the great gatsby

Chapter 437 Your opponent is me! (3000)

Griffin is jealous of Gatsby, this is his deep-seated secret. In the eyes of others, Griffin is definitely not a failure, and he is very successful.Now he has been compared with top power forwards such as Karl Malone and Paul Gasol.

Griffin's mid-range shots, dunks, low-post offense, and coping abilities are all very good. Now he is definitely a top ten or even top five power forward in the league. As a fourth-year pick, such achievements are definitely not bad. Yes, but when people talk about the 09 rookie class, they first mention Gatsby, then Curry Harden, and then it's his turn.

Forget about Curry and Harden, at least they are first-round picks, Curry is the seventh pick, and Harden is the 13th pick. And their development may not be much better than mine, but Gatsby's undrafted pick is too much. In only his fourth year, he has reached the No. 1 position in the league, has two championship rings, two regular season MVPs, and two finals MVPs. How does this make others see him?
——The point is, this kid looks so handsome that people don't feel comfortable seeing him, he's just playing basketball, why is he so handsome?
Others will definitely say: That Griffin is the No. 1 pick in vain. Gatsby, the undrafted pick in the same class as him, is already No. [-] in the league.

Griffin was really jealous of Gatsby.

He seriously lowered his weight, opened his hands, and stared at Gatsby with angry eyes. He wanted to prevent this undrafted pick to death and make him lose face!
Gatsby didn't notice Griffin's malice. He and Griffin hadn't had much contact with each other, and they weren't in the same position. How could it be possible to pay special attention to Griffin.

Gatsby bypassed Green and faced Griffin. Griffin assumed a one-on-one defense against him. Gatsby did not break through rashly, but observed Paul's whereabouts. Gatsby was now ready to play singles.

Gatsby seldom plays singles against two people. In his opinion, it is a bad style of play. Teammates obviously have space but don't pass. This is a show of personal ability.Of course, sometimes teammates are really restricted and have no touch, except when they have to rely on themselves.

A famous Lakers legend: Of course, I was forced to make a move like this.

Gatsby changed direction with Tim Hardaway. Griffin is a 208cm, 114kg inside behemoth after all. His athletic ability is very powerful. As an inside player, facing a point guard like Gatsby, he still looks clumsy after all.

Gatsby passed Griffin and went straight to the basket, but he was not in a hurry for a layup, because Griffin would not give up chasing him. He took advantage of the trend and faked a layup, and sure enough, a black shadow sprang up from behind him. Fly by, oh no, two, and one is Jordan, Gatsby waited for the two to fly by before he hit the board lightly.

Griffin had a gloomy look on his face. Being swayed like this meant that he had been tricked by Gatsby, and he felt very embarrassed.

Griffin returned to the frontcourt and stuck Green, waved to Paul for the ball, Paul dropped the ball in, and Griffin tried to squeeze in as much as possible, but Green's bottom plate was too strong, and Griffin, like Howard, They are all strong in the upper body and weak in the lower body, making it difficult to squeeze in against a defensive player like Green.

Griffin received the ball away from the basket. Griffin turned to face the frame and wanted to single Green. Griffin made a few awkward changes, but Green followed him. To be honest, Griffin's breakthrough was in the paint It is also a leader, but it is not enough to face a defensive monster like Green. Griffin can only choose to hit back when he sees that he can't make it through. Fen arched a few times but was blocked by Green, so he could only turn around and turn over to make a jump shot, but Green seized the opportunity to block the shot!
Griffin is 208cm tall and Green is 201cm tall, but Griffin's wingspan is only 2.13 meters, while Green's wingspan is 2.165 meters, which is why even though Green is 7cm shorter than Griffin, he can still block Griffin s reason.

Gatsby controlled the floor ball to launch a conversion attack. Griffin rushed up to take out the ball. Gatsby was not polite and just ran over. Now Gatsby weighs about 105kg, and Griffin is about 114kg. Although there are nearly 10kg However, Griffin was directly knocked over by Gatsby, and the referee blew his whistle, not Gatsby, but Griffin blocking the foul.

This kind of ball Griffin is here to send fouls. During the high-speed dribble, as long as the dribbling player does not actively hit the opponent's standing player, any player who comes to confront him will be called a blocking foul. This pattern Riffen himself knew that he just went up to hit Gatsby to vent his displeasure, but he didn't expect Gatsby to be so powerful!

Of course Gatsby was not surprised. He had already sped up the ball. Griffin came over from the side, and still leaned over to take the ball. The center of gravity was already unstable, and it was easy to knock him over.Gatsby doesn't make dangerous moves, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dare to fight. Sometimes on the court, if you don't fight, you may get injured. As long as you maintain a good posture in this kind of impact, you won't get hurt.

Griffin was knocked over, and felt even more offended. He got up and rushed over to push Gatsby. Gatsby took a few steps back off guard, and Green rushed over and pushed Gerry hard with his elbow. With a slap, Griffin stepped back and fell to the ground after knocking someone's foot.

Paul, a small man of 183cm, rushed over to push Green, Bogut also came over, Jr. Jordan also rushed over, and the two centers pushed and hustled.Leonard and Thompson protected Gatsby, while Caron Butler pointed at Green and cursed.The referee's whistle beeped and beeped, and the scene was full of commotion. The security personnel rushed in to separate the two teams. It took more than ten minutes for the commotion to subside.

Back on the bench, Green was still swearing at himself, and Gatsby went over and grabbed Green's neck and walked aside.

"Drummond, I am very grateful that you can stand up for me in today's matter, really, thank you very much!" Gatsby laughed.

Green smiled: "You are my boss, my brother, Blake's bitch dared to bully you, he was slapping me in the face."

Gatsby nodded and smiled: "Yeah, we need to show our aggressiveness in the game to deter our opponents, but we still score. There is no problem in today's regular season. As long as we don't really fight, it's OK, but in the big game During the game, I still need you to calm down so as not to fall into the opponent's trap, did I make it clear?"

Green nodded: "Boss, I understand what you mean. We can pretend to be villains at ordinary times, but we need to be aggressive during key games, but we must not do anything. Is that what you mean?"

Gatsby was stunned: "...Villain? OK, well, that's about it. No matter what, you can't fight. This is a taboo!"

The referee gathered together to discuss the penalty. After discussing for a long time, the referee gave the penalty. Griffin had a first-level technical foul, Green had a first-level technical foul, and the league retained the right to pursue penalties after the game.

The game resumed, and Griffin was eyeing Gatsby viciously, but as the game progressed, he found that his opponent was Draymond Green, not Gatsby.

"Your opponent is me, are you ready to be hammered by me!" Green yelled at Griffin with his mouth open.

Green chased Griffin fiercely to defend, his hands and feet were almost mingled together, the bodies of the two sides collided with each other making a loud, tooth-piercing sound, like two bulls fighting hand-to-hand, Griffin was angry and anxious, he What he wants to fight against is Gatsby, the No. 1 player in the league, not a blue-collar player like Green - yes, Green is a blue-collar player in Griffin's eyes.

With the help of Jordan's screen, Paul missed a shot. Griffin wanted to take off and make a dunk, but was pushed hard by Green. Griffin jumped up and was pushed away by Green. Griffin was furious. An elbow hit Green on the head, and Green fell to the ground with a scream. How powerful is a professional athlete, let alone an inside beast like Griffin? They are all typed out.

Gatsby could see it clearly, seeing that Griffin used such despicable means to deal with Green, Gatsby was really angry!

Although Green spoke freely, he was a very loyal person, and he was even more obedient to Gatsby. Gatsby had a very good relationship with him, and Griffin had such a cruel hand on Green. Concussion is mild, and the head is damaged if it is severe. It's just playing ball, so why bother with such a heavy hand.

Gatsby rushed over and elbowed Griffin away. Green hugged his head and howled on the ground. Gatsby didn't dare to disturb Green, and shouted: "Drummond, how do you feel?" Head, Gatsby hurriedly waved to the team doctor, and the team doctor had already rushed over.

The team doctor observed, and someone carried Green down. Iguodala accompanied Green to the locker room. Gatsby looked coldly at Green who was being carried away, knowing that they had disappeared in the player tunnel. Looking back at everyone in the Clippers, Griffin held his head up and his face was cold, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was very satisfied with what he had created.

Gatsby smiled sarcastically.

After watching the replay, the referee just gave Griffin a common foul.

Gatsby laughed cruelly: "Very good, very good, it won't be fun if you get sent down."

Gatsby called Gallinari, Thompson, Harris, and Whiteside who were going to play, gathered together, and explained some things to them in a low voice, and the other four nodded repeatedly.

The game returned to the court, and the Clippers did not make personnel changes.

Gatsby looked up at the time. There were 5 minutes left in the first quarter, which was still long enough to leave a lifetime of unforgettable memories.
