the great gatsby

Chapter 308 First in the League vs. First in the Western Conference!

The time has entered 2011, and another year has passed without knowing it. Gatsby's rebirth in his previous life is getting closer and closer. This makes Gatsby feel a sense of urgency, which is similar to returning to his hometown. The feeling for relatives may be a kind of sequelae after time travel.

The team's progress has not stopped, and the average team can't stop the Knicks at all. The beginning of January is to cut melons and vegetables.

On January 1, the Knicks beat the Pacers at home. Since the start of the game, the Pacers have won less than half, 2 wins and 14 losses. Facing the strong Knicks, they can only kneel down and sing conquest;

On January 1th, the Knicks went to Phoenix. The departure of Stoudemire was a big blow to the Suns. Since the start of this season, the Suns have a record of 4 wins and 14 losses. With this combat power, the Suns are likely to fall out of the season. The ranks of the playoffs.

With the current strength of the Suns, of course, there is no way to compete with the Knicks. Nash is old and strong, and his rhythm control and passing are getting more and more demonic. But as he gets older, his footsteps are also slow, which is not very good. The defense became even more messy. According to Wang Meng's words, Gatsby was crossing the road in the early morning.

The easy schedule is over here, and the Knicks will face an extremely brutal trip to the Western Conference to see what teams the Knicks will encounter: Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks !
Well, this team's ranking in the West is: the Los Angeles Lakers first in the West, the San Antonio Spurs second in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder third in the West, and the Dallas Mavericks fourth in the West!
Gatsby didn't know what the league was thinking, and arranged a hell-level schedule for the Knicks. Is this trying to kill the Knicks in the rising stage?

It doesn't matter if Gatsby doesn't understand, the game still has to be played, and the Knicks fly directly from Phoenix to Los Angeles.

Since the start of the season, the Lakers are temporarily ranked first in the Western Conference, but the Spurs are catching up. Everyone knows that this is the most difficult year for the Lakers, because the Lakers have won two consecutive championships. The third championship, to establish a new dynasty, but it is very difficult.

After winning the championship, Kobe is 32 years old, Gasol is 30 years old, Lao Yu is 36 years old, Odom is 31 years old, and Artest is 31 years old. The age is actually reasonable, because the core of the Mavericks who won the championship this year is not younger than the Lakers in history. .

But we have to see the decline of the core state of the Lakers. Starting from the 07-08 season, the Lakers have to play 20 more high-intensity playoff games every year. This has been the case for three consecutive years, which is equivalent to playing four seasons in three years. Intensity, while Kobe and Gasol led the national team to the Olympic finals respectively. After several years of such intensity, it is strange that the state does not decline.

Even so, thanks to Kobe's strong desire to win, the Lakers were still at the top of the Western Conference at the beginning of the season.

Although Gatsby attaches great importance to the Lakers, he is not afraid. The Lakers' advantage lies in their inside height, championship experience and Kobe, the best player in the league, but the Knicks will not be inferior.

Like the Lakers, the Knicks have three excellent insiders. Bogut, Tyson Chandler and Stoudemire are no worse than the Lakers in offense and defense. The Knicks are indeed worse than the Lakers in terms of experience, but the Knicks have Gatsby and Billups are two top point guards.

In terms of top players, the Lakers have Kobe, and the Knicks have Gatsby, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Chauncey Billups. The Knicks are not inferior to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Knicks are now No. [-] in the league !

No. [-] in the league VS No. [-] in the West!

The level of attention in this game is definitely no less than that of the Knicks vs. the Miami Heat, or even more. After all, this is Los Angeles, and this is the Los Angeles Lakers. Superstars all came to the sidelines to watch the game, and Gatsby was very busy because he had to say hello to Hollywood superstars-after all, he came out of Hollywood.

Kobe, who saw Gatsby again, couldn't believe his eyes, because Gatsby had changed too much. Compared with last season's thinness, this season's Gatsby must not be described as thin. Kobe I hugged Gatsby, and Kobe was surprised by the strong body under the jersey, and what surprised him even more was that Gatsby was already about the same height as him. Kobe couldn't help asking: Gatsby, are you growing taller? Yes, you must have 195 now, right? "

Gatsby smiled triumphantly: "196cm, I just measured it yesterday, and I've grown taller again!"

Kobe exclaimed: "You have changed too much this offseason, and your weight must be at least 90kg, right?"

Gatsby laughed and said, "That's the previous data, now it's 92kg."

Kobe was amazed: "What did you go through this offseason, how did you grow so fast?"

Gatsby laughed and said, "Strength training is done three times a day. There is a dedicated nutritionist and I eat double the amount of food a day. If I can't grow muscles like this, then my suffering will be in vain."

Kobe himself is a very hardworking person. He admires hardworking people very much. Gatsby's hard work makes him awe-inspiring: "Is it too much to practice three times a day? It may cause injury!"

Gatsby smiled and said, "Don't worry, my body recovers quickly, and I will stop if I feel unwell."

Kobe nodded.

The ESPN trio.

Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile: "I found that many of the games I live broadcast recently are Knicks."

Mark Jackson said with a smile: "There is no way. The Knicks are too popular recently, and their schedule is also tragic enough. They have faced the top teams in the league in a row. The Knicks are too sad."

Mike Breen said: "Kobe and Gatsby want to talk very happily. I heard that the two are very good friends. It seems that it is really true."

Jeff Van Gundy smiled and said, "It's not fake. Kobe even invited Gatsby to his house for dinner. Such a relationship should be very good. What do you think of tonight's game?"

Mike Breen said: "I am optimistic about the Lakers."

Michael Jackson said: "I am also optimistic about the Lakers."

"Why?" Jeff Van Gundy asked.

"The Lakers are two-time champions with three towers on the inside and Kobe and Waldpease (Artest) on the outside. Unlike the Heat's weak inside, this Lakers team has no obvious flaws." Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled meanly: "Why is there no flaw? Fisher will face the saddest battle of his career today, don't you think?"

Mike Brin and Mark Jackson glanced at each other, and said stiffly: "There are Shannon Brown and others who can replace them!"
