the great gatsby

Chapter 345 Inflated!
Doc Reeves made adjustments to the personnel, replacing Jeff Green and O'Neal.

Jeff Van Gundy praised: "This is a good adjustment. Bogut's offensive ability is slightly worse. Garnett is at the top of the center position. Jeff Green can defend Gallinari. Garnett's perimeter defense is better than O'Neal's. Well, Coach Rivers hopes to use this adjustment to curb Gatsby's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, and it should be effective."

Green's playing made the Celtics faster. He had a mid-range shot. After running off the ball, he received a pass from Pierce and hit a mid-range shot from the right-wing waist.

Gatsby obviously felt the difference when he came up. Garnett's footsteps were much slower than when he was young, but he was much better than O'Neal. Garnett could restrain himself when there was a pinch, Gatsby felt. to the pressure.

Since you can't hit the pick and roll, then hit the wrong position!
Gatsby still called Bogut to come up with the pick-and-roll while holding the ball. Jeff Van Gundy snorted, "Gatsby is a very smart player. This lineup is obviously designed for him by the Celtics. Why is he still playing like this?"

Bogut blocked Rondo, Garnett attacked Gatsby, and Gatsby protected the ball and waited for Bogut's pass. The ball depends on Rondo's choice. If Rondo chooses to flank, Gatsby will Pass the ball to Bogut. Although Bogut has no way to directly attack the basket, with Bogut's ability to distribute the ball, Gallinari and Wilson Chandler on the wings will have the opportunity to make three-pointers;

If Rondo chooses to defend Bogut...

Rondo seems to trust Garnett, he kept up with Bogut!

Gatsby took two steps back to create space. Others opened up space for Gatsby to play in singles. Gatsby rarely played in singles, especially in the regular season. He often shot or shot after pick-and-roll. Either he shoots directly after moving without the ball, and rarely breaks through the defender with the ball in singles. In Gatsby's view, it is unnecessary, but this is the playoffs!
Gatsby bent over to dribble, and Garnett put his center of gravity very low. Gatsby's breakthroughs are rare, but everyone knows that Gatsby's breakthroughs are not easy.

Several consecutive dribbles under the crotch, the center of gravity fluctuates from left to right, with a strong sense of rhythm, but the movement is not fast. Of course, this is the case in the eyes of others, but it is not the case in Garnett's eyes. In Garnett's eyes It seems that every small movement of Gatsby may be a fake move, but it can become a real breakthrough at any time. Garnett can only change his footsteps constantly with the change of Gatsby's center of gravity.

After Gatsby dribbled a few times, he suddenly took a small step back, pulled up and shot!
Garnett took off a step slower due to a change in his own center of gravity. Although his height and wingspan surpassed Gatsby's, such a small time difference prevented him from interfering with Gatsby's shooting.

If any future fans see Gatsby's shot, they will blurt out: James Harden!

That's right, this is James Harden's step-back shot from the three-point line. He dribbles continuously under the crotch to change the center of gravity, and suddenly steps back to shoot. This trick seems simple, but there are not many people who can prevent it. Killer-level skills, Harden relies on this trick to play all over the league and rarely meets opponents. He was able to win the regular season MVP in the 17-18 season because of the threat of his trick.

Gatsby knows that after entering the playoffs, any situation may be encountered. Although the team is strong enough and has many routines, it can almost deal with most situations, but in Gatsby's opinion, it is still not enough. He believes in his teammates, but he believes in his own ability even more, so after he has enough physical fitness, he reserves a lot of skills to deal with such situations.

Three point hit!

Yang Yi said in surprise: "It's the first time I've seen Gatsby use this style of play, he also used the retreat step before, but that kind of starting style is different from this one.

In the past, the pace was large and the dribble was much larger, which was more similar to Deron Williams' style of play. Now the pace is fine and small, but it has a unique sense of rhythm.

This change in rhythmic center of gravity makes it difficult for defenders to keep up. Garnett's height, wingspan and speed are enough to interfere with Gatsby, but under this change in rhythmic center of gravity, Garnett's reaction is obviously a beat slower .

The potential of this style of play is great. The rhythm changes are very difficult for opponents to interfere. Whether they can advance or not depends entirely on Gatesby's own touch, and it is difficult for opponents to interfere! "

Garnett was a little surprised. He thought Gates was trying to break through him. With his height and wingspan, few guards dared to throw it directly in front of him, because it was too easy to be taken off, but Garnett But Te knew that it was not his own carelessness, but that Gatsby's rhythm was too difficult to grasp.

Gatsby simply didn't run the pick-and-roll on the next possession—he swelled!
He held the ball at the top of the arc and directly clenched his fist to signal for a single.

Coach D'Antoni showed suspicion. He had never seen Gatsby so obsessed with playing singles. He knew Gatsby was a very team player. After that, the number of singles was also reduced, but now Gatsby is playing consecutive singles!

Rondo and Gatesby are not afraid of singles. He is different from inside players. He has advantages in defensive breakthroughs. He has fast speed and long wingspan. It is not easy for ordinary guards to single him. Gatsby can Suppressing him in each matchup is not because Gatsby's singles are more powerful, but Gatsby has changed too much. If Gatsby can fall into singles, this is in line with his idea!

——Rondo didn't know what he was going to face.

Rondo opened his arms like a long-armed spider, and he was confident that no one could easily break through him.

Gatsby didn't need to break through him, he dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, after shaking Rondo's center of gravity, he took a small step back, slightly opened the distance from Rondo, directly pulled up and shot, with a height of more than ten centimeters Even if Rondo's speed is fast, it can't interfere with Gatsby's shooting.

Three points again!

Coach D'Antoni gave a high five, well done!
Coach D'Antoni was greatly influenced by Gatsby. He accepted passing and cutting, accepted Princeton and many other tactics into his tactical system, and created a tactical system with passing as the core. However, in his basketball philosophy, a A point guard who dominates everything is what he wants to see the most. Now, Gatsby is playing the basketball he has always wanted to see!

Doug Reeves was inexplicably surprised. This style of play seemed a bit of a joke. The other four players pulled apart, and one person singled out from outside the three-point line.

The North Shore Garden has become a little quiet. This style of play does not look gorgeous, there is no precise pass like a gear, and there is no complicated pick-and-roll. It is just four people pulling apart and one person singled out. It looks funny and ridiculous. But Gatsby can get in!

This style of play that abandons all complicated systems is like two swordsmen stabbing each other with swords, but it makes Celtic fans feel icy cold!
