the great gatsby

Chapter 309 No Blacksmithing, No Mamba!

The Lakers starting five are: Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Mehta Waldpease, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.

The Knicks' starting five are: Gatsby, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Andrew Bogut.

At the beginning of the game, two Andrews jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Bogut took the lead in getting the Knicks' first offensive ball.

Gatsby held the ball for halftime, and Fisher stood in front of Gatsby. Seeing Fisher guarding him, Gatsby made a fist with his left hand. Anthony Jr. and others opened up space, and Gatsby quickly passed the ball. From the right hand to the left hand, one side of the body was about to burst, Fisher quickly moved sideways, trying to use his strong body to stop Gatsby.

Gatsby pulled the ball back from his crotch to his right hand with his left hand, stepped over with his left foot to block Fisher, and then made another effort with his right foot to pass Fisher directly. The text description seems to be It's laborious, but in fact it's just a continuous change of direction by shaking left and right.

Gatsby passed Fisher and rushed to the basket easily and smoothly. Bynum quickly helped defend. Gatsby slapped the ball with his right hand to the left hand in a high-speed movement. It seemed that he was about to go up against the blue, and Bynum was directly thrown out. Gatsby quickly turned around and licked the basket lightly to succeed.

There was a lot of applause at Staples, and the Los Angeles fans didn't hold back their applause.

Jeff Van Gundy cheered: "Beautiful! Fisher really can't defend against Gatsby, and Gatsby can even break through Fisher all the time, because it's so easy and doesn't take much effort at all."

Fisher doesn't care either. He has seen too many big scenes. For example, when he played against the Thunder in the first round last season, he was sieved by Westbrook. He has seen such big scenes in the playoffs. It's just the regular season, what's the point of getting caught by Gatsby, he dribbled the ball through the frontcourt and handed it over, ran to a 45-degree angle and stood waiting for the ball, but he found that Billups was defending him instead of Gatsby.

What about Gatsby?
Fisher looked around, hey, Gatsby went to defend Kobe!

"Huh? Gatsby is going to defend Kobe! Gatsby shouldn't be able to defend Kobe, right? Kobe is a shooting guard, and he is bigger than Gatsby in terms of weight and height... No, the two of them are about the same size standing together , Gatsby doesn't look much shorter than Kobe, and his figure is also close, amazing. In just one season, Gatsby has trained his body. I still remember Gatsby wearing a jersey last season Looks empty, he fits perfectly in his jersey now, he's strong!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Now Gatsby is not at a disadvantage defending Kobe. He is only two centimeters behind in height, and his weight is also similar. Kobe is the best player in NBA history who is good at controlling his weight. His weight changes from 87kg to 105kg during his career. Increase or decrease with different positioning.

In the past few years, because the cartilage in his right knee has been damaged too much, he has basically kept his weight at around 92kg, so his current weight is the same as Gatsby.

Kobe was holding the ball in a high position. He tried to single Gatsby. After a tentative step, he made a breakthrough. He wanted to fight Gatsby with his side shoulder and relied on strength to run him over. However, the moment he touched Gatsby, the force from Gatsby slowed Kobe's speed. When he got down, Kobe was shocked: Gatsby's strength has reached such a point!
Kobe quickly dribbled the ball and took a step back. He had to start over with a new style of play. Gatsby was obviously not the rookie who could be bullied by his body. Accelerate, want to use the speed to pass Gatsby, he knows Gatsby's speed is not fast.

Gatsby backed away quickly, not only keeping up with Kobe's footsteps, but also maintaining a good distance from Kobe. Kobe felt more surprised than the steak he ate today: so fast!

Gatsby's training is all-round, strength, endurance, speed, jumping, balance, and flexibility are all improved in all aspects, and now his physical fitness can be regarded as top-notch in the NBA.

Kobe saw that he couldn't pass the speed, so he just forcibly shot. My ability to forcibly shoot is top-notch... Hey, shit!The cap is so fast, turn up the arc quickly!
"Dang!" There was a pleasant sound of blacksmithing, and Kobe smiled. If you don't strike iron or mamba, blacksmithing is a good start.

Bogut blocked Bynum to protect the rebound, Billups held the ball for half court, Bogut received the ball from the high position, Gatsby passed around Bogut to catch the ball, Fisher was directly caught by Bogut After hanging up, Gatsby broke through to the inside to attract pincers, and passed the ball to Anthony who was in the air, and Anthony made a layup.

This ball was actually an open space because Fisher couldn't keep up with Gatsby. The defender inside would definitely have an open space when he attacked.

The Lakers had the ball, and Gatsby chased Kobe. Kobe went around to the high position on the right wing to catch the ball, turned around and shot directly. Even if Gatsby concentrated on defense, he couldn't defend the ball in time. Such a ball was too difficult. Kobe would play like this, Kobe opened the scoring for the Lakers.

4: 2!

Anthony went up to the top of the arc to hold the ball, while Gatsby and Billups started to run. Kobe's defense was very hard in the early years, but these years are no longer as hard as before. Kobe is still very bloodthirsty in such important games. It is not easy for Billups to get rid of Kobe's control.

Gasol's defense against Stoudemire was also very good, so when Gatsby had a chance, Gatsby circled the baseline and ran to the bottom corner with the help of Bogut's cover. Anthony immediately passed the ball over, and Fisher was full Gatsby waited until Gatsby made a full shot before arriving. If he could shoot consecutively, Gatsby felt that he could take three shots.

7: 2!

Gatsby again!Kobe looked at Fisher dissatisfied. Gatsby played too easily, and Fisher couldn't restrain him at all.

Phil Jackson sat on the stool, smiled and watched Gatsby ravage Fisher without calling a timeout. The so-called coach who advocates letting the players solve their own problems, of course, when he coached Michael Jordan and When he was a player like Kobe, he could of course let the players solve the problem, but if he still pretended to be so aggressive when coaching other players, he would probably be gone in one season.

He didn't stay calm for long, and after a while he got up and called a timeout, because Gatsby directly pulled two ultra-long three-pointers in the face of Fisher, directly pulling the score to 12 points!
19: 7!

"Fisher really couldn't guard Gatsby. Gatsby passed Fisher like crossing the road in the morning. In less than 4 minutes, Gatsby hit 3 three-pointers, a layup, and two. An assist, and a steal, this steal came from Fisher, and the old fish was crushed!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.
