the great gatsby

Chapter 472
The game officially begins.

The Nets' starting lineup is: Lopez, Pierce, Deron, Garnett and Joe Johnson.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Gatsby, Thompson, Leonard, Green and Whiteside.

Whiteside and Lopez jumped the ball in the middle. Both are seven-footers. Whiteside touched the ball first and passed the ball to Gatsby. Deron blocked in front of Gatsby to defend.

Gatsby slowly crossed the half court protecting the ball, but Deron defended harder, but Gatsby turned a blind eye to Deron's interference, observed the defensive lineup of the Nets, and the ball was skillfully at his side circulation.

Gatsby raised his hand, and Green quickly stepped up to pick and roll. Green blocked, Gatsby dribbled to one side, and Green followed it down. Gatsby hit the ground and passed the ball to Green. Green broke through and attracted Lopez to help defend. , Green threw the ball and Whiteside dunked!
0: 2.
The Knicks' common tactic -- the Gatsby Green pick-and-roll.

Deron held the ball across the half court and gave the ball to Joe Johnson. Johnson singled Thompson, but it was not easy to play. Thompson's defense was very solid, biting Joe Johnson's footsteps, and his speed and rhythm could keep up. The difference in height and weight seems to be that it is not easy for Joe Johnson to beat Thompson.

Joe Johnson failed to get rid of Thompson and could only use a difficult back jumper, but was interfered by Thompson and missed, and Whiteside protected the rebound.

Gatsby passed halftime quickly, and Green came up to pick and roll again. This time, Deron and Garnett switched defenses. Garnett pressed his focus to defend Gatsby. The basket forced Lopez to assist in the defense, and Gaizi made an empty catch to Whiteside, and Whiteside made a dunk.

Gatsby smiled softly. The Nets introduced Garnett because they had illusions about Garnett's defense. However, Garnett is 38 years old and his overall physical condition has declined. His ability to defend mismatches and assist defense , has disappeared with the passage of time, and the Nets' defense is a mess in Gatsby's opinion!
The progress of the game deepened. This strong Eastern team, which was boasted to be able to compete with the Knicks in the Eastern Conference, was dismembered bit by bit by Gatsby. The weaknesses of the Nets were exposed. The aging structure and the running-in time Short and undisciplined, he has no power to fight back against the young Knicks.

Especially for Gatsby's breakthrough, the Nets couldn't find anyone to limit Gatsby. Neither Deron nor Joe Johnson could stop Gatsby, and Gatsby didn't play much against them. They specifically look for mismatches like Pierce, Garnett, and Lopez to fight.

Because of the Knicks' unreasonable schedule, Gatesbee, in order to let the rest of the team have more opportunities to rest, fired from the beginning, scoring 18 points in the first quarter, and 16 points in the second quarter. After scoring 32 points, he scored [-] points at halftime!
In the second half, the Nets finally woke up like a dream and began to resist hard, but it was of no use. D'Antoni joined the small lineup and completely destroyed the Nets with a wave of 24:6 attacks. , the score of the two sides was 85:126, and they beat the Nets with 41 points!

This result shocked everyone. It is not a big deal that the Knicks can win, but the Nets are a very luxurious-looking team after all. Even though their age structure is seriously aging, those people are still the same as before. Star!

Gatsby scored 54 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the game, another triple-double!

Gatsby's godlike performance left the entire league speechless.

While the entire league was slandering and confronting the Knicks, Gatsby did not give in. The Knicks' recent moves have attracted the attention of all parties in the league, and the changes within the Knicks team have also attracted the attention of these people. Te was cleared out, which makes people feel that it is not easy to understand, but then the Knicks announced that they will build their own big data system, which makes people understand Gatsby's ambitions!
The Knicks' changes have made the rest of the league anxious, and Gatsby's full blast at the beginning of this season has made many people look at this matter with the mentality of watching a joke.

The best state of an NBA team is to slowly enter the state at the beginning of the season, and then push the state to its peak when it is about to enter the playoffs. This is the best state. Those teams or individuals that break out at the beginning of the season , it will lose stamina later on, which is not a good thing.

Gatsby didn't pay too much attention on the court, but on the construction off the court. He was especially concerned about it. While checking with Long Xiaoman on the construction of the big data company, he also promoted the team's technology development in big data. To sort out, what changes should be made in conjunction with the team.

As a team with a long history, the Knicks have accumulated rich experience and a set of effective methods, but some things are no longer suitable for the development of the times. Gates is trying to make changes during this period , Let this team with a deep heritage be full of vitality again.

The operation of a team definitely does not mean how many championships it has won, which means it is a successful team. Although this is an important criterion, some teams have to split most of the championships immediately after winning the championship. members, because they can no longer support such a gold-eating monster, even if the income in the playoffs is very considerable.

The structure of an NBA team is not simple, from the team owner, to the president (some teams are directly the general manager), to the executive vice president (there are venue operations, ticketing and marketing, human resources, media work and financial management, etc. etc.), as well as professional technical teams, such as the coaching staff and the medical team. In fact, they are a company.

This time Gatsby took action on the executive vice president. Over the years, the Knicks had multiple executive vice presidents. The Knicks had a total of 14 executive vice presidents, each of whom only shared a small part of the work. Responsibilities are not clearly divided, and disputes often occur.

When buying an airplane last time, there were several executive vice presidents who wanted to step in to make some oil and water. This is a project that the general manager, Donny Walsh, personally controls!

Gatsby combined the opinions of Donny Walsh, D'Antoni, Rodney Hurd and the financial department, and determined that only 8 executive vice presidents will be left, and the other 6 will be abolished. These six are related to positions. Corruption, Gatsby also got hold of their corruption records and coerced them into resigning on their own.

The six people were aggressive at the beginning, but after Donny Walsh presented the evidence, they could only pack up their things and leave in despair.

After these moths were cleared out, Gatsby and Donny Walsh began to streamline. Gatsby does not believe in complicated processes. The more complicated the process, the slower the response speed, the lower the efficiency, and there will be corruption. There will be more.

Gatsby streamlined the entire administrative process, and the spirit of the entire Knicks became clear. Under such circumstances, people in a bloated and large organization will become more aggressive, and the Knicks will glow with new vitality.

Then Gatsby integrated the team's medical team. For a sports club, a good medical team is very important. In the sports club's medical team, there are not many requirements for these major surgeries. Because once they encounter an injury that affects their career, athletes can choose to let the best sports rehabilitation doctors in the world perform the surgery.

On the contrary, it is more important to observe and monitor the health and fatigue of athletes, and to take turns and check-ups. The focus is on prevention. As long as this is done, it is a qualified medical team.

But often this is not satisfied. It is not easy to do this, because a lot of high-tech equipment is required for monitoring, and many teams can only organize players to go to the hospital for examination at regular intervals, but the time interval is long. Monitoring the players is better than nothing.

After consulting relevant people, Gatsby determined that the Knicks' medical team was not qualified at all. In fact, he himself had heard that the Knicks' medical team was too bad in his previous life. In 2014, Phil Jackson took over the Knicks. Well, he wants to fire the entire medical team.

In the last season he took over, the Knicks only achieved 37 wins and 45 losses. In addition to poor signings, a large number of injuries greatly damaged the Knicks' combat effectiveness.

The main center Chandler played only 55 games, and the new aid Bargnani only attended 42 games. Stoudemire, who had a high salary, was tortured by injuries and could only play soy sauce.

The seemingly strong Knicks once made former coach Mike Woodson almost unavailable.In the view of "Zen Master", the reason why the team suffered from large-scale injuries is directly related to the inability of the team's medical team. Phil Jackson hopes to fire the existing mediocre medical team and let the Knicks Revitalization.But James Dolan objected, saying the medical team could not touch it.

Gatsby is not James Dolan. The reason why the Knicks achieved success in the past few years is because of Gatsby's rotation system, which makes players rarely play at the limit. If you rely on the guys from the medical team, Not to mention the dynasty, there may not be a championship!
Under Gatsby's iron fist, the Knicks fired the entire medical team. The medical department is mainly composed of the following four types of people, team doctor, physical therapist, and sports doctor. Among them, the team doctor is the most important person, also known as the chief sports injury protection division. , they are generally the heads of the medical departments of each team.

Now that the medical team has been fired, someone has to take over. Gatsby sent Donny Walsh to Germany, and then Donny Walsh brought a surprise to Gatsby. Donny Walsh hired Dr. Wolfart, Bayern's team doctor!

Football fans should know that Dr. Wolfart has played for Bayern for nearly 40 years, but he voluntarily resigned in 2015 because of internal strife in the team. At this time, the contradictions have reached the point of irreconcilability, Downey Walsh's past makes Dr. Wolfart hard to make up his mind.

How amazing Dr. Wolfart is, just look at the list of athletes who have recovered under his hands:
From Beckenbauer in the 70s to Maradona in the 80s;
From Ronaldo in the 90s to Gerrard in the new millennium;
From Jordan and Kobe in the basketball field to Graf, the tennis star;
From Powell in track and field to Almsik in swimming...

Countless sports superstars who suffered injuries that could ruin their careers recovered their health and even rejuvenated with Wolfart's healing and help. This doctor, who is well-known in the world of sports, actually got Donny Walsh to invite him back?

Naturally, Wolfart didn't come here alone, but brought a team. Gatsby and Long Xiaoman hosted a banquet for this miracle doctor.

The arrival of Wolfart made the entire Knicks boil, especially the athletes. With Wolfart, their careers will be extremely comfortable, while players from other teams are envious. Nick This has become the most desirable place for all NBA players.

Big ball market, high exposure rate, this was the attraction in the past, but now it has a high probability of winning the championship, and it is very likely to make a lot of money with Gatsby. Look at the dynasty that the Knicks players now hold in their hands Just know the shares of shared bicycles.

Then this season, the Knicks specially purchased a large plane. There are not only beds on the plane, but also rehabilitation equipment and entertainment equipment. Now they have introduced Wolfart, a world-renowned doctor. Out of the best choice!

Gatsby did not spend much time in the process of reorganizing the team, because his authority had reached its peak. No one on the team dared to confront him, with the full support of the boss, the unconditional support of the general manager, and the support of the players. Trust made his change extremely smooth.

Gatesby tried his best to simplify all the processes, eliminate those who are not motivated, and promote those who are capable and self-motivated. The people who need to be recruited from the outside are basically those who are well-known in the industry. Once it was rectified, the team was twisted into a single rope.

Gatsby, who just returned from the away game at the end of the month, lay down and chatted with Long Xiaoman after having some fun.

"After this transformation, the Knicks' competitiveness should be greatly improved. You will also be able to have more time. Then you can travel more and you won't have to stay in New York all the time." Gatsby said with a smile.

Long Xiaoman's face was reddish, and he hummed softly and said: "You haven't learned these things, how can you be so decisive when dealing with these things?"

Gatsby smiled and said: "It's not difficult, managing a company is about the same as being a human being, you can't always use the simplest way to solve problems, but in the end you still have to pursue the simplicity of things.

Strict process is of course a good thing, and it can avoid many mistakes, but it is a conservative company. We Knicks are expanding our territory these years. Si is more aggressive, which is the best thing to do now.

In fact, you all know what I do. It needs to be reformed, where to start, how to do it, and who to find. In fact, it can be done by Donnie Walsh or a certain director of the team. Before Most people can see the disadvantages when they go to see them, and they know how to eliminate them, but they either don't have the determination or don't have the ability.

My role in this is actually to help you make up your mind, and then use my influence on the team to force everyone to change, that's all. "

Long Xiaoman smiled and said: "It sounds simple, but hiding a knife and a gun inside is not as simple as you said."

Gatsby smiled in the dark, yes, things are not so simple, easier said than done, that's it.
