the great gatsby

Chapter 36 Kill the game!
Samuel Dalembert is from Haiti. He is a tall and long-armed center with a height of 211cm. He is so tall and has good athletic ability. Continuous jumping and grabbing the basket is his specialty.

Generally speaking, he is still a player who is stronger in defense than offense. With his excellent physical fitness and mobility, he is still a defender above the standard. This has something to do with his sensitivity to data. If it cannot be directly converted into rebounds Or blocking shots, he often lacks motivation to defend.

Gatsby was facing such a defender now.

Dalembert showed a rather intimidating grin to Gatsby - this was related to his ugly appearance. Ugly people will look more intimidating, and if they are handsome, they will look more intimidating. , the deterrent effect may be less.

For example, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, King Lanling had a "soft appearance, a strong heart, a beautiful voice", a "bright style, a clear and colorful weapon", and a "white woman", so in order to frighten the enemy during the war, she Put on the ghost mask and become the god of war.

Gatsby smiled softly and touched his right shoulder lightly. Dalembert quickly stepped back. Gatsby changed direction and lunged towards his left hand. Dalembert quickly retreated, and he was covered. Cibi stepped back to the three-point line, pulled it up and shot!

"Wow!" Madison Square Garden let out an exclamation, and even the girls who didn't know much about the game couldn't help covering their mouths, staring at the rapidly spinning basketball in the air, afraid of exclaiming.

Dalembert looked back at the basketball in the air in surprise. He didn't expect the rookie to be so bold at such a critical moment, and shot a three-pointer with a single step back!

D'Antoni was also a little surprised. He knew that this rookie was bold. A person who could say in front of the boss that he wanted to be a leader naturally had a big heart to slay a dragon.

But there are not many people who dare to control the ball at such a critical moment. Let alone a rookie, you must know that Larry Hughes is the leader of the team. If Chris Duhon is on the court, the ball will naturally be handed over. Give it to Larry Hughes, didn't expect Gatsby to vote like this?

"Whoa!" The basketball passed directly through my heart!

"Three-pointer hit!! Gatsby!!!...Gatsby hit a three-pointer that won't change! Pulled the score to three points! The Great Gatsby!"

Madison Square Garden seemed to be boiling hot water, bubbling and bubbling. Cheers kept sweeping back and forth in the stadium, and Spike Lee shouted with all his strength.

This young man is amazing!
Coach Eddie Jordan quickly called a timeout. There was less than 1 and a half minutes left. He had to call a timeout. He had to arrange an offensive tactic. At this time, he had to score. If he couldn't score, today's game Just hung up.

"Philadelphia requested a timeout, wow! This rookie Gatsby is so unexpected. I haven't seen such an amazing rookie in many years. Was his heart transplanted from a dragon? Why did he do it at such a critical moment? How can you always have such a big heart?" Jeff Van Gundy asked in disbelief.

"Jeff, we have to believe that some people are born with big hearts, and these people are born leaders. I see the shadows of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in Gatsby...

Oh, I don't mean physical talent or skills, I mean temperament, Gatsby is a rookie I can see his shooter essence...he seems to be fearless! said Mike Brin excitedly.

"It is indeed remarkable. The body can be practiced, and the technique can also be practiced, but it is difficult to cultivate such a temperament and a big heart. I hope Gatsby, a rookie, can continue to improve in this way. I hope to see him walk away one day. Get to the top," Jeff Van Gundy said heartily.

Game back.

The tactic arranged by coach Eddie Jordan is the Iverson Cut, which is a high double screen. Dalembert and Brand are in the high position as the wall, and Louis Williams holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Iguodala catches the ball from the left along the high double screen to the right, and Iguodala catches an open shot, but Iguodala doesn't make a direct shot, a fake that shakes Larry Hughes, and then Drive straight to the basket and dunk!

The 76ers chased the point difference to only one point left!
There are less than 1 minutes left.

Lu Wei blocked Gatsby, trying to prevent Gatsby from receiving the ball. Gatsby received the ball through David Lee's screen and used the width of the court to cross the half court.

The Knicks fans couldn't sit still anymore, they all stood up to watch the game, their hearts beating wildly.

Gatsby made a gesture, then gave the ball to Larry Hughes, got into the crowd, went left and right to the bottom corner for a three-pointer, and Larry Hughes directly broke through Iguodala's defense.

David Lee blocked it for Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes drove straight in, the 76ers quickly shrunk, Larry Hughes threw the ball to the bottom corner for a three-pointer, Iguodala shouted: "Hurry up and defend! "

Lu Wei, who shrunk to the basket, hurried back, but Gatsby's shot was so fast, Lu Wei had seen the basketball already shot before he even took off!

The Knicks fans held their breath, and some fans even gathered their clothes on their chests with their hands, as if their hearts were about to jump out the next moment.

Zhong Zhong Zhong! !Gatsby hit a three-pointer again!

"Game over! Game is over! (The game is over!) GATSBY kill the game! (Gatsby killed the game!)" Mike Breen roared heartbreakingly.

"Incredible! (Unbelievable!) Gatsby hit a three-pointer again, he opened the point difference to four points, and with only 30 seconds left, the 76ers had only one chance to attack, which almost declared the 76ers had lost Lost the game!" Jeff Van Gundy was equally excited and indescribable.

The 76ers have no timeout. Iguodala quickly crossed the half court with the ball, drove straight to the basket, wanted to get two points quickly and then fouled the Knicks, but was interfered by Larry Hughes.

David Lee controlled the rebound, the 76ers sent David Lee to the free throw line, David Lee made two free throws, then the 76ers hit a field goal, sent Gatsby to the free throw line again, Gatsby made two free throws all hit.

The 76ers missed the last attack and eventually lost to the Knicks away.

Gatsby is welcomed by all his teammates, whether it is Larry Hughes or Chris Duhon, or Nate Robinson or Douglas, they may have a competitive relationship, but the joy of the team's victory makes them let go of their hearts. Obsession, after all, they are still athletes.
