the great gatsby

Chapter 313 Convincing Los Angeles Fans!
In the third quarter, the two sides continued to return to the field as starters. Kobe's defense against Gatsby became more and more frenzied, and his movements became more and more serious. He didn't waste the opportunity to take a shot. After half a quarter, he scored 9 points and 3 assists. When he was off the field, the data was 55 points, 6 assists and 2 steals.

The Lakers deserve to be two-time champions. Even though Gatsby scored 55 points, the Lakers still clenched the score and evened the score at the end of the third quarter. Kobe's score also reached 40. Tonight, Kobe grinds his teeth and sucks blood. The confrontation with Gatsby aroused his ferocity, and he bared his teeth throughout the quarter. Stephenson, who replaced Gatsby, suffered a critical blow. Kobe scored 16 consecutive points on Stephenson's head !
Even Mike Breen is pitying Stephenson: "Stephenson is so pitiful. It is not easy for Kobe to deal with Gatsby, but it is too easy to deal with him as a rookie. He can't guard Kobe at all. His physical fitness is good, but his Defensive experience is far behind Gates."

The score was too close, and Coach D'Antoni didn't dare to relax. He replaced Gatsby at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Gatsby, who had enough rest, gave the Lakers a blow as soon as he came up. He hit 3 three-pointers in a row. Jackson quickly replaced Kobe to limit Gatsby. Except for Kobe, there is really no one in the Lakers who can limit Gatsby.

Gatsby's score came to 64 points!
There are still 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Gatsby is likely to reach his new scoring high tonight, and is likely to break the 70-point mark!
Gatsby's crazy scoring spread wildly in the league, and many stars were told on vacation or training, and even during games.

Wade tweeted: "I heard at halftime that Gatsby scored 8 points with 64 minutes left in the fourth quarter. God, what can I say? And it is said to be in the matchup with Kobe Got it... let’s not talk about it, my game is about to start.”

Kevin Durant tweeted: "A duel between two historical scorers... What did I see? Gatsby scored 64 points. What's even crazier is that the one guarding him was Kobe... Hey, Scarlett is here on site!"

Derrick Rose tweeted: "Actually, I believe in everything Gatsby does, because he is really strong. Tonight is the time for two of the top scorers in history!"

Dwight Howard tweeted: "Sure enough, it's still the same crazy Gatsby..."

Russell Westbrook: "Hope he's in this good form against us!"

Chris Paul: "I didn't know that an open man could do such crazy things. I'll wait and see what else he can do tonight!"

……

The fans in Los Angeles have been completely conquered by Gatsby. As long as Gatsby scored a goal, he would get the same applause as Kobe. With Kobe present, they certainly would not shout MVP, but Gatsby did conquer them.

Phil Jackson's face was calm, but he was amazed in his heart: "This is a super scorer no less than Michael and Kobe. The key is that he is also a top point guard, with top vision and passing ability, plus top scoring. Ability, he is worthy of my coaching! I must get him! Kobe is approaching his twilight years, if I can get him, I can have at least five or six more championship rings on my fingers!"

After hearing the news, Old Buss came to the luxury private room with the support of his daughter Jenny Buss. After watching half a quarter of the game, Old Buss turned to Kupchak and said, "I hope to see you at Staples. Gatsby in purple and gold."

Kupchak smiled bitterly and said: "This is not easy. Dolan will not let Gatsby go easily..."

Old Bass took the unlit cigar and sniffed it. His body was about to collapse, and he could not smoke for a long time, but he always liked to have a dry addiction in his hand. He said with a smile: "Gatsby's next contract It's going to be big, the Knicks can't afford it, and there's no way to renew the contract unless they disband the current lineup."

Kupchak's forehead was sweating a little. This is not an easy task, not to mention the things inside are not simple. He organized the language, and Old Buss said: "I'll go back to communicate with Kobe, he will want Gatsby Come to take over."

Kupchak settled down at once. That's what he was worried about. If Kobe disagreed, he would be in the middle.

"He did it. Gatsby hit the No.13 three-pointer, breaking the league's single-game three-point record. His personal score also reached 72 points! He became the sixth 6-pointer and the youngest 70-pointer in NBA history. Mr. Fen, surpass Jordan's career scoring record (70 points)!" The DJ shouted frantically.

Old Buss nodded and said, "Look, if such a player doesn't recruit him to the Lakers, would you be willing?"

At the press conference after the game, Kobe had already calmed down. Facing the reporter's interview, he smiled and replied: "Gatsby and I are rivals on the court, but we are still friends off the court. He has won my respect. If possible, I think partnering with him would be a really cool thing."

After hearing what Kobe said, James Dolan said in an interview: "Don't the league punish Kobe? This is recruiting stars in violation of regulations!"

The league quickly intervened in the investigation, but Kobe was just a player, not a coach or a general manager, so it was unreasonable to punish him. However, Stern fined the Lakers $50. The Lakers did not appeal and directly paid the fine.

The famous basketball commentator Kevin Pelton commented on this: "We have already understood the attitude of the Lakers. They are eyeing Gatsby. Once they have the opportunity, they will not give up recruiting Gatsby. The Kobe family is 33 The Lakers are eager to find a successor to Kobe Bryant to continue the glory of the Lakers. If the Lakers can recruit Gatsby, the Zijin dynasty will continue, and the Lakers will be able to maintain enough competitiveness for at least ten years!"

James Dolan feels threatened. If it was another team, he might laugh it off, but this is the Los Angeles Lakers. James Dolan dare not underestimate it. Los Angeles is very attractive to stars. , Maybe Gatsby will really abandon the Knicks.

He hurriedly found Donny Walsh to discuss Gatsby's contract renewal. Donny Walsh was also very headache. Gatsby's contract renewal is the most urgent and most troublesome issue for the Knicks. Now the Knicks They already have to pay the luxury tax, and there is no room to give Gates a big contract.

In the 11-12 season, Anthony's annual salary is 1852 million, Stoudemire is 1822 million, Chandler is 1311 million, Billups is 1220 million, and Bogut is 1200 million. The total of these people is already 7405 million. By then The salary cap is US$5868 million and the luxury tax threshold is US$7115 million. Under such circumstances, how much can the Knicks pay Gatsby?
