the great gatsby

Chapter 41
Brandon Jennings took the ball from the trainer and took off seriously. The arc of the ball was high and beautiful, but the ball still hit the back frame with a bang and popped far away. Jennings' breakthrough Sharp and very aggressive, but his finishing ability is not strong, and his shooting is not stable enough.

He turned his head and looked at the opposite team. A handsome Asian boy was particularly conspicuous among a group of black and tough black men. He knew that it was the undrafted cover with 29 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals. Cibi, he didn't know whether it was because Gatsby competed with him or because he was unintentional, but since he was a hero for a while, he naturally wanted to compete with him when he met him.

The boss of the team, Andrew Bogut, saw his rookie looking at him, smiled and hugged Jennings, and said, "Why, are you still worried about that Chinese loser?"

Jennings smiled casually: "Boss, how can I be so worried about a loss in the draft? Today I want to let him know that his loss is not because he is Chinese, but because he is not as good as us!"

Bogut nodded in satisfaction. He is very satisfied with Jennings, a young man who dares to fight hard. Although he still has the recklessness and recklessness of a rookie, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Even against the Pistons, Ben Gordon, Giannis Still continue to attack.

Facing the Pistons in the last game, Ben Gordon scored 26 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, while Jennings also scored 24 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Although Ben Gordon has declined, Giannis is also a rookie!
The core of the Bucks this season is Bogut, Michael Reed and Jennings. It seems that Jennings has done a good job so far. If this trend continues, Jennings has become the star of the Bucks for a long time.

Michael Reid is suffering from injuries, Bogut is a defensive gate, and the offense is weak. In terms of offense, players like Jennings are still needed to support the team.

The game officially begins.

The head coach of the Bucks is Scott Scales. Scott was the 1986nd overall pick in the first round of the Bucks in 22. He played 10 games in the NBA for 600 years and started 371 games. Teams include the Bucks, Pacers, Magic, Wizards and 76ers.

After retiring, he has coached the Suns and the Bulls successively. He only took over the Bucks last year. This year is already his ninth season of coaching. He is a very experienced coach and a very capable coach.

In the playoffs that year when he coached the Suns, he successfully overturned the defending champion Spurs at the time. In the second year, he won a record of 51 wins and 31 losses and advanced to the playoffs.

Later, he took over the Chicago Bulls, who were at the bottom of the East, and brought the Bulls into the playoffs. In the playoffs of the 06-07 season, they defeated the defending champion Miami Heat!

In terms of ability, this is a very powerful coach. When the Bucks got Scott's promise to coach, Bucks owner Herb Cole said happily:

"Scott Skiles is a top coach. I am very happy with this decision. I know the fans will be as happy as I am to welcome Scott as the new head coach of the Bucks."

But at the same time, coach Scott is also an extremely tough coach. His toughness and his ability to adjust defense are both famous in the world. He clearly said: "

I never want confrontation, but as a manager it is often unavoidable, I am not afraid of confrontation, as a coach I have to make some decisions that may create conflicting emotions. "

This is also the reason why Coach Scott led the Suns to achieve good results but still only coached for two seasons - his relationship with the players was too stiff!
Coach Scott's starting lineup is: Brandon Jennings, Michael Reid, Andrew Bogut, Carlos Delfino, Kurt Thomas.

Coach Mike D'Antoni's starting lineup: David Lee, Danilo Gallinelli, Larry Hughes, Wilson Chandler, Chris Duhon.

Chris Duhon couldn't help but glanced at Gatsby before he entered the field. Gatsby didn't feel any dissatisfaction. Although Chris Duhon's ability was not as good as his, he was a rookie after all. , Let the management treat him as the core training, it is impossible for a rookie to ride on the head of the old senior.

However, rookies also have grades. The No. [-] overall pick is a grade, the subsequent lottery rookie is a grade, the first round is a grade, the second round is another grade, and the undrafted pick is another grade. Showing such strength again, where does Chris Duhon have room to compete?

Chris Duhon was worried. Not only did he not feel the joy of defeating Gatsby, but he felt a little uneasy. He knew his own abilities clearly. Coach D'Antoni was able to let Gatsby solve the problem at the critical moment. The game shows that D'Antoni believes in Gatsby more.

Now that he is allowed to start, D'Antoni feels that he should give face to himself as a veteran, but Chris Duhon is afraid of offending Gatsby.

This is no joke. In a sports league like the NBA, it is like a doctor in a hospital. Although there is an explicit or implicit relationship between superiors and subordinates, in the final analysis, it still has to be implemented in technology!

The reason why the seniors can crush the rookies is not only due to seniority, but also because their bodies, skills, experience, and mentality can crush the rookies. This is the basis for their foothold in the league. When they get older, they still have to The rest of the fate is dominated by the team.

If the team owner talks about the past, like the Dallas Mavericks Cuban treated Nowitzki, such as the Los Angeles Lakers Buss and Kobe, they can end well. If they encounter vampires like Pat Riley of the Heat and Alexander of the Rockets, To be swept away is their only destiny.

Although Gatsby has various flaws, the upward trend is already very clear, and the upward momentum is also very violent. It is not impossible to say that he will become the team's boss this season.

Gatsby didn't think too much about it. He focused on observing Jennings. Jennings was indeed too strong. If he only talked about the first 100 games of his career, Jennings might be the top three players in history.

He can not only score 50+ points in a single game, but also achieve a triple-double. Before that, only Elgin Baylor had done it in NBA history.

In the first two seasons of his career, Jennings has played 145 games, including 143 starts, averaging 15.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Yes, Jennings can still jump out of many problems, such as unstable shooting, poor finishing ability, confrontational disadvantages, not tall enough not strong enough, and sometimes poor shot selection, but it is undeniable that he is really strong !
