the great gatsby

Chapter 388 Sharing adversity is not easy, but sharing wealth is even more difficult!
The ugliness of the game is only relative to the smooth offense. For the fans, this may not be a good-looking game. It is anxious, intense, and iron-blooded. Many fans are also fascinated by it. It's the real playoffs!"

Madison Square Garden is filled with excitement and a warm atmosphere.

Gatsby sat on the bench, holding his chin with his hands and watching Anthony and Stoudemire leading the team on the court. After watching for a while, he shook his head unknown to anyone. Anthony was too anxious. He didn't wait for Jeremy Lin to sort out the offense. When attacking with the ball, he always needs to play the ball as soon as he passes the court, and other people can only open up space for him.

Anthony's offense is still very sharp and he can achieve good efficiency, but the team's chemical reaction is also damaged. Jeremy Lin's face is a little helpless. He is not Gatsby. Everyone is convinced by Gatsby's prestige. Even Anthony He was dissatisfied that his light was overshadowed by Gatsby, but with Gatsby on the court, Anthony could only play according to Gatsby's style.

Jeremy Lin is a sophomore, Gatsby took him and made him improve too much from before. It is more than enough to be the leader of a weak team, but in the Knicks, he is still a little brother, not to mention Anthony. He is also a big guy.

Anthony's continuous singles, Stoudemire gradually became dissatisfied, and also asked Jeremy Lin for the ball. Jeremy Lin was in a dilemma, who should he give it to?

Coach D'Antoni stood on the sidelines with his arms folded. His face was a little bad. The opponent might not notice it, but as the head coach of the team, he couldn't see it. Too many singles with Stoudemire have affected the normal operation of the team.

He sighed lightly.

That's it, it's already very good to win the championship this year. The dynasty team is not so easy, just like the Lakers before. Kobe and Pau Gasol's Lakers won two championships. When is the third crown?

There are also the earlier Pistons, the "Bad Boys" Legion Megatron the league, but they can only win two consecutive championships. By the third year, the team has deteriorated. It is not easy to share adversity, and it is even more difficult to share wealth.

Before players win a championship, they desire a championship ring more than anything else. But once they win a championship, their ambitions will turn to other aspects, such as personal honors, such as big contracts. Some people They are even more addicted to debauchery. Everyone has different ideas after winning the championship. Not everyone has such big ambitions.

Some people are content with the status quo and think one championship is enough. Some people are not satisfied with the status quo, but after they taste the wonderful taste of the first championship, they will want two, three, or even many.

Anthony is not without ambition, but his ambition is even greater. He doesn't want to win the championship as the second master, he wants to win the championship as the boss. He has no regular season MVP yet. If he is in the Knicks, these may be all Not his share.

Coach D'Antoni is an old man. He looks at the thoughts of these players as if he is watching from the other side. It is clear at a glance, but what can he do?
Tell Anthony, but the championship of the second master is also good. Isn't Pippen also famous in history? As long as you win three consecutive championships, who in the world will not praise you as a great star Cameron?

No, some people would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen, and win the championship as the second head. One is enough, and two is the limit.

What Anthony is doing now is that he wants to fight for power, he wants to perform better, he hopes to overwhelm Gatsby, and he wants to win both the championship and the FMVP!

Coach Doug Reeves saw some signs, and he reacted -- he let the players start pinching Anthony.

If Anthony passes the ball, the Celtics will naturally break through without attacking, and they can even use the Celtics' pincers to open up a wave of scores, but Anthony does not, he is determined to show himself.

As a result, Anthony not only had a serious drop in shooting percentage, but was also forced to make several mistakes.

The Celtics played a wave of 12:4!

The Knicks trailed by 8 points!
Coach D'Antoni quickly called a timeout, and Stoudemire returned to the bench angrily. The staff handed him a towel, and Stoudemire threw the towel on the ground. There was a commotion among the players, and surprised expressions appeared on their faces. , Anthony didn’t even look at Stoudemire, and just drank from the water bottle.

Coach D'Antoni hurried over to appease Stoudemire. With a towel over his shoulders and head, Gates stood up, went to Stoudemire and squatted down, and patted his knee gently.

The furious Stoudemire saw Gatsby's calm eyes, his anger suddenly stagnated, and even disappeared a lot at once. He stared at Gatsby's warm eyes, nodded after a while, picked up the towel, and The staff apologized quietly, and the matter passed like this, but everyone knew that the Knicks had a gap.

Stoudemire throwing the towel angrily was played on the big screen. The lively Madison Square Garden fell silent. The faces of the fans were a little dazed. Some people were nervous, and some covered their mouths with their hands. Get up, now everyone knows that there is indeed a problem within the Knicks.

Coach D'Antoni replaced Gatsby on the field. He needed Gatsby to control the ball and prevent the gap from widening again.

Gatsby put his jersey over his mouth and said to Anthony, "Cameron, I know what you want and I will help you. What we want now is victory." , so you can use your abilities to your heart's content, but if there is a double attack, I hope you can pass the ball, which is the best choice for you and me."

Anthony lowered his head, and seemed reluctant to meet Gatsby's eyes. He nodded slightly. He may feel ashamed in his heart, but his attitude has revealed it—he wants more!
Gatsby smiled on his face, but he sighed silently in his heart. The thing he had been dreading all along was finally about to happen. After all, Anthony was not a person who lived under others for a long time.

Things didn't get better after Gatsby came on the court. Although Anthony could pass the ball, he had become hesitant. He wanted to score more points and prove that he was better, but he also wanted to win. Wanting to pass the ball, the two ideas were deadlocked, and the result was that he was very hesitant to play the ball.

Rondo's prediction was so accurate, Anthony's hesitation was caught by him, he stole several balls one after another, and played a conversion attack!

At the end of the second quarter, the score was pulled to 15 points by the Celtics, and coach D'Antoni's timeout did not change the situation.

The Knicks trailed by 15 points entering the second half.
