the great gatsby

Chapter 321 Are you a devil?

Spurs starting lineup is: Tony - Parker, Manu - Ginobili, DeJuan - Blair, Richard - Jefferson and Tim - Duncan.

In this lineup, Duncan plays the center. Splitter has not been entrusted with important tasks yet, and he needs to investigate more.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Gatsby, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Andrew Bogut.

Game start.

Duncan and Bogut jumped the ball in the middle circle. Bogut gave the ball to Gatsby first. Gatsby dribbled the ball for half court. It is considered to be the fifth scum in defense, but few people criticize Parker's defense is not good. The reason is that the Spurs use rotation to hide his disadvantages in defense, but in fact Parker's defense can only be regarded as a player with a lower level. , this is no problem at all against those weaker point guards, but Gatsby is no ordinary point guard!
Gatsby dribbled the ball quickly from the crotch to his left hand. The side of his shoulder was about to break through Parker's side. Fast people are often used by fake moves to cleanse themselves. This is the case with Parker. Gatsby's breakthrough was just a fake move, but Parker's overreaction gave Gatsby a chance to break through easily. Pull, break through directly to the other side, and live a clean life.

The other players of the Spurs did not expect that Gatsby drove straight in. Duncan reacted quickly and blocked Gatsby's breakthrough. If it was before, Gatsby might have hesitated whether to continue to break through or make a mid-range shot, but now Gatsby just pulled it up and shot, hitting a mid-range hit!
Gates has seen the game very clearly. The Spurs have the characteristics of a strong defensive team. They are really good at targeting three-pointers and the basket. When playing against the Spurs, the Spurs will suffer a lot-I didn't say that Kobe is a blind scoring player, but Kobe will indeed perform well when playing against the Spurs.

Gatsby's strategy is like this - if you block my three-pointer, then punish you with the mid-range first, and when you can't hold on and change your defensive strategy, then the three-pointer will shine brilliantly, and you can't defend against it Living!

The Knicks attach great importance to this game. They have defeated most of the strong teams in the league. Facing the Spurs, if they can beat them, the Knicks will be recognized. As for the benefits of recognition, there is no actual It's good, but it's good to say it!

Parker's defense is mediocre, but he is good at sorting out the offense. He and Duncan made a hand-off near the free throw line and then rushed in. He circled around the basket and ran to the left wing. Ginobili's sudden cut Given the opportunity, Parker quickly passed the ball, Ginobili soared into the air, Stoudemire jumped high and prepared to block the shot, Ginobili twisted his body in the air, drifted and hit the board with his left hand.

Gatsby was amazed, Ginobili's finishing ability is really unimaginable, it is the most difficult to control when he is drifting in the air, but Ginobili has trained him into a regular style of play, for Ginobili's Offensively, Ray Allen once said: He is too fake, three people can't guard against him when attacking, and he will fall down as soon as he is touched on the defensive end, just like being shot.

Well, the three attackers can't guard against it... Huh?It seems like something disharmonious has been mixed in - the defensive end falls down at the first touch?
Ginobili's ability on the offensive end is indeed jaw-dropping:
——In the 04 Finals, under the defense of the Pistons' five tigers, Kobe averaged 46.2 minutes per game, scored 22.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 3.6 turnovers. 38.1%, Kobe was strangled to death by the Pistons.

——But in the 05 Finals, Ginobili averaged 36 minutes per game, scored 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 49.4% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range.With the double Wallace inside and the care of Hamilton and Prince outside, Ginobili's serpentine breakthrough left the Pistons helpless.The Pistons actually had Duncan tightly held down, but they couldn't hold down Ginobili.

There is no harm without comparison!

Although Ginobili's statistics are slightly worse than Kobe's, his efficiency is a level higher. Of course, Kobe is the core of the team, while Duncan of the second Spurs is the core. Of course, the defensive pressure on both sides is different, but words Then again, when Ginobili continues to get good data that determines the outcome of games, will the Pistons still ignore him?

Can't you?
Of course, this is not to belittle Kobe, but just to show how strong Ginobili is. Ginobili is indeed very strong!

Billups, who is facing him, is an old and solid defensive veteran, but he can't cope with Ginobili's breakthrough.

Fortunately, Gatsby's attacking Parker couldn't cope with it. Gatsby has passed Parker calmly many times, and then hit the Spurs' defense with a mid-range attack. Later, Parker wanted to ask Gatsby: Are you a man? the devil?

On the sidelines, Popovich looked carefree and seemed very calm, but his heart was already in turmoil. Gatsby's style of play was not efficient. To be honest, compared to his three-pointers, The true shooting percentage is low when playing, but Popovich knows in his heart that Gatsby's style of play is the best way to destroy their defense-Gatsby plays like Kobe!
Gatsby played too decisively tonight, as if the Knicks were the only one who could score. After half a quarter, Gatsby had scored 21 points and made 13 shots. It was Gatsby's shooting data in the third quarter of the game. Today Gatsby reached this number of shots in the first half of the quarter. If the Knicks are not leading the score, then Gatsby is undoubtedly a cancer.

Fans of Anthony, Stoudemire and others were filled with indignation: This Gatsby is really too independent. From the beginning until now, he only cares about his own shots and does not pass the ball. Even if he can make a goal, he is still leading the score, but none of his other teammates have. It's open!
Anthony and Stoudemire have no complaints on the court. They used to be in the Nuggets and Suns respectively. The Spurs have been their sufferers all year round. They know how strong the Spurs are. The Spurs are a team that must be defeated in the playoffs Team, they gathered all the players and coaching staff before the game, and came up with this plan after brainstorming-the Spurs must be defeated in the middle distance!
