the great gatsby

Chapter 40 Bet
Gatsby chuckled: "There won't be any pressure. He is the one who has the pressure. After all, he is a high-ranked rookie, and I am just an undrafted player. It's natural to be able to beat him, but it's normal if I can't beat him. "

Nate Robinson's face darkened. Not only was he a first-round pick, but he had already played for four seasons. However, he was defeated in the competition with Gatsby and became the vanguard guarding the water cooler. Only when he arrived You can only play during garbage time, so you should be the one who should be stressed, right?

Gatsby, as an old ball player who came out of the CBA, would not be affected by Nate Robinson's tricks. Instead, Robinson felt aggrieved by a light sentence.

Not only was he not nervous, but he was eager to try it out. The reason was that he wanted to see the results of his training. What he trained in the system was not only endurance, but also speed. After running wildly with high intensity, he found that his speed had improved. Although not specifically tested, the improvement is definitely huge.

His problem is that he has not trained systematically for a long time, and now he has almost made up most of the courses at once with the help of the system. Although he is definitely not as good as those who practiced since childhood, it is still possible to improve to the average level.

It is true that Jennings is difficult to deal with, but Gatsby is not afraid. Jennings, who is 185cm tall and weighs less than 80kg, is Gatsby’s favorite type. At this stage, Gatsby is afraid of Germany. Heavy guards like Ron Williams, but guards like Jennings, Curry, and Lu Wei are not afraid.

Tonight's game was narrated by TNT's Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. Because the game hadn't started yet, the two were chatting casually there. Although the camera was already working, their words were still unscrupulous. They didn't know it. It's just the style of commentary.

Once Kenny sat in front of the TV and honestly watched the game between the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers, while doing a really wonderful and professional commentary, while Charles was always paying attention to a football game he had bet on Contest.

"Rotgers, what are you doing! You want to die, how could you not know that guy's pass was a fake move, it's terrible! I'm not optimistic about you!"

Kenny Smith’s commentary is often interrupted by Barkley, and then he continues to follow Barkley’s words. In fact, it’s not that Smith is irrational and lacks the ability to control the situation, but that he knows what the fans care about, and the fans pay more attention to their topics. Better than some boring games.

There were no boundaries in their conversation, no matter who they were talking about, no matter when the camera was recording, or whether the words contained some profanity that bordered on swearing.

There were moments when they were just slinging insults at each other—and anyone who watched the show knew that basketball was never at the center of their conversation.And fans often forget who is playing against whom in NBA games when listening to their commentary.

For example, this is the case now:

"Hey Kenny, do you know Gatsby?" Charles Barkley looked serious.

"Yeah, I know, I had my Daisy when I was younger too, wow, it was such a great feeling!"

"Shiit! Kenny, I didn't expect you to be like this. I misunderstood you. I thought you were a good family man." Buckley looked disgusted.

"Hey! Don't slander me. I'm talking about when I was young. Now I'm a husband who takes care of my family and a respectable father!" Kenny Smith laughed.

"Haha, the Gatsby I'm talking about is not "The Great Gatsby", but the Knicks rookie Gatsby." Barkley laughed.

"The Daisy I'm talking about is not someone else's wife Daisy, but my wife Daisy." Kenny Smith said seriously.

The audience sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast have been amused by these two live treasures. They can always change the topic, and then say something very interesting. Sometimes they even forget what game they are watching. .

"OK, the game is about to start. Today's highlight is about Gatsby. On October 10, Milwaukee Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings scored 31 points, 76 rebounds and 17 assists against the 9ers. However, a few days later, Knicks rookie Gatsby scored 9 points, 76 assists, 29 rebounds and 7 steals in the face of the Philadelphia 3ers. Is this a coincidence or a challenge to Jennings? clear.

But the two met at Madison Square Garden tonight. In this place where the miracle happened, it is very likely that they will collide with something different. "Charles Barkley said.

"Oh! Poor 76ers, have they become a proving ground for rookies?" Kenny Smith looked at Barkley in surprise.

Barkley's face was full: "Kenny, pay attention to your words, don't forget that I came out of the 76ers." Barkley was the No. 84 pick in 5, and it was the 76ers who selected him. After 8 seasons, although he has not won a championship in Philadelphia, Barkley still has a deep affection for Philadelphia.

"Wow, Charles, who do you think will have the upper hand in today's rookie collision?" Kenny Smith didn't care about Barkley's expression at all. It was just childish. Sometimes they even cursed each other in the studio.

"...well, Gatsby has a very accurate shot, but Jennings has faster speed, better confrontation, better jumping, better dribbling skills, better breakthrough... still need Did I say more?" Barkley glanced at Kenny Smith.

Kenny Smith smiled mysteriously: "Charles, why don't we make a bet?"

Buckley immediately became vigilant. Although he had the courage to keep his promise, kissing the ass of a donkey is not a pleasant thing. When Kenny Smith mentioned betting, it reminded him of the bad past of kissing the ass of a donkey.

"What bet?" Buckley asked.

"Just bet on who will win the duel between Gatsby and Jennings." Kenny Smith said.

"Can I choose first?" Barkley asked cautiously.

"Of course." Kenny Smith said confidently.

"OK, I will win this duel if I choose Jennings." Barkley is also full of confidence.

"Haha, OK, or kiss the donkey's ass?"

"Haha, okay, it's time to let you Kenny know what a donkey's butt tastes like." Buckley laughed, Kenny Smith also laughed, and the studio was filled with happy air.
