the great gatsby

Chapter 325 Peak and Wave!

It was coach D'Antoni who communicated the matter of Billups' replacement. Gatsby did not know the specific situation, but Billups did not leave the starting lineup and only came on the court when a substitute was needed. This was very important to the Knicks. Strength indeed produces good results.

In the five games since January 1, the Knicks have won. The Trail Blazers, Jazz, Kings, Suns, and Rockets have all become defeats for the Knicks. Except for the Spurs and Mavericks, the Western Conference teams have all been defeated by the Knicks. Yes, the Knicks' record has come to 10 wins and 36 losses, with a winning percentage of 5%, still ranking first in the league.

During this period, the final round of votes for the 2011 All-Star Game also came out. Gatsby once again became the All-Star vote leader with 2 votes, and Kobe came in second with 880 votes.Although Yao Ming is reimbursed for the season due to surgery, he still sits firmly at the starting center position in the Western Conference. David Stern will announce that Yao Ming's replacement is Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The starting lineup for the West is: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Love.

The bench lineup is: Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams.

The Eastern Conference starting lineup is: Gatsby, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire.

The bench lineup is: Derrick Rose, Chris Bosh, Kevin Durant, Al Horford, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard, and Chauncey Billups.

After all, history has changed. Anthony and Billups came to the Knicks early and had a great impact on the All-Stars this year. Nowitzki could only play in the All-Stars as a substitute, but because Anthony went to the East, He got a chance to be a starter.

The changes in the East are even greater. Howard was originally the starter, but because the team's performance was suppressed by the Knicks, the Knicks played the strongest start in history; the second consecutive winning record in history, sending the Knicks to the Big Four in one fell swoop. Entered the All-Star, Howard fell out of the starting lineup, Billups had no way to enter the All-Star, but this time he went to the Knicks with a high exposure rate, took advantage of the winning streak, and was voted into the All-Star by the fans .

And Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics was affected and did not enter the All-Stars. This is also a disaster, very innocent.

The Big Four of the Knicks were all selected for the All-Stars, and the limelight was the same for a while. The Big Three of the Miami Heat were also selected for the All-Stars, but they were one less than the Knicks. The Celtics originally had four players in the All-Stars, but Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo was replaced by Gatsby and Billups.

The Knicks are at the top again!
The last game in January was played at the Knicks' home court. The Knicks' opponent was the San Antonio Spurs who made the Knicks feel the crisis.

I don’t know if Popovich started to release water or what. The Knicks defeated the Spurs in only three quarters. Although they defeated the Spurs, the Knicks players didn’t feel very happy because it was too easy. Povich, the old fox, is playing his strategy of playing the regular season again.

Popovich also knows very well that don’t even think about ranking first in the league this season. Striving for home court advantage in the Western Conference is the real thing. It’s not worth it to fight against the Knicks. The Spurs now have old arms and legs. Yes, save your energy and work hard with other teams.

The time has entered February, and before the All-Star Game, all the teams have entered a period of fatigue, and injuries have gradually hit, and teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, Bulls, and Celtics have also suffered more or less Injuries, but to be miserable, the Rockets and Trail Blazers have to be invited to show up and talk about things.

For the Rockets, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season after only playing five games. Since then, major players such as Lowry, Brooks, Hayes, Scola, and Budinger have also been injured, and the Rockets' record has been seriously affected.Statistics show that the Rockets have used a total of 20 players this season, but none of them has played 82 games.Due to frequent absences, the Rockets had to use 14 different starting lineups this season.

The Trail Blazers were unconvinced. The "No. [-] pick" center Oden bid farewell before the season started.

Since then, centers such as Camby and Puzbilla have been injured and missed the game successively, causing the Blazers to often fall into a situation where they are often stretched.

As the season progressed, Roy's knee injury broke out. This knee injury seriously affected his speed, jumping ability and agility.

After the operation, under the influence of injuries, Roy changed from "Kobe's successor" to a mediocre player. Although the Blazers worked hard to reach the playoffs, it was difficult for them to do much.

The Hornets and Grizzlies can also be included in the list of bleak teams. Both teams lost their most stable scorers at the critical moment of the playoffs. The Hornets did not have West, and the Grizzlies lost Gay. .

The Knicks are very lucky. The lineup has been kept very complete. Except for Bogut and Gallinari who have been rested for a week with a slight ankle sprain, there are basically no other injuries. If the cold is counted, there are still some.

The health of the Knicks is due to Gatsby’s constant emphasis on the need for a reasonable rotation time. Even Anthony, who played the most minutes, only played 36 minutes. Anthony is working hard for his first MVP. 22.2 times, the number of shots is the highest in the team, but the embarrassing thing is that his data is not much better than Gatesby.

Gatsby averaged 32 minutes per game and 18.5 shots per game, but he averaged 26.8 points, 9.4 assists, 4 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game, while Anthony averaged 27.6 points, 7.5 assists and 10.1 rebounds per game. It can be seen that the soul of this team is Gatsby, not Anthony, but this is already the best statistic of Anthony's career.

Anthony should be happy, because this is the best season of his career, but he sometimes feels a little unhappy when he is alone, because he may not be able to win the MVP selection if this continues, Gatsby has given him enough The opportunity is here, let him control the ball, let him find opportunities to shoot, even the number of shots is nearly 4 fewer than him, and the time of holding the ball is far inferior to him, but the statistics show that Gatsby is more efficient than him. High, the impact on the game is greater!
Anthony knew he shouldn't complain. Could Gatsby miss the ball?

This is too much nonsense, next year is Gatsby's contract year, Gatsby is willing to give him a chance to show that he has done his best, and if he asks for more, Anthony will despise himself.

He understands the truth, but...
