the great gatsby

Chapter 404 It's obvious!

The Knicks are playing solidly step by step. Gatsby sorts out the offense and slowly accumulates various advantages. He is building a big net. He may not see much effect in a short period of time, but he has accumulated to a certain extent. , it will come with a bang like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, crushing the Miami people to death and unable to move.

The qualitative change occurred when entering the second half of the fourth quarter. Gatsby asked for a small lineup, namely Gatsby, Thompson, Leonard, Anthony and Stoudemire.

When Pat Riley saw this lineup, he stood up from his seat in a gaffe. His expression was a little subtle. The current score is 91:99, with an eight-point difference and half a quarter. If the Knicks Playing according to their original rhythm, the Heat may not be able to reverse it, but of course it is possible to reverse it, because the difference in scores is not big and there is still a lot of time.

But the Knicks still resorted to a desperate lineup. This lineup will either take away the victory in a wave, or it may be tied by the Heat in a wave. This is a risky lineup. If the score is not behind, there is no need at all!
Unless-the Knicks think this lineup is the most suitable!

James was out of breath, put his hands on his knees, and looked up at the five Knicks who came up from the opposite side. He was a little strange. He was in a small lineup at this time...he was shocked!
All the clues are linked...

...suddenly opened up the score, forcing him and Wade to be on the court for a long time. He and Wade have been on the court for 40 consecutive minutes;
...Blocking role players, forcing him and Wade to break through singles continuously;
...the offense keeps forcing him and Wade to dislocate the paint:
...their defenders will continue to run without the ball, forcing them to use more physical strength to run and chase!

Everything, everything...

——It’s all about forcing the two of them to consume more energy!

James raised his head and looked at Gatsby, the young man with his chin raised slightly indifferently. His outstanding appearance put him under even greater pressure.

Although strength is more important on the basketball court, people without strength, even with a handsome face, cannot gain a foothold here, but Gatsby's strength has long been overlooked... Oh, no, his strength cannot Let people ignore his appearance, but make him more intimidating!
People with strong strength and good looks have always been children of other people. When ordinary people see such people, they will feel inferior. This is the pressure from the top of the biological chain, because they are handsome. For a man with strength, even mating/mating rights are given priority!

... All the layouts should have been made by this young man, right?
Coach D'Antoni clenched his fists nervously. When Gatsby proposed this strategy to him, he still didn't quite understand it, because the entire implementation process was too complicated. The Heat surpassed the score and even took control of the situation!
Fortunately, the situation has always been under control. Now that all the preparations have been made, it depends on whether it can happen as planned.

The Heat had the ball, Chalmers held the ball at the top of the arc, James cut out to catch the ball, Wade circled from the left wing to the right wing to catch the ball, at the moment of receiving the ball, Gatsby jumped down from the upper line to pinch Wade, Wade just dropped the ball, Gatsby and Thompson held up their hands and quickly drove away Wade, forming an encirclement circle around Wade with the help of the baseline.

James hurried over to catch it, Wade hurriedly passed the ball, Gatsby rubbed the ball, slightly changed the direction of the ball, Leonard rushed out from James' side and stabbed the ball away with one hand, and Get the ball down before James.

"run!"

Gatsby shouted and sprinted quickly. Anthony, Stoudemire, and Thompson also sprinted quickly. Leonard dribbled the ball quickly and rushed across the half court. Gatsby was already near the three-point line, and Leonard passed the ball. , Gatsby used a fake move to shake Chalmers and rush in, forcing the Heat to shrink the defense. Then Gatsby flicked the ball to Thompson who rushed to the bottom corner. Thompson immediately took off after receiving the ball and hit a three-pointer!

"Wow!" Madison Square Garden boiled up!

91: 102!

On the next possession, the Knicks flanked Bosh in the low post, forced him to miss a pass, and hit another counterattack. The Heat quickly called a timeout!
In the two counterattacks, the Knicks' plot has been clearly revealed:

Use the first three quarters to force the Heat to reduce the number of rotations, which consumes the Heat's physical energy. At the critical moment, they suddenly use a small lineup, use the rotation speed of the five small players to flank and steal, increase the speed to the extreme when attacking, and then defeat the Heat in one fell swoop!
Is this a new trick?
No, consuming the opponent's physical strength is not a new trick. Many coaches use it in many cases, but it is very rare to use it like the Knicks. No shortage of!

The execution of the Knicks is simply terrible!
Pat Riley sat back on the sofa, and the cigar that had been extinguished at some point was relit. He smoked carefully, his eyes no longer focused on the game, but thinking about something.

Next, Madison Square Garden boiled again and again. The Heat could no longer restrain the Knicks. Their offense stagnated and their defense could not stop. The so-called defeat is enough to describe the situation at this time.

The fans cheered and cheered. What they could see was that the Knicks and the Miami Heat fought for more than three quarters. At the last moment, the Knicks broke out suddenly and won the game, but the calculations hidden in it could not be seen of.

These parties will never admit that there is a so-called strategy in it. D'Antoni said in an interview after the game: "Today's game was very difficult. The Heat are a super strong team. We beat them just because our luck was better. , not because we are stronger..."

D'Antoni doesn't say -- ah, this is our elaborate plan, how we do it, how we do it, that's what it is!
These strategies will appear in the form of conjectures in the writings of some commentators. As for the truth or falsehood, even the experts themselves are not sure, but they are well aware of the heat involved-this is real Strategy!

But what can they change?
……

"...This is a conspiracy, and it is also an upright conspiracy. Even if Coach Spoelstra sees our plan, what can he do to let Janeway rest more?

Impossible, they can't do this in the regular season, their bench strength is not as good as ours, if they can open the score when James is on the court, it's nothing, they can't do it, then they have to let Janeway has been on the court, using the rotation time to close the score...

Therefore, they clearly know our strategy, so they must continue to fight like this! "

Gatsby spoke to D'Antoni in private.
