the great gatsby

Chapter 450 Did you hear that, they are scared! (four thousand)
There are many coincidences in the world, but strong people are good at accepting coincidences and taking advantage of coincidences. No matter whether the people chosen by Gatsby are coincidences or not, when miracles appear again and again, it is inevitable. As a successful businessman, Herbert Man, he doesn't think this is still a coincidence. That's what a weak person would say.

If Gatsby knew what they were thinking, he would definitely laugh: If Thompson and Leonard didn't have such abilities, how could I let Anthony and Stoudemire leave?

As the game progressed, the Knicks showed a desperate strength. This is a team with both offense and defense. The offense makes the opponent desperate, and even the defense makes the opponent unable to start!

Coach Vogel saw that he didn't make much adjustments in the future. The game has reached this level, and the two sides can probably guess what cards they can play. There are not too many secrets. The Pacers have played all their cards!
This group of young people is very strong. Whether it is Thompson, Leonard, Green, Jeremy Lin, Harris, etc., they are all very powerful. If they are allowed to lead the team, of course they will not be able to lead the team, but they have Gatsby. When the team encounters a crisis, he is always able to stand up and solve the problem. This is also a shortcoming of young people. They cannot play against the wind, but with Gatsby around, every time the opponent wants to take the lead, he will hit it with a big stick. Smashing opponents dizzy.

A super leader, with a group of outstanding young people, they created such a miracle.

The entire Bankers Life Arena fell into silence. If they lose tonight's game, the Pacers will lose the entire series, and the dream of the Eastern Conference Finals will be completely shattered. Paul George and others are still working hard on the court, but the No help, the more anxious you are, the more chaotic you become. Playing basketball is not just a matter of passion. Calmness, stability, and teamwork are the true meaning of basketball.

After the third quarter, the Pacers trailed by 25 points, and the audience began to leave early. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, even half of the audience was gone, and the Pacers lost their morale.

The Pacers lost the third game, trailing 0:3, and the Knicks were only one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals!
The other Eastern Conference semifinals is also in the third game. The Brooklyn Nets want to compete with the Knicks. They did play well. The Chicago Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals, which is truly remarkable.

But they are now facing the Miami Heat. This season's Heat is the most powerful Heat in the Big Three period. Although the Nets are strong, facing the Heat is like butter meeting a hot knife, and they are easily dismembered. Like the Pacers, they were also easily crushed by their opponents, and they fell behind by a big score of 0:3.

Both the Knicks and the Heat seem to be impatient to meet in the Eastern Conference finals. They solved their respective opponents cleanly, and the two Eastern Conference semifinals were swept, which made people exclaim: The Eastern duo is really strong Too much!
The Knicks, who returned to the Eastern Conference Finals again, have finally been recognized by people. The Knicks have entered the Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive time this year, and this is the third time they and the Heat have met in the Eastern Conference Finals. The meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals was named: Battle of Nere!
This is a battle that determines the overall situation of the Eastern Conference. If the Knicks lose, the Knicks' hegemony will fall by the wayside, and they will lose an opportunity to build a dynasty. If the Heat lose, I am afraid that the Heat will face a crisis of disintegration, because the Knicks next season will probably The Heat will be even stronger. This Heat is already the strongest in three years. If this still cannot defeat the Knicks who have lost Anthony and Stoudemire, it will be even more impossible to defeat them next year.

If the Knicks fail, they have to wait for the next opportunity to establish a dynasty;
If the Heat fail, they will face disintegration.

This is the fork in the East today. To the right is the Heat continuing to compete with the Knicks, and to the left is the huge figure of the Knicks covering the entire East!

Everyone is sighing, when the Big Three of the Heat got together three years ago, they were big devils and villains who broke the rules, but now, they have become warriors against hegemony, and the team that was ridiculed, The team that was ridiculed for having the best football market in the league but failing to achieve results has now become the big devil in the Eastern Conference!
The world is really wonderful!
The game that is related to the overall situation of the entire Eastern Conference is naturally very attractive. The first game between the two sides not only attracted the attention of countless fans, but also the strong teams in the Eastern Conference. Chicago Bulls, Pacers, Nets, Eagles, Bucks 76ers wait.

Although Anthony, who was already on vacation in Miami Beach, did not go to the game, he was sitting in front of the TV early on, preparing to watch the first game of the Eastern Conference finals. Let the fans insult you!

Stoudemire, who has long been retired for the season, is unshaven and has heavy protective gear on his knees. During this period, he was often annoyed and would get angry at every turn. His family members avoided him for fear of being caught getting angry. He was quiet and introverted before. Stoudemire became irritable.

In fact, he himself knows that he is just regretting why he left the Knicks. When he was in the Knicks, he only needed to play less than 10 minutes per game in the regular season to score good data, but at that time he felt uncomfortable. Satisfied, he thought he could play 10 minutes, score high, and win the MVP, but the team just didn't allow it.

After arriving in the Bucks, the team allowed him to play as long as he wanted. Well, actually, even if he wanted to play 30 minutes, it was impossible. The team definitely needed him on the court to win, and the result was clear. His season is reimbursed. As for whether he can return to the top in the future, the doctor said, it depends on God.

He understands what the doctor means, that is, there is a high probability that it is impossible to fly into the sky and escape from the ground like before.

If I was still in the Knicks, shouldn't this kind of thing happen?Xiaosi thought.

In the league office, Stern and Silver turned on the TV early on, and they were the ones most concerned about the outcome.

Stern had a complicated heart. When Anthony and Stoudemire left the Knicks, he was very complicated. On the one hand, the Knicks were his favorite team. He hoped that the Knicks could build a dynasty, but on the other hand He was also afraid that the Knicks would not lose their tail. After all, Gatsby was too young. He was afraid that the Knicks would become the Celtics before. The eight consecutive championships almost made the league lose its vitality.

So he watched Anthony and Stoudemire leave without any interference. The weakness of the Knicks at the beginning of the season had annoyed him for a while. After entering the playoffs, the strength shown by the Knicks made him vigilant: It's still the Knicks, even if Anthony and Stoudemire leave!

The scary thing about this Knicks is that their core members are too young. If the Knicks lock them firmly, will any team in the league be able to defeat them in the next ten years?
This idea makes Stern shudder, and the person who is most afraid is Silver, because Stern will leave next season, and he will accept it. If the Knicks win the championship every year, it will be very important to the league. Said it was a big injury!

The American Airlines arena is blood-red. This is a churning sea of ​​blood. Miami's dark red jerseys and T-shirts form a sea of ​​blood. The overwhelming sound waves fill every corner of the arena.

When the Knicks and his party entered the arena, the entire arena was like hell, full of vicious curses, boos, and chilling threatening roars-Miami fans hated the Knicks to the bone!

If it weren't for this team, the Miami Heat should have had two championships, instead of being empty-handed until now. How powerful the Big Three in Miami have fallen in front of the finals twice, how resentful it is, This is the Knicks team, that hateful young man - Gatsby, he is the object of hatred of all Miami people!

If Gatsby appears on the beach in Miami, it is estimated that the hot girls in bikinis will not be surrounded by those hot girls in bikinis, but the sand bowl-sized fists of Miami men to greet him!
Gatsby listened to the overwhelming sound coming towards him with a smile. Not only did he not feel the slightest discomfort, but he also enjoyed it—the booing of his opponent was the greatest respect for him!

Gatsby turned to the young man and said, "You hear me, they're scared!"

James sprinkled magnesium powder to make the entire American Airlines Arena boil.

The faces of the Big Three are solemn, but their confidence is extremely sufficient. This season they are not the Big Three, but the Big Four. The arrival of Ray Allen has given them stronger self-confidence, and the key is the great success of the regular season, tempering the Heat The heart of the strong!
This time, I will step on the bones of the Knicks to enter the finals!
LeBron James stared at Gatsby and thought.

Coach Spoelstra crossed his waist and looked solemn;

Pat Riley was in the box, with neatly combed hair, a lighted cigar in his hand, and his mouth pursed.

Game start.

Miami's starting lineup is surprising: James, Wade, Bosh, Haslem, and... Battier!Battier didn't actually have many chances to play in the regular season this season, which has something to do with the team's internal standing, but at this critical moment, all the focus has returned to how to beat the Knicks;
The Knicks' starting lineup is shocking: Gatsby, Thompson, Leonard, Green, and... Iguodala!
Death Five!

"How dare he?!" Pat Riley exclaimed in his heart.

"How dare he?!" Spoelstra's face changed drastically.

"How dare he?!" Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy looked at each other.

Standing on the middle circle is Green, he jumped the ball with Bosh, when the referee threw the ball in the air, he just stretched out his hand, Bosh is 211cm tall, he is only 201cm.

Bosh passed the ball to Wade, and Wade passed the ball to James. The Heat's lineup did not have a traditional point guard, so they directly let James control the ball.

James dribbled the ball halfway, and it was Iguodala who defended him instead of Leonard. James and Wade passed the ball at the top of the arc. The Knicks' outside defense made James feel suffocated. No matter how he played, there was no Obvious dislocation, the Knicks switch defenses when they encounter pick-and-rolls, and James is not an obvious dislocation when playing anyone.

After the pick-and-roll, James switched to Thompson to defend. He carried the ball with his back, but Thompson was very stable. It was very difficult for James to carry it in. After hitting James, James hurriedly passed the ball, and shouted in his heart as soon as he passed the ball, Leonard rushed out from the side and took the ball with his long arms!

The five Knicks present were like wasps that exploded, buzzing and starting at the same time!
Leonard quickly dribbled the ball across the half court and passed it to Iguodala, who cut in quickly. De broke through, Ray Allen quickly shrank the defense, Gatsby flicked the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner, Thompson raised his knife and hit a three-pointer!

3: 0!

fast!
This is everyone's feeling. This speed is not only the speed of the fast break, but the speed of the five players passing the ball!
terrible!
This is also the feeling of everyone. The Knicks' five players are like a whole. All five players are moving. When people arrive at the ball, there is no point of holding the ball. Even if the Heat want to flank Gatsby, they can't.

The Heat had the ball, James looked at Coach Spoelstra, Stella signaled to play inside, James hurriedly gestured, Bosh caught Green in the low post to catch the ball, James lobbed the ball in, Bosh tried a post-up single, Sitting back hard, Green remained motionless. Bosh was 211cm tall and weighed only 107kg. Green was 201cm but weighed 105cm. His lower body was as stable as a rock. Bosh carried it twice, not only did not push forward, but took two steps back .

"Interesting, Bosh can't hit Green with his back. He is not a traditional center. Facing a stocky center like Green, he can't carry it in." Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Bosh was a little annoyed. If he couldn't hit the back, he would face the frame. He took a step back and turned around to prepare for a frontal breakthrough. As soon as he turned around, Green pounced on him and poked the ball away with one hand. Get it, don't pass the ball, just dribble and advance.

The other four players of the Knicks split up and quickly played. Gatsby and Thompson divided into two lines, Iguodala followed up in the middle, and Leonard waited for the ball from the three-point line. The reason for the high success rate of fast breaks is in this case. It is difficult for the defense to organize an effective defense, and people will always be missed. Iguodala's follow-up in the middle takes Wade away, Gatsby is emptied, Green passes the ball to Gatsby, and Gatsby opens his hand A three-point shot hit!
6: 0!

As soon as the Knicks came up, they attacked like a storm!

"How dare I? How dare I not!" D'Antoni laughed. "There are two center forwards and power forwards who don't have the ability to play in the low post. All offenses are initiated by two players who are closer to the outside line. Why don't I dare to use the fifth small for such a team?"

After two rounds, the Heat called a timeout.

The Heat's problem is not a defensive problem, but an offensive problem. They were fast-breaked twice, but it was just an appearance. The real reason is that their offense was restricted!
