Heat into a mess! "

It’s not just Jeff Van Gundy who gave such admiration, but also other stakeholders who are paying attention to this game, such as the Eastern Conference teams with direct interests, Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Bulls coach Thibodeau, Popovich in the West, Karl George in the Nuggets, coach Rick Carlisle in the Mavericks, etc.

Karl George is not because the Knicks and the Heat have a competitive relationship with his team. The Nuggets have fallen into a semi-reconstruction. These have nothing to do with him. He just wants to see Anthony's performance. Now he is like a man and woman after a breakup , I feel very resentful towards the other half, I just want to see the other party's life is not miserable, but after Anthony arrived in the Knicks, he played the best game of his career. This is slapping him in the face. The team built around Anthony, but in the end Anthony played the best of his career in the team built around Gatsby. Isn't this a slap in the face?
When someone evaluates him in the future, it can be said that the system that Karl George built for Anthony did not even bring out [-]% of Anthony's skills. On the contrary, the Knicks' system made Anthony a better version of himself. Who is better? Good coach, this needs no discussion at all!
This is what hurts the most!
Although Karl George has become a lemon essence, it is not difficult to see the addition of the Knicks system to Anthony from his eyes. After Gatsby left the court, it became Anthony to sort out the offense. Stephenson and Jeremy Lin were responsible for off the ball The running position, Stoudemire and Chandler's air cuts are very powerful under the control of Anthony. Anthony plays like a fish in water under the pass and cut system. The opponent breaks through the attack without flanking him, and passes the ball as soon as the opponent flanks. During the first quarter, Anthony's scoring rose to 12 points and three more assists. He played like James!
Karl George murmured: "D'Antoni is such a genius. He actually combined such a system. Princeton, triangle tactics, breakthrough points, UCL and other tactics can all be found in this system. It's amazing... It's just Carme Long, I really didn’t realize that he was such an excellent player, maybe I really delayed him?”

Gatsby looked at Anthony playing relaxed and happy, and he also nodded his approval below. When Anthony is the pass axis, if he is present, then this tactic is definitely a very suitable tactic, whether it is facing the opponent's main force. Substitutes are powerful enough, because their containment power is at the level of Curry, the peak of later generations.

If he was not on the court like in the last game, when the air cuts and off-ball teammates are restricted, Anthony has no good way except to attack by himself, but against the Heat's substitute lineup, this tactic appears powerful. Infinity, after all, there is still a gap between the defense of the substitute and the starter.

Pat Riley secretly wondered, is Gatsby so important? The Knicks in the last game were completely different from this one.

Pat Riley is the president, he thinks about the general direction, but Spoelstra on the sidelines has to think about the outcome of the game, he is now in a state of desperation, when Gatsby is on the court The Heat couldn't beat the Heat, and after Gatsby left the field, the substitutes couldn't resist the Knicks' offensive. This is not the same team as in the last game. The Knicks are roughly what LeBron is to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of course Donny Walsh and James Dolan did not come to the scene, but facing such an important opponent as the Heat, of course they are very concerned about the progress of the game, and they went to the office to watch the game together early, and saw Gatsby leading the team The Knicks' smooth offense and impregnable defense in those days, and the sloppy and constipated offense during the Christmas game, Wade's chic defense of seven outs and seven ins is simply a world of difference!
Donny Walsh and James Dolan looked at each other: Gatsby or not? !
Union headquarters.

Stern and Silver watched the game. Stern had both worried and joyful expressions. While watching the game, Silver was also observing Stern's expression, and he knew it well.

"Adam, do you think I did something wrong?" Stern asked.

Xiao Hua shook his head and said: "No, you're not wrong, it's Gatsby who is too unexpected."

Stern nodded: "If I had known that Gatsby's integration ability is so powerful, I shouldn't have let Anthony and Billups join the Knicks so easily. Now they can easily beat Boston. Looking at the situation, they would Can easily beat Miami, the Knicks are too strong, this is not a good thing!"

Xiao Hua smiled and said: "You still worry too much. The regular season and the playoffs are still different. The Hulk's performance in the playoffs will definitely surprise you, and Miami is more than this strength, and this year's Western Conference It's not easy either. Oklahoma's momentum is amazing, Dallas' strength this season cannot be underestimated, Memphis's impregnable walls, San Antonio's old and strong, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Whether the Knicks can make it to the end depends On the other hand, even if these issues are to be considered, it will have to wait until the Knicks have won three championships before discussing them."

Stern showed a smile: "You still can see it openly. The league is not afraid of some teams establishing a dynasty. What is afraid is that no team has this ability, especially New York and Los Angeles. These two teams can establish a dynasty. It is indeed the league. Blessing!"
