the great gatsby

Chapter 429 They Have a Future!

At the end of the first half, the Knicks and the Nets were tied. The Nets are indeed not weak this season. Even though Leonard and Jeremy Lin played well, they still clung to the score, especially Joe Johnson and Deron , Deron's data decline is due to the decline in tactical status, his strength has not actually declined much, he can also send very beautiful assists.

Joe Johnson's offense is difficult to limit. His offensive style is simple, his body is not as strong as LeBron, his style is not as gorgeous as Kobe, his defense is not as strong as Pippen, his shooting is not as accurate as Gatsby, his vision is not as good as Nash, and his personality is not as good as you. Yang Zhangyang, but he can score goals!

His jump shot is very stable, his cut is simple but effective, his tackle is very active, and his personality is...very calm!

This is why he was able to win a six-year, $2010 million contract in 6.

He is a low-key and calm player, so low-key that he is always ignored despite his ability. However, only by being his opponent can you know how terrible a player Joe Johnson is.

The outcome of the two teams was not determined until the last minute of the fourth quarter.

Joe Johnson hit a mid-range shot in a low post single from the right wing and tied the score again. With only 2 minutes left, Joe Johnson's score has reached 41 points. He is in good condition tonight. Maybe he will be more competitive with Leonard. It also has something to do with putting more energy on offense.

Gatsby dribbled the ball for halftime, and Jeremy Lin was off the field. He scored 26 points and 11 assists tonight, perfectly breaking his career record.Leonard is still on the court. Leonard has already scored 25 points tonight, but his face is still carefree and joyless. When both players have broken their career bests, the Nets are still clinging to the score. , this kind of resilience also admired Gatsby.

The score of the two sides is 110:110!

Knicks possession.

Gatsby dribbled the ball for half court, Green ran up a high pick-and-roll, Gatsby stuck to Green to break through, Wallace came up with a big delay, Gatsby hit the ground and passed to Green, Green broke through to attract the defensive pass to Bogut, Joe Johnson pinched Bogut, Bogut was not in a hurry, and passed the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner. Deron knew that Thompson's three-pointer was extremely accurate, so he ran over to interfere, and Thompson turned the ball to Gatsby. Gatsby made a three-pointer!

113: 110!

"Beautiful transfer of the ball. The more critical the moment comes, the more amazing the Knicks' excellent cooperation is. Such young people are so mature. Look at the five people present. Except for Bogut, who is still in his prime. Gatsby is 22 years old, Thompson is 22 years old, Green is 22 years old, and Leonard is 21 years old. Oh my God! How terrifying. As long as this lineup does not disband, they can dominate the league for ten years!

Is this Gatsby's plan?Build a super-aged and competitive roster that will dominate forever and build a super dynasty, like the Celtics once did? "Charles Barkley was taken aback by his speculation.

Kenny Smith was stunned by Buckley's whim.

"Charles... What you said is really reasonable. Everyone is discussing the decline of the Knicks, but few people pay attention to the competitiveness of the current Knicks lineup. This season may be their most difficult. It's time, but next season, next season, when Green, Leonard, Thompson and others really mature, the Knicks will become a Big Four or even a Big Five team! At that time, the league will be at their feet Trembling!"

Nets right, Deron still found Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson received the ball after an air cut, turned around and hit two points in the paint.

113: 112!

Gatsby received the ball halfway, and still asked Green for a pick-and-roll. This time Gatsby didn't pass the ball, so he directly misplaced and singled Gerald Wallace.

Anyone with the surname Wallace seems to be able to defend, just like Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace who make up the no-fly zone of the Pistons. Both are top defensive fighters, and Gerald Wallace is not bad. From the first position to the fourth position, Wallace can be regarded as a tragic figure. Since he entered the league, it was the beginning of the ups and downs, especially in the later stages of his career.

Now Wallace is still in his prime, and his defense should not be underestimated, but now Gatsby no longer picks people in singles, he has this strength.

Gatsby dribbled the ball with his right hand to his left hand, pulled the ball with his left hand to the right to break through, a typical Tim Hardaway style breakthrough, with such a simple movement, Wallace has already been thrown away by Gatsby, and the Nets The insiders didn't expect Wallace to be broken through so simply and neatly by Gatsby, and it was too late to make up the defense. Gatsby easily made a layup.

115: 112!

"Unbelievable!" Barkley shouted exaggeratedly. "Gatsby's breakthrough is so sharp. His breakthrough continues like a hot knife cutting butter, and he bursts in. I have to say that Gatsby has evolved again, and his personal strength has grown again. Oh, he's only 22 after all!"

Netball rights.

Deron used the pick-and-roll to break through the emergency stop and made a successful mid-range shot, rewriting the score to 115:114!

After receiving the ball, Gatsby rushed quickly, broke through to attract a pincer pass to Thompson, who was cutting in the air, and Thompson made a layup. 117:114!

Only 50 seconds left.

The Nets hit a mid-range shot steadily, bringing the score to 1 point with 35 seconds left.

Gatsby catches the ball and rushes quickly, grabs a ball, and hits a three-pointer!

120:116!Only 30 seconds left.

Coach Johnson quickly called a timeout, which was very difficult. The Nets trailed by 4 points, and now they only have one chance to attack, and the Knicks have to give the Knicks the last chance to attack!

Coach Johnson arranged an offensive tactic, but it was a pity that Gatsby saw through it when he executed it. Gatsby directly cut off the ball to pass the time. Deron sent Gatsby to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The Nets failed to attack, Bogut took the rebound, the Nets did not foul, and let the time run out.

The Knicks defeated the Nets 122:116 in an away game. Both Jeremy Lin and Leonard broke their career best records. The two young men were chased by the media for interviews. Jeremy Lin talked and laughed with the reporters, but Leonard didn't even smile. It wasn't him. He's like that when he's in a bad mood or putting on airs.

But this did not affect the reporters' surprise. There was no such thing as a bet. They really couldn't see how outstanding such a young man was. First, Thompson, a 3D player in their impression, scored 32 points in a single quarter, and then Jeremy Lin's command on the field is determined, the overall situation is excellent, and his passing ability is also excellent, just like a weakened version of Gatsby.

Then this Leonard, who defended James in the finals, was influenced by people as a defensive leader, but he did not expect his offense to be able to achieve this level, and even a little ability to attack independently. After all, this guy is only 22 years old. , he still has a lot of room for growth!

After two games, the Knicks gave people the impression that they have a future!
