the great gatsby

Chapter 47 The matchup of the undrafted!
The Knicks attack, and Gatsby dribbles the ball quickly across half court. He finds that the defender has changed, and standing in front of him is Charlie Bell.

Charlie Bell is 191cm tall and weighs 90kg. He is a veritable heavy-duty guard, but his journey in the NBA is just as bumpy. Like Gatsby, he is also a draft pick, but he is not as lucky as Gatsby. He signed to the NBA.

After losing the draft, he represented the Phoenix Suns in five summer league games, averaging 5 minutes and 8.4 points per game.

After being waived by the Suns, he played 4 games for the ABA's Phoenix Eclipses, averaging 19.3 points, 4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

在2002年1月10日与达拉斯小牛队签下一份10天的短工合同，2002年1月15日与小牛续约，但是总共只为达拉斯小牛队出场2次。

Afterwards, he wandered around in major teams in Italy and Spain, and did not return to the NBA until he was signed by the Bucks in the 05-06 season. This is the fate of marginal players.

They never know what their fate will be tomorrow, and they may have to rush to another team with a package tomorrow, because they may be traded at any time.

Not only these fringe players, but also some core players. Harrison Barnes, who was originally among the five dead in the Golden State Warriors, became the core of the team after the Dallas Mavericks.

Unexpectedly, Doncic, the rookie selected by the Lone Ranger in 18, played well and was established as the core of the team. The existence of Barnes has hindered the growth of the rookie. When the deal was announced, the Lone Ranger was still playing against the Hornets.

In the third quarter of the game, Barnes knew the news that he was traded, and he sat on the bench with a blank expression.After that, Barnes did not appear on stage again, and the camera showed Barnes many times, and his experience aroused a lot of sympathy.

James publicly supported Barnes on Instagram and also spoke out for players to have more control over their own destiny.

James posted a video of Barnes sitting deadpan on the bench after learning of the trade, before sarcastically writing: "So, let me guess, it's cool because they have to do what's best for the team What? Traded this man while he was still playing, he didn't know anything about it."

But Barnes, after all, was a gentleman of good family, and even after being treated like this, he was still grateful afterwards. He wrote:

"Thank you to the entire Mavericks and Cuban, Coach Carlisle, my teammates and all the Mavericks fans. They made me feel at home here in the past 2 and a half seasons. I will never forget the incredible city. Fans. Plus, I'm excited for the next chapter of my life with the Kings."

As a marginal man, Charlie Bell has the heaviest sense of crisis. He will seize every opportunity to express himself in order to be able to win more data-this will help him sign the next contract.

Facing Gatsby, who was also a loser in the draft but managed to thrive, he said it was impossible not to be jealous, so he taunted Gatsby aloud: "Little boy, come on, come on and break through!" me!"

Gatsby smiled: "Wow, hello ugly tough guy!"

Charlie Bell's mocking face froze: "fuck, what are you talking about?"

"I say: Hello ugly tough guy!" Gatsby also had a mocking smile on his face.

Ugly please go away.

Charlie Bell's dark face turned red, he wanted to argue that he was not ugly, but looking at Gatsby's handsome face, he couldn't say anything——Gatsby is really annoying!
Charlie Bell was full of anger, which was reflected in his defense. He used his strong body to press Gatsby, constantly used his body to squeeze Gatsby, and seized the opportunity to collide with Gatsby.

"Wow! Charlie is acting very tough, Gatsby is in trouble!" Charles Barkley gloated.

Although Gatsby looked embarrassed under Charlie Bell's oppression, he staggered to protect the ball, but his face was very calm. He had expected that someone would target his weak body--Wade would definitely not be the first indivual.

But now he is not afraid. This comes from his confidence in his body. He has become faster and more durable. He has enough confidence to deal with it.

"Danilo! Pick and roll!" Gatsby yelled at Gallinari, protecting the ball.

Gallinari hurried up to the top of the arc and stood one step away from Charlie Bell. Gatsby saw Gallinari coming up from the corner of his eye and quickly dribbled the ball in Gallinari's direction. Charlie Bell took a step diagonally forward, Trying to get past the defense.

Gatsby changed direction with one hand in front of his body, and Charlie Bell was shocked: False cover!

Gatsby rushed straight through, Gallinari turned around and blocked Charlie Bell's pursuit, Ilyasova moved in, he was afraid that Gatsby would break through directly.

Gatsby stepped back directly to the three-point line, pulled up and shot!
"Three points hit! Gatsby!" Kenny Smith yelled.

Gatsby's 12th point!
After Gatsby scored a goal, he made a classic hand-slap-Jordan-style taunt at Charlie Bell.

"Haha, interesting. Gatsby is a very interesting rookie. He is not only powerful, but also tough. Facing Charlie Bell's tough defense, his counterattack is very sharp. Not only did he hit a three-pointer under Charlie Bell's tough defense. Points, and even mocked the opponent! Haha!" Kenny Smith laughed loudly.

The fans in Madison Square Garden were even more excited to hear the news. For the fans, it is not a big deal to take advantage of others. They like players with such personality. Honestly, players are not cute at all, they are naughty and mischievous.

This is why there are many fans of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, etc., because they are very personal, while stars such as Tim Duncan and Leonard are powerful, but they have much fewer fans. reason.

The eyes of Gatsby's fans are even brighter - their idol is so cute!
Charlie Bell's tough defense did not cause too much trouble for Gatsby, and even the physical problems that D'Antoni worried about did not appear.Gatsby hit two three-pointers over Charlie Bell and sent out two assists, forcing Coach Scott to call a timeout.

The time also happened to be in the middle of the second quarter. Gatsby played continuously for about 12 minutes, but Gatsby did not seem exhausted.

Gatsby's personal data has come to 15 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals.
