the great gatsby

Chapter 357 This is the top scorer in history!
Bill Simmons spent a lot of time describing the last 2 minutes in his "Basketball History", he wrote:
"...In the last two minutes, the fans at Madison Square Garden seemed to notice a difference. The lights were much brighter than usual. The strange thing was that the beams of light shone on Gatsby. emmmm! This is definitely an illusion. But I have to say, if you were in Madison Square Garden at that time, you would definitely put all your eyes on Gatsby. As for other superstars, James, Wade, Anthony, etc., they would not be in your sight. In the eyes!

- Gatesby dribbled the ball unhurriedly across the half court, easy as if it was the first ball in the regular season, Chandler went up to help him block it when he just passed the logo, Bosh thought it was Helped Gatsby upcourt, but after Gatsby got around Chandler...he made it!

He shot from 38 feet? ! ! OK, Gatsby has long proved that he can shoot like this. The old NBA saying, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score!And in the Gatsby era, this sentence has to be added, the farther away from the basket, the easier it is to shoot!
After the three-pointer, the difference between the two sides was only 2 points!
Wade finally hits the ball!I have to remind him that he has already scored 36 points, but this time he caught and played for the first time in the fourth quarter, that is to say, he has not caught and played for 10 minutes!

After a breakthrough, Wade retreated to a three-pointer and missed.

Wade missed a long shot, and Gatsby scored a three-pointer—Gatsby rushed in and took the basketball, passed Bibby all the way, Wade, stopped James at the three-point line, and quickly chased for a three-pointer Shot - bang! bang! bang!With a three-pointer, the Knicks overtook the score!

From Gatsby trailing by 13 points when he came on the court, to overtaking by one point at this time, Gatsby led the team to a 16:2 super climax!
If the game ends like this, it will still be a very exciting game, but it can’t be called [2 minutes to destroy the world]. OK, I chose this name myself. You can also call him [Gatsby Time], and I will return to it many years later. Looking back at these 2 minutes, you can still feel the tremor of the Heat!
Bibby on the Heat's side received the ball from Wade and hit a three-pointer. The Heat overtook by two points, but Gatsby immediately responded. Facing Wade's defense, he took three steps back from the three-point line. One point hit, overtake one point.

Bibby dribbled the ball past half court and was blocked by Gatsby and Martin. Gatsby intercepted the ball and hit a three-pointer, leading to four points. Time was running out. James dribbled the ball quickly past half court and stared at Anthony missed a three-pointer and there were only 30 seconds left. I originally thought Gatsby would slow down and waste time, but he didn't. He stopped at the logo after halftime. Wade also thought he was going to waste time. Unexpectedly, Gatsby raised his hand and shot.

The ultra-long three-pointer also made Gatsby's fifth three-pointer in the last 2 minutes!
The Heat missed a three-pointer, and the Knicks controlled the rebound to Gatsby. Gatsby was sent to the free throw line, made two free throws, and scored No. 2 points in the last 17 minutes.

The Heat still missed in the next round, Gatsby grabbed the rebound, his 2th rebound, and a triple-double was achieved. Gatsby was sent to the free throw line again and scored the No.19 point in the last [-] minutes!
That's the end of the matter. I and the fans at Madison Square Garden witnessed the greatest scoring performance in history. There is no one. Gatsby scored 2 points in the last 19 minutes, and the time was zoomed in on him. In half a quarter, he scored 31 points - in 6 minutes!
He once again scored 31 points in a single quarter, the highest score in a single quarter in the playoffs. The last time he scored this statistic was when he faced the Celtics in the last round of the series. This time he used a shorter time. Scored 31 points in only half the time!
At that time, my head was buzzing, and my heart seemed to be beating out of my heart. I have watched countless games since I was 8 years old and was brought into the stadium by my father. I have seen countless great performances, but I have never seen such a magic With a miraculous scoring performance, the entire Madison Square Garden fell into a frenzy, and countless resting voices finally converged into one voice——Great Gatsby!

In this game, Gatsby scored 57 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds and 3 steals!

......"

Even if you don't watch the video, just read Bill Simmons' book, you can feel how shocking the scene was at that time!

James Wade and other Heat players didn't know how the game ended in the end. The daze in their eyes was still clearly discernible until the post-game press conference. They reluctantly responded to the reporter's question at the press conference, looking absent-minded. It wasn't until a reporter asked a question that their eyes became focused.

The reporter asked: "Why do you think the Heat lost this game?"

James and Wade looked at the reporter at the same time, with the obvious meaning in their eyes: Are you an idiot?
But the answer must be answered, James said: "Because the Knicks have the top scorer in history!"

Wade said: "There is no need to discuss this point anymore. Gatsby is the top scorer in history, bar none."

Gatsby beats Janeway!

Gatsby won over all the fans!

All those who are lucky enough to have watched this game, whether it was at the scene or watching the live broadcast, or those who rummaged through the video to watch it afterwards, whether they are ordinary fans or senior fans, or professional ball critics, or the head coach, Their only thought after watching it was - this guy should be the top scorer in history!

No need to discuss it anymore, he has it, he is it, he must be it!

After the game, countless players posted tweets and paid homage to Gatsby, and countless media sent Gatsby to the altar.

Gatsby blocked these comments. Modern media enjoys every feast-like hot spot. Once the hot spot fades, the audience will quickly shift their targets. will fade, and most people will forget the greatness of the day - except for the championship!
People don't pick players' statistics at random, but they should be able to remember who won the championship that year. They want historical status, want people to remember, and want to be the most Great players, that is to win the championship, to win the most championships, other than that, there is no shortcut!
The Knicks lead the Miami Heat 2:0. Miami is already extremely difficult. Once they can't protect any home games, they will stick out one foot from the cliff, and they will be smashed to pieces if they are not careful.

From Gatsby's point of view, his performance at the end was just for the sake of winning or losing. As for whether he scored 30 points to win the game or sent out only one assist to win the game, the result is the same. As long as he wins, he Can do anything, scoring is just the best way to look.
