the great gatsby

Chapter 456 Collapse!

Gatsby laughed, "Yeah, yeah."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but it was unclear what they were laughing at.

"Trash!" Another ashtray in Pat Riley's office. "I don't even know how to do black hands, what else can I do!"

When Pat Riley saw Gatsby appearing on the field, he was furious. One person yelled and threw things in the office. Everyone outside the office held their breath, and no one dared to hit the gun.

It took a while for Pat Riley to calm down. He took out his cigar and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he wanted to flick the ashtray, only to remember that the ashtray was dropped by himself. Fortunately, his office was carpeted, and the ashtray met again. , he could only pick up the ashtray by himself.

No wonder he was furious. This time he lost his wife and lost his army. Not only was he fined 35 US dollars by the league, but Haslem, an important defensive point, was suspended again. The key is that the new president probably also hung up No, the next two years may not be very good.

As for the reputation, Pat Riley doesn't care too much. He can secure the position of president not because of his reputation, but because he can bring the team a championship. What he needs most now is a championship!
The team has paid such a high price in the past few years. If they can't win a championship, even if the boss doesn't say it, he will have no face to hang out with the Heat. Even if he wants to hang out, it's meaningless. Once James leaves, other People will fall down and scatter, and the Heat will become a weak team in a blink of an eye. It will take several years of accumulation to become a strong team again.

Mike D'Antoni truce due to illness, so he can only let Dan D'Antoni act as the head coach to lead the team. Fortunately, he is also very familiar with the team's tactics and can take command immediately after taking over.

Game start.

The Heat's starters are: Wade, James, Bosh, Battier, Anderson;

The Knicks' starters are: Gatsby, Thompson, Leonard, Green and Bogut.

The game has entered a state of anxiety from the very beginning. After two games of mutual testing, basically the details of both sides are almost understood. In fact, they have fought fiercely in the Eastern Conference finals in the first two games. The two sides have no secrets. Just want to take the lead.

The Knicks first created opportunities for Thompson. Thompson's performance is becoming more and more stable and better. He is very good at tearing up defenses without the ball.

The Heat let Wade attack first. Wade grabbed Bogut and attacked him. He made two fouls and expelled Bogut. The Knicks could only let Whiteside play.

Both sides are making a fuss about the weaknesses of their opponents. The defense must have a choice. There cannot be a defense without flaws, unless the two sides are at different levels, but the Heat and the Knicks are teams of the same level, and they can only make choices.

The first and second quarters were a stalemate. After the first half, the score was 48:50.

The Heat's defense tonight is very good. The Knicks scored more than 60 points in the first half in the previous two games, but they only scored 50 points tonight, which is already low for the Knicks.

Knicks fans were worried, but I have to say that this is the real Eastern Conference Finals, and this intensity and intensity is at the Finals level.

"I don't know if the Knicks and the Heat will meet in the Eastern Finals next season, but their rivalry is great enough. They met in the Eastern Finals in three seasons. This year's Eastern Finals is even more classic among the classics. A final-level competition!" Director Zhang exclaimed.

"In the first and second quarters, the scores between the two sides did not open up, and the main players of both sides, James and Gatsby, didn't exert much force. They all let the rest of the team play. Presumably they kept their strength in the second half. The third The first quarter is the key one to decide the game, I don't know which team will seize this high ground, it's really exciting!" Yang Yi said.

The big dramas in the eastern part take turns, just like Hollywood inspirational movies. There is always something exciting to go out on the field, but the western part is calm. The Spurs and the Grizzlies lead 3:0. The Grizzlies defeated The Clippers extinguished the Thunder again, with great momentum, but when facing the Spurs, they turned into little raccoons.

Popovich is already thinking about his opponent in the next round, and he casts his dark eyes to the East, where there are two opponents who make him daunting.

Whether it is the Heat or the Knicks, Popovich does not have the confidence to win, but he would rather face the Miami Heat, because he knows how to restrain James, but he does not know how to limit Gatsby.

"Gatsby is... a little demon!" Ginobili said. "He doesn't seem to have any technical flaws. He is like a composite of MJ (Jordan), Curry, Nash, Kidd, etc. He can shoot three-pointers, and he is also top-notch in the middle distance. He is better than the center at the basket. He can hit the ball, he is like MJ in the back, his range covers the entire half court, and his breakthrough is as sharp as Tim Hardaway... All in all, omnipotent!

Facing other people, we can flank and force him to score in an unfamiliar way, but what is his unfamiliar way of scoring? ...it seems not. "

When Popovich consulted Ginobili, Ginobili himself was at a loss.

"It's better to let him shoot the mid-range than to let him shoot the three-pointer." Duncan said suddenly.

The third quarter has begun, and the situation on the court has changed. The Heat adopted the Spurs' defensive method, denying three-pointers and the basket, and defending to steal three-pointers.

Popovich tapped the TV: "Look, Miami tried it for us."

After a while, Duncan shook his head in frustration. "The Heat are getting beat to death."

Gatsby immediately reacted to the Heat's sudden change of strategy. Wade rushed in if he got out of the paint.

"He plays like Kobe!" Parker said.

Popovich nodded sullenly, so similar!

Kobe and the Spurs can often play well in games because he is a true mid-range master. The Spurs have never been very good at restricting guards with mid-range shots. Kobe is like this, and so is Curry.

Gatsby made one mid-range shot after another. When the defense came out, he would break through or pass the ball. If the ball he shot was a flying sword, then Madison Square Garden was the sword at this moment. The radiant situation is over!

Coach Spoelstra walked around the sidelines anxiously with his hips crossed. There was only one question in his head: What should I do?
How should Gatsby defend?
If it were another superstar, those who were good at assists would have separated him from other opponents, and those who were good at offense would have killed him. There would always be a way to contain him.

But it doesn’t work against Gatsby. If you let him organize, his team will bloom in full swing. If you let him attack, he is likely to score 50 or [-] points to beat you. If you leave him alone, he will score [-]+ Triple-double for you to see!
What a killer!
Popovich shook his head and said: "There are not too many surprises, let's prepare to play the Knicks."

Ginobili said: "This is the third game."

Popovich smiled and said, "Miami has no way to limit Gatsby. Want to compete with the Knicks on offense? They will lose!"

"What about us?" Deng definitely looked at Popovich.

Popovich smiled: "Look at luck... I really saw such a player for the first time... so perfect!"

Popovich's vision was sharp. In the third quarter, under the leadership of Gatsby, the Knicks blasted a wave of 34:21, extending the lead to 15 points!
This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that Heat fans discovered that James doesn't seem to know how to play!

In the third quarter, it is logical that he should take over the game, but he is still passing the ball, passing the ball after breaking through, passing the ball standing on the top of the Hu, and passing the ball when he presses down and plays. In one quarter, he only attacked 4 times!
"He is already doubting himself. In the fourth quarter, we will play a sharper offense, and we will win the game in half a quarter. Is there any problem!" Gatsby shouted.

"no!"

"Who are we?" "Knicks!"

"Who are we?" "Knicks!"

"Who are we?" "Knicks!"

"knicks! let's go!"

The fourth quarter begins.

The Heat flanked Gatsby, completely emptied Green, and let Bosh assist in the defense. The others began to shrink. In the first few rounds, Green was not firm enough, and the Heat defended a few. When Green understood it, he was determined. Breaking through, Bosh assisted the defense and passed the ball. Bosh did not defend him and made a layup. The Knicks played a wave of 10:2. With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks had opened the point difference to 23 point!
Spoelstra replaced the starter and declared the loss.

Spoelstra said in an interview after the game: "The only reason for our loss tonight is that we couldn't guard against Gatsby. Even though we have done a lot of things against him tonight, he still Scored 42 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, although I don't want to admit it, but I think he is a stronger player than Michael Jordan!"

Dan D'Antoni was interviewed: "Tonight I coach Gatsby as the head coach. This feeling is really good. I just need to give him the tactics, and he will naturally respond to you. I just need to pay attention to the situation , I don’t need to worry about the implementation at all.”

"...MJ? Haha, do you think so now? In my eyes, he is a player comparable to MJ. I even think his achievements will be even higher than MJ. Think about it, MJ only won 6 Championship, OK, the word "only" I said is indeed not very good, but Gatsby is only 23 years old now, he already has two championship rings in his hand, and he is only a few years away from his third championship ring. It’s not far away...what, yes, we’ve come to this day, of course we’re going to win the championship!"

"... LeBron, what the hell is wrong with you! You only took 8 shots in the second half, and that's when you took over the game! ... Slot! I don't even know what you're thinking! ... Let me explain, ok, You explain now!...Hehe, what nonsense reason are you talking about, other people have a better chance?...Did they pinch you?...Haha, I don’t know why the Big Three were formed in the first place, but now it’s heaven What a joke! Hahaha!"

Angry quarrels could be heard faintly in the locker room of the visiting team, as if the sound of a building collapsing...
