the great gatsby

Chapter 426 Super scorer; Knicks biography.

Gatsby and the excited Thompson clapped their hands together. Thompson really has a big heart, and he can still hit the ball steadily when this kind of purpose is very strong. However, the opportunities created by Gatsby are indeed very good. Thompson's ball is basically The shots were all open. With Thompson's three-point ability, hitting these shots was a very simple matter-Thompson is a historical three-point shooter after all!
Jeff Van Gundy and McBrin looked at each other, and they already had a bit of a spectrum in their hearts-Thompson is undoubtedly the Knicks' main attack tonight!
After the game, the Magic obviously increased their defensive attention to Thompson, but they immediately had to relax their defense against Thompson again, because Gatsby played, and Gatsby hit three-pointers consecutively on the three-point line, forcing the Magic to Increased defense against Gatsby.

Coach Jacques Vaughn is a rookie coach, yes, but he is not an idiot. The soul of the Knicks team is Gatsby. Only by defending Gatsby well can there be a chance of winning. What is the use of defending Thompson? Not breaking the record has nothing to do with him. He cares about winning, not helping others out of the fire.

He was right to think so, but he had to give up his decision immediately, because the power of Thompson's outburst didn't look inferior to Gatsby's.

——Gatsby breaks through the basket, the Magic flanks to help defend, Gatsby passes the ball to Leonard, Leonard breaks through to attract pincers, Thompson cuts the ball and lays up - the 11th point;
——Bogut supported Gatsby from the high post, and Gatsby moved down to help Thompson block Redick. Thompson cut out, and Bogut gave the ball to Gatsby who cut to the basket in the air. Gatsby attracted the attention of Redick and Afflalo. Note that the cut Thompson was emptied, Gatsby passed the ball, Thompson hit a three-pointer again, and the fourth three-pointer-Thompson's 14th point;
——Afflalo used the pick-and-roll to break through, Leonard flanked and poked the ball away, Gatsby snatched the ball from the side, and sent the ball straight to the frontcourt. Thompson's 16th point!
Jackie McMullen, who was far away in Boston, sat in the living room early in the morning and turned on the TV, ready to watch tonight's game. Before the game, he was speculating who Gatsby would create opportunities for tonight. He thought it was Leonard. Nader's highest score is only 24 points. Compared with Thompson's 32 points, this is easy to get.

Or the fringe guys like Harris, but they really didn't expect Gatsby to create opportunities for Thompson as soon as he came up.

At the beginning, Jackie McMullon was leaning sideways on the sofa, drinking beer and smiling, imagining Gatsby tweeting himself and apologizing to himself in the most sincere tone, but as the game progressed As the process progressed, Jackie McMullen gradually became restless.

"Klay... Thompson! Hit his seventh three-pointer and scored a personal 26 points, six points away from his 32 points, which is two three-pointers, and now there is 1 minute left in the first quarter , can he hit two more three-pointers in 1 minute?"

Jackie McMullen sighed, put down the beer in his hand, turned and walked towards the study, ready to write an article, he called Klay Thompson's father.

"...Hi, Mitch, I'm Jackie, congratulations, Klay not only broke his career best tonight, but may also set an NBA record."

"Oh, Jackie, haha, I heard you made a bet with Gatsby. Clay told me about it. Why are you so impulsive? That's Gatsby."

Jackie McMullen smiled wryly: "Blame me, blame me, I just provoked him, I didn't expect his counterattack to come so fast, and forced me to happily walk into this trap with a bet... I I have two things to ask you. One is how to write Clyde’s article. I want to know more about the situation with you, try to give this kid more positive reports, and make him more famous. Maybe he can enter the All-Star this year. Where is the game?"

"OK, I will provide you with more information." Mitchell Thompson promised very readily. This is to help his son become famous. Of course, he will do his best to help his son do this well.

"...Also, Mitch, I want to ask you...what kind of person is Gatsby?"

"...Gatsby." Old Thompson was silent for a while. "To be honest, I don't quite understand this young man. When Clay was not teammates with him before, I thought he was just a talented young man. In addition, his calm personality is why there are so many people. achievements, but since Klay and him became teammates, I have learned some things from Klay, Gatsby is about...a more approachable personality...Michael Jordan!"

McMullen was startled: "Such a high evaluation?"

The old Thompson said hesitantly: "Is it high? Michael has been in the league for a few years before he won the championship. Gatsby is only in his fourth season now. He already has two championships and two MVPs in his hands. , Michael can do this at this age?"

McMullen was silent for a while and said: "You are right, I have to adjust my evaluation of him, Mitch, what do you think I should do next, continue the bet, or simply admit defeat?"

Old Thompson said with a smile: "Of course it will continue. This is good for you and him. Although you lose, as long as you write an article for a game, you will soon become the most famous ESPN reporter. Do you think Don't want to start your own studio, you've done it, and I think ESPN will give you everything you want."

McMullen's heart became hot, yes, this matter seems to be a disadvantage to him, but what is most important in society now is to be famous, as long as it is not famous with moral flaws, even if he is famous as a loser, it is the same. It can achieve the goal of being famous!
Thinking of this, I originally wanted to write a few sentences of articles to deal with the task, but now I want to write him as a series of articles. At that time, the articles can be collected into a volume, and the name may be called Dynasty Generals or Knicks Characters, etc. When the time comes Maybe it will become his famous work!
Just like Bill Simmons, hasn't he been looking forward to writing a book?
McMullen went to collect articles and outlines with great interest, but the game between the Knicks and the Magic became more and more exciting.

Thompson hit two three-pointers in the last minute and scored 1 points in a single quarter!
In the 2008-09 season, Anthony led the Denver Nuggets to challenge the Timberwolves. In the third quarter, Anthony was on fire. He took 15 shots in a single quarter and hit 12 goals, with a shooting percentage of 80%, including 5 of 4 three-pointers and 6 free throws. 5.In the end, he scored 45 points, tying George Gervin's record of 33 points in a single quarter. Today, Thompson's 32 points in a single quarter ranked third. Anthony and the Iceman tied for second, and the first was Gatsby!
Although only ranked third, Thompson really became famous this time!
Anyone who can score 30+ in a single quarter is a super scorer, and Thompson has now entered this field. Compared with the previous three, they all won as team leaders, and Thompson even scored two goals. He is not the second in command, this is only his second season!

There is no doubt that after this battle, people have another impression of Thompson besides his seriousness-a super scorer!

Warriors general manager Bob Myers slapped the railing all over, but unfortunately he couldn't make a poem. He slapped his thighs swollen: "Grass! Why didn't I choose him!"

Jerry West: Because of your pen!Didn't I say to choose him?
7 Bucks fans scolded the general manager one by one, and the general manager of the Bucks also regretted it so much that his guts were green, but looking at Stephenson's outstanding performance, he felt that the deal was... a loss!
Stephenson did play very well in China. Under Gatsby's guidance, he lost his exaggeration and became solid instead. The backcourt duo formed with Jennings is already a powerful combination in the league.
